Tribute Concert At St. Andrews Set For Slain Rapper Proof
(AllHipHop News) Historic Hip-Hop venue St. Andrews will play host to a tribute concert this Wednesday (April 11th) for D-12’s Proof.
The concert, which takes place on the six-year anniversary of Proof’s murder, will feature a rap battle, as well as performances by Obie Trice, Supa Emcee, K Deezy, Stretch Money and Killa Kaun.
Proceeds for the concert will benefit Proof’s family, as well as the Detroit record label he led called, Iron Fist Records.
“It’s very important that we keep his legacy alive because of what he meant to the city. We want to keep his music alive and his legacy strong to build it for his family and the future,” 1st Born told the Detroit News.
Detroit rapper Moe Dirdee has said that the event will showcase artists on Iron Fist Records.
“Each artist on the label has a different piece of Proof, something we’ve all gathered something from him,” Moe Dirdee said. “When we get together, you see it, you see those different pieces of him.”
Proof was signed to superstar rapper Eminem’s Shady Records, as a member of the platinum selling group, D-12.
Proof was in the CCC Club on 8 Mile Road, when a heated verbal argument escalated into gun play.
Proof allegedly shot and killed a man named Keith Bender during the dispute and was in turn shot and killed by a bouncer named Mario Etheridge, inside of the venue.
Etheridge was never charged with Proof’s murder, although he was convicted of three weapons charges.
Proof is survived by his five children.

Lil’ Jon Planning to Release Album this Year; Explains Role as DJ
(AllHipHop News) Atlanta’s King of Crunk, Lil’ Jon, recently spoke about his upcoming plans for the next year, as well as his newfound role as a DJ.
Having recently taken the stage with some of electronic and dance music’s most well known artists at this year’s Ultra Music Festival, Lil’ Jon explained his feelings on house music and the electronic dance festivals.
“I’ve done some other festivals. When those events come up , it’s like every major DJ in the world is there. You get to meet and see and just hang out with your homies, basically,” Lil Jon explained to Forbes Magazine.
When asked about the recent popularity of house music, Lil’ Jon said, “It’s party music and there’s so much new music constantly coming out and it’s just music to make you have a good time.”
Lil Jon has spent his time working on the craft of DJing as of late, perfecting the art of moving the crowd and diversifying his set list with varying genres of music.
“When I DJ, I play everything from some Afrojack to some Big Sean to some Skrillex. I play a wide variety of stuff so I have to really be on top of my musical game. I also have to be able to read the crowd and know exactly what kind of people I have in the crowd and play for everybody because my crowds are so diverse,” Lil Jon explained. “A normal house DJ has a sick crowd that comes out and they just want to hear house all night. My crowd wants to hear Timberland, “Get Low”, and so many different things, so I have to be on top of my game and really read the crowd. I also have high energy while I’m DJing and give them a good show.”
Lil’ Jon also revealed to fans that he is prepping a new album to be released this year, although he says he wants to keep recording before he calls the collection of songs an album.
“I have a lot more records coming out. I’ve been in the studio. Recently, I’ve just been on the road so much I haven’t been able to finish a lot of the new records that I have. But basically, more music coming out. I got to constantly keep giving people music,” Lil Jon said. “In the next couple months, I have a lot more records, and maybe an album later this year. I got a title for the album but really I want to just keep recording songs and when I get enough songs to call it an album, I’ll call it an album. I could also release singles and then when it’s time to put out an album, I’ll put out an album. I just want to keep recording.”

Daily Word: Have Faith & Don’t Worry!!!
Tremendous Tuesday, my Magnificent beings!
Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to worry and faith! It is absolutely impossible to have both at the same time! If you are worrying, then you don’t have faith…. if you have faith, then you have no time or reason to worry!
The choice is yours, but you have to be clear about which you are carrying with you right now! It is a fact that worry has never ever done anything to better anyone’s situation… despite that, most people go around worrying instead of simply having faith and believing in the unseen! I say “simply having faith,” because that’s what it has to be!
Faith shouldn’t be something that you battle with… It is something that you believe in without a shadow of a doubt! It is knowing that, no matter what the circumstance, everything will be alright! You’ve tried worrying, and it got you nowhere…. Now it’s time to try another option, and see where it takes you!! Have faith!! The only thing that can stop you is you!! Get out of your way and let greatness happen!!
-Ash’Cash
“Rule number one is, don’t sweat the small stuff. Rule number two is, it’s all small stuff.” -Robert Eliot
“If you can’t sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It’s the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.” -Dale Carnegie
“A day of worry is more exhausting than a day of work.” -John Lubbock
“You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith.” -Mary Manin Morrissey
“Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere.” -Glenn Turner
“Faith isn’t faith until it’s all you’re holding onto.” -Unknown
“Faith is like electricity. You can’t see it, but you can see the light.” -Unknown
“Blessed is the person who is too busy to worry in the daytime and too sleepy to worry at night.” -Unknown

The Instagram acquisition is one of the largest in Facebook history, and according to Zuckerberg, the company does not plan on doing many more of these transactions, if any.

Zuckerberg also stated that the 30 million Instagram users on Android and iOS would still be able to post their photos on other social networks besides Facebook.
There are currently a plethora of Hip-Hop artists on Instagram, including Rick Ross (RichForever), Tyler the Creator (tylerthecreator), Cam’Ron (Mr_CamRon), Big K.R.I.T. (YoungKrizzle) Fabolous (MyFabolousLife),Snoop Dogg (SnoopDogg), and many others.

(AllHipHop News) Machine Gun Kelly recently sat with AllHipHop.com to discuss his collaboration with rap legend DMX, which will appear on MGK’s new album Lace Up.
The two recently teamed up in the recording studio to record for both of their new projects.

“He has a priceless story. I’m just saying be different,” Machine Gun Kelly told AllHipHop.com. “That was music I could run away to [when] me and my pops fell out.”
MGK addressed the topic on his song “The Return” from his. 2010 mixtape.
People wanna be my friend?/But where the f### were y’all when I was 10/eleven and twelve gettin bullied
and beat up in the gym/
I couldn’t ever get a girl
Now all a sudden I’m the man/
students try to get back cool with me again
DMX’s music, which has always been laced with spirituality, helped him through the tough times.
“When my mom left and all that other s**t, fights with kids at school, getting picked on, DMX was that man,” Machine Gun Kelly told AllHipHop.com.
“I always put on some DMX and imagined myself beating people up.”
