Police have obtained a warrant for the arrest of New Orleans rapper Widner “Flow” Degruy, who they said is wanted in connection with the double murder of two brothers last week.

Kendrick and Kendred Bishop, ages 22 and 18, were found shot early May 25 inside a black Kia sedan in the 4800 block of Bright Drive in eastern New Orleans. Both died there, police said. Investigators have not released information on a motive for the shooting.

Degruy was signed to Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment label in 2012. He would face two charges of second-degree murder, police said, and was identified as a suspect during Detective Gregory Johnson’s investigation.

5 Videos Chet Haze Must See

Chet Haze, the son of actor Tom Hanks, must run with other “toms” than his famous dad. Why? Apparently, he hangs out with a lot of Black people that allow themselves to be called n***er/ n***a or let him use it around them. Chet claims to be a rapper and yet he seems to have a total disregard even though people of color have appealed to him. Evoking his right to “Freedom of Speech,” Chet says he is going to stick to using the n-word, like it or not. Chet just hasn’t met the right n-words! Here are five videos that we advise Chet to see, especially if he hopes to have a career where people of color dominate artistically.

Listen to Yelawolf, Chet, a student of Eminem.

This young 21-year old man let a young while male say n***er several times before letting his hands loose. It is very important to recognize these sorts of people that give you warning before whooping yo’ a###.

REVIEW: Boosie – Touch Down 2 Cause Hell

Article by Andrew “DaBoyAG” Barnett 

 

Boosie’s new album has finally touched down, and this one scored big time. After getting mixed reviews to his first release after being freed from prison, “Life After Death Row,” Boosie has delivered to the highest extent. Critics feared that he had lost some of his edge due to a much less aggressive Boosie on Life After Death Row. Well there is no fear of that AT ALL on Touchdown 2 Cause Hell. This is the Boosie that everyone loves. Raw lyrics, true emotion, substance, aggressive delivery; It’s all there.

The album starts off with Boosie SNAPPING. You can tell he’s back in raw form from the jump. Boosie has never been a super lyrical guy, but his rapping style is so in your face that it can not be denied. All of his words hit HARD, and his delivery is just fiery. This same style continued throughout the album. If you’re familiar with Boosie, then you know that his lyrics are vivid and true to what he’s going though in life. Both of those traits are shown heavily on this album but especially on “Window Of My Eyes.” His raw and uncut lyrics are delivered with that same fire that we’re used to from the old Boosie. Everything he says is done in such an honest manner that you can’t help but feel it.

His subject matter and content is still as real as ever, On “Hip Hop Hooray,” he raps about Rappers portraying fake lifestyles in their music. On “Black Heaven” he raps about the African American legends that have passed away, and on “Hands Up” he raps about the police violence incidents in America. He has a lot of features on the album but every feature blends in perfectly with each song. Boosie plays off of all of his features, never a feeling of him being outshined. “Black Heaven” features 2 Coles, Keyshia and Jermaine(J. Cole). Cole’s verse is done in singing form, but it is still as effective as if he would have rapped it.

The production compliments Boosie as well as his old production did. Actually this is one of Boosie’s best produced projects. Songs like “Drop Top Music” and “On That Level” give us that Louisiana production that Boosie likes to rap over. Other songs like “On Deck” and “Retaliation” gives us that aggressive production that comes along with an aggressive Boosie in killer mode. “Mercy On My Soul” and “Black Heaven” have airy beats that give us more of an introspective vibe accompanied by Boosie’s thought provoking lyrics.

If you’re a Boosie fan, this album will be your favorite album of the year period. If you have never really been a fan of Boosie, this album should make you respect what he brings to to hip hop and why he is so loved by the southern region of the United States. Boosie is a one of a kind talent, and Touchdown 2 Cause Hell gives us exactly what we’ve wanted from Boosie. A very good album for a great listening experience.

Lyrics: 8.5/10
Production: 8/10
Cohesiveness: 8/10
Replay Value: 9/10

Overall: 8.5/10

Standout tracks: “Window Of My Soul,” “Retaliation,” “Black Heaven,” “Kicking Clouds”

 

 

 

Fluent Ft. Verse Simmonds – “Do It”

The mentality of the man on the move is one that can place their focus on what it is that they want, while discarding everything else that gets in the way. Carving out a lane to better yourself can be a challenging task, but in times of need, keep Nike’s slogan handy…just “Do It.” With a work ethic like Fluent’s, it’s not surprising that he’s applied this formula for making quality music. Whether it’s influenced by the club, or the streets, Flu’s managed to inject his own sound and style into his craft. For his latest leak, “Do It,” as featured on his forthcoming follow-up LP, Supreme Victory 2 (SV2), which is produced primarily by, J. Cardim, the Tar Heel native connects with the promising rapper, singer/songwriter, and producer, Verse Simmonds for a bouncy, club anthem that places both artists into the spotlight. While Flu holds his own as always with the bars, Simmonds manages to keep the energy on full blast with an infectious hook. SV2 is set to drop on June 9th, courtesy of Supreme Regime, and boasts guest appearances from French Montana, Chevy Woods, Fred the Godson, Sean Kingston and more!

Jared Evan - The Art Form of Whatever

Jared describes The Art Form of Whatever:

Towards the end of the tour, I thought about putting together some sort of free album or “mixtape” while my fans wait for my debut full length. I wanted it to be a project that showed a different side of me, something bold. So on my flight back to New York I started conceptualizing what the project could be like. I wrote down titles on my laptop, and one of them really stuck out to me  – “The Art Form of Whatever.” I started geeking off of the title and then knew exactly what I wanted it to be.

When I landed, it just so happened my dude Arcitype texted me asking if I’d come to Boston and work for a few days. It couldn’t have been better timing. I went to Boston and in literally 4 days created 10 songs from scratch. I’ve never been more proud of a project. It went from my brain to reality in the span of a few days. I really dug inside my creative chest for this one. I even painted the album art myself.

Romey – Harold’s Chicken

Wisconsin’s own, Romey returns after a brief hiatus, and he does it in a very big way. The Midwest King teams up with producer Victory to drop his brand new single he’s dubbed “Harold’s Chicken”. A popular staple in the Midwest, Romey uses it as a play on words, flipping it into an ode to those street chefs who stay putting in that work and producing the best product possible. This is definitely one to ride to and is sure to be a smash on blocks everywhere heading into the warm season. Look for this on his new album “No Mercy” when it takes the world by storm later this summer.
