“This one is Meek going back to the streets and giving you so much substance. I think this is his best body of work,” says Jahlil. “I don’t know if it’s going to stick, but we got ‘Tony Story 3’ which is ridiculous. We got some club records.”

The producer of songs such as “Ima Boss” and “Amen” adds, “[Meek] has grown. He’s been through some stuff last year and this year. He has a lot to talk about, so he’s definitely going to answer those questions.”

There have been rumors circulating online that Dreamchasers 4 could be arriving in the very near future. But according to Jahlil, Meek is still putting the finishing touches on the tape.

“I don’t know when it’s coming. I just know we’re finishing it up. That’s all I can really tell you. I’d say we’re like 88% done,” Jahlil states.

Besides working with Meek on DC4, Jahlil has created tracks for several other artists. Upcoming projects from Beanie Sigel, Royce da 5’9”, Fabolous, Dave East, Zoey Dollaz, CRMC, Bok Nero, and even NBA star Damian Lillard could include the “Jahlil Beats holla at me” producer tag.

In addition, Jahlil discusses some of his recent work, his new Tandem Music Group business, the new Philly sound, and more.

(AllHipHop News) Harlem emcee Den10 is back with a new track featuring an assist from Bodega Bamz. The single “Pain” will appear on Den’s forthcoming self-titled EP scheduled to be released later this year.

The self-proclaimed rap historian continues, “One night we were all in the studio getting off verses, and I told Bamz to hop on the song.

The record came out amazing.”

[ALSO READ: Cam’ron, Smoke Dza And G Herbo Headline Smokers Club 2016 Summer Tour]

The sequel to 2010’s George Kush Da Button was inspired by the rise of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

“We were all sitting around and talking bout how much we didn’t f-ck with Trump,” explains DZA. “One of the homies said, ‘I would never pass Trump the blunt,’ as he was passing me the blunt. I laughed about that sh-t. We all did, and basically birthed the Don’t Pass Trump The Blunt campaign right there.”

The Kushed God may not be in support of the brash businessman, but DZA does have a favored candidate in the race.

“I’m not a Trump fan at all based on the number of comments he’s made that I just don’t support. I’m actually rooting for Bernie because I think he’s the right man for the job,” says the Harlem emcee.

George Kush Da Button: Don’t Pass Trump The Blunt features appearances by A$AP Rocky, Joey Bada$$, Action Bronson, and more. The project is available for download at LiveMixtapes.

Gun Found In Troy Ave’s Vehicle; Police Searching For Additional Shooter

(AllHipHop News) More details are starting to emerge in the Troy Ave case.

According to the New York Daily News, a Kel Tech .9-mm pistol was found inside a hidden compartment of a minivan owned by Troy.

[ALSO READ: Meek Mill Defends Troy Ave After Arrest For NYC Shooting]

Police believe the gun was used in the shooting that took place at Irving Plaza on May 25.

The violent incident at the T.I. headlining concert left Troy injured after being shot in the leg, two other people wounded, and the Brooklyn rapper’s friend/bodyguard Ronald “Banga” McPhatter dead.

However, Pix 11 reports investigators now believe Troy did not shoot himself or McPhatter. A second shooter is being sought by law enforcement.

Apparently, an unnamed person approached Troy Ave and another individual at the show. They then began fighting before the man allegedly shot both Troy and McPhatter.

That suspected scenario does fit the explanation provided by Troy’s attorney Scott Leemon who has insisted his client was a victim in the situation.

Troy Ave has been the only person arrested in the case so far. He was arraigned on charges of attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon. The BSB Records leader is being held without bail.
