This video has been circulating on MTV Jams for some time now but has yet to hit the net, until now. Today Jeremih drops the official video for his “Don’t Tell Em” remix featuring Ty Dolla Sign and French Montana. Jeremih’s Late Nights The Album is still on the way. As for the official video to the original “Don’t Tell Em,” I wouldn’t hold my breath.
The creativity of, Prodigy, first asserted itself with Mobb Deep. Its infamous aggression demanded Hip-Hop’s attention and has helped to sustain his artistic integrity. Having made a smooth transition from sixteens to the silver screen, he has already been cast in four other films.
Teaming up with director, Marvis Johnson, Prodigy makes a small cameo in, ‘A Talent For Trouble.’ He helped to produce the upcoming flick. Check out the video to learn more about the creative process.
(AllHipHop News) On the same night Lil Wayne released the first track from his forthcoming Sorry 4 The Wait 2 mixtape, the rapper’s manager took to Instagram to address the reported split taking place between Wayne and his label Cash Money.
After first saying “everything is good” at YMCMB and “we’re staying where we’re at” back in December, Cortez Bryant now states his client and friend does not “deserve the s**t he’s going through” and they plan to “unlock these chains.” Bryant posted the following message on IG:
[Lil Wayne] built Young Money from his dreams to reality. Launched the careers of Drake, Nicki Minaj Tyga not from their talent but from the belief in what he saw that they saw in themselves and put everything in making sure they fulfill their dreams! That’s what Young Money is about That’s the DNA of the real Lil Wayne Sacrifice himself to want his artist to be better! Wayne carried Cash Money on his back for over 10 years when he could have left and did this on his own The most loyal person I know on earth! He don’t deserve the s**t he’s going through at this point in the game. One thing for sure Two things for certain Mack Maine and myself will not let this dream die WE GOT US! #YOUNG MONEY #sorry4forthewait#freeCV

Whether harmonizing while channeling Rother Vandross, or punishing the pad and creating classic sixteens, Z-Ro, will continued to be appreciated. Last year, The Crown and Tripolar strengthened his critically-acclaimed discography.

(AllHipHop News) For all the trash talking that took place between 50 Cent and Taraji P. Henson over the two stars’ respective TV shows, it is interesting to find out that 50 apparently asked to appear on Henson’s new series Empire. This revelation comes after the Hip Hop mogul publicly complained the Fox drama seemed to borrow from his own hit show Power.
In an interview with Hip Hop Wired, Empire producer/director Lee Daniels claimed that 50 reached out to him about being a guest star on the program. According to Daniels, the Queens representative was attempting to make a cameo on Empire around the same time he was blasting the series.
“Oh 50, he didn’t even see the show,” said Daniels. “I just talked to him two weeks ago and he said was gonna come guest star. He’s just trying to start some mess.”
Daniels then praised 50 for his marketing strategy of trying to draw attention to Power. The 50-produced show debuted on Starz in 2014 and turned into a ratings success. The season finale totaled 2.5 million viewers which was the highest for a Starz season ender since Spartacus: War of the Damned in 2013.
(AllHipHop News) It’s official Lil Wayne is dropping the mixtape Sorry 4 The Wait 2. The Young Money boss has released the first song from the project. Weezy jumped on Future’s “Sh*t” beat to spit some bars over Mike Will Made It’s production.
Wayne did use a couple of lines to briefly address the ongoing situation with his label Cash Money. After announcing he wanted to leave his longtime musical home late last year, the New Orleans bred rhymer raps on “Sh!t Remix”:
Did my time at Cash Money / Time served and released / But this agent ain’t free… word / That’s the word on these streets / But that sh*t is old news / That s**t is so yesterweek / I’m just focused…
Listen to Lil Wayne’s “Sh!t Remix” below.
(AllHipHop News) Hip Hop lost a landmark when it was announced iconic D&D Studios was closing its doors. The location served as the birthplace for tracks by Gang Starr, Notorious B.I.G, Jay Z, Nas, Kanye West, Common, Snoop Dogg, Janet Jackson, Joey Bada$$, and many others.
Legendary producer DJ Premier first began using the studio in 1991, and in 2003 he bought the space from the original owners Douglas Grama and David Lotwin. Premier then renamed the studio HeadQcourter after his late friend Kenneth “HeadQcourterz” Walker.
As Premo continues to take down the soundproofing and in-wall speakers and move his remaining equipment, furniture and hundreds of vinyl records, he can reflect on the memories made at D&D but also look to the future.
“The building was sold in order to change it from commercial business to residential and our leases would not be renewed, so basically that means everybody out!” explains Premier. “It is tough to accept after so many years making that much history there, but life is good and I will continue to make hot music. Passion never leaves your soul and I have a lot of it so I’m ready to continue on.”
One half of the duo PRhyme has relocated HeadQcourterz to KAS Music And Sound at Kaufman Astoria Studios in Astoria, Queens. He is currently working on projects by numerous artists as well as his debut album Last Session @320 set for release later this year. Television and film scoring is also in the works for the veteran musician.
(AllHipHop News) Last November Harlem native Azealia Banks offered one of her fans the chance to win $10,000 by presenting a remix of her song “Chasing Time.”
The Broke With Expensive Taste album creator presented the “Chasing Time: Azealia Banks Bundle” on BitTorrent which allowed interested participants to download the track. They then had to create their own mix to the tune and submit it back to the rapper/singer.
Banks took to Twitter yesterday (January 12) to announce the winner and runner-up for the contest. Jimir “Amorphous” Davis (@LoneAmorphous) from Philadelphia won the top prize. Australia’s Division 4 (@division_4) came in second and will get the chance to spend a day in the studio with the “212” performer.

Though the Golden Globes largely snubbed Selma, the film making waves for it’s depiction of Civil Rights activist Martin Luther King Jr., it still performed well in theatres over the weekend, debuting at number two just behind Taken 3.
Directed by Ava Duvernay, despite criticism over the portrayal of former President Lyndon B. Johnson, it’s also garnered praise for showing the fight to have illegal voting laws repealed following years of racism in the South.

Congrats may be in order for R&B legend Usher who has allegedly gotten engaged to long time girlfriend and business partner Grace Miguel who he has been dating since the 2009 split from ex-wife Tameka Raymond. Although neither have formally confirmed the engagement, the singer recently opened up to Billboard regarding his relationship, revealing “I have an incredible partner and manager. She has helped me through some of the hardest times in my life and my career. She’s someone who’s been able to support and understand all of who I am. Not just as a dancer or as a performer or as a singer, but as a humanitarian and a business man and as a person.”
In an odd turn of events, R&B singer The Weeknd was arrested on January 10 for allegedly assaulting a police officer. In town for a performance at Drai’s Nightclub, after a brawl erupted at the Cromwell Hotel authorities were called to break up the fight. After being pulled into an elevator, an officer alleges that he was punched in the head by the 24-year-old singer who was arrested and jailed for “battery of a protected person.”
After being released on $2,000 bail he took to his Instagram account to announce “escaped from Las Vegas.”

Yes, you read that right — The Beastie Boys have decided to finally drop their “Too Many Rappers” video featuring Nas. The video was shot in 2011 and features the late Adam “MCA” Yauch. This is a typical Beastie Boys video except the guys are obviously much older. It’s fun and embodies everything the Boys are known for. “Too Many Rappers” was directed by Roman Coppola and was featured on their Hot Sauce Committee Part Two album.
Following a teaser via Instagram, Philly emcee Meek Mill has returned with a vengeance by putting his own spin on Wu-Tang’s classic “Ice Cream” track. Produced by J. Oliver, fans were given the opportunity to preview the single first, after it was exclusively made available via My Mixtapez Mobile App prior to a traditional release.
Up next for the fast spitter is his highly anticipated Dreams Worth More Than Money album.
KXNG CROOKED releases the visuals to his freestyle he did over 2pac’s “Pain” instrumental a few weeks ago to speak on the death of Eric Garner and police brutality that goes on in America.
Meet Joe-N-Box, two Jersey bred rappers who just might teach you something. The dynamic duo was introduced to the art of hip hop by Box’s older brother, Justin, who sadly passed away from a heroin overdose in 2011. To honor Justin’s memory, the two decided to find a way to turn their hobby–hip hop–into a profession. They also decided to spread a different a message in their music: unlike so many other rappers, they refuse to advocate lean, pills, and any other “hard” drugs.
They set themselves apart in other ways as well. They refer to themselves, their friends, and their fans as The Swines; a group of open-minded, unique individuals who live by the phrase “F-ck Being Ordinary”. The Swine logo is a flying pig, used to represent accomplishing the impossible, based on the old saying “When pigs fly.” The Swine ideals are found throughout Joe-N-Box’s music as they rap about things like refusing to be ignorant, refusing to conform, and never growing up.
P### star Kagney Linn Karter took to Twitter to expose Chris Brown for allegedly harassing her after she refused his sexual advances.
In a series of tweets, Karter says that Brown paid her $2,500 to be an escort for him for one night. Karter claims that she had no plans of having relations with the “New Flame” singer. She says that when she refused to sleep with Breezy, he had a fit and began sending her explicit pictures of himself (one can be seen here), bullying and stalking her. In her tweets she said the night she spent with him was “the worse night of her life” and deciding to be his escort was the “worse decision she ever made.”
Read her tweets blasting Brown below.
