(AllHipHop News) Grammy nominated producer Vidal Davis hosted a meet and greet for various media figures to kick off the “Budweiser Made in America Festival.”

Marsha Ambrosious, producer Sterling Simms, Vidal and others discussed the Philly music scene at legendary studio, Sigma Sounds.

Combined, the artists/producers have worker with artists like Jay-Z, Michael Jackson, Usher, Ludacris, Tupac Shakur and others.

The trio discussed Philadelphia’s role in the music industry.

“I didn’t choose New York, I didn’t choose Los Angeles. I didn’t even choose Philadelphia, Philadelphia chose me. Here I am 12 years later. Philadelphia is a city where you don’t have to try, you can just be who you are.”

According to Vidal Davis, the Philly music scene is very vibrant, having produced acts like The Roots, Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, Will Smith, Tone Trump, Young Savage, Chill Moody, Eve, DJ Drama, Meek Mill and others.

“It just let’s you know the artists here have staying power,” Vidal told AllHipHop.com. “The Hip-Hop scene in Philly is doing very well. For awhile the emcees weren’t being recognized for their talent by the industry. A light is really starting to shine on the city.”

The producers revealed that their new artist Young Savage will be joining select dates on the OMG Tour in the coming weeks.

The “Budweiser Made In America festival” kicks off tomorrow (September 1) in Philadelphia.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is 50 Cent Bailing On His Headphones Company?

By: ginatorres27 Updated Aug 31, 2012 at 2:34pmCategory: MOBILE

It looks like 50 Cent is having some trouble with Bradenton company aka Sleek Audio, LLC, the company he partnered with for his “Sleek by 50” wireless headphones. 50 Cent has officially filed a lawsuit against the company for $285,000, the amount he invested in the company as well as an additional $61,429 in back interest and an additional 15 percent for any debt as well as reimbursement for his legal fees.

According to the Miami Herald, the company is claiming that 50 defrauded them when he took their idea to a competitor, SMS Audio. According to the lawsuit, “Sleek would have never borrowed money from Jackson or allowed him to invest in its company had it known that Jackson would ultimately use this tactic (of misusing the money) to steal its design, technology and headphones,” the company said in an un-sworn court statement.

If 50 did take their technology to a competitor, that pretty shady. Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, the owners of Beats By Dre can rest easy, it looks like 50 Cent is out of the headphone game.

Sidenote – 50 Cent released a statement today regarding the tragic death of his manager, Chris Lighty. Below is the statement he released to Billboard Biz:

“Chris has been an important part of my business and personal growth for a decade,” said 50 Cent in a statement through his publicist. “He was a good friend and advisor who helped me develop as an artist and businessman. My prayers are with his family. He will be greatly missed.”
