Peace and Blessings, my Blessed and Highly Favored!! Welcome to the end of a wonderful week, and the beginning of the rest of your life! Starting today, I need you to always be thankful for EVERY aspect of your life! Your good times, your bad times, your triumphs, your fails, your victory, your defeats, your abundance, your struggles!!

Everything has its place, and always remember that it all happens for a reason! You can’t have faith and be a worrier at the same time! Have faith that everything that has happened in your life has brought you to this point….. and at this point, you can decide to move in the right direction and make life greater!

Those who don’t see the goodness in everything are in danger of allowing their blessings to just pass them by! You are blessed beyond comprehension, and regardless of your situation, you have everything to be thankful for! As you read this next sentence, I need you to begin to think about all the things you are grateful for, and immediately begin to tell your higher power thank you!!

Whether you believe in God, Allah, Buddha, or the Universe…something is watching over you, and you must not take that for granted!! Appreciate all you have, and everything you ever wanted will be at your disposal!! The world is YOURS and the more your realize that, the more you will KNOW that NOTHING CAN STOP YOU!!!!

Forget about tennis. Serena Williams is now trying to master the sport of….rap! Ms. New Booty has just released her debut record, and I guess she picked up a flow or two from Drake and Common, because lil’ mama is actually doing her thing. On the track, Serena raps:

“I ball hard, no tennis racket/ I can’t see these haters through my Gucci glasses/ I make hits like batting practice/They be like Serena/ is you really rapping?”

TMZ got the scoop last year when Serena laid down some tracks at a recording studio owned by Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle, Bryant McKinnie. Now, one of the tracks has finally surfaced, and you can jam out to it here.

Brother Ali has got something to say, and you’d be wise to hear it, all of it. The 34-year-old albino rapper from Minneapolis has made a living off of his introspective and heartfelt lyrics, as well as his pure musicianship as one of the most respected MCs on the independent scene.

After releasing The Bite-Marked Heart on Rhymesayers Entertainment in early February, Ali set his attentions on finding the perfect band to back him during his live performances, and debuted them to an overwhelming reaction at the 2012 South By Southwest (SXSW) Music and Film Festival in Austin, Texas, this past March.

AllHipHop.com caught up with Ali after one of his stellar performances, and asked the man from Minneapolis to dissect his writing and recording process, as well as explain to us how he deals with writer’s block, or what he more commonly refers to as “heart block.”

Ali also spoke to us about his socially-charged, fifth studio album, Mourning In America and Dreaming In Color, which he currently has on deck for release this August, along with a host of other topics including Jake One, being creative, his favorite tracks, and much more.

(AllHipHop News) Popular North Carolina DJ Waleed Coyote is involved in a dispute with WWE wrestling superstar, Chris Jericho.

Waleed Coyote, who broadcasts on 102 Jams in Greensboro, was involved in a verbal altercation with Chris Jericho at “The Treasure Club,” in the early hours of May 7.

AllHipHop.com’s Rumors section reported that Chris Jericho became enraged and took a man’s phone, after he supposedly took a picture of him in the club.

He allegedly became involved in an altercation with a man who turned out to be popular personality Waleed Coyote, who is also CEO of Othaz Records and President of the Slip-N-Slide DJ coalition.

Now, Waleed is challenging Chris Jericho to a three-on-three match to settle the dispute.

“The thing that bothered me about this dude is that we weren’t formerly introduced and he acted out of line and you can’t do that in North Carolina,” Waleed Coyote told AllHipHop.com. “He would have done that to anyone in this state and you can’t do that.”

When Waleed and Chris Jericho were involved in their verbal confrontation, Jericho was accompanied by wrestler R. Truth, as well as a WWE referee.

Waleed Coyote, whose song “DJ Hero” with P. Wonda is getting air around the country, is challenging all three men to meet him in the ring.

Waleed said he will bring two men to compete in a 3-on-3 “No Rules” match.

“It was him [Jericho] the ref and R. Truth who wanted to pop off at me and my cousin and I don’t fight, but this time it’s different,” Waleed told AllHipHop.com.

According to Waleed, he will donate the proceeds of any such match to music charities throughout the state of North Carolina.

Reps for Chris Jericho could not be reached as of press time.
