EXCLUSIVE: Juvenile To Collaborate With Lil Wayne On “Rejuvenation”; Talks Hot Boys Reunion

By: JP DelaCuesta (@JPdelacuesta)Category: MOBILE

(AllHipHop News) Juvenile returned to S.O.B.’s in New York City recently for his first solo performance in eight years, where he not only performed some of hits, but he brought the energy to a packed house of his biggest East Coast fans.

Juvenile left his recording home of Cash Money Records in 2003, following the release of his platinum-certified sixth studio album, Juve the Great, to create his own label, UTP.

Ties with Cash Money were never fully severed, however, as Juvenile, with hits like “Back That Azz Up,” “Slow Motion,” and “Ha,” has gone on record with AllHipHop.com to say that he will be working with Lil Wayne on his upcoming 10th studio album, Rejuvenation, along with DJ Khaled and Drake.

Having been pushed back several times, Rejuvenation’s delays may have been made so Juvenile can secure other heavy-hitters such as Jadakiss, Jay-Z, and Jay Electronica, who Juve told XXL is “off the muthaf*ckin’ chain.”

Currently, Rejuvenation is scheduled for a June 19 release on UTP/Rap-A-Lot/Young Empire.

In addition to the news about the album features, Juvenile briefly spoke to AllHipHop.com about the long-gestating Hot Boys reunion rumors – despite Cash Money co-founder Bryan “Birdman” Williams recently telling GlobalGrind that the reunion “isn’t on my radar.”

The Hot Boys, which consisted of Juvenile, B.G., Lil Wayne, and Turk, were one of Cash Money’s biggest draws in the late ’90s and early ’00s, and they released three albums together during their six-year relationship. The group officially disbanded in 2001 but made appearances together several years later.

Is R. Kelly’s Latest Video Going Too Far and Familiar?

By: @KareemTaylorCategory: Alternatives

He puts the ‘R’ in R&B. He stated that years ago. Recently, the Pied Piper, R. Kelly, released his latest video for his song, “It’s On”, featuring Ace Hood & DJ Khaled.

With over 35 million albums sold, the usually, innovative 45-year-old singer has found himself mimicking the sounds of today. In his latest effort, it sounds like a Drake summertime song. Just saying.

Jimi Hendrix Estate Opposes Biopic Starring Andre 3000

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

(AllHipHop News)A highly anticipated biopic about Jimi Hendrix’s life in Europe that was to star Andre 3000, could be delayed by the late singer’s estate.

Experience Hendrix LLC issued a statement to the Wall Street Journal, stating that the movie “All Is By My Side,” could not be made without their full participation.

The flick is supposed to start shooting later this month at locations in Ireland.

“Experience Hendrix has made it known many times in the past that no such film, were it to include original music or copyrights created by Jimi Hendrix, can be undertaken without its full participation.”

Jimi Hendrix’s sister Janie Hendrix, who is the CEO of the famed singer’s estate, has not ruled out a biopic about the singer in the future.

A number of Jimi Hendrix’ memorable hits are included on his debut album, Are You Experienced, which was created during the time period that the Andre 3000’s movie would have focused on.

They were not clear if “All Is By My Side” starring Andre 3000, would include any original material created by Jimi Hendrix.

“Experience Hendrix CEO Janie Hendrix, sister of Jimi Hendrix, and the EH board have not ruled out a ‘biopic’ in the future though producing partners would, out of necessity, have to involve the company from the inception of any such film project if it is to include original Jimi Hendrix music or compositions.”
