Rapper Jim Jones will join Hot 97 community activist/radio personality Lisa Evers for the third “Push for Peace” concert tomorrow (August 25).

The third “Push for Peace” concert will take place in Harlem, for the first time.

The goal of the concert is to empower young people, in addition to developing conflict resolution skills as an alternative to violence.

“We’ve seen a rash of gun violence this summer. Many of the victims and the shooters are teens and young adults,” Lisa Evers said. “We are using the unique power of Hot 97 to reach out and talk with our young people, and to show them that there are many in the community ready and willing to help them turn their lives in a productive direction. Our Push 4 Peace show and festival is a fun way to give them a voice and let them know they’re not in this alone.”

The free event will feature workshops, a town hall meeting, an open mic competition and other community-oriented events.

In addition to Lisa Evers and Jim Jones, a variety of rappers, activists and supporters will attend the event, which is being sponsored by HOT 97 and New York City Correction Officers Benevolent Association President Norman Seabrook.

“Gun violence is out of control in this city and in this country,” added Norman Seabrook, President of the Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association. “I have personally witnessed the pain of my members whose children have been shot dead in our streets and that’s why I’m proud to announce that COBA is once again teaming up with Hot 97 and Lisa Evers to bring the Push for Peace event to Harlem.”

The “Push for Peace” show takes place on Saturday, August 25th from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Wadleigh High School for Performing Arts in Harlem.p

(AllHipHop News) New Orleans-bred Cash Money/Young Money CEO Lil Wayne recently took to Twitter to announce the long-awaited release date for the fourth installment in his dedication series.

Dedication 4 will release on August 30, nearly two weeks after the previously anticipated release date of August 15.

As an ode to fellow rapper 2 Chainz, Lil’ Wayne decided to push the date back on his project to give fans a chance to get 2 Chainz effort Based On A T.R.U. Story.

In a viral video released last week, Lil Wayne explained that he hasn’t been as focused on music, as he has been focused on skating and other activities.

“I ain’t finished that mother—er. I’ve been skating and sh–, falling and sh– and all that type of sh–, but I’ll give it to you like, next week. Stop trippin’ pimp,” Lil Wayne told fans on his “Dedikation Update.”

No official tracklist has been revealed for the project yet.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Gucci Mane's Ice Cream Cone Face Tat Gone?

A curious thing happened last night. I was on Twitter and caught a very random moment between Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur), CEO of AllHipHop, and Biba “@BibaTheDiva” Adams. The two were talking about Gucci Mane and whether or not he still had that infamous face tattoo. Gucci has not been in the limelight for quite some time, but you cannot forget that sight, can you? Peep:

For those that don’t know, Biba is AHH’s senior contributor down in Atlanta and she is up on that scene. So if she thinks Gucci’s Ice Cream cone is going going and almost gone, I’m inclined to believe. Perhaps this can bring him back? At one time, he was nipping on Jeezy’s heels, but now Waka is the bigger star.

Do you want Gucci back?

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony recently performed a reunion show at the San Bernadino, California stop for the “Rock The Bells” tours. The crowd was extremely excited to see them, and they did not disappoint.

After the show, Bizzy Bone did an interview with DivaWhispers and spoke about rap legends of rap, Eazy E, Biggie, and Tupac. The interview was great, but Bizzy Bone looks to be allegedly high off of something. Check out the video below and speak on it.

So is it a Molly, alcohol? What is Bizzy Bone on?

(AllHipHop News) Jay-Z has dumped a lawsuit that stemmed over a recipe for chicken wings at his 40/40 Club in New York City.

Originally, Jay-Z had filed a the $1.5 million federal after chef Mike Shand was hired to overhaul the menu of the 40/40 Club. Shand eventually left the establishment and took several recipes with him, including the chicken wing.

Shand’s lawyer Vik Pawar told the New York Post, “The spice-mix recipe that Mike developed is his own recipe. 40/40 terminated him, then had the audacity to sue him for the recipe.”

Pawar also said that the sue has been dropped. Still, he said that his client may pursue his own legal action against Jay-Z and 40/40.

“We still may sue the club for defamation of character and for the return of his possessions, including his laptop, which the club still has,” Pawar said.

At press time, there was no comment by Jay-Z or reps for 40/40.

Shand started out his relationship with the 40/40 Club as the personal chef for Jay-Z and Beyonce.
