(AllHipHop News) Rapper Lil Wayne may not be a fan of New York, but that has not stopped Fat Joe from uniting Brooklyn rapper A$AP Rocky, Bronx rapper French Montana and the New Orleans’ vet, on one new track.
Earlier this week, Fat Joe dropped his new single “Yellow Tape” which features the respected group of rappers.
“I wanted to make a record that would go in the clubs, so we flipped the sample from ‘Ante Up,’ which is one of the most legendary Hip-Hop songs of all time. The record is produced by Infared and Illa and arranged by RoJ & T######, they remade the beat from scratch and brought it up to speed to what’s going on in 2012.”
The collaboration should squash any doubts Lil Wayne may have caused about working with New Yorker rappers, after his controversial remarks about not being fond of the city of New York.
A video for “Yellow Tape” is slated to debut on Monday (November 5).
In a pivotal election season, every supporter and every vote counts. And sometimes, the support comes from the most unlikely of places!
Mimi Faust and Ariane Davis from VH1’s uber-popular “Love & Hip-Hop” reality series are helping The League of Young Voters hit the “hot spots” in Milwaukee where the political commentary REALLY happens – the barbershops, beauty salons, and beyond.

Bow Wow has taken over hosting duties as one of four new hosts on BET’s “106 & Park”, but according to an inside source, the ratings have allegedly been lackluster. So what is a Hip-Hop artist/TV host to do? Hmm, perhaps he would call up one of his rap homeboys and start a fake Twitter beef? Then invite said rapper – a.k.a. Soulja Boy – onto your new show for a confrontation. Sounds genius!
Now, I’m not sure if this is the case, but as online savvy as Bow Wow and Soulja Boy are, I wouldn’t put it past them. Soulja Boy berated Boy Wow over Twitter, first calling him “broke” and then following up that tweet promoting his appearance on “106 & Park”. How convenient. Check out the tweets from Soulja Boy below:
Bow Wow played it cool (probably because he’s in on it), and responded as politically correct as he knows how:
Soulja Boy stayed on script and continued going in on Bow Wow, calling him “lame” and even challenging him to a fight.
Maybe the fight will go down on “106 & Park”?! Maybe that’s exactly what Bow Wow and Soulja Boy want us to think so we can tune in to the show. Who knows? I tell you one thing, though, they pulled me in. I’ll definitely be watching!

“When I was working on Recovery I was introduced to Skylar by Alex Da Kid and I was blown away with her talent as both a songwriter and vocalist,” Eminem said. “This album is really going to give her a chance to connect with the fans who probably know her music, but might not know her yet. I think they will be as impressed as I am.”
The first single from Don’t Look Down is titled “C’mon Let Me Ride” which features Eminem.

“C’mon Let Me Ride” was produced by Alex Da Kid and mixed by Eminem and Alex Da Kid.
“Skylar is one of the first artists that I worked with in a meaningful way. I was immediately impressed with her vision, fearlessness, artistic talent and overall musicianship. I was determined to make her the first artist signed to KIDinaKORNER. KIDinaKORNER was founded on the principals of signing innovative artists that have the ability to blur our perceptions of genres. To me, Skylar Grey represents the embodiment of this princi”

(AllHipHop News) Southern Smoke CEO DJ Smallz is setting his sights on signing a female DJ, via a new, nationwide contest.
DJ Smallz is looking for a female DJ to open up for his performances nationwide at venues that have already been booked.
According to DJ Smallz, he wants to develop the market for female DJs under his Southern Smoke imprint.
“It’s no secret Nicki Minaj’s accolades and endeavors in the past few years have sparked a huge resurgence in the growth of females within the Hip-Hop community. As I look back and think about how few female DJs there are in Hip-Hop, I decided to contribute to its growth by searching for one, adding her to the brand and doing my part, to give those females interested in the art of djing a bigger avenue and platform, by endorsing one of their own.”
Competitors for DJ Smallz’ contest must be 18 years or older, have a fundamental understanding of DJ culture, know a wide variety of music, embody a personality and last and most importantly, be able to move the crowd.
Those interested should apply at www.DJSmallz.com/femalesearch before Midnight EST on November 30th, 2012.
Three competitors will then be selected and flown to a random event to open up and perform for DJ Smallz.
The winner of the competition will be announced at DJ Smallz’ New Years Eve Event this year.
Hard punches, outrageous brags, menacing stature, and of course, the trademark lisp. These are the traits that made Brooklyn, New York’s Mike Tyson one of the most electric personalities in recent memory. And Sean Price’s Mic Tyson embodies all of it.
Over gritty bass and sped up looping samples, “Bar-Barian” sets the tone for the first round of word whooping. But, just like how the former heavyweight champion would toy with his prey, Price seems to toy with DJ Premier-sounding boom bap and scratches from upcoming producer Amp on the track “Pyrex”. One moment, he’s throw hard-hitting haymakers (“I pull a pound on a Ronald McDonald/you happy meal n***a with a toy in the box/ I clap a steel n***a put your boy in a box..P!”), and in the next verse, he throws some light jabs that might seem like freestyles (“I don’t even like you/…I don’t even want to fight you”).
By the time “Title Track” comes on, it becomes apparent that the first three tracks were only sparring sessions for the Brownsville bully. Over Eric G’s laser sound-effects and triumph keys, Price sends verbal blows designed to knock out ex-popping and bright color shopping MCs. Horror-core schemes strike at the seams on the Alchemist produced single “S###”, and the Eric G-produced “Solomon Grundy” – which both sound as though they could be on the soundtrack to a Michael Myers massacre. On the latter, Eric G’s organ and harpsichord is beaten into a blood pulp with Pun-like multi-syllabics by Non-Phixon’s Ill Bill, which leaves goosebumps (“I’m the lightning that the Viking’s worship/Recital when the rifles bursting/Writes a versive I been a decisive person”)
But, as great as a fight Mic Tyson puts up, not all of its punches land.
The Buckshot assisted “Frankenberry” finds the Duck Down label mates trading light punches that require no rewind value, but Price finds his inner villain once again with “Barbecue Sauce“ and “Bully Rap”. On “Mic Tyson”, Price’s punchlines are menacing yet encased in a playful personality and lisps that pummels the eardrum. Listen with caution. Ears are likely to be bitten off.
