Life According To The “Psalms Of David”: AllHipHop.com Talks To Rapper Dee-1
Dee-1 has awakened the beast within hip hop since we last spoke! His interactive stage show has been taking crowds both by surprise and by storm. He just finished touring 50 cities with Macklemore and recently released another mixtape, entitled “Psalms Of David” once again proving that everyone sleeping on him had better set their alarms soon! AllHipHop.com got a chance to catch up with Dee-1 and see just what’s been goings on with one of New Orleans favorite sons!
Check out the AllHipHop.com interview with Dee-1!
AllHipHop.com: Thanks so much for taking a few moments out for us sir,You’ve had one heck of a year! What is one of the most important lessons that you’ve taken away from all your new experiences?
I’ve learned that you have to capitalize on the moment. Once this moment is gone, you can’t get it back, and you don’t want to be saying “I could have or should have” done something. I’ve also learned that success is a lifestyle, not just a singular act you accomplish in the booth or on stage. You have to practice being successful off the stage too, with the way you think and the way you treat people and make decisions.
AllHipHop.com: Since we spoke last, you’ve released the new mixtape Psalms Of David, what was the premise behind putting together the mixtape and who did you work with on it?
I put it out the day before I went on tour with my patna Lecrae. I just wanted to have some new music out there for my fans. I had just come off tour with Macklemore and I had dropped “The Focus Tape” with Mannie Fresh the day before that tour started, so I wanted to do that again. Drop a new project right before my tour starts. My first name is David, and David wrote many of the Psalms in the bible. And my songs are all written to motivate my listeners and tell stories, so I went with the title “Psalms of David.” It’s been my biggest mixtape to date. It features production from Flight School, 5th Child, Rockaway, Phurnace, J Kits, and more.
AllHipHop.com: How have you evolved as an artist on this new project?
This project is me embracing the fact that God is the foundation for my whole life as well as my music. I’m a rapper and a God fearing man, two separate things, but not one without the other. And when I combine that to make songs, it makes for something special. My music doesn’t sound like anything else out.
AllHipHop.com: What do you hope that this new music reflects to the listener?
I want the listener to get motivated to live their life to the fullest. I want my music to reflect that it ain’t easy, but it’s a never-ending battle that’s worth it. Because overall, life is good.
AllHipHop.com: What is one thing the fans don’t know about you that you wish they did?
That I got next.
AllHipHop.com: Can you give us 4 words that describes your stage show?
“That boy a beast!”
AllHipHop.com: What’s going on with you right now? Who are you working with and what can we expect?
I’m finishing up “Psalms of David” Vol 2, gonna drop that late April/early May. And I’m about to drop a bunch of music videos.
AllHipHop.com: Please tell the people how they can keep up with you!
On Twitter and Instagram its @dee1music …. Facebook.com/dee1music … and my website is dee1music.com for all merch and tour dates. Big huge S/O to Allhiphop, I rock with yall 1000. Chuck, Greg, Steve, Skyy, and all my peoples over there. Believe dat.
Thanks again to Dee-1 for choppin it up with us and everybody stay on the look out for Psalms Of David Vol 2 coming out soon!
Non Hip-Hop Rumors: Lance Armstrong Is BROKE?
BOSS TO LOSS!
Damn, son! If you get money the way Lance Armstrong did, you’re supposed to have money in the stash or something – an offshore account! Apparently, Army Strong was honest in his money dealings, because dude is reportedly BROKE! He didn’t tuck anything away. I mean, it makes sense. He was making so much money from his company and all the endorsements and probably brought assets accordingly. And, with those streams of money all dried up, he’s going down fast. The latest is that he’s sold his home, valued at $10 million… for $3 million. I’ve got no mercy. My home is worth a pair of Jordans.
Selita Ebanks Preggers?
Nah, this was a prank. And no, Terrance J is not the fake father.

L.A.’s Classic Hip-Hop Station KDAY Could Be Facing Format Change
(AllHipHop News) Listeners of 93.5 KDAY in Los Angeles are not pleased with a suspected programming change set to come. With the proposed sale of KDAY by Magic Broadcasting to RBC Communications for $19.5 million, the station is reportedly switching from a classic Hip-Hop and R&B format to Chinese language talk radio according to nbclosangeles.com.
The KDAY call letters have a long history in the L.A./Redondo Beach area. The original KDAY 1580 AM was actually the first station in the country to play Hip-Hop exclusively. KDAY also helped launch the careers of West Coast rap acts like N.W.A.
As of yet the sale is not final. It still must be approved by the FCC which may mean that RBC will not take over KDAY for another 4 months at the earliest. There is also an ongoing legal matter concerning Magic Broadcasting.
A previous attempt to sell the station to SoCal935 for $35 million in 2010 fell through supposedly because there was still pending ligation involving Magic owner Don McCoy and creditor/license holder Durden Enterprises.
Radioinsight.com reports that McCoy is quoted saying, “I don’t understand [why] someone would buy a station with a stockholder lawsuit filed against it. It will be interesting to see what happens.”
There have not been any formal public statements about a format change at KDAY from any of the parties involved.
In February, KDAY’s ratings put the station in a tie for 29th place in its market.
Watch the NBC report on the sale in the video below.
Hip-Hop Rumors: Check Out Raekwon And Dame Dash’s New Business Moves!
Raekwon is the man from the Clan, but I got a tidbit that he’s got a new business venture that’s really cool. The Wu General posted a picture saying, “Into the furniture business, Wu desk.”
I’m thinking this is going to be a success, because I would definitely put this in my house. I’m only hoping that the cost is not too much of a head crack.
It looks pretty pricey.
DAMN! DAMN DASH DOING JUST GREAT?
A lot of people were laughing the other day at the interview Dame Dash did, where he sent a dagger Jay-Z’s way. He kind of clowned Jay for still being into Hip-Hop in his 40s. So, people he something to say about him. BUT, I’m hearing that Dame Dash is now about to make a dream come to reality with “Dash Motor Oil” and “Dash Motors.” Now well over a year ago, there were these reports and it seemed like this venture was just another headline. But it seems like its true! If so, Dame is about to be caked up again. Quiet as kept, I heard he and Jim Jones are making a lot of money together!
Here is the whole interview with Combat Jack.
And here is a video from 2011 talking about Dash Motor Oil.

2Pac Inspired Musical Closer To Heading To The Stage
(AllHipHop News) Hip-Hop icon Tupac Shakur’s work has inspired cover songs, books, and university courses, and now the late emcee’s music will serve as the basis for the upcoming play, Holler If Ya Hear Me , by celebrated Broadway director Kenny Leon.
The title was taken from the 2Pac song of the same name off his sophomore album Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. The musical features a book by Todd Kreidler and choreography by Tony Award winner Wayne Cilento.
Leon’s Holler If Ya Hear Me is the story of two childhood friends and their associates as they try to overcome the struggles of life in the inner-city.
“The idea was always to make a musical inspired by his music and not to do an autobiographical approach to his life or anything like that,” Leon told NPR in 2011. “And because I always thought that Tupac was a prophet and I thought if everybody could hear his words and hear his stories, they would see what I see.”
Leon came to prominence in the theater world for directing a revival of A Raisin in the Sun that starred Sean “Diddy” Combs and Phylicia Rashād. He also directed Denzel Washington and Viola Davis to Tony Award wins in August Wilson’s Fences.
He recently helmed Lifetime Network’s all African-American rendition of Steel Magnolias featuring Rashād, Queen Latifah, and Alfre Woodard.
According Broadwayworld.com, The Clark Atlanta University graduate will be directing a five-week summer developmental workshop of Holler If Ya Hear Me in New York running from June 3rd – July 7.
Holler If Ya Hear Me has been in development for several years, but with Leon, Kreidler, and Cilento conducting an informal run through this summer, 2Pac and Broadway fans may not have to wait much longer to experience the Hip-Hop musical.

More Details Emerge of Lil Wayne/Trick Daddy Incident At KODs
(AllHipHop News) Rumors have been flying the last few days of an alleged fight that took place between Lil Wayne and Trick Daddy at the King of Diamonds strip club in Miami.
[ALSO READ: Hip-Hop Rumors: Did Trick Daddy G-Up On Lil Wayne In Miami?]
TMZ is now reporting that Wayne and Trick never actually confronted each other face-to-face, but apparently someone from TD’s crew did throw a lit cigarette at the YMCMB rapper.
Wayne was at the night spot with his friend Young Money President Mack Maine. At some point in the night Wayne and Mack decided to leave the club, and as the two were exiting they were confronted by members of Trick’s entourage.
After Wayne was hit with the cigarette, King of Diamonds security stepped in before the situation could escalate. It appears that Trick Daddy was not present in the area where the scuffle was happening.
“It’s sad they had to revisit a situation that was Internet beef … while surrounded by naked girls,” a representative from King of Diamonds told TMZ.

The incident seems to be an extension of the ongoing beef several Miami area rappers have taken up with Wayne after his onstage rant against the Miami Heat basketball team during NBA All-Star Weekend in February.
[ALSO READ: Lil Wayne Goes On Anti-Miami Heat Rant: “I F*cked Chris Bosh Wife”, “I’m the new Pac”]
“If anybody don’t like it they can die tonight,” stated Tricky Daddy after Wayne’s Heat comments surfaced. “I don’t care who be offended by what I say. I rep my city and want nobody disrespecting.
Miami performers Uncle Luke and Pitbull also addressed what they felt was Wayne’s disrespect toward their hometown. Up-and-coming local rapper LMS even released a Lil Wayne diss track entitled “No Jeggings.”
Lil Wayne did apologize to the city of Miami and LeBron James though he refused to offer any remorse for his public announcement that he slept with Chris Bosh’s wife.
As of yet, Wayne has not made a statement about the King of Diamonds incident.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Has Kim Kardashian’s Worst Nightmare Come True?
This is the most recent issue of In Touch magazine. And I think they are trying to play my boy Yeezy like a stereotypical shiftless Negro! I’m not sure what is going on with K & K, but pregnant and alone? First of all, she has a baby right there in her tummy. She ain’t alone! Secondly, you know she has mad family! Thirdly, we don’t know what is going on with her and Kanye. I have to admit, it FEELS like there is something going on and the rumors are persisting. I think maybe Ye is just getting his Zen right.
Does Kanye gotta choke a MF?
Time will tell. But, I noticed a pattern with these rag mags that are definitely pandering to the female denominator. Peep:
You get the point.
If he’s wrong…there’s time to make it right.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Lil Waynes New Beef: WITH A PITBULL OF A LAWYER!
David Goldstein says Lil Wayne owes him a lot of money and he plans to get it by any means. Last month, a court awarded Goldstein $1.2 million in legal fees for his client, Quincy Jones III, who won a judgment of $2.2 million in a dispute over a documentary. According to gossipextra.com, Goldstein has his eyes on seizing a number of Wayne’s expensive material items in order to settle the debt. In order to do so, Goldstein intends to move the judgement to Florida, per Miami-Dade County records. This is where he can get busy on all of Lil Wayne’s stuff like his $11 million mansion and that Bugatti! The car is valued at $2 million, b. Remember, in November QD3 beat Wayne in court and the judgement kicked in – a total of $3.4 a-milli. That’s nothing to YMCMB.
Here is the document from gossipextra.com:

Breaking Down the Beat: Just Blaze Speaks on Producing with Baauer; Breaks Down “Higher” and “Harlem Shake”
Just Blaze is hustling and he’s making moves in circles that Hip-Hop enthusiasts were unaware of.
He’s down with the controversial Baauer, who crafted the unlikely hit song, “The Harlem Shake.”
Recently multiplatinum super-producer, know to his mother as Justin Smith, spoke with Lee Hawkins of The Wall Street Journal about his new songs ”Higher” and ”The Harlem Shake,” co-produced by the now widely popular EDM/Trap producer, Baauer.
In the exclusive interview, Just Blaze took the time to break down the songs and detailed the thought process behind the release of the singles which have now garnered millions upon millions of views.
Defying traditional ideas behind the release of a record Just Blaze and Baauer created juggernaut of a song by catering to world of club DJs
“I actually just came off of a 20 city tour, myself and my partner Baauer, you may have heard of him he has the whole s**t that has everyone going nuts, we did a 20 city tour. The interesting thing about that is, the tour was conceived before that record blew up. We sat down and talked about the possibility of going on the road and doing a show together and in the process of that we said, ‘Well you know what? Lets do a record together.'”
“So we sat in this room about a month ago and we came up with this record called “Higher.” And we knew that it was cool, but I dont think that either of us really anticipated what was going to happen there.”
Using portions of a Jay-Z sample that was given to them for their tour, Baauer and Just Blaze combined synths, organs and tweaked drums to create a multi-layered composition that is now world renowned.
“Traditionally if your are releasing a record through a traditional outlet like iTunes, Amazon record stores or whatever, sometimes people who release music on the internet release records on Monday because journalists and PR people are back at their desks, bloggers are at their desks, we sat here on a Thursday night at about 4 in the morning and I was like,”Lets release this tonight.”
Despite some people in their camp thinking that Baauer and Just Blaze should hold on to the record, Just Blaze wanted to release the record for DJs to play at parties immediately.
Preying on thirsty DJs looking to add to their Friday and Saturday partyy sets, Just Blaze and Baauer dropped the record at 4 a.m. on a Thursday morning only to wake up to thousands of views and downloads.
For more information on the Wall Street Journal’s exclusive interview with Just Blaze, take a look at the videos below and learn more about how Just Blaze co-produced and marketed “Higher” and “The Harlem Shake.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: What Singer Has Admitted To Being Down With Satan?
Did Kes$ha Admit To Being A Satanist?
At first I thought there was going to be some sort of way to refute this, but this almost seems crystal clear. I was personally sickened by “Die Young” by Ke$ha, but when she revealed the Illuminatit made her do it, I felt pity. Well, they must have made her do a lot more, because this video shows her and a lot of pro-Satan paraphernalia. Like, wow.
Time for some Immortal Technique to balance things out.

CLR Feat. Rockie Fresh , AG Cubano & The Kid Daytona “Me No More”
Reebok Dumps Rick Ross
(AllHipHop News) Reebok has officially ended it’s partnership with Maybach Music mogul Rick Ross. The sneaker company first felt the heat calling for them to cut off Ross after the release of his latest song U.O.N.E.O depicted the rapper performing date rape on a woman: “Put Molly [Ecstasy] all in the champagne. She ain’t even know it. I took her home and I enjoy that. She ain’t even know it.”
Since the song dropped the rapper has attempted to backtrack on his lyrics, Meek Mill has spoken up in his defense and a recent concert Ross was set to perform at was cancelled in response to protestors.
UltraViolet co-founder Nita Chaudhary released a statement through the women’s organization applauding Reebok for the decision.
She said, “We are thrilled to hear that Reebok is joining the fight against rape culture and dropping Rick Ross. This is a huge victory for women, for the 526 survivors of rape who were brave enough to publicly confront rape culture, and for the nearly 100,000 UltraViolet members who have poured their hearts and time into this campaign. This sends a strong message that rapping about drugging and raping an unconscious woman is not only morally wrong, but has real consequences. After Steubenville, Americans expect and demand better. Thank you Reebok for taking a stand.”
After strong grassroots protest, UltraViolet members banned together in mass and seemingly pushed Reebok to take action.
No word from Ross’ camp on how he is taking the news.
Hip-Hop Rumors: Will Chief Keef Have A Similar Problem To Rick Ross?
Looks like Chief Keef may have a Rick Ross situation on the way. Or not.
RELATED: Hip-Hop Rumors: Will White Women Take Down Rick Ross?
There is a song that has yet to be release and the lyrics are more than controversial. They are appalling. But how appalling is appalling? I don’t really know anymore.
In a new song, “You,” Keef reportedly raps ““You aint gonna let me f*ck and I feel you, but you gone suck my d*ck or I’ll kill you.”
Here is the catch, the song has not been released yet. They leaked part of it on Twitter a day or so ago and they offered this nugget of insight into the content of the music.

White House Responds to New Jay-Z Song, Says Obama Never Spoke To Jay-Z About Cuba Trip
(AllHipHop News) “Boy from the hood but got White House clearance.”-Jay-Z
Jay-Z did not offend his political connects on his vicious new song, “Open Letter” he released earlier today but he does have them talking.
During a White House Press briefing earlier today (April 11th), White House Press Secretary Jay Carney denied that the White House gave any clearance to Jay-Z and Beyonce on their recent Cuba trip:
“I am absolutely saying that the White house from the President on down had nothing to do with anybody’s travel to Cuba that is something that Treasury handles.”
Carney even sarcastically quipped “I guess nothing rhymes with Treasury” when reasoning why Jay-Z would allude to attaining White House clearance and communicating with the President about the Cuba trip.
Yesterday (April 10th) the United States Department of Treasury issued a statement on why they approved Jay-Z and Beyonce’s trip to Cuba. According to the United States Department of Treasury, the Carters’ trip was apart of a “cultural exchange program”:
It is our understanding that the travelers in question traveled to Cuba pursuant to an educational exchange trip organized by a group authorized by OFAC [the Office of Foreign Assets Control] to sponsor and organize programs to promote people-to-people contact in Cuba,” the department responded in a letter obtained by CNN.
Reuters reports that a New York-based nonprofit, Academic Arrangements Abroad, set up the trip.
An embargo between Cuba and America has been in place since 1960 and severely limits American tourism in Cuba.
Check out the video of White House Press Secretary addressing Jay-Z’s lyrics:
