(AllHipHop News) Robert “Meek Mill” Williams’ legal situation continues to play out in courtrooms and in the public. The Philadelphia rapper’s attorney, Jordan Siev, sat down with The Angie Martinez Show to share his client’s side of the ongoing story involving Common Pleas Court Judge Genece E. Brinkley.

“We think Judge Brinkley has taken an unusual interest in [Meek’s] career and has stepped over the line from acting solely as a judge should act and injecting herself in his professional career in ways that are not appropriate,” said Siev.

The lawyer once again suggested that Brinkley took issue with Meek being associated with Roc Nation instead of his former manager Charlie Mack. Siev then read sections of court transcripts he maintains backs up his claim.

Brinkley was quoted saying in 2012:

The other manager, we didn’t have no problems, scheduling, and we don’t have no problem understanding that he was going to come back here in six months. He understood all of that. I don’t know how or when you all [current management] got involved, but he didn’t have none of these problems. He didn’t have no problems with the other manager, so you all let him down this time.

In 2013, Brinkley was quoted saying:

Charlie Mack was the person that came up in here during the trial. He came during the trial. He came and provided this Court with a contract saying that he was going to be working under contract with [Meek]… It was when the defendant got new management that apparently there became some miscommunication about travel. And I said that before, and I’m saying it again, everyone has to be on the same page.

Assistant District Attorney Noel Ann DeSantis was quoted saying:

Your Honor, [Meek’s] not supposed to be around anyone who is under supervision and be around known felons. Your honor made an exception back in the day with the management to Mr. Mack. That was the only exception you made. So we litigated this a long time ago.

Siev went on to share more examples of ADA DeSantis and Meek’s probation officer referring to Mack in open court. The attorney also pointed out that Judge Brinkley did not push back against public officials implying for years that Meek Mill should change management.

“If you put yourself in Meek’s position, he’s fighting for his liberty. He hears these statements. What’s the only logical conclusion? Put yourself in his shoes. The only logical conclusion to draw from that is this is what the judge, the district attorney, and the probation officer want,” stated Siev.

Meek Mill’s legal team is requesting Brinkley recuse herself from the case. They are also appealing the Wins & Losses album creator’s 2-4 year sentence in state prison for probation violation.

(AllHipHop News) “Wait A Minute” was a breakout tune for Phresher. The track’s success led to established emcees like 50 Cent and Royce Da 5’9″ spitting their own bars over the beat, and the Brooklyn native’s 2016 single got an extra boost when Remy Ma jumped on the official remix.

Phresher and Remy were even joined by Young M.A in the video for their new version. According to the song’s creator, Bronx rapstress Cardi B was set to be part of the collaboration as well.

“She was supposed to do the ‘Wait A Minute (Remix)’ but due to a lot of bullsh-t we couldn’t release her part. Cardi B was actually in the video and everything,” Phresher revealed in an interview with AllHipHop. “Some people were hating on her situation. That’s before she really broke, but I seen it. I was going through it with a bigger artist about her being on it, so she didn’t make the video.”

Cardi went on to work with Phresher on his “Right Now” record. The two New York representatives are also set to join forces again on PH.

“For features, we got Jay Critch, Don Q, DreamDoll, Cardi B, and a couple more. We’re waiting for some things to come in. It’ll be wrapped up in the next few weeks. I’m very excited,” said Phresher about his forthcoming full length. “We got Philthy Rich from the Bay. We got Derez De’Shon from Atlanta. We’re working.”

Reazy Renegade, IllaDaProducer, and Go Grizzly contributed production to the project. Additionally, Phresher plans to drop two to three PH visuals each month.

(AllHipHop News) Twenty years ago Lil Kim recruited Da Brat, Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott, Angie Martinez, and Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes for an all-female posse cut. “Not Tonight (Ladies Night Remix)” became a Hip Hop classic.

While modern spitters like Rapsody have expressed interest in recreating the song, a similar star-studded collaboration has yet to happen. Missy also hopes women in rap can get together for another “Ladies Night” type of record.

“It seemed like every woman out there came out and supported that record and that moment,” Miss E told Complex. “I would hope to see that again at some point before we leave this Earth. [Laughs.] Or I’d hate for Earth to leave us first. I would love to see that moment again, because it most definitely was a time to remember.”

The groundbreaking singer/rapper later added, “So I can’t never say that that won’t happen again because if you would’ve asked me years before that we probably wouldn’t have known that that could happen then. So I just hope it would. But you know, hey, I’m rooting for it, if it does, for sure.”

(AllHipHop News) Fresh off winning his first Grammy award on Sunday, Donald “Childish Gambino” Glover is giving fans the chance to reflect on earlier stages of his music career. The entertainer’s 2011 EP project is now available on streaming services for the first time.

Glover’s Wolf + Rothstein label/management company partnered with the distribution/payments platform Stem for EP. The collection is the initial creative endeavor powered by Wolf + Rothstein which is expected to continue with more releases throughout 2018.

“Artists should never be in the position where the industry hinders their creative output,” says Wolf Taylor, one of Glover’s managers and partners in Wolf + Rothstein. “Our goal is to give our artists the ability to release content when and where they want. Partnering with Stem has allowed us to maintain our major label resources while providing us with a platform to independently release our special projects.”

Stem CEO, Milana Lewis states, “It’s rewarding for our team at Stem to help artists realize the true potential value of their content and watch how that revenue is reinvested to power their future creative endeavors.We are inspired by the infrastructure Wolf + Rothstein is creating to support artists, and aim to continue to build tools that help businesses like theirs flourish.”

Childish Gambino won the Best Traditional R&B Performance Grammy for “Redbone” off the “Awaken, My Love!” album. His discography also includes Camp, Because The Internet, Royalty, and STN MTN/Kauai.

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West didn’t need an official fashion show to display his latest collection. Instead, West’s wife Kim Kardashian instagrammed pictures of Paris Hilton wearing Yeezy Season 6.

In addition, other social media influencers can be seen in Kanye’s clothes. The IG pages of the Clermont Twins, Kristen Noel Crawley, Jordyn Woods, Yovana Ventura, Sami Miró, Sarah Snyder, and Amina Blue served as faux magazine covers.

Kim K debuted Yeezy Season 6 back in December when photogs caught her sporting nine outfits in one day. The new Instagram campaign features the models recreating some of those pics.

(AllHipHop News) Drake has become the first artist to debut two songs on the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10 simultaneously twice.

The rapper’s “God’s Plan” has rocketed to number one, while “Diplomatic Immunity” enters at seven. “God’s Plan” is Drake’s fourth Hot 100 number one but only his second as a lead artist.

He also becomes only the 29th artist to debut a new song at the top of the countdown.

Drake previously debuted “Passionfruit” and “Portland” in the top 10 last year, just over two months after Ed Sheeran became the first artist to debut two tracks in the top 10 in the same week.

The Brit’s “Shape of You” landed at number one, five spots ahead of “Castle on the Hill.”

Drake’s new hits take his Hot 100 tally to 159, extending his lead for the most among soloists.

Only the cast of Glee has totaled more, with 207 hits.

“God’s Plan” has also rocketed to the top of the official U.K. Singles chart.

Meanwhile, Sheeran’s Perfect holds at two in America as Camila Cabello’s Havana drops from one to three. Post Malone’s Rockstar falls a spot to four, and Grammy champion Bruno Mars’ Finesse collaboration with Cardi B rounds out the new top five.

(AllHipHop News) Donald Glover has admitted it would “be cool” to join the prestigious EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) club now that he has won his first Grammy Award.

The multi-talented performer took home the prize for best traditional R&B performance for his song “Redbone” at the 60th annual Grammy Awards in New York on Sunday night.

Glover has already won two Emmy awards for his hit FX series “Atlanta,” which he writes and stars in, and the wins have put the 34-year-old, who raps under the name Childish Gambino, on track to become the 13th person to join the exclusive EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) club.

Glover takes a relaxed view to winning the Oscar and Tony award needed to get into the club, which counts Whoopi Goldberg, Audrey Hepburn and Mel Brooks among its members.

“(That’s) a little scary. There’s a lot of pressure,” he told The New York Daily News. “‘Now you got to get an Oscar.’ That’s a lot of work.”

Glover, who was nominated for four other awards, including Record of the Year and Album of the Year for “Awaken, My Love!” but lost out to Bruno Mars in both categories, also confirmed his intention to retire his rap alter-ego.

“I stand by that,” he insisted. “I’m really appreciative of this, and I’m still making another project. But I like endings… I think endings are good because they force things to get better.”

The rising star has several big movie projects in the works including a starring role as a young Lando Calrissian in “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” and the live-action remake of “The Lion King” taking on the iconic role of Simba.

At the awards show, Glover performed his song “Terrified” with nine-year-old J.D. McCrary, who has been cast as young Simba in the upcoming film.

(AllHipHop News) Fans and critics who saw the “Black Panther” at its world premiere in Los Angeles on Monday have proclaimed it the best Marvel movie to date.

Ryan Coogler’s film, which stars Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa, an African prince ruling the fictional kingdom of Wakanda whose alter ego is the superhero Black Panther, has been hotly anticipated – but few predicted the universal praise it has received after its debut.

Among those blown away by the movie were Umberto Gonzalez, a film reporter for The Wrap, who wrote on Twitter, “I think the argument can be made for #BlackPanther being the best Marvel film ever! Just got out of premiere & overwhelmed at the imagery, the majesty, & a film that elevates the superhero genre to new heights.”

The stars were also present at the premiere and spoke to reporters about what they loved about the movie, the first superhero blockbuster to feature a majority black cast.

Angela Bassett, who plays Ramonda, T’Challa’s royal mother told Variety that she was delighted to see a group of black actors and filmmakers get the chance to create a superhero epic about an advanced African society.

Asked about what she loved about the movie she said, “To see all these beautiful, talented black people all in one place, this black nation, coming together, technologically advanced with so much swag and brilliance.”

Describing the film’s new take on the superhero genre, Oscar nominee Daniel Kaluuya, who stars as T’Challa’s best friend and security chief W’Kabi, added, “This is how it’s supposed to be, this is the actual world and this reflects the world and we have to tell honest stories from all perspectives, not just one.”

(AllHipHop News) DMX’s sobriety was shortlived as the rapper has been sent back to jail in Manhattan earlier today (January 30).

DMX was taken into custody for failing a series of drug tests after he was sentenced to a stint in a New Hampshire rehab in as his tax evasion trial looms.

According to reports, DMX had opioids, cocaine, and oxycodone in his system, an obvious breach of the terms of his release, which had been going well.

The rapper was granted leave from rehab to perform in several states along with a 24-hour sobriety coach, but it seems even this could not help DMX, born Earl Simmons.

The judge has branded the rap star as a flight risk, and he is currently being held without bail.

“I’m saddened and disappointed. We’ll have to deal with it accordingly,” DMX’s lawyer Murray Richman said in a statement.

(AllHipHop News) Two of the best rappers to ever come out of Baton Rouge may finally be linking up.

In 2018 after a few years of beefing, Lil Boosie and Kevin Gates could be sharing a stage together.

The two men and former collaborators had issues as early as 2009, after the death of Chris “Nussie” Jackson, who was one of five men gunned down by Michael Louding, aka Marlo Mike, allegedly on the orders of Boosie.

Boosie stood trial for hiring Marlo Mike to kill a man named Terry Boyd, but he was acquitted of the murder charge in May of 2012 and never charged in the Nussie killing.

In 2016, members of Boosie’s Bad Azz crew fought with people allegedly associated with Kevin Gates’ Bread Winners’ Association, in Louisville, Kentucky.

Gates, who was recently released from a prison in Illinois after serving nine months over gun charges, could be hitting the stage with Lil Boosie if the B.W.A boss can get permission from his probation officer.

“Just got off the line with @iamkevingates trying to pull it off so he can perform at the #BoosieBash THE CITY NEEDS THIS,” Lil Boosie said. “Say a prayer tonight that he’s allowed to travel ASAP…BIGGEST SHOW LOUISIANA HAS EVER SEEN.”
