Orange Factory Music may have set a precedent. The production company worked diligently to craft several Jay Sean records has won a lawsuit against the N.O. entrepreneur. Backed by a team of legal experts they were victorious in their pursuit in obtaining $1.1 M from CMR, this according to TMZ.

The presiding judge also imposed an expeditious time requirement for Baby to pay up. The businessman may even release Weezy’s Tha Carter V. He only has three weeks to make the full payment.

Were the Jay Sean’s tracks like “Lights Off,” Down,” “Do You Remember,” and “Fire” that were produced by OFM worth a million bucks?

Murda Mook & Dutch Brown Discuss Drake’s “Summer Sixteen” vs Meek Mill’s “War Pain” (VIDEO)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: NewsFebruary 23, 2016

(AllHipHop News) Murda Mook is considered by many battle rap followers as one of the most legendary figures of the competitive culture, so he is definitely an expert when it comes to jousting with words. The Harlem emcee and fellow Dot Mob representative Dutch Brown sat down with AllHipHop.com to give their take on the recent lyrical back-and-forth between Drake and Meek Mill.

[ALSO READ: Members Of The Battle Rap Community Share Their Thoughts On “Meek Mill Vs Drake”]

The Hip Hop world was hit with another round in the Drake vs Meek conflict on January 30. Drizzy returned with his latest single “Summer Sixteen” which included a few shots directed at his MMG rival. However, Meek was able to fire back with a response just minutes later by releasing his 4/4 Part 2 track “War Pain.”

While Mook believes Meek will have a difficult time convincing the general public to back him in the feud, the former Ruff Ryders affiliate still questions Drake’s pen game.

“I still don’t know if [Drake] wrote this sh*t,” says Mook. “My thing is this bro. I’m a rapper. I come from real life rap. You’re not about to let n*ggas write your raps, and just be thinking you can go and say, ‘I’m the nicest rap n*gga.'”

He adds, “I don’t know if he did [have a ghostwriter], but it was just a lot of indication that that happened. I can’t give n*ggas props for saying some sh*t if you didn’t write it.”

Mook and Drake have their own personal history as potential competitors. The two rhymers reportedly came close to battling at King Of The Dot’s “Blackout 5” a year ago. They met face-to-face again at URL’s “Nome 5” last May.

This all came after Mook claimed Drake challenged him to a lyrical contest. Since that time, Mook has called out the OVO founder at the BET Hip-Hop Awards, on a “6 God” remix, and during a freestyle on Hot 97.

Dot Mob’s F*ck The Politics mixtape hosted by DJ Whoo Kid is scheduled for release on February 24.

So, we’re going to come back and get it worked out.” Welding his positive perspective Game then added, “Hopefully, everything with my case goes well and we’re able to get back in September.” Game then apologized to his supporters.

The Game And Young Thug: Leave The Kids Outta It!

By: YourfavenightmareCategory: RumorsFebruary 23, 2016

The Game and Young Thug continue to go at each other. I don’t know why. It just seems pointless. At some point, somebody write a bar or throw a punch. You don’t quite know if they will when you start bringing kids into the beef. Both of these men have kids and Thuggy started it when he posted a creepy pic of Game’s daughter suggesting he wishes it was his. But..he has a daughter….

ANYWAY. The Game semi-clapped back with his own post. Subtle but cruel, if you ask me. I guess cruel like Chinese water torture. Nevertheless, leave the kids out of your BS, fellas! They just want to be kids.

EXCLUSIVE: Fred The Godson Discusses His ‘Contraband 2’ Project Produced Entirely By The Heatmakerz

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: FeaturesFebruary 23, 2016

(AllHipHop News) Hailing from the Hip Hop Mecca of The South Bronx comes street rhymer Fred The Godson. The New York City emcee is back with his latest project titled Contraband 2: God Help Us All, the sequel to 2013’s Contraband mixtape.

[ALSO READ: Jack Thriller’s 16OrBetter – Cypher EP 70 | Fred The Godson x Goodz x Cristion D’or x Rain]

“Contraband is a different space for me. It’s streets, it’s hard beats, it’s gutter, something of a comfort zone,” says Fred.

The 19-track album was produced entirely by The Heatmakerz (Dipset, Lil Wayne). Contraband 2 includes contributions from top-notch rap representatives Joell Ortiz, Jim Jones, Vado, Maino, Kevin Gates, Cory Gunz, and more.

Fred recently dropped a video for the Cocoa Sarai assisted cut “Black Power.” The song touches on the history of racial injustice in America as well as the modern-day struggle to combat police brutality.

In addition, the 2011 XXL Freshman uses Contraband 2 to address the effects of the drug game on his community as well as the importance of spirituality. Those two themes are also expressed in the controversial cover art for the LP.

“The reason for the cover is because Jesus died for our sins but the world is backwards,” explains Fred. “We are ruled by money and drugs. When you look at the rosary on the track list… it’s right side up.”

Wayno of The Heatmakerz adds, “[The cover] is controversial to some, but it has a meaning.It represents what people put above their core values. Not some illuminati foolishness. People put drugs, money, and other vices above the things that are important in life. Money is the enabler and the vessel and as the cliché goes – the root of all evil. That is the message we hoped to convey.”

A Kendrick Lamar Insider Reveals Hidden Messages In His 2016 Grammy Performance

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: NewsFebruary 23, 2016

(AllHipHop News) Kendrick Lamar further stamped his name as one of the leading voices in Hip Hop with his show-stealing performance at this year’s Grammy awards. The Top Dawg Entertainment emcee’s presentation was an artistic statement about prison reform, police brutality, and black pride. But was there more secret gems to the “Alright” rhymer’s set?

[ALSO READ: Celebrities React To Kendrick Lamar’s Performance At The 2016 Grammys]

Billboard spoke with Kendrick’s friend and stylist Dianne Garcia about the Grammy night performance. The Los Angeles native addressed how involved K. Dot was in the creative process.

“He was involved in the sense that he knew exactly what he wanted. He showed me a photo of the prisoners and was like ‘This is my inspiration’. There were these guys walking in a chain gang and he said ‘I want them to look like this,'” said Garcia. “And I knew that he wanted the African guys to glow in the dark because they were going to go into a sequence where everything was going to be dark and they were going be lit with UV lights.”

The African themed portion of the performance featuring body paint was inspired by Maasai warriors. The Nilotic ethnic group inhabits Kenya and Tanzania. Another African culture served as a reference for the female dancers as well.

“You can’t really see it onstage but the girls, the dancers, they have red paint painted all over their body and that’s inspired specifically by the Himba tribe in Northern Namibia. They wear this red paint that’s supposed to represent the color of the earth and the blood,” explained Garcia. “And we picked the Himba tribe basically because [they are] really strong women who do all the labor work while taking care of their own homes and all this stuff while the men are out herding cattle and doing politics.”

As for the prisoner part of the set, Lamar and Garcia embedded layers of symbolism into the outfits worn by the dancers. TDE was written on the back of each performer in reflective 3M Paint. In addition, the inmates’ prison numbers represented Nat Turner’s famous slave revolt which took place August 21-23, 1831 in Southampton County, Virginia.

Greg Kading Speaks On His ‘Murder Rap’ Documentary About The Murders Of 2Pac & The Notorious B.I.G. (VIDEO)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: NewsFebruary 23, 2016

(AllHipHop News) Former LAPD detective Greg Kading is at the center of a media firestorm, because a recent documentary based on his book Murder Rap alleges Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs was involved in the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur. The film claims Puffy paid a Crip gang member named Duane Keith “Keffe D” Davis $1 million to kill 2Pac and Death Row head Suge Knight.

[ALSO READ: 50 Cent Co-Signs Allegations Puff Daddy Had 2Pac Killed (VIDEO)]

Kading also investigated the 1997 killing of Bad Boy recording artist Christopher “The Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace. The former LAPD detective spoke to Hot 97 about his Murder Rap doc which presents information about the deaths of the two Hip Hop icons.

“This film is different because we’re not proposing a theory. Everything that precedes this was theoretical, was speculation, what could have happened. We’re not coming at it from that approach. We’re telling you definitively this is what took place with these murders,” explains Kading. “All of the empirical evidence, all of the facts lead you to draw this one and only conclusion. We’re not competing against theories. We’re claiming to know the truth.”

In addition, Kading stated the reason a prosecution has not been brought against Puffy is because many of the people involved in the murder conspiracies have been killed, including the respective two alleged shooters of Pac and Big. Kading believes there will never be anyone convicted of either crime.

Another former LAPD officer backed up Kading’s assertions that the deaths of Pac and Biggie were the result of a gang war involving rival labels Death Row (owned by Knight) and Bad Boy (owned by Combs). Reggie Wright – who was also a bodyguard for 2Pac – told AllHipHop.com in 2014, “Almost everything that pretty much came out in the investigation and the book Murder Rap by Greg Kading I believe is 98-99% accurate.”
