(AllHipHop News) For years, there have been reports about the supposed tension between New Orleans founded record labels Cash Money and No Limit. Both brands rose to national prominence in the late 1990’s, but there was never a major crossover effort between the Cash Money Billionaires and the No Limit Soldiers.
No Limit captain Master P bridged that longstanding gap when he recruited Cash Money artist Lil Wayne for his “Power” single. Then Turk, formerly of the Cash Money group Hot Boys, also connected with P for his “Wodie” remix. Turk recently spoke with DJ Vlad about finally working with the “Make Em Say Uhh!” rapper.
“I always wanted to work with P, but the powers that be didn’t allow it,” said Turk.
He was asked about the assumed feud between the respective CMB and No Limit rosters. According to Turk, the issues were likely between the companies’ CEOs, not the performers.
“I wouldn’t say the artists didn’t get along. I would say probably P and [Cash Money co-founder] Baby probably had their reasons why we never did anything together,” added Turk. “I don’t know what it was.”
Besides Master P, Turk also states he always wanted to collaborate with C-Murder and Mia X. The YNT Empire leader suggested if the two labels had united at the time of their climb the combination could have been unstoppable.

The words mean a lot to me and the beat is something you can definitely move to!”
Esteemed Music Executive and CEO of Artistry Worldwide, Max Gousse, says, “KK‘s fan base is already global. Signing her to Artistry was an easy choice. She’s destined to be the best of the next millennial stars.”

These songs will make you wanna groove and vibe!” says KK.
With her widespread international appeal, KK will undoubtedly take the title as the next global recording artist and superstar.

(AllHipHop News) Bronx artist collective Rebel Diaz is hosting a benefit concert for imprisoned activist Mumia Abu-Jamal. M-1 of the rap group Dead Prez, YC the Cynic, Ferguson activist/rapper Tef Poet, acclaimed poet Aja Monet, Brooklyn emcee King Capo, and the Youth Poet Laureate of New York City Ramya Ramana will all perform tonight (April 23) at BB Kings in New York City.
The fundraising event is being held to help raise money for Mumia’s legal fight. The 60-year-old author was sentenced to death in 1982 for the death of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. Numerous organizations such as Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund have challenged the conviction on the grounds Mumia did not receive a fair trial.
According to reports, Mumia has become critically ill in recent weeks. He spent several days in the intensive care unit at a hospital before being transferred back to the SCI Mahanoy correctional facility. There is concern the prison is not equipped to adequately care for Mumia’s condition.
Tickets for the #BringMumiaHome benefit concert are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. All proceeds go to the Bring Mumia Home campaign.
Rebel Diaz is also working with artists and activists across the country to stage rallies in support of Mumia on April 24and April 25. For more information visit bringmumiahome.com.
“Mumia has been locked up as long as most of us have been alive. He is the voice of the voiceless. He has been our generation’s Nelson Mandela,” RodStarz from Rebel Diaz tells AllHipHop.com. “Here we have a freedom fighter locked up behind bars, yet his revolutionary spirit has given all of us inspiration to keep working for a better tomorrow.”
Dashcam footage has revealed the startling moment a Texas trooper ran toward a motorcyclist following a high-speed chase, leaped into the air and karate kicked him to the ground. The unconventional maneuver led to a three-day, unpaid suspension for Trooper Abraham Martinez last year but the footage only emerged this week as the Austin American Statesman investigated outdated tactics used in Department of Public Safety pursuits.
50 Cent has taken many shots at Diddy lately about his loyalty, sexuality, brands and more. It seems like Diddy is finally taking a subliminal shot at 50 by saying:
“You know who I am and you know what I do! You will never beat me! I’m going to show you how great I am!
Of course fans wasted no time tagging 50 Cent. Do you think Diddy should’ve been more direct?
(AllHipHop News) Veteran rapper Keith Murray is partnering with legendary soccer player Pelé, Hip Hop Saves Lives, and Negus World to support Love Futbol’s youth mission in Brazil. The collective is teaming up for the Negus Worldwide Party with the purpose of raising funds for a brand new soccer field in the city of Aliança, Brazil.
“I’m definitely excited to be the spokesman for this,” says Keith Murray.“I love helping kids and to help give them a way to become better through sports is an amazing thing.”
The Negus Worldwide Party in New York is scheduled for May 9th at 100 3rd Ave. The event begins at 9 pm and continues until 4 am. Other NWWP events are planned all around the world for the same day including locations in California, Florida, Brazil, Ethiopia, Canada, India, China, France, the U.K., and Germany.
“It’s an honor to be able to lend a hand beside one of the greatest Futbol players in the world,” continues Murray. “I know that people will lend a hand to this worthy cause because it’s definitely going to impact the kids in a major way.”
Apparently it was Big Sean who broke up with Ariana Grande and it wasn’t really over tour schedules. Sources say the downfall of their relationship started in February, when he made the most important appearance of his career at the House of Blues in West Hollywood. Kanye, Justin Bieber, J-Lo, Chris Brown, Jay Z, A$AP Rocky, Tyga, Kylie and Kendall Jenner all showed up. Everyone showed up except Grande. Allegedly she didn’t show up because she needed to get ready for the Grammy’s the next day, which he found extremely selfish. Sean reportedly traveled to see Grande “10 times more” than she traveled to see him and asked him to spend thousands of dollars to take private jets to come see her. It’s been said that Big Sean felt that Grande was a spendthrift, but was still open to reconciliation right before Grande “let” Justin Bieber grab her from behind. Allegedly he felt the whole thing with Bieber was calculated.
A mother of two said she was walking down the street when bullets came out of nowhere. Her children’s father said he was stunned when he heard of the shooting. “It’s shocking news to find that your children’s mom got shot and you got to be stuck with your kids and hoping that she lives.”
These guys need to be a comedy act. They are supposedly going to fight in Atlantic City for a million bucks. This is a low key joke! But look at how they are going about it.

Since Iman Shumpert was traded from the New York Knicks to the Cleveland Cavaliers, he is now a playoff contender. To celebrate making his way to the finals, he recorded a song titled “The Offs.” On the track, the Chicago native pays tribute to his teammates as he shouts them out for their skills.
The Cavs are up 2-0 and will face the Boston Celtics tonight for game three tonight at 7:00 p.m.
Carter Deems is not the typical 2010 era battle rapper. He is more likely to spit rhymes about calico cats than calico guns. His rounds are full of absurdly effective pizza punchlines, Star Wars bars, and microwave wordplay.
With a growing fan base that includes T-Pain, Deems is building a buzz that is likely to push the unabashed “rap nerd” to even higher plateaus in the culture. A chart topping R&B singer may love Carter’s style, but what does his family think? According to the Dirty South rhymer’s sarcastic Twitter bio, that support seems to be lacking: “My parents found out that I’m a battle rapper :(.”
AllHipHop.com connected with the jokester for the most recent installment of the “Profiles In Battle Rap” series. Deems continued his funnyman routine with comments about uplifting his competitors, making friends during water aerobics, and his possible future career at The Dump furniture store.
I don’t really have a crew, but I met some guys at water aerobics, and we played laser tag once. We haven’t really hung out since then though.
