After being behind bars for over four months, Bobby Shmurda and Rowdy Rebel will be headed to trail on June 25th, XXL reports. The two Brooklyn spitters along with 13 other members of their GS9 crew were charged with over 100 charges including attempted murder, conspiracy, assault and drugs and weapons charges.
The two attended a court date today (Apr. 22) where the statement and surveillance video that led to Rowdy Rebel’s attempted murder charge was requested as well as paperwork from Bobby’s 2014 gun charge that was dropped.
Rowdy and Shmurda’s bail remains at $2 million. If someone comes up with their bail, they will be released from Riker’s Island before their trial begins.
“What I would want is some reasonableness to take place and that this young man can be given a reasonable bail and get out,” their lawyer Kenneth Montgomery told XXL. ”But I know what we’re up against. We’re not up against reason. We’re up against the rule of law.”

Among those are North Carolina’s Fluent, a rapper committed towards staying on his path, devoid of smoke and mirrors. For his latest leak, “Run With Me,” Flu connects with Fred the Godson, and singer/songwriter, J. Harris, over a banging, horn heavy instrumental provided by longtime collaborator, J. Cardim.

Oh my! Chamillionaire recently stopped by the Madd Hatta Morning Show and revealed how he almost was going to swing on Michael Jordan for being rude to him at a charity event. Chamillionaire stated that he wanted a picture with Jordan after he bought one of his jerseys in a charity auction. Things went left when Jordan allegedly told Chamillionaire that he wasn’t taking any pictures with any n***as. According to Chamillionaire, Jordan then told him if he paid him the same amount of money that he paid for the jersey then he would take a picture with him. Chamillionaire was then ready to swing on him. He still buys those Jordans though. Check out the video below.

“At a time when we are still mourning the death of a loved one that he shot down in the street, Mr. Bates will be relaxing and enjoying his wealth and privilege,” the family said in a statement released Tuesday.
The 73-year-old was charged after a video surfaced on him shooting Harris and then apologizing. During a sting operation, Harris was caught selling guns and took off on foot once he realized what was happening. He was then pinned down by Bates, but after the accidental shooting, two other officers ignored Harris when he said he was losing his breath and told him “F–k your breath!”

The beast known as police brutality is not some sort of monster that was created by the media or Black people. There is a legacy of abuse by those in power that goes back to America’s beginnings. Unlike other acts of domestic terror, police brutality that results in the death of an unarmed person of color occurs about every 28 hours, according to a 2013 study. Black people were nearly 3x more likely than whites to be killed by police in 2014, per mappingpoliceviolence.org. In March of 2015, there were 36 Black people killed by police, which equals about 1 death per 21 hours and the trend appears to be increasing steadily. These studies only relay actual deaths, not harassment, racial profiling, beatings or other systemic injustices. AllHipHop joined forces with photographer extraordinaire Jean-Andre Antoine to chronicle #ShutItDown march that took place on April 14 in across New York City.

“I don’t even deserve a Jay Z feature ,” he told host Marc Lamont Hill, “’cause I ain’t go gold or platinum. To me, you can’t work with a gold or platinum artist if you haven’t [gone] gold or platinum — even though I can still bring a crowd bigger than probably 90 percent of the gold and platinum artists. When I say gold and platinum I mean they’re legends, not record sales. You know what I mean? Like, what did I do to deserve a Jay Z feature or a ‘Ye feature? I gotta work for that, man.”
He went on to describe the upcoming project as “super undergroud.”
“I don’t even want radio to play it,” he said. “That’s Waka Flocka. I want it for my fans.”
Flockaveli 2 drops June 1st. Watch his interview below to hear him chat about him EDM album, not being a celebrity and more.
