Swizz Beatz will host a three-day concert and art series in Miami during Art Basel Miami Beach in December to give upcoming musicians and artists a chance to showcase their work, Billboard reports. There will also be performances by his wife Alicia Keys, DMX, Wiz Khalifa, Pusha T and more.

The three-day event, Casa Bacardi at Wynwood, will run from Dec. 3-5 and be curated by The Dean Collection. One of the events will the No Commission Art Fair, where artists will display their work for free and take home all the proceeds from the art fair. There will also be a concert each night, the Bacardi Untameable House Party. The art fair is free and will be open to the public and the concert series is free with a RSVP.

“It’s by the artist, for the artist, with the people,” Swizzy told Billboard. “And I think a lot of people forgot the message of why they’re even going down to Basel. You’re going down to Basel because there are amazing, creative artists who took a lot of time out of their lives to put together some masterpieces and hope for entry in a great collection or for somebody to be inspired. And not taking anything away from Basel or from the galleries, but I just chose to do something different. And I think the world needs more powerful collaborations that are willing to push the envelope and not really follow the necessary rules that are laid out.”

Lil’ Scrappy has been hit with a lawsuit for not paying his rent, Bossip reports.

Randy Williams of the Williams Property Group filed the lawsuit against the Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta star, who reportedly owes $4,022 in back rent, utility bills, court costs. His monthly rent for his five bedroom Georgia home is $3,000. If the ATL rapper doesn’t pay up, he faces being evicted.

Williams claims that the matter is close to being settled by the court. Scrappy has not commented on the matter.

Williams also filed a lawsuit against Scrap back in January, which was also over unpaid rent. Scrappy also had a home foreclosed in 2010 after not making payments.

 

 

REVIEW: Jasiri X’s “Black Liberation Theology” Invites Listeners To An Audio Revolution

By: yourfavenightmare Updated Category: Music
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Jasiri X is one of the most celebrated rappers of the present day. Why? The man has stepped out time and time again, risking his wealth, health and well-being to fight for the people. Even when the people don’t think they need it, true freedom fighters battle on. On his latest project, Jasiri X comes with his hardest project to date – Black Liberation Theology. Listening the project suggests that the Pittsburgh native is increasingly more impatient with the American injustice system. The maddening police coverup over the murder of LaQuan McDonald in Chicago immediately comes to mind. Oh, but there are so many more victims from Tamir Rice, a 12-year old slain by police, to Eric Garner, a Black man killed in New York, to Oscar Grant in the Bay. Jasiri X encapsulates the frustration that’s boiling in Black America and he brings some friends with him. David Banner jumps on “Black Liberation Theology Part 1.” Tef Poe, Haze Cloud, Abhaollow, Blak Rapp Madusa, Idasa Tariq, Jordan Montgomery, King Legion and others also appear on Black Liberation Theology. The highlight may just be Jasiri and Rhymefest trading bars on “Christis,” and they ponder about if Jesus came back to us today. Black Liberation is rock solid and far more than a “positive” album. It addresses pertinent issues, asks questions, invites outsiders and forces the listener to think. Jasiri has taken his own art to another plane, likely a sad side-affect of increasingly troubling time. If there is a soundtrack to the realities of the day, this is it.

Romeo Miller Writes Letter About His Parents’ Divorce And Being Sued By His Mother

Watching your parents go through a bitter divorce is heartbreaking, just ask Romeo Miller. His parents, Master P and Sonya Miller, are hashing it out in the public and he has been dragged into it. His mother filed a lawsuit against him claiming that his father was using him to keep money from his label, No Limit Forever, from her. The 26-year-old took to Instagram to write a heartfelt post about this difficult experience.

“I am also going through something else, the difference is …I have to figure it out in public, which sucks,” he said. “My parents’ divorce is very public and has definitely taken a toll on us as kids. From rumors of me hiding money to my father kidnapping his kids –from day one I’ve realized that the media’s main goal is to sell a story and could care less about the well being of my family.”

Miller said this divorce has caused him and his mother to become distant.

“I haven’t spoken to my mother in months due to advice she’s taking from her lawyers,” he said. “It sucks because the only reason I’ve ever worked so hard was to make my mother proud. I’m the one in this business and I’m the one who has been least phased by it.”

Miller said he is grateful for his successful career, but saddened by what fame has done to his family.

 

“As thankful and blessed as I am, sometimes I think things would be easier if I wasn’t famous,” he wrote. “Fame for me is part of my job, but I would trade it all just for my family to have happiness once again.”

We are all going thru something and I'm here to tell you, you will get thru it. My letter of #hope. ⭐️?❤️?

Well, according to Christina Milian, Lil’ Wayne is trying to come back into her life. Christina still hasn’t learned to keep her private life off of social media. She tweeted,

“Stop telling me you love me. Stop asking me to come see you. I am most definitely not interested. #BeenOverIt #HappyNoThanksgiving.”

Maybe Milian was in her feelings after pictures surfaced online showing Lil’ Wayne spending Thanksgiving with his family and longtime girlfriend/former fiancee Dhea Sodano. Weezy has all of the girls even to this day. What is it about Lil’ Tunechi that has these women acting up like this. Hmmmm maybe to be with Lil’ Wayne, you have to accept the terms and conditions of an open relationship.

Christina go listen to ‘No Ceilings 2’ and log off!

One thing Charlamagne Tha God is known for is his opinion, and for his lack of fear in expressing it. Well Mack Maine wasn’t here for it when it came to a comment about Lil’ Wayne! The Young Money president didn’t take too well to Charlamagne saying,

“Why would I ever listen to Wayne right now when Fab dropped a tape.”

Mack Maine asked Charlamagne to keep “real nikkaz (names) out of his mouth.” He also suggested that Charlamagne was worse than the heaux these days! Charlamagne honestly wanted to know why he can’t have a preference with Fab’s ‘Summertime Shootout’ and Wayne’s ‘No Ceilings 2.’

Well Mack Maine claims things are going to change in 2016! We shall see. Charlamagne is still going to be talking shhhh! Lol.

Curren$y Fans Will Never See Him On What Reality Show?

Well Love & Hip Hop fans, if you ever wanted to see Curren$y on any of the seasons, it’s not going to happen! Spitta is not here for Mona Scott-Young and in the words of Joseline Hernandez, “the shenanigans.” Some fans respected him for not standing for the foolishness, while others told him he could use the “career boost.” Many believe when you hit Love & Hip Hop your career is over, and they assume the money stopped coming in. Is this the case? Maybe Curren$y doesn’t want to “sell out” for a couple of “fake” scenes. We were surprised by the amount of people that commented on social media saying they didn’t know who he was.

‘Empire’ Suffers Ratings Low On Thanksgiving Eve

(AllHipHop News) The popular music drama Empire hit a low point on Wednesday night (November 25). According to The Hollywood Reporter, this week’s episode suffered the worst ratings so far in the series’ run.

[ALSO READ: The Season Two Premiere Ratings Of ‘Empire’ Are In]

THR reports:

The Fox drama tumbled a steep 30 percent to a 3.1 rating among adults 18-49. That’s by far a night-of low for the top-rated broadcast series, which airs its fall finale next week. It’s a dramatic drop that the show hasn’t taken yet, but not altogether unique given TV viewers’ tendency [to] leave the tube before the holiday weekend (biggest bar night of the year!). And it is thus far unflappable in its DVR average.

The day before Thanksgiving is often referred to as one of “the busiest travel days of the year.” The high-traffic across the country could have played a role in the drop in same-day viewers for Empire.

The “Sinned Against” episode featured guest appearances by R&B star Alicia Keys and actress Vivica A. Fox. Empire still averaged a Wednesday night high of 9.1 million viewers. The previous viewership low for the Lee Daniels led show was the January 7 series premiere which brought in 9.9 million viewers.

Acts of racism against people of color are so plentiful these days that one would think the world was in the 50’s or 60’s. Well, act of rebellion are more prevalent as well. There is an economic boycott in full swing, where African Americans and others are supposed to withhold their trillions in spending power. Check out this video that outlines a lot of the issues and why this is effective if people ban together.

People are still encouraged to support small business, African American-owned business and other companies of color.
