Ty Fyffe Gives New Rappers A Shot On ‘Raw N’ Uncut’

(AllHipHop News) Producer Ty Fyffe will give upcoming artists from across the world an opportunity to appear on his new upcoming album, Raw N’ Uncut.

Ty Fyffe is a well known producer who has crafted hit singles for artists like Jay-Z, Drake, 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, LL Cool J and many others. “As we are aware, Hip-Hop’s inception may have been on the streets of New York City, but today it has no boundaries and I hope artists overseas see how being involved in this competition can put them in front of a totally different audience,”

Ty Fyffe told AllHipHop.com. Aspiring rappers can visit the producer’s official website www.tyfyffe.com and select a “survival kit” to record a song for submission. If the track is selected, it will be featured on Raw N’ Uncut, an album produced by Ty Fyffe and hosted by DJ Kay Slay.

The project will then be distributed over the Internet as a free download.

“This is a chance of a life-time and I am not into co-signing just anything,” Kay Slay added.

The first single from Raw N’ Uncut will be premiered on DJ Kay Slay’s Shade 45 show Street Sweepers Radio in addition to his Drama Hour show on Hot 97. The single will also be promoted by Digiwaxx, a popular service that delivers new music into the hands of tens of thousands of DJ’s and tastemakers across the world. Ty Fyffe and DJ Superstar Jay recently released their mixtape, The Pyrex: A Prelude to Raw N’ Uncut, which features 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Jadakiss, Busta Rhymes, Rakim and others.

Charlotte Hip-Hop The Focus Of ‘Crown Royalty’

(AllHipHop News) The Charlotte Hip-Hop community will be the focus of a new movie that will premiere this Friday (February 26th) titled Crown Royalty: The History of Charlotte Hip-Hop.

A red carpet screening for the movie will take place during CIAA Weekend at the Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte. Crown Royalty examines The Queen City’s Hip-Hop scene by interviewing local artists, labels, personalities and landmarks.

“Charlotte’s Hip-Hop scene is like so many other places that I’ve seen in my travels,” director Mehka told AllHipHop.com. “They have their own style and celebrities, but have yet to break into the mainstream largely in part to its location and small town perception.”

The goal of Crown Royalty is to expose Charlotte’s thriving music scene, which Mehka believes has been unfairly overlooked. “I hope this documentary shines a spotlight not only Charlotte, North Carolina but all the ‘Charlottes’ of the world,” director Mehka explained to AllHipHop.com.

Local artists like Diggie Die of Liquor House Records, Ike Turnah, Big Treal, Tiny T, Wolly Vinyl and Kam Moye, Royal-Tee, Maui, The Transfers, Sonny Rich and other Charlotte rappers are featured in the flick.

Previous report.Rapper Yung Berg was one of the victims of a robbery in a posh Los Angeles neighborhood early Sunday morning (February 21).

As AllHipHop.com reported earlier this week, police are investigating the home invasion -style robbery, which took place in Woodland Hills, California.

Police were called to the house around 2:00 AM Sunday morning. Four women were hosting the party when two armed men knocked on the door and forced their way into the home with two gun wielding female accomplices.

Two women inside the home were also pistol whipped by the male intruders, while Yung Berg and seven others in the house were relieved of almost $10,000 in jewelry.

One of the women managed to escape and call police during the robbery.

Yung Berg, born Christian Ward, denied the allegations. A rep told TMZ.com that Yung Berg had been in Las Vegas the entire weekend.

The rep was also allegedly unaware of the incident.

Police seek a black man and a woman who wore dark hooded sweatshirts and another female who wore a red sweatshirt.

Cam Rebuilds Dipset; Signs Rapper Hunnedstack P.

(AllHipHop News) Cam’ron continues to rebuild his Diplomats crew on the West coast, with the signing of Inglewood, California rapper Hunnedstack P. His first release will be titled Nuclear Weapons, which will be hosted by Diplomats own, Duke Da God. Nuclear Weapons is Hunned Stack’s first official full length release for Dipset West, although he had made appearances on Dipset West’s first two street albums, World Domination and Global Warming.

“Hunnedstack has an album full of classics,” Dipset West’s CEO Omar “Iceman” Sharif told AllHipHop.com. “He’s a sure winner. Hunnedstack is not your average West coast rapper. He has a missing piece that it takes to bring the West coast back. With Cam’ron and Iceman on his side, he has a sure one way ticket to the top and his destiny is for greatness.”

In July of 2009, Cam’ron announced that he formed a new company and group named The U.N. in addition to forming a new Dipset division without original group members Jim Jones and Juelz Santana.

His new company encompasses film, music and DVD, in addition to the latest incarnation of The Dipset movement.

Over the last three years, Cam has been relatively quite, although he has stayed busy in the recording studio, by laying down over 150 songs.

Some of those tracks will surface on March 23rd, when The U.N. drops their debut album Gunz N Butta.
