In 2015, Tragic Allies are delivering yet another gift to the legacy of the golden age. This time the Allies frontmen Estee Nack and Purpose come together with plans on further solidifying their Tragic Allies brand as a dominant force in hip-hop with their new full length offering, 14 Forms: The Book of Estee Nack, set to be released on underground powerhouse Ill Adrenaline Records. After making notable appearances on Tragic Allies classic debut album The Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil as well as 2013’s underground smash album 7 G.E.M.S. (Tragic Allies & Tragedy Khadafi) Golden Era Music Sciences, an ideologically refreshed Estee Nack drops what he considers to be his testament of truth, justice and righteousness unto those – who like him (1st generation American born to immigrants from the Dominican Republic) – were raised combating the daily trials and tribulations of survival in minority-majority, low-income neighborhoods. Nack lets us know how serious he is about preserving the purity of his overall message by handling all the mic work on the entire album, equipping his rugged vocal delivery to manifest topics ranging from the struggle and pride of immigrants (particularly Dominicans) in America and abroad, to his ideas on the social structure, fake friends, sex, and the science of the universe.

Entirely produced by Purpose (Tragic Allies, 7 G.E.M.S., Tragedy Khadafi, Killah Priest, Paranom, Big Shug, etc.). Estee Nack & Purpose’s 14 Forms: The Book of Estee Nack will be released on June 23 via Ill Adrenaline Records. Pre-order 14 Forms: The Book of Estee Nack now on iTunes.

It is reported that Zimmerman was driving in his SUV when he noticed a man was flashing his headlights behind him.

Gucci Mane has been locked down for almost two years after being arrested on weapon and drug charges in September of 2013. While incarcerated he has had time to reflect on his trials and tribulations and wants to let his fans know that he is changing for the better. He submitted a letter to his fans via XXL. Give it a read below.

I dropped my 1st album Traphouse ten years ago May 2005 I remember being proud and angry the day it was released. I was proud of the work I put in and the quality of the project but I was angry that someone had to be killed over a dispute about the rights to some of the contents of the album. 10 years later I reflect on how that day impacted my life and my legacy and I am grateful for all the fans that supported me then and still support me now. Every challenge and obstacle in my life has helped me to become who I am today and provided me with the tests to display my resilience. I hope my life showed someone somewhere that if you endure the storm you will eventually get your chance to shine. I never give up and I have grown and learned so much and still am eager to learn more. I look forward to showing the world how much I have grown and getting out and helping my community. I have been blessed with the opportunity to be a recording artist and help others get their chance to be heard. To my fans I love you all and I want you all to know I am motivated and will not let my past decide my future. I chose to not focus my attention on my negativities but on my dreams. I will keep on hurdling and keep on hustling. My liabilties I turn to assets and even my inconsistincies make me the unique person I am. I am focused and I will be returning soon very soon so get ready. If I had to change anything in the last 10 years I would not change one thing. Sincerely Guwop!

its Guccciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! —Gucci Mane

Chris Brown is now installing a top-of-the-line security system in his home to make sure he doesn’t come home to anymore naked strangers. It seems that his old security system wasn’t on when Amira Ayeb broke into his home. Chris Brown will also be hiring someone to house sit his home since the intruder was inside his home for 2 days. Luckily for Ayeb, Brown does not want to have her prosecuted. He thinks she needs help in the mental health department and believes because of this she shouldn’t go to jail.
