(AllHipHop News) Meek Mill’s request for freedom has been denied once again.

Last Friday (December 1), Judge Genece Brinkley issued a ruling justifying her decision to send Meek back to prison for 2-4 years, over a series of probation violations from a 2008 drug and gun case.

Judge Brinkley labeled Meek a “danger to the community,” due to failed drug tests, a fight in a St. Louis airport, travelling witbout permisson and issues with his actual address.

Meek’s lawyers immediately appealed the verdict to Superior Court, on Monday (December 4) of this week.

Yesterday (December 6), Superior Court, upheld Judge Brinkley’s ruling.

Meek’s lawyers request to remove the judge from his case was case was shot down, despite a series of strange requests that are being investigated by the F.B.I.

Meek’s lawyers maintains Judge Brinkley has a vendetta against the rapper, because he refused to leave Roc Nation management, in addition to laughing off her request to record a tribute song in her honor.

Meek’s lawyers have vowed to exhaust the appeals process to try and win back the rapper’s freedom.

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West has launched his Yeezy Season 6 fashion collection with a little help from his wife Kim Kardashian.

An update published on his Yeezy Supply website shows pictures of Kim modeling items from his range in the brand’s signature array of beige and grey colors.

The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star has recently been spotted out and about wearing the designs, which include sportswear, coats, high-heeled shoes, vest tops, dresses and tracksuit bottoms.

The launch represents a much smaller debut than Yeezy Season 5 or 4.

In February, the hip-hop star presented his fifth collection at New York Fashion Week, while his fourth debuted in September 2016 with a huge outdoor fashion show.

After he was hospitalized with exhaustion in November last year, just days after behaving erratically at a concert in Sacramento, California, Kanye has cut back on making public appearances – and even abandoned his Saint Pablo tour.

Last month he returned to the stage for the first time since his hiatus, joining fellow rapper Kid Cudi at a concert in Chicago, Illinois.

(AllHipHop News) Before K. Michelle was throwing candles on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, the R&B vocalist was learning the music industry under the tutelage of R. Kelly. She has even referred to the veteran performer as her mentor.

K. Michelle is now getting ready to release Kimberly: The People I Used to Know on December 8, so the chart-topper is making a media run. While speaking with Revolt, the Atlantic Records signee was asked about the longstanding allegations of sexual misconduct against Kelly.

“I respect everything that he’s done for me. I would not be the artist I am today. I wouldn’t know how to record. I wouldn’t know the importance of the music, so my loyalty always has a point to lie within it,” said K. Michelle. “But you’ll never hear me tell another woman what she went through. That happened to me.”

The Memphis native later added, “I’m never gonna tell you what you went through at the hands of a man, at the hands of your abuser… I would just ask women [to] stop taking the side of these men cause they ain’t gonna take yours.”

(AllHipHop News) Dreezy is one of the bright young performers currently on the come up. She already made waves with songs such as “Body,” “We Gon Ride,” and “Close To You.”

The Fader caught up with the 23-year-old Chicago native to find out her favorite female rappers. Dreezy listed Nicki Minaj, Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliott, and Eve in her Top 5.

When it came to the #1 spot, the No Hard Feelings creator named Lil Kim. Dreezy explained, “She’s an innovator. She’s the OG of it. I haven’t seen that type of presence from a female rapper go as far back as Kim.”

(AllHipHop News) The tracklist for Eminem’s forthcoming Revival album shocked some people. Mostly due to the fact that the project is filled with non-rap stars like Beyonce, Ed Sheeran, Alicia Keys, Pink, and Skylar Grey.

There will be one Hip Hop guest act on Revival. Brooklyn’s Phresher is set to appear on “Chloraseptic.” The rising spitter sat down with ThisIs50, and he recalled working with his favorite artist.

“I was just hearing a little chatter that Eminem shouted the [“Wait A Minute”] record out. I didn’t see it, so I don’t believe it until [Em’s manager] Paul Rosenberg hits my manager, [and says,] ‘Eminem wants Phresher on a song,’” stated the native New Yorker. He added, “I get in the studio. I do the hook. They say, ‘You gotta verse?’”

According to Phresher, Eminem’s team told him 2 Chainz was on the same track. However, the Atlanta rhymer does not appear on the published tracklist, and Chainz expressed disappointment over being omitted from Revival. He returned to Instagram to post, “Grateful for the opportunity, new music on the way!”

(AllHipHop News) Meek Mill’s legal team is still attempting to get the Philadelphia rapper out of state prison. While he’s still locked up, Meek is apparently staying busy by working multiple jobs.

According to TMZ, the Wins & Losses album creator is part of the general labor crew at Pennsylvania’s Chester State Correctional Institution. Meek is reportedly responsible for cleaning the cell block and prison grounds as well as washing dishes, cooking, and serving meals.

A representative from the prison revealed Meek is making 19 cents per hour. The Dreamchasers leader is also said to be waiting to take therapy courses.

Robert “Meek Mill” Williams was sentenced to 2-4 years for probation violation. Judge Genece Brinkley recently denied his bail request, claiming the entertainer is a “great risk to the safety of others in Philadelphia and throughout the country.”

Meek’s lawyers filed an updated bail motion in Pennsylvania Superior Court. In addition, they have repeatedly accused Brinkley of being biased. There have also been reports the FBI is investigating the judge’s behavior in the case.

(AllHipHop News) On the title track off There’s Alot Going On, Vic Mensa addressed being in the middle of a label bidding war between Kanye West and Jay-Z. The Chicago native ultimately decided to sign with Hov’s Roc Nation, and his choice apparently caused a rift in The Throne.

Jay and Ye would later have a very public spat that played out on concert stages as well as the 4:44 album. During an interview with Montreality, Mensa was asked about the tension between the two Hip Hop giants.

“Nobody likes it. I don’t think they like it. That’s the delicate thing about male ego. All relationships go through that – male, female, ego driven or not,” responded Mensa. “Relationships go through strain and the real relationships live past it, as I believe Kanye and Hov’s relationship one hundred percent has, and will.”

Vic continued, “I’m not speaking from a place of even knowing that much about the situation. I think they’re all good though.”

Jay-Z recently spoke with the New York Times about the status of his relationship with Kanye. The Brooklyn-bred emcee expressed that he believes the longtime collaborators will get past their differences.

“I [talked to] Kanye the other day, just to tell him, like, he’s my brother. I love Kanye. I do. It’s a complicated relationship with us,” said Jay.

Vic Mensa’s discussion with Montreality also included him talking about wanting to play Prince in a biopic. He referred to the late musical icon as “the real King of Pop.”

(AllHipHop News) The money keeps rolling in for Chance the Rapper’s nonprofit, SocialWorks.

The rapper surprised a group of 5th graders at Adam Clayton Powell Jr. in Chicago with a $1,500,000 donation courtesy of Google.org.

Chance popped up during Computer Science Education Week to announce the huge donation.

“Our grant with Google.org helps SocialWorks provide programming that sheds light on another pathway to success for young Chicagoans,” said Justin Cunningham, Executive Director of SocialWorks.

“While every student doesn’t need to become a computer scientist, understanding the basics empowers them to understand the world they live in,” Cunningham added. “The opportunity to help kids code to share their music, artwork, and distinct point of view is at the core of our mission and an experience we look forward to providing in classrooms across the city.”  

According to Google, the grant will help teachers implement computer science and arts curriculum in their classrooms, and it builds on $40 million in Google.org grants that provide opportunities for students underrepresented in computer science to explore the field.

$500,000 of the donation will go to Chicago Public Schools’ CS4All Initiative and the other $1 million to SocialWorks.

“We’re honored to support SocialWorks’ mission to help underrepresented students in Chicago reach their full potential, as well as Chicago Public Schools’ efforts to turn computer science into a pathway for creative expression,” said Justin Steele, Google.org’s Principal. “There’s so much talent and creativity in the communities that these schools serve-and Chance The Rapper embodies what can happen when that creativity is unleashed. With exposure to computer science, students can use technology to turn their creative passions-whether that’s art, writing, music or something else-into something bigger.”
