For their latest episode of “Welcome To My Neighborhood,” Civil TV headed to Sacramento, CA to hang out with the City’s buzzing rapper Mozzy. From rags to riches, Mozzy showed the crew, the “slimey” way of living in Sac town. They traveled to his old neighborhood to reminiscence on his childhood memories, including his Grandmother’s house where he spent most his days, ate at one of his favorite restaurants in Oak Park, watched him work in a studio session, and much more.
Detroit-native but currently residing in L.A. – Billionaire B – is back with a new video, bringing his “Free Smoke” freestyle to life on the small screen. The track is a follow up to his previous release and freestyle, “Blow,” with both being set to appear on his upcoming project “Billionaire.” Following the mixtape, he also plans to release his album “Yaletown” soon after.
With his single “Livin” garnering much success and buzz, Lost God decides to let loose a behind the scenes video of the making of the record with legendary producer Zaytoven, who’s handled it’s production. “Livin” also featured heavy-hitters Quavo, Skippa Da Flipp and Mo Bucks.
(AllHipHop Rumors) A large amount of the conspiracy theorists are annoying, wrong, and reaching usually.
It’s so draining seeing some of them on the timeline day-to-day. LOL.
Anyway, there are some folks who think that it’s ironic that Mobb Deep’sProdigy died during the same time frame of the release of Tupac’s biopic.
There has been a post floating round from a page called I Love Hip-Hop.
“#Tupac dissed #Prodigy in “Hit Em Up’ and made fun of his sickle cell. Prodigy dies from Sickle Cell complications during THE SAME WEEK the Tupac movie comes out. He also dies in the SAME CITY that Tupac was murdered in. Coincidence or no?” posted the page.
Hmmmmm do those details make it seem eerie, or is it a case of theorists doing the most and reaching again? What are your thoughts?

(AllHipHop Rumors) While a significant amount of people think Gilbert Arenas is petty and ignorant on social media, he made people chuckle for sure with this one.
For the ’99 & the 2000 man! Gilbert is always living up to his Instagram handle, and he’s back at it again with the lack of chill.
The former NBA star turned his reaction to Juvenile being arrested for over $150,000 in child support into a remix of the rapper’s#### “Ha”.
“You gotta go too court (HA) you got served with a subpoena for child support (HA) that was they nerve (HA) you ain’t even get a chance to say a word (HA)….I know you just ain’t gonna let THE COURTS come and punk (HA) stunt and front ya (HA) str8 up run you (HA) ????? @juviethegreat that ho don’t know when to shut up her mouth (HA) YOU GONNA KNOCK THAT HO TEETH OUT (HA) ?????? child support taking over FROM the 99 into the 2000’s,” posted Arenas.
I can’t lie it was hilarious but someone needs to take his phone. At times I think his antics are worse than 50 Cent’s! Isn’t it ironic that Juve referenced child support in the song?!

(AllHipHop Rumors) Welllll it looks like Nicki Minaj feels like she has some competition this year, or she just wants to continue to be petty towards Remy Ma.
Nicki has won the Best Female Hip Hop awards for the last 5-6 years, and rightfully so. I mean it’s crazy that the girl literally had no competition. Man I miss when females had a heavy presence in Hip Hop.
Anyway, word on the curb is that Nicki’s team is trying to “rig” the BET Awards so that she wins the ‘Best Female Hip Hop Artist’ award.
By rig, I guess they mean make sure she wins again. The other nominees are Remy Ma, Young M.A., Cardi B, and Missy Elliott.
I can’t see BET agreeing to this, and they have a true voting system in place anyway. I also couldn’t see them agreeing to this because Nicki has been very shady towards the award show.
She took to Instagram to announce that the only awards show she would be attending this month would be the NBA Awards, which she happens to be performing at.
“My darlings, this is the ONLY award show I’ll be attending this month. Set your DVR’s. You won’t want to miss this PERFORMANCE ? #NBAAwards hosted by @champagnepapi ? NEW YORK!!!!! ??,” said Nicki.
That’s ALL SHADE because everyone knows that the BET Awards is this month also.
Welp, who do you think deserves to win the category this year? Should Nicki win again?

(AllHipHop Rumors) Yo I’d totally be here for this.
Everyone knows how incredibly talented Scott Storch is, and Drake is one of the hottest rappers of today, so it makes perfect sense why they may be working on a new collaboration soon.
Scott took to his Instagram Live to share him in the art of production earlier this week, and whomever was filming him said that they were going to put it out into the atmosphere that a certain beat/track would go to Drake.
Storch has also praised Drake in the past as he considered Drizzy to be one of the most talented people right now in modern music.
Storch also posted a clip of a new track, and captioned it with,
“Do I hear a smash ?. Who is this one going to ?? The magical fingers are at work ?”
Many people jumped in the comments guessing Drake. Are you here a new Storch and Drizzy collab?
(AllHipHop News) Vince Staples has spent the last few weeks promoting his new Big Fish Theory album that dropped today (June 23), but the Long Beach emcee also found time to shoot an ad for Sprite.
The commercial features Vince handing out soda to a group of “random teenagers.”
“Cold lyrics by hot rappers here with a cool, crisp, refreshing lemon-line summer Sprite,” he tells three teens approaching his green-and-yellow colored carnival booth.
Vince is among the six rap stars tapped for the 2017 “Cold Lyrics Series” campaign.
From June 26 through August 28, fans will have the chance to win special prizes by purchasing the limited edition items.
“Sprite was one of the first brands ever to recognize the power of Hip Hop more than 30 years ago. It has always celebrated authenticity and collaborated with a variety of emerging, established and legendary artists,” said Bobby Oliver, director, Sprite & Citrus Brands, Coca-Cola North America.
Oliver added, “This year, the ‘Summer Sprite Cold Lyrics Series’ is a new way for us to shine the spotlight on cool, crisp, refreshing, lemon-lime Sprite and these six incredibly talented artists who are making their own mark and represent the next generation of Hip Hop stars.”
Other Hip Hop acts such as Kurtis Blow, A Tribe Called Quest, KRS-One, Roxanne Shante, Heavy D, Kid ‘n Play, Common, Fat Joe, Redman, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, Grand Puba, Lady of Rage, The Lost Boyz, Kriss Kross, and Grandmaster Flash have been connected to the brand as well.
A promotional video for the album featured women wearing “E.B.B.T.G.” ski masks attacking other women.
CoverGirl took issue with their cosmetic brand’s “easy, breezy, beautiful” tagline being associated with violent imagery.
Billboard published the company’s response to Thug’s trailer.
“CoverGirl was not contacted by Young Thug or any parties regarding his original album title,” read the statement. “The album is not aligned with our values at CoverGirl. Violence and abuse are unacceptable behaviors. We do not support the use or association of our iconic slogan, ‘Easy, Breezy, Beautiful, CoverGirl ‘ with Young Thug’s video, album or promotional materials.”
The Atlanta rhymer’s new body of work was released on June 16 under the name Beautiful Thugger Girls.
It featured Future, Snoop Dogg, Lil Durk, Jacquees, Gunna, and Millie Go Lightly.
(AllHipHop News) The 2018 class for the Hollywood Walk of Fame was announced on Thursday.

(AllHipHop News) Chance The Rapper is offering a mea culpa to Dr. Dre.
The Chicago wordsmith posted several tweets explaining why he was wrong for dissing the legendary producer’s Aftermath Entertainment.
Chance wrote on the social media platform:
I want to formally apologize to Dr Dre, and all of Aftermath for publicly disrespecting their hard work and contributions to music. When I went on the Be Encouraged tour I made LED content to satirize and degrade major labels. I made the mistake of including Imprints which not only dulled my overall point of trying to uplift artist… But also singled out artist-owned ventures that have only worked to progress the culture. Dre is a premier example of creating space for wealth and ownership in an industry designed for creatives to be the foot soldiers. His work with Beats, Compton Schools and artist like Kendrick, Game, Eminem, .Paak, 50 NWA and others is unmatched and how i inspire to be. I set out to empower and I completely missed the ball and I know that now, once again Sorry to Dre, all the artists/producers at Aftermath and all the other folk trying to make a difference in music that I belittled.
While performing “No Problems” during his “Be Encouraged Tour,” Chance displayed altered logos representing record companies.
Aftermath (Can’t Do Math), Sony (Phony), Epic (Eclick), Motown (No Crown), Atlantic (A Titanic), Def Jam (Don’t Join Recordings), Virgin (Villains), and Universal (Undiverse) were all targets.
“No Problems” – which features Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz – includes the lyrics, “If one more label try to stop me, it’s gonna be some dread-head n-ggas in your lobby.”
Throughout his career, Chance has been an outspoken critic of the major label system.
“I don’t agree with the way labels are set up. I don’t agree that anybody should sign 360 deals or sign away their publishing or take most of the infrastructure that’s included in a formal deal,” the independent artist expressed to Apple Music Beats 1’s Zane Lowe in 2016. “But I’ve learned to not be like, ‘f-ck this company, f-ck this company.’ Even though a lot of those people tried to make it really hard for me to release my projects.”
Chance The Rapper managed to reach a mass audience in part by partnering directly with Apple Music to exclusively premiere his Coloring Book mixtape.
Nicki has now used two more guest features to take aim at Remy.
DJ Khaled recruited the Queens native for “Nobody” with Alicia Keys and “I Can’t Even Lie” with Future for the Grateful album.
On “Nobody,” Minaj raps:
You know the liar will accuse you. You know the queen still reign, it’s just business as usual. Anything I touch, I bless it. Track record so impressive. Open the Billboard Awards with a hit record. The devil thought he had me. But I rebuked him, got money and I’m still a baddie.
Keep your man off my Instagram, b-tch. Ninety-nine problems but ain’t one of them b-tch.
The line is referring to reports that Remy Ma’s husband Papoose liked a comment under one of Minaj’s Instagram photos.
Back in May, Remy declared her beef with Nicki was over, but the Bronx emcee continued to throw fuel on the fire.
“Some people don’t get that the dust has settled, but I can understand. It’s kind of hard to see the dust is settling when you’re in the grave under the dirt,” Remy stated while on The Real.
Remy Ma’s set also featured her bringing out Lil Kim, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Rah Digga, The Lady Of Rage, Monie Love, Young M.A, and Cardi B.
The “Lean Back” rhymer referred to the move as a sign of unity among women in Hip Hop, but some observers took the action as another subliminal dig at Nicki.
“Being a queen is not just [saying,] ‘I sold the most records’ or ‘I have the most followers on Instagram.’ It’s about embracing other queens that came before you, embracing the ones there with you now, and embracing the ones that are coming after you,” said Remy backstage at the concert.
Headlines out of Hot 107.9’s recent Birthday Bash in Atlanta were about Nicki Minaj and Remy Ma once again blasting each other.
(AllHipHop News) Is Big Sean continuing his subliminal lyrical war with Kendrick Lamar?
It seems like the G.O.O.D. Music representative has a few words for K. Dot on DJ Khaled’s “On Everything” off the Grateful album.
“Hungry for the competition, b-tch get on my plate,” raps Sean.
The I Decided LP creator also spits, “‘S’ on my chest boy, so shots can’t even pinch me, n-gga. No substitute for me, but they gonna still tempt me, n-gga. God is in me, that’s the only one who can end me, n-gga.”
Sean later adds a JAY-Z/Nas battle reference, “Roc-A-Fella chain, but you can still get Ethered.”
The issues between Kendrick and Sean apparently began with “Control (HOF)” in 2013.
(AllHipHop News) Rap legends Eric B & Rakim stopped by Ebro in the Morning today (June 22), to confirm a highly anticipated reunion show.
The duo will reunite for 30th anniversary celebration of their classic album Paid In Full, this July,
According to Eric B, the group has reunion show lined up at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, slated for 7/7/2017, to mark the day Paid In Full was released in 1987.
“It’s going to be a celebration for Hip-Hop and we want everyone to come out,” said Eric B of the show.
In addition to celebrating the legendary album, both Eric B & Rakim confirmed the show will feature another a number of special guests too.
“As cocky as the rhymes sound, I had no idea it would have an impact like this man, so it’s a blessing to not only be a part of this game and this legendary status, but being able to be here 30 years later and have a show and everybody come out and enjoy themselves, I would’ve never expected that,” Rakim added.
(AllHipHop News) Wyclef Jean has announced the third installment of his critically acclaimed debut album The Carnival.
Carnival III: The Fall and Rise of a Refugee, will be Wyclef’s first full-length album in over eight years.
“My Carnival albums have always been about celebrating music culture from all parts of the world and Carnival III is no different,” Wyclef said of the new album. “It’s outside the box. There’s genre-bending. There’s new talent on there.”
The new album will be released in September, and will drop in time for the 20 anniversary of Wyclef’s original release.
“Carnival III is more than just an album. It’s a celebration of what I love about music: discovery, diversity and artistry for art’s sake,” Clef continued. “It’s about putting music together that will outlive me and live on for generations to come that is full of emotion, vibration and fun. Get ready.”
Wyclef’s album Carnival III: The Fall and Rise of a Refugee will land in stores on September 15.
(AllHipHop News) Digital Underground rapper Shock G was reportedly arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia in Wisconsin last week.
The rapper, real name Gregory Jacobs, was taken into custody in Rice Lake, where police officers pulled him over and discovered he was driving a vehicle registered to an unlicensed driver.
It is unclear how officers came across the drug paraphernalia, but he was subsequently detained and posted $100 bail, according to TMZ.
The case has since been forwarded to the Barron County District Attorney’s Office.
(AllHipHop News) DJ Khaled no longer blames Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) organizers for the sound failures that marred his set at the festival.
Following his appearance at the event, Khaled accused the organizers of sabotaging his set at the weekend.
The “I’m the One” hitmaker was scheduled to play an hour-long set at the Las Vegas festival but his performance was cut short after being blighted with technical difficulties and sound issues and saw him booed offstage.
In an interview with Los Angeles radio station Power 106, the 41-year-old explained that after arriving over an hour early for his midnight slot on Sunday, when he got backstage to prepare to perform, he discovered they weren’t allowing performers to soundcheck and that they didn’t have his equipment.
“When I got backstage to the part where it’s time to perform, they didn’t have my turntables,” he explained. “How am I supposed to DJ without my turntables?”
After finding the turntables they then had trouble getting them to work.
The issues meant that Khaled was given a reduced time to perform, of just 10-15 minutes, but even when he arrived on stage the sound was still failing.
“Another artist would have been like, ‘Yo, I’m not performing,’ because it’s not right. And to be honest with you, I shoulda did that and put a message out to the fans saying it’s out of my control,” he continued. “But instead, I heard the fans chanting my name, showing me love. I was like, cool, I’mma go out…”
A statement sent to Billboard from Insomniac, EDC’s promoter, blamed the disastrous appearance on “technical difficulties”.
Despite his Instagram outburst, the “Wild Thoughts” star now says he no longer blames the organizers.
“Stuff happens. Was I frustrated about it not sounding good? Of course I was, but at the end of the day, life goes on,” he shrugged.
(AllHipHop Rumors) Here we go again! It’s another day of someone seemingly trying to rip off the culture.
Well Balenciaga is under fire again! The high-end brand obviously didn’t learn their lesson last April when they were put on blast for ripping off IKEA’s classic $0.99 shopping tote bag and selling it for a whopping $2,145.
They obviously didn’t see the backlash that Gucci also received for ripping off a classic Dapper Dan design.
During Paris fashion week, Balenciaga showcased their spring 2018 menswear collection.
It was all good until the collection featured a long-sleeve button-up shirt that had a similar logo print all over it.
Balenciaga’s print featured the letter “B” that’s designed JUST LIKE the Ruff Ryder logo. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Swizz Beatz took to Instagram to point out the rip off with a comment that said,
“Balenciaga we must have a talk about this Ruff Ryder shirt ASAP. Dapper Dan with Gucci now this.”
“This is the Ruff Ryders original version from 2000??????? @balenciaga @vetements_official ?? what are we doing??? Call me back blessings . I Might just want you to open up a fashion school in the bronx or harlem ?Just so you can give back to the culture !???????????? thoughts ????,” posted Swizz.
What are your thoughts? I mean a blind man could see…… I have to say I died when someone said it’s not like they are using it. That’s not very nice, and they are now that they are going on the reunion tour! Carry on.
