Marissa- “Tied Down”

Emerging artist Marissa is making waves with her new synth-heavy single “Tied Down”. The Big Fruit produced single allows the Atlanta native to express a woman’s desire to be free instead of being tied down to any man. The single life and no strings attached life does have its perks. Marissa isn’t looking for love right now; she just wants someone who just knows what it is. Right now she just wants to live and have fun. “Maybe she’ll be ready when she’s older, but right now she doesn’t want to look over her shoulder.” Take a listen to the track below.

Is Ciara’s Recent Album A Flop?

Photo via Ciara’s Instagram

It seems that Ciara may have another flop on her hands. Last week CiCi released her sixth studio album ‘Jackie’, named after her mother. The album failed to produce much success in numbers, as it only sold approximately 20K copies. Billboard noted in a review that although the album was filled with uptempo dance songs and vulnerability, the album has been seen before by Ciara. Others say the album underwhelms. Ciara claims this is her best work yet, and that an artist can be hurt in the album sales department because of streaming sites. Maybe Ciara should just model. Let’s be honest she isn’t much of a singer, but she’s a great performer/dancer/entertainer.

Former Bad Boy Hitman Says Aaliyah’s Cousin Robbed Him Of Money

Photo via Jeffery’s Instagram

Jeffery “J-Dub” Walker, the former member of Diddy’s “Hit Men Squad” who produced hits like Diddy’s “Satisfy You,” and orchestrated Diddy and Jimmy Page’s “Come With Me,” said Aaliyah’s relative Jomo Kenyatta Hankerson conspired with his father, Barry Hankerson, to steal his royalty checks for his work with them on Aaliyah’s songs and then left him with a tax bill.

Walker says he signed with the Hankersons’ Blackground Records in 2000 to produce for Aaliyah, and agreed to split royalties for production, writing songs and copyrights. Walker left the now-defunct label in 2001 after Aaliyah was killed in an airplane crash. Walker said in court papers that Blackground Records never sent him royalty statements from 2003 to 2011. But in 2012, the Internal Revenue Service informed him that he owed taxes on $262,580 in royalty income. He sued Hankerson in Georgia federal court, but a judge dismissed the case, because the judge said the court didn’t have jurisdiction. Allegedly Walker plans to re-file the suit in Los Angeles. Jomo and Barry Hankerson’s lawyer, Alan Clarke, said he was not aware of a pending lawsuit, but insisted Walker had been paid. Records show Jomo Hankerson has been sued several times over the years for owing money.

Rich Homie Quan Hints At Rape In New Song (AUDIO)

Rich Homie Quan has just followed in Rick Ross’ footsteps and insinuated rape in his lyrics. In a new track titled “I Made It,” the Atlanta spitter said:

“I don’t want your ho, just want that cookie from her – she tried to resist so I took it from her. How you gonna tell me no/ you must not know who I am/Even if I’m on the road I see whats goin’ on cause you know I got cameras/ I don’t know no questions but I know the answers/I throw these black fists just like a panther.”

Quan has yet to comment on these sketchy lyrics.

Lil’ Kim’s Ex-Fiancee Has Been Sentenced To Life In Prison

A notorious Brooklyn drug kingpin who was once engaged to marry Lil’ Kim will be spending the rest of his life behind bars. Damion “World” Hardy was sentenced to life on Monday (May 11) after being convicted of six murders, the New York Post reports.

Hardy, 40, was the leader of the Cash Money Brothers, a drug crew that operated out of Brooklyn’s Lafayette Gardens housing projects. Hardy was not mentally fit to stand trial and was heavily medicated due to a schizophrenia diagnosis but when he was given a chance to speak he said, “I am 100 percent, completely innocent.”His mental health reportedly began to deteriorate during his engagement to Lil’ Kim after he returned from a trip to the Middle East.

His alleged hitman, Aaron “Ebay” Granton was not as calm when he had his opportunity to speak.

“All y’all stood around me and ate candies out of my pocket,” he said to the audience in the courtroom.

Family members of victims took the stand to say their last words to the convicted murderers. The sister of Darryl Baum, who was Mike Tyson’s bodyguard, spoke through her tears.

“I feel you are an incredibly dangerous, selfish, vicious, disloyal and insecure soul who killed because it empowered you,” said Zakiya Baum to Hardy​, who ordered for Baum to be killed in 2000.

Family members of the deceased victims applauded as Granton and Hardy were escorted out of the courtroom.
