Rapper Young Vito is being sought in connection with the shooting death of Slim Dunkin, who was killed in an Atlanta studio last Friday (December 16).

Police believe Young Vito shot Slim Dunkin in the chest, during an altercation that allegedly started over a piece of candy.

Atlanta police have urged the 28-year-old suspect born, Vinson Hardimon, to turn himself in immediately for his own safety.

“We are urging Mr. Hardimon to turn himself in to authorities because we have reason to believe he may be in danger,” police said in a statement released to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Police are urging the public to help find Young Vito, by calling the tip line or homicide unit at 404-577-TIPS (8477).

The news comes on the eve of Slim Dunkin’s funeral.

The rapper, born Mario Hamilton, will be laid to rest during a lavish ceremony at Berean Christian Church, funded in part by 1017 Brick Squad affiliates Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Flame.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Kanye West & Jay-Z Caught Stealing Sheree from the Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Catch Phrase????

By: ginatorres27Category: RumorsDecember 22, 2011

Sheree Whitfield, the hottie from the Real Housewives of Atlanta, made the reality tv hall of fame when she uttered the catch phrase “Who Gon’ Check Me, Boo?” during a heated argument with an event planner last season.

A version of the phrase seemed to make its way onto Jay-Z and Kanye West’s smash album “Watch the Throne”. The song “Who Gon’ Stop Me” sounds eerily close to Sheree’s “Who Gon’ Check Me, Boo?” Hmmm, have Kanye and Jay-Z been watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta in their spare time?

AllHipHop.com’s Seandra Sims played the track for Sheree and got a hilarious reaction from the diva, who admitted that the track sounded similar. Check out the video below to watch Sheree’s reaction.

Somebody get this chick a lawyer quick! She may have some royalties coming her way!

2011’s West Coast MVP Speaks on Project With J. Cole…

In addition to yesterday’s quickie about Kendrick Lamar hooking up with Just Blaze, Dre, and Pete Rock for his album, he also revealed to XXL that he and 2011 Grammy-nominee for Best New Artist, J. Cole, do have a collaboration project in the pipeline:

“We’re still trying to formulate it and sit down in a neutral zone, where either one of us is moving and doing shows, interviews and press all the time. We want to lock ourselves in the studio and make it right. We got songs where we can actually formulate something, but we want it to be right.”

K. Dot is on fire right now, and 2012 is going to be one hell of a year for the Compton MC!

Diddy’s Done Vodka…What’s Next? Tequila!

In a recent interview with AdWeek, Diddy was asked about his future endeavors within the alcohol/beverage industry:

“I have been spending some time in Mexico learning about the art of tequila. I’m a huge tequila fan.”

Patron, Avion, Jose Cuervo, watch your backs! Diddy is coming for you!

Bieber, The Rapper, Strikes Again!

Rumor has it that the Biebs will be doing a fair share of rapping on his next album, which will be more Hip-Hop and Electronic influenced then his past music. Hmmm. OK. Thoughts?
