(AllHipHop News) The first single from Wiz Khalifa’s upcoming album, O.N.I.F.C., has officially been certified Gold after being released two months ago. “Work Hard Play Hard Is Officially Gold. Thank You Taylors!!!,” he tweeted yesterday.”

The single currently sits at #4 on iTunes Hip-Hop singles chart. Since his performance of “Work Hard Play Hard” at last week’s MTV Movie Awards, sales of the single have increased over 37 percent higher than the previous week, with close to 78,000 units sold. O.N.I.F.C. is set to be released on August 28.

It was announced earlier today (June 15) that Cash Money has added DJ Greg Street to their always expanding roster of talent. “I have never once doubted the power of Birdman and Slim, and the Cash Money empire as a whole,” Street said in a statement.

“My goal is to add in making Cash Money Records the first billion dollar independent label by putting major plays together for the brand, in and outside of selling records.”Cash Money president Bryan “Birdman” Williams said of Street, “Slim and I collaborated with him so often, we decided the next step would be to extend a deal to him that would allow him to bring his unique voice and perspective to both our label and publishing company.”

In recent months, Cash Money has added Limp Bizkit, Christina Milian, Busta Rhymes and DJ Khaled to their stable of artists. The label’s next releases are set to come from Bow Wow with his seventh studio album, Underrated, and Lil Wayne with I Am Not A Human Being 2.

ONE Distribution recently announced that footwear maker Supra would be entering into an exclusive partnership with rapper Lil Wayne. The deal will result in the release of a new footwear collection that is set to be inspired, designed, and overseen by both Wayne and the shoe-making company. Supra is set to debut the new line at the Project Trade Show in Las Vegas at the end of August according to High Snobiety.

This may or may not constitute a rumor, but I though I would give it a try. Amber Rose has reportedly taken to eBay to get rid of all the clothing that Kanye West got her. Now, I don’t follow her enough to know if these are Kanye-specific, but that is what the internets are saying. Anyway, basically Amber is in full marriage mode and is getting rid of all of her historical junk.

People are bidding to buy! Click here!

Here are some of my favorite fashion statements Amber has made and most don’t have anything to do with clothing.

Daily Word: Check Your Desires!!!

Bon jour, buenos días, buongiorno, guten Tag, يوم سعيد., 美好的一天, and all the hundreds of other ways to say good day!

Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to your desires! The level of success you have in life will all be determined by the strength of your desires! Simply put, if you don’t get it, then you didn’t want it bad enough! Some people wish for things, and hope that they come true, while others have deep desires and make them come true!

You can sit around and make excuses, or you can get busy working and make results! The limitations of life are all self-inflicted, and those who think otherwise are exactly who I’m speaking of! The moment you take responsibility for EVERY condition in your life is the day you become free to dictate a better circumstance! We don’t contemplate breathing, we don’t try and walk, we don’t hope to see… We just make it happen!

These are all things which are unalienable rights! Rights that cannot and should not be taken away!! The same is true for your desires!! Want what you want, but want it bad enough that you never allow excuses to get in the way! Remember: If you still have breath in your body, then you still have purpose!! Know what that is and get busy doing it!!

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: MOBILE

(AllHipHop News) Rapper REKS and producer Numonics have teamed to create the new album Rebelutionary, which will be released this July.

Rebelutionary follows REKS’ album Straight, No Chaser, with Statik Selektah.

On Rebelutionary, REKS and Numonics enlist artists like Jon Conner, Krondon and Termanology.

“Numonics is such a talent that I wasn’t concerned about following up Straight, No Chaser so quickly because the recording process was so smooth and I knew it was necessary now,” REKS said. “It was crazy that we could link up together on a project we both felt so passionate about; and one that is essential for today’s climate.”

REKS has amassed an impressive resume since his debut album Along Came The Chosen was released in 2001.

The rapper has worked with artists like DJ Premier, Large Professor, Sky Zoo, Pete Rock, Freeway, Styles P and numerous others.

“REKS and I made Rebelutionary to express the strong social and political views we both share. Inspired by great leaders like Fred Hampton and Malcolm X, the album sheds light on issues that need to be touched on at this time,” added Numonics. “Whether it’s institutionalized racism, or pointing out the hypocrisy of the establishment, REKS paints a vivid picture of the world we live in with this project. I feel blessed to have worked with such a strong and emerging voice in Hip-Hop and his immense talent shines throughout this project.”

Rebelutionary is due in stores on July 24.

Philadelphia Eagles' DeSean Jackson Dropping Hip-Hop Compilation

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: MOBILE

(AllHipHop News) Philadelphia Eagles’ star wide receiver DeSean Jackson is taking advantage of his downtime in the off-season, by expanding his Hip-Hop record label.
DeSean Jackson is the CEO of Jaccpot Records (the “two C” spelling is common amongst Crip gangmembers), which counts artists like Kid Cali, Young Bangg and Jackson himself, as acts on the roster.
Jackson, who recently signed an 5-year, $45 million deal with the Eagles, was recently in Los Angeles.
The artists on his roster shot videos for an upcoming Jaccpot Records compilation album.
“It’s just a different lifestyle and things like that I’m getting into,” DeSean Jackson told The Philadelphia Post. “Just kind of helping out my boys that I grew up with and just hopefully make it a career as far as rapping and things like that,” said the NFL star, who also raps on the compilation.
Those are around DeShawn Jackson are worried that the Eagles’ $45 million investment could be jeopardized by the Los Angeles native’s association with the genre of Hip-Hop.
“This is an unnecessary distraction in the prime of a promising football career,” a source close to Jackson told The Philadelphia Post. “If he stays on this course he could end up in significant financial distress.”
The Jaccpot Records compilation is due out in July.
