Michael Merlot – "No Hook"
As White Plains, NY native Michael Merlot gears up for the release of his 1st solo project, ‘Better Late’ he decides to let go of a loose track to wet your musical pallet like an appetizer. The J Dilla produced track ‘No Hook’ features exactly what the title hints, no hook, straight bars. Not that Michael needs one as his rhythmic flow over the beat delivers more then enough substance to hold your attention through the whole track and leave you wanting more once it’s over. Luckily you won’t have to wait much longer for that as his upcoming tape, ‘Better Late’ will be dropping shortly.

Bogota Scrapz – "B.A.M."
After months of hard work Bogotá SCRAPZ is back with the release of his second full length project he’s simply entitled, B.A.M (By Any Means).

The forty-nine minute self-reflective project hosts productions from MisterrCha, DaPharoah, iBEATDRUM, TheOfficialTone, WYTFANG, Sean Geraghty, and Vega Beats and is by far the most personal piece that Bogotá has put out to date. As his craft improves with every drop, you can’t help but keep your eye on the 24 year old College grad turned emcee and wonder what the future of his music holds. Stay tuned for much more!

“Empire” Star Jussie Smollett Gets Record Deal With Columbia
It almost seems as if art fully imitates life as one young star of Fox’s#### show “Empire” now has a record deal.
Jussie Smollett, who plays the homosexual singer Jamal, revealed to Entertainment Weekly that he signed on the line with Columbia Records.
“There will be a Jussie Smollett album. I signed to Columbia. So darling [Laughs] I’m label mates with Beyoncé and Adele and Barbra Streisand,” he said in the candid conversation.
Jussie said that he wouldn’t reflect the reality depicted in “Empire,” but rather a flavor all his own.
“It’s going to be a whole different thing. Now, the Empire family will still have something to do with it. I would love for Terrence to come and oversee the production of all of the music,” he said. “And I would love for Timbaland to come on and Jim Beanz. We’ve all talked and they’re all down to work on it.”
“Empire” has continually made gains in ratings and now clocks in 16.1 million viewers as of last week. The success hasn’t fully been realized by Jussie.
It hasn’t clicked yet. The other day I went to Whole Foods and bought some chewable Vitamin C and got mobbed by like 15 girls. Today I was seven minutes late to work and I’m never late to work. I have been late to work two times,” he said. “But a van of women were in Whole Foods and I was there to get my salad for lunch. Literally, they come up and they’re like “Jamal!” And I was late because they had to stay there and try to figure out how to use their camera phones.”
“Empire” co-star Malik Yoba outted Jussie as gay in real life after the 25-year-old had previously been non-committal in interviews.

“I don’t think there’s a living celebrity with more weapons formed against him, but I don’t think there’s one more prosperous.”
“My goal, if I was going to do art, fine art, would have been to become Picasso or greater…That always sounds so funny to people, comparing yourself to someone who has done so much, and that’s a mentality that suppresses humanity.”
Dr. Dre Sued For Straight Outta Compton
A new lawsuit has popped up over an old album- N.W.A.’s 1988 album “Straight Outta Compton.”
R&B singer Prince Phillip Mitchell says he never gave Dr. Dre or Universal Pictures to feature his music in the upcoming movie of the same name.
