Doechii Earns Her First No. 1 Hit With A Half-Decade-Old Song
Doechii's song 'Anxiety' has taken one of the strangest of routes to becoming a chart-topper in the United States. While the tune feels brand new to many of the millions who have fallen in love with it throughout 2025, it was actually released years ago. Doechii, then a relatively unknown musician, dropped the track back in 2019, releasing it by herself, as she was not yet signed. Now that it's finally picking up steam, it has become not just a commercial success, but a ruler on several rankings. This week, it even brings the hip-hop superstar to the summit on one tally for the very first time. 'Anxiety' appears on more than a dozen Billboard lists this frame. It debuts on two of them, and in lofty positions. The track enters at No. 3 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and conquers the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales roster, becoming an instant bestseller. As the cut launches, Doechii scores her first No. 1 hit on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales ranking. Including 'Anxiety,' the rapper has now pushed four tunes to that list, and three of them have entered the top 10. Before her first ruler, 'Denial Is a River' stood as her highest-rising hit, as it peaked at No. 3. A different version of 'Anxiety' — one led by hip-hop musician Sleepy Hallow which credits Doechii as a featured artist — climbed to No. 4 in March. 'What It Is (Block Boy)' with Kodak Black may be known as her breakout tune, as it brought her to this list for the first time in 2023, but it's her lowest-peaking effort thus far. That track failed to crack the top 10, stalling at No. 12. As 'Anxiety' arrives, Doechii has also now scored a trio of top 10s on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. 'Anxiety,' which is built around a sample of 'Somebody That I Used to Know' by Gotye and Kimbra, also proves itself to be a real radio hit. It controls the Rhythmic Airplay chart for another frame. At the same time, the growing cut rises to new peaks on both the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and Pop R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay tallies.

Rapper who appeared with Trump at rally pleads guilty to attempted murder
A New York City rapper who joined Donald Trump during a campaign rally last year has pleaded guilty to attempted murder and conspiracy charges after prosecutors say he used earnings from his music career to fuel gang violence in Brooklyn. Sheff G, whose legal name is Michael Williams, agreed to serve five years in prison as part of the plea entered in a Brooklyn court on Wednesday, Brooklyn district attorney Eric Gonzalez said. 'Notoriety could not shield this defendant from justice,' Gonzalez said in a statement. 'He used his fame to fund and direct violence, terrorizing our streets.' The 26-year-old rapper, whose songs and videos have millions of YouTube views and Spotify streams, was among those arrested in connection with a long-term investigation into gang-related shootings in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. More than 30 purported members of the Eight Trey Crips and the street gang's affiliate, the 9 Ways gang, have so far been indicted. Among them is Tegan Chambers, a rapper known as Sleepy Hallow who also appeared on stage with the president and Sheff G during the 23 May 2024, rally in the Bronx. Prosecutors say Sheff G showered money and jewelry on gang members as they battled rivals in Brooklyn. In one shooting, they say Sheff G even acted as the getaway driver, chauffeuring three codefendants to and from a 2021 shooting that targeted a rival but instead hit two bystanders. He also treated Sleepy Hallow and others to a lavish dinner at a Manhattan steakhouse to celebrate a 2020 shooting that killed a purported rival gang member and injured five others, according to prosecutors. Surveillance videos, social media posts, text messages and more document the criminal activities, and the two rappers also boasted about their deeds in their songs, Gonzalez's office said.

Sheff G is due to be sentenced on 13 August; Sleepy Hallow is due in court on 11 April. The two were among the notable names Trump touted during his campaign stops as he worked to woo Black voters by comparing his legal challenges with racial prejudice in the criminal justice system. 'One thing I want to say: they are always going to whisper your accomplishments and shout your failures,' Sheff G told the Bronx crowd last May after being invited on stage by the Republican candidate. 'Trump is going to shout the wins for all of us.'
