The record's remarkable success has seen it peak at number one on Billboard’s Rap Album Chart and at number three on the Billboard 200 Chart.

Viola Davis Working With ABC on New Show
Two-time Tony winner, Emmy winner and 2017 Oscar frontrunner Viola Davis is developing a single-camera comedy, The Zipcoders, for ABC. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the late 1960s-set show will follow a group of Texas-based African-American teens who want to form a band like The Beatles. Davis and her hubby, Julius Tennon, came up with the idea for the potential series, which will be written by Marshall Todd (Barbershop).

Sierra Boggess & More to Honor David Hyde Pierce
Sierra Boggess, Tyne Daly, Billy Porter, Bebe Neuwirth, F. Murray Abraham and Christopher Sieber are just some of the stars that have boarded the lineup for the 33rd Annual Drama League Centennial Musical Celebration of Broadway. The previously reported event, which will honor Tony and Emmy winner David Hyde Pierce, is scheduled to take place at The Plaza on November 7 in New York. How do we get to be a fly on the wall?

Will & Grace Revival in the Works?
After reuniting to encourage folks to show up to the polls, Will, Grace, Karen and Jack might return to the small screen. According to The Wrap, NBC is in early negotiation stages to bring back Will and Grace. The site also learned that the set used for the recent skit was kept intact for possible use in future sketches or full episodes. If it all works out, we’d have Tony nominee Sean Hayes and fellow Broadway alums Debra Messing, Eric McCormack and Megan Mullally singing with Patti LuPone, ordering gin with Bernadette Peters and more once again. Fingers crossed!

Nathan Lane on What John Slattery Looks Like Naked
Nathan Lane, John Goodman and John Slattery are currently headlining The Front Page and the trio recently stopped by The View to talk about the Broadway revival. "It's an odd mixture of dark comedy, melodrama and then my character shows up and it starts to veer towards farce," said Lane, before going on to affectionately tease Slattery about how he looks naked. The word "elbow" will never be the same again. Check out the fun video below; Ben Hect and Charles MacArthur's classic is playing at the Broadhurst Theatre.
