After the devastating Hurst fire impacted the community of Altadena, Calif., in January, The Game heads out to the community of Altadena where he interviews first responders, local high school coaches and more about their survival stories from the Hurst fire. 

Keep watching this Billboard News special to learn more about those impacted.

The Game:

This is some serious… It’s serious business, man, and after this experience, now, when I hear a fire truck coming down the street, I’m pulling over and I’m not annoyed because usually it’s like “agh I got to pull over.”

Firefighter 1:

Over there we have our kitchen.

The Game:

You know I like to eat. Is he a good cook?

Firefighter 2:

The best!

The Game:

So you guys went up?

Firefighter 1:

I mean, I was here the day that everything happened. 

The Game:

Wow. 

Firefighter 1:

It was myself and one of the partners. But unfortunately, he’s not here. 

The Game:

How was that? 

Firefighter 1: 

It was one event where we thought that something was gonna happen and it just led to something way out of our hands.

The Game: 

My like, my hat’s on, but it’s off to you guys, man.

DeAnthony Langston: 

These guys are personal friends of mine. They’re high school coaches here. This is actually Tony’s crib that he grew up in right now. His mom’s crib right there, but all of them have their unique stories about how they were devastated about that right there. But this was a predominantly African American neighborhood, and just to see this is terrible man, and you coming out says a lot about you, man. And so I’d like everybody to introduce themselves and tell them what school you coach at. 

Tim Tucker: 

Not only were these fires big for our basketball program, two of our players lost their homes, but I also have residential treatment centers for kids. So I have group homes for kids. And we lost our girl’s house.

Nicky Jam sits down with Billboard to share details about changing record labels, a new album on the way and more!

Are you excited for Nicky’s new music? Let us know in the comments!

Nicky Jam:This new album is like a new Nicky Jam. 

Tetris Kelly:Nicky Jam has changed his record label, and we have the exclusive interview and announcement. 

Leila Cobo:Nicky, you are switching record labels after a long time with Sony. So where are you going, first of all? 

Nicky Jam:I’m going to Virgin Records. I went with my gut. I thought it was the best move to do. I have too much respect for AFO, the president of Sony Records, Sony Latin Records. It’s just sometimes you feel like you have to move. You know, it’s nothing personal, you know, it’s a mix of business and something that I just felt in my gut that it was the best move to do. I’m very spontaneous, and it’s just the way I am. I could say just, you know, I’m a bohemian. You know, I take my luggage and I go wherever I have to go, and it’s just the way I am. 

Leila Cobo: What were they offering you that you liked, or what did they bring to the table? 

Nicky Jam:A lot of things, man, family wise, their whole team and the creative part. This corporate way of coming out with music, to kill the buzz of the music, the momentum of the music, you have to wait four, five, six months to come out with a single. With these people at Virgin, I don’t have to wait. If I feel that a song’s gonna be a hit in a moment. They are not gonna mess with my creative part. And they’re gonna say, go ahead and come out. And that’s the way Bad Bunny works.

Eagles. 

Tetris Kelly:

Okay, just making sure,

Zedd:

Okay, I was rooting for somebody who’s no longer in, so I don’t know. Okay, part of me does not want the same team to win this many times in a row, but the other team knocked out the team I was rooting for it. As you can tell, I’m not naming anyone, right? 

Tetris Kelly:

He’s being very specific. 

Rania Aniftos: 

We could deduce.

But I’m rooting for a really good game.

You can’t ask me that. You look in the crowd, I might be at the game.

Oh, football.

That’s how I feel, too, don’t worry about it.
