Men are a perverted lot and New York recognizes this more than anybody. In a new social experiment, a company has rolled out GuyFi, a place where men can m######### during the work day.
Adam Lewis,Hot Octopuss co-founder, says:
“There’s no denying that working a nine to five job can be stressful on both your mind and body, especially in a non-stop city like Manhattan. It’s really important for guys to look after themselves so that they can stay healthy and focus properly on the task in hand. We’re told time and time again how beneficial it is to have a break away from your desk. At Hot Octopuss we are all about looking for new solutions to improve everyday life and we feel we’ve done just that with the new GuyFi booth. We hope the city’s men enjoy using the space we’ve created in whatever way they want. It’s completely free of charge… all that we ask is they thank us when they get their promotion!”
This is a bit crazy, but some of the stats support the need for the GuyFi booth. They say 39% of men choke the chicken during work hours to relief stress. Also, in New York a lot of dude are wacking off in weird places like on the actual streets. Yeah, no…get a GuyFi booth, dude!
The ‘GuyFi’ is located on 28th street and 5th avenue in New York. You get a chair and a laptop to pull up AllHipHop or whatever other site gets you off. This is is wack redefined!

(AllHipHop News) Philly’s own, Gillie Da Kid, continues to share his creativity. Yesterday (Jan. 14), while in his hometown of Philly at Batcave Studio, the gifted MC opened up to HipHopSince1987 and discussed a myriad of topics. Among these topics were the subjects of his debut album, his thoughts on a Major Figgas project, and his reaction to question regarding Soulja Boy.
“I got that Welcome to Gilladelphia out right now,” advised Gillie. He then announced that the Stacy Barthe-assisted “Not Ready To Go” will be the next release from the project. Of course the subject of a possible Major Figgas album came up, to which Gillie offered, “You know, we might start doing some things. We all still deal with each other — f*ck with each other–so, it’s all love.”
As the exchange progressed, the self-professed King of Philly, answered questions about the 2015 boxing match with Soulja Boy that never happened. “We ain’t even gonna talk about Soulja Girl. He didn’t want to sign that paperwork. I was gonna put hands and feet on him,” jabbed Gille. The confident wordsmith soon added, “You know what I mean, beat the gaddam antifreeze out of him. But he didn’t want to put them gloves on. So, we’re gonna leave that alone. I’ll see him when I see him.”
Gillie goes on to announce that new music is on the way. “Welcome to Gilladelphia, Part 2 and King of Philly, Part 4 — I’m dropping mixtapes and I’m dropping albums,” said the outspoken MC. Crediting his “consistent” work-ethic, Gillie promises that musically 2016 will be a good year. He then suggest that KOP 4 may drop in March while the album may come out in July.
Watch the full video as it contains information about his upcoming movie, Blood Brothers, his social media popularizing his catch phrase, “right,” and his new track with Boozie Badazz entitled, “I’m the Man.”
Que just dropped a new visual and the homie is going strong on this one. Its a dark video so you don’t get too many clips of Que, but you can tell the homie has a new hairdo and he’s spitting that realness. Aside from his look, the video has clips of the night life and shows the very dark side of the drug life that people glorify, showing some of the victims of the trap. Pay attention y’all, don’t destroy the community or you will have a “Vampire City.”

Allegedly Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez are done for good after their latest altercation. According to Stevie J and his video evidence, the Puerto Rican princess set it off in their home. Apparently Joseline bleached, cut up, and destroyed $65K worth of Stevie J’s belongings during one of her jealous rants. Stevie said he had just returned to his home from a studio session with Faith Evans. Allegedly, Joseline was jealous of the time Stevie was spending with Faith. In Joseline’s “jealous” rage she also damaged his vintage $10K Bad Boy Jacket. Although, like most reality couples, Stevie J & Joseline have proven to be a pretty dysfunctional couple, we hear that this is all a big publicity stunt for their new VH1 show, ‘Stevie J & Joseline Go Hollywood’.

Songwriter, artist, model – James Worthy wears many hats. But the Atlanta-based entertainment insider has begun to gain notable attention as a producer for acts such as Truth Hurts, Yung Berg, Arrested Development, Dave Tolliver, and Sara Stokes of MTV’s Making The Band.
To be clear, Worthy doesn’t refer to himself as a “beatmaker.” He’s a traditional producer and self-taught instrumentalist. The Queens, New York native completely immerses himself in the full creation of the music, and his tracks provide a throwback feel to classic Soul/R&B while bringing in a touch of modern Hip Hop.
AllHipHop.com recently interviewed James Worthy to discuss his buzzing career. The DreammusikGroup CEO talked about his production influences, his affiliation with Jay Z’s Roc Nation, appearing on the Centric reality series From The Bottom Up, and more.
How did you get involved in making music?
I’m originally from New York. That gave me a lot of inspiration growing up with different genres of music. I was a big fan of A Tribe Called Quest, and my favorite producer was Q-Tip. My favorite R&B group was Dru Hill.
I started researching, honing in on the craft, and checking out different producers. I learned about instrumentation. I was fascinated with the production aspect, and I started making my own tracks.
Were there any other producers that you studied?
Besides Q-Tip, I studied Timbaland, Organized Noise, and Pharrell. It really came down to anybody that was innovative at the time.
Do you typically work in the studio with the artists or do you send tracks to them?
It depends. Sometimes you’ll have a label who wants you to do a record with someone, and sometimes you can’t sit in the studio with that person. I do make it an effort to be in the studio with the artist, because it’s more of an organic feel.
You want to have that vibe and make sure everybody’s on the same page. Sending stuff back-and-forth through email, something could be left out that could be very important to the song. So it depends on what the situation is.
You mentioned labels. Can you talk about your affiliation with Roc Nation?
Shout out to Roc Nation. I’m not signed to Roc Nation. My cousin is an A&R for Roc Nation, so we do a lot of work with them. I do songwriting with Roc Nation, and we’re getting more into the production phase over there as well.
You’ve embraced working with artists of different eras. Do you change your style when you’re working with a more established artist like B Angie B and Robin S?
I like to work with artists from the 90’s or even before that who really had their time, but they were kind of left out of the transition of the industry. These are artists that have made their mark in the industry, so why not give them another hit record? If you’re doing that, then everyone’s going to come to you for that sound.
I also work with a lot of mainstream, modern artists. I’ve worked with Future, Young Thug, and Tip [T.I.]. I just did a record with Bone Crusher. I’m hands on with the new generation as well. My focus is to bring back good music.
You’ve worked closely with Sara Stokes of Making The Band. How did you connect?
I’m Sara’s producer. I do all of her new music right now. We’ve known each other for a while. We met and hit it off. Our chemistry is dope, and she has a great personality. I love her energy. Once we got in the studio, we never stopped making music.
Now we’re working on her new album. She’ll be on the new reality show From The Bottom Up. It’s a lot going on.
The show focuses on artists that are trying to rebuild there lives and careers after going through some tough times. With you working so closely with Sara, did you get any insight about ways to avoid some of the pitfalls that come with being part of the entertainment industry?
She’s been through a lot. I’ve been through a lot. Her thing is just to keep positive energy and positive people around her. I do the same thing.
She’s turning over a new leaf, so she’s letting everyone know what’s going on. Everybody saw the TMZ stuff, the bad stuff the media wants to put out.
She’s embracing that, because it’s all about growing, letting people know your story, and overcoming that adversity. When you see this new show, you’ll see she’s letting it all out for the world to see.
We’re letting everybody know that you can overcome anything. The success we’re having with our single, the success she’s having with this show, and future successes we’re going to have – that’s all God.
I read that you’re making a cameo on the show.
Yes, I’ll be in an episode with Sara. You’ll see us in the studio working on our single “Sneak Peak.” It’s a good platform for both of us.
Do you have any interest in doing your own reality show?
I’m not opposed to it. I’ve done other TV work before. I always say if it makes sense, then I’m definitely interested. Everything right now has to coincide with the brand.
You also worked with Bobby Brown Jr. Or is he going by…
King Jayare? I don’t really know what he’s going by now. But I’ve been working with Bobby Jr. for years. We’ve done a lot of music together. I’ve done records with him and his father. He’s a good kid.
I found it interesting he veered more toward rap as opposed to R&B, especially with his dad being the self-described “King of R&B.”
He does a lot of R&B as well. He raps, sings, and dances. He’s an entertainer just like his pops.
You’re from New York, and you work in Atlanta. There’s been a conversation over the last week about the state of southern Hip Hop. There’s some people that say rap music in the south – as far as its dominance – is on the decline. Do you feel like there’s a very distinct difference between what’s happening in Atlanta and other regions?
In the industry period, there’s a lot of creativity, but the actual substance or content in the music is lacking. A lot of times, you don’t really know what’s a “hit record” right now. It’s 50-50.
In the south region, I think a lot of the rap music – which could be considered Trap music – is going to fade out. It’s the same stuff being recreated over and over. I think people are kind of getting over it.
I think it’s time for good music to come back which is why you’re seeing a lot more R&B and older heads from back in the day coming out. Even rap music – I think more quality rap music is going to come back.
As a producer, I know you keep your ear to the street about the music scene. Are there any up-and-coming artists that have caught your attention?
There’s a ton of them. There’s an African pop star I’m working with right now. Her name is Zaena Morisho. She’s very huge in Africa and overseas. She’s gaining a fan base in the States right now.
She has a lot of other artists around her that are doing very well like Rey Fonder. He’s a phenomenal indie artist. I also like female rapper Marlé Blu out of Atlanta. There’s so many of them.
What can listeners expect from you this year?
You can expect so many things – singles, TV appearances, films, albums, modeling. I have a couple of singles coming out. Zaena Morisho’s “One Thing” is out now. I have a brand new single with B Ange B entitled “Shake.” That’ll be out on the 29th. I have a new single with Bone Crusher featuring Dave Tolliver of Men At Large. There’s so many different things.

Some members of Rihanna’s Navy are pretty upset that Rihanna’s ‘ANTI’ album still has not been released. They even went as far as launching a petition via iPetitions.com to have Rihanna release her album sooner rather later. The petition comes almost a year to the date of Ri releasing “Four, Five Seconds” with Kanye West and Paul McCartney. The petition goal is only 1,000 signatures. It’s going to take way more than that to have any affect. It looks like the Navy is just going to have to wait, and the album will come out when it’s supposed to come out. The ANTI World Tour kicks off soon, so the album will most likely be released prior to the tour kicking off. Are you anticipating the album? Rihanna was one of the most streamed artists in 2015, so someone is ready for this album!

(AllHipHop News) A$AP Rocky stopped by Hot 97 to promote the upcoming “Yams Day” concert at Terminal 5 in New York City on January 18. The interview also included the “L$D” rapper discussing his impact on Houston’s Travis Scott. Rocky was specifically asked about A$AP Nast claiming Scott was “stealing” A$AP Mob’s style.
“If you’re going to do something and influence people, you can’t be arrogant when someone gets inspired. When people get inspired, you can’t fault them for that. That makes you look crazy,” said Rocky. “They do say imitation is the best form of flattery.”
He added, “That man is doing his thing. He’s doing what he’s supposed to do. He’s getting fly. He’s f*cking b*tches. He’s making music. I don’t see the problem.”
In addition, the conversation with Ebro In The Morning featured Rocky speaking on the upcoming A$AP Yams inspired Cozy Tapes. The Harlem native revealed fans can expect to hear a lot of New York City based acts on the project such as Action Bronson, Pro Era, Flatbush Zombies, and Tanboys.
“[Cozy Tapes is] the Yams album he was working on before he passed. It’s basically like an A$AP collective like your Ruff Ryders’ Ryde or Die Vol. 1 or [The Diplomats’] Diplomatic Immunity,” explained Rocky. “[Yams] wrote down in his notes, and he would tell me who he wanted on there. We were about to start working on it.”
“Yams Day” will stream live via Yahoo.
