After more than 30 guest appearances on other artists’ albums and mixtapes, including “Run That Back” off of DJ Jazzy Jeff’s 2006 Return of the Magnificent album, Eshon Burgundy has released his debut album. Bld Rshn To My Head is the first offering by the Philly native, who has rocked stages in the U.S., Canada, and the UK with Mos Def, Roy Ayers, The Roots, Alicia Keys, Talib Kweli, Jazmine Sullivan, and more.

In 2008, after years of performing, Eshon decided to re-focus the vision of his music and concentrate on sharing hope and truth. With his faith at the helm, he began to release thought-provoking music, full of deep imagery, spiritual truths, and wit.

The lead single, “I Don’t Want You”, is accompanied by a black and white music video shot in his hometown of Philly. Check it below:

Hip-Hop Rumor Exclusive: Is Nicki Minaj Signing Foxy Brown?

Last night at the Roseland in NYC, Nicki Minaj made good on her promise and held a free concert in NYC. This concert was to make up for her Summer Jam no-show. As expected, Nicki had a gang of special guests, including the ill nana, Foxy Brown. If you remember, Nicki partied with Foxy the night she sh*tted on Hot 97 and Summer Jam 2012.

Anyway, it looks like Nicki Minaj has inspired Foxy to step back into the booth and record new music. Check out what she yelled on stage when Nicki brought her out:

I’m coming back,” Brown said. “My sister’s making sure. I’m coming back.” So is Nicki starting her own label and signing Foxy? Or is she bringing Foxy over to YMCMB? Nicki could just be helping her with her music. Who knows, but its good to see Foxy coming back – I hope she brings some heat. Are you excited to see Foxy Brown come back to the rap game?

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is There A Jay-Z Movie On The Way?

Is Jay-Z following in the footsteps of Eminem and 50 Cent and putting together a movie on his life? Sort of! According to the NY Post, Oscar winning Director Ron Howard and producer Brian Gazer will be filming Jigga’s “Made In America” music festival in Philadelphia. Whether it’s a documentary or an actual movie, we don’t know…but maybe this will be another “Back Stage” type of film. Check out what Brian Gazer told the NY Post below:

“The festival showcases 20 pre-eminent artists that speak to the new generation. I am producing the film with Steve Stoute and Jay. Ron is directing. It is going to be born through Jay-Z’s perspective . . . how he puts the event together.” Grazer added, “Jay stayed the king for a very long time . . . I can’t even begin to explain how he is capable of remaining relevant. He is a phenom, like a musical Michael Jordan.”

This sounds very exciting! The Budweiser sponsored festival is taking place on September 1-2 at Philly’s Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Fairmount Park. Everyone who’s anyone will be hitting that stage, including Drake, Rick Ross and Maybach Music Group Run-DMC, and even Pearl Jam.

The film is the brainchild of Jay-Z and Steve Stoute. Hov went out and got an Oscar winning director and producer – he does everything BIG! What type of footage do you think will be included in the doc-movie?

L.A. rapper Slim The Mobster went HAM on 50 Cent on Twitter yesterday, making allegations that 50 shut down the promotion of his music over at Interscope. In the epic Twitter rant, Slim acknowledged that what he was about to tweet could potentially get him dropped from his record deal. “Today I might get dropped,” tweeted Slim, “cuz I can no longer let these h### a-** straight n*gga’s get away with this sucker a** s-h*t.” Wow. Check out his tweets below:

What do you think Dr. Dre is going to say about all of this? Do you think Slim the Mobster just torpedoed his career?

50 Cent has yet to respond.

Grandmaster Mele Mel Tapped To Narrate Short Film On The Beatles

(AllHipHop News) The legendary voice of Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame rapper MC Grandmaster Mele Mel has been utilized for a new short-film on The Beatles, who are celebrating their 50th anniversary this week.

Mele Mel, a member of legendary Hip-Hop group The Furious 5, provides the narration for the short-film The Beatles at their Best, which was released to the public for free today (August 15), to commemorate the group’s anniversary.

The “Beatles at their Best” focuses on the early years of The Beatles, told from an alternate point of view.

“I wanted to narrate ‘The Beatles at their Best’ because like most people I was familiar with the Beatles, but after learning more about their early years, I found it to be one of most interesting, intriguing and under reported stories in the history of music,” Grandmaster Mele Mel told AllHipHop.com in a statement.

The Beatles consisted of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, who replaced the group’s original drummer, Pete Best, for reasons that are still speculated upon, to this very day.

Some claim Pete Best was fired due to his popularity with young female fans, while others claimed the drummer simply did not fit in with the group.

Either way, Mele Mel is calling on the surviving Beatles (Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr) to host an “ex-Beatles Beer Summit” to bring closure to the situation with Pete Best.

“After all these years, it would nice to put these guys together for a hand shake, maybe throw down a beer and bring some finality to this issue,” Mele Mel told AllHipHop.com. “Show that there are no hard feelings, everybody learned something and it all worked out in the end. I think that’s something that all true Beatles fans, especially those familiar with the story, would like to see.”
