Hip-Hop Rumors: Karrine Steffans Reveals What Lil Wayne Is Up To!
Lil Wayne and Karrine are BACK!
Wayne has been under attack and finally some good news for him.
Not a whole lot to report, but basically she is with Wayne in the studio and pushing that he’s WORKING! In one pic, she said “Writing. No paper. No pen. No fukking iPhone. #martian” MAnnnnnnnn…some people need to write. I have very little to say about this. But, I am going to admit to something. My feelings to Karrine are easing up. I was once pretty hostile towards her, but now…she ain’t so bad. I think she was just doing what she had to do with that book, which is all that most of us do. Seems like she and Wayne got something special. Her instagram account says a lot. Here is something she said about her “loves,” which I imagine includes Wayne.
“No man is an island and no one is independent. We are affected by those we love. Some more than others. I thank God for my loves and for what they have taught me. I love being determined, enhanced, and even diminished by those loves. Shows I’m alive. I’m human and I’m still here. Thank The Lord for that.”
Here is the pic.
Unfortunately….good news for Weezy is bad news for the family of Emmett Till. Wayne said sorry to Lebron James and not them. That Illuminati is STRONG ARM STEADY WITH IT! At least he has a girl that he loves.
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry! -illseed.
Illseed, Out.

Future Continues Billboard Dominance, Plans To Work With JLo
(AllHipHop News) Future’s ascension from being a burgeoning artist complaining about being snubbed by Drake to being the go-to guy in Hip-Hop and R&B in less than two years is shocking. The once unknown member of Outkast affiliate Dungeon Family now is apart of 16 songs on six different Billboard charts.
This week alone, the singer/rapper aficionado Lil Wayne’s “Love Me” single with Future and Drake is #4 on the Rap Songs chart, his duet with Rihanna on “Loveeee Song” is #6 on Billboard Hip Hop/R&B chart and his own single “Neva End” featuring Kelly Rowland sits at #6 on R&B/HipHop Airplay Charts.

Garnering this level of success came from networking and smart collaborations, a tried and true method he continues with a planned collaboration with one of the biggest names in music.
The Freebandz Record CEO is not only penning songs for the former American Idol judge’s first album in over two years but also producing and will be featured on the album. Future has also been logging in time in the studio with other acts such as Monica, Shakira, Usher and his rumored girlfriend Ciara. Future recently released the mixtape FBG: The Movie and plans on collaborating with Kanye West, Rihanna, Timbaland and more for his follow up to Pluto and Pluto 3D, entitled Future Hendrix.

‘Album of the Year’ Folk Band Mumford & Sons To Do Hip-Hop Album
(AllHipHop News) Fresh off defeating Hip-Hop’s golden boy Frank Ocean’s masterful Channel Orange for “Album of the Year” at the 2013 Grammy Awards the English folk band wants to follow up 2012’s megahit Babel with different genre influences.
“We really want to rap,” lead vocalist Marcus Mumford tells Rolling Stone in a recent interview “We’ve just got so much to say – saying it through a melody doesn’t really work for me.” The West London collective are working on their third album and wants to “do something that’s a cousin” to the indie folk/bluegrass sound that populated their first two LPs according to Mumford.
The band have been taking this idea more seriously than a simple pet project with the band admitting to rapping during practice sessions and even consulting a Hip Hop demigod for guidance.
“We’ve been talking with Jay-Z about it, you know. It’s gonna be a fresh experience for our band,” Mumford said.
Babel was recorded in a little over a year and the band expects a longer process for the new album. “It might take a few more years than it took to make Babel.”It might take a few more years than it took to make Babel,” says band member Winston Marshall.

Philly Loves J Dilla: Questlove Spins J Dilla Classics and Reworked Beats
Last night Questlove from the legendary The Roots crew honored the late J Dilla with a DJ set. Following up epic sets from DJ Rich Medina and Mike Nyce, Questlove ran through a host of J Dilla’s greatest hits, as painters Ameerah, K Art and Chuck Style created visuals of J Dilla himself.
In addition to the DJing and painting, there was also a raffle for a poster honoring J Dilla with all proceeds being donated to the Lupus Foundation of America.
From his work with Slum Village to his music with The Pharcyde’sLabcabincalifornia, to A Tribe Called Quest’s Beats, Rhymes and Life to Common’s Like Water for Chocolate, J Dilla was remembered by Philly in his greatest light.
As video from Visualeyz flashed across the screen and Yameen Allworld hosted, a packed house enjoyed Questlove’s set that drew from a vault of more than 100 songs that The Roots have been working on during their lunch breaks on Jimmy Fallon’s late night show.
“Two years ago we decided to do ‘Lunch with Dilla Hour’ which is like knock off like 3 or 4 Dilla joints a day or like 9 to 12 tracks a week. So all these beats that you are listening to are all beats that J Dilla has made and the Roots have done over again. I know you heard some of this s### on YouTube, but this is a passion project, this s### aint about putting out records. This is how we spend our lunch hour,” Questlove told a sold out crowd at Johnny Brenda’s in Philadelphia.

(AllHipHop News) This week, New Orleans rapper Fiend aka “International Jones,” spoke with AllHipHop.com about his upcoming project Lil’ Ghetto Boy, set to be released on March 4.
While many Hip-Hop fans remember Fiend from his Billboard chart topping albums Street Life and Theres’s One in Every Family, released on Master P’s No Limit Records, over the last few years, Fiend has developed whole new generation of fans with Curren$y’s Jet Life family.
Performing with the Jet Life crew at as many as 60 tour dates a year, Fiend is enjoying the success of sold out shows and fans that always come with “gifts” to roll up.
“I’ve been enjoying it, you know I had a chance to experiment and do something different under the name of International Jones. To get on a tour, and connect with Hip-Hop fans at a different age group, you know? That is an honor,” Fiend told AllHipHop.com
[ALSO WATCH: Fiend “Blue White and Red” (Video Premiere)]
“A person nowadays between the ages of 13 and whatever, they don’t have the patience for too much of nothing. And these kids, these Jet Life fans and these Taylor Gang fans I got a chance to connect to people that didn’t know me and re-connect with people that knew me with No Limit and my own label and the Ruff Ryder label and whatever I did,” he said.
But now Fiend has something new for fans called Lil’ Ghetto Boy, a project based on the “perspective of little ghetto boys.” The album that kicks off with the release of his new video, “Blue, White, Red”
“It’s not the red, white and blue; it’s the blue, white and red,” International Jones explained of the little ghetto boy’s perspective. “Man this gotta be the best video I’ve done up to date. This video represents Congo Square in rap form. I feel like I’m somewhat the first of my kind to do whats happening in this video and whats going on and I hope it can just make everyone just add some coolness to this. Hip-Hop shall live on.”
