AllHipHop.com has confirmed reports of a second altercation between DJ Drama’s Aphilliates and members of the CTE family.

According to Aphilliates Music Group president La The Darkman, DJ Drama was assaulted by members of Young Jeezy’s entourage last night (January 12), yet walked away from the incident unscathed.

“There was a little scuffle. At a movie screening,” La told AllHipHop.com, “A little thing that got handled. Fake thugs with low self esteem want to pick on the DJ’s. We definitely didn’t initiate this though. DJs don’t go looking for beef with fake gangstas.”

The statement comes after several reports surfaced of a squirmish between the crews last night during a screening of Notorious in the posh Buckhead section of Atlanta.

The fight comes two months after La himself clashed with members of CTE outside of Radio One’s Dirty Awards in November.

Both he and CTE recording artist Roccett addressed the situation, explaining that the argument was a result of comments made by Young Jeezy during a video interview.

The widely circulated clip shows Jeezy surprisingly speaking ill of Drama, with whom he found tremendous success on the Gangsta Grillz mixtape Trap or Die.

The collaboration was arguably Jeezy’s introduction to a national audience.

When the interview first surfaced, DJ Drama responded saying that it had to be some misunderstanding or misinterpretation.

DJ Drama also confirmed the scuffle, while representatives for Young Jeezy informed AllHipHop.com that the rapper was in the recording studio when the incident took place.

Preparations are underway for the Snoop Youth Football League’s Snoop Bowl VII, which will take place this month in Tampa the day before Super Bowl XLIII.

Approximately 350 children in the Tampa Bay area tried out Sunday (January 11) for the opportunity to face a group of SYFL all-stars coached by Snoop Dogg.

The game continues a tradition started by Snoop in 2005 during the festivities surrounding Super Bowl XXXIX in Jacksonville.

Each year since, he has travelled with a group of youngsters to face a team from the hosting city, coached by another celebrity.

This year, Snoop’s All-Stars will face a team of 30 ten and eleven-year-olds coached by former Tampa Bay Buccaneer Mike Alstott.

“This game is not only about working with the kids through football, and helping them learn all of the positive values that come with it, but it’s a way for the kids to see a different part of the country and to meet their peers from other places who are just like them,” Snoop has previously said of the tradition. “This game is all about the kids and making sure they know that we care and want to see them succeed both on the field and off.”

Snoop’s team consist of members of the Youth Football League he has also owned and coached in since 2005.

The Snoop Youth Football League consists of about 2,000 at-risk kids from the Los Angeles area.

The league was founded in 2005 as an affordable alternative to other programs in the area. Snoop, who coaches his youngest son’s team, the Pomona Steelers, even provides insurance for each player at no cost.

The SYFL also encourages academic dedication, with strict rules requiring that the players and cheerleaders maintain a 2.0 GPA, in order to participate in league activities.

In addition to the annual trip to the Super Bowl, for the past four years the SYFL has conducted its own playoff and end of season Super Bowl game patterned after the NFL system.

 Snoop Bowl VII will take place January 31 at Gaither High School in Tampa. Tickets for the game range from $15 to $40. All proceeds from the game will go to local and national children’s charities.

In related news, Snoop will be one of several Los Angeles-area athletes and celebrities participating in a charity basketball game to benefit a new Compton youth center.

LA Sparks coach Michael Cooper and center Lisa Leslie, Lakers forward Trevor Ariza, Warren G, Lil’ Eazy E and others will help raise funds to finish construction on The Stepping Stone, which is set to open this Spring.

The Stepping Stone aims to offer area kids academic tutoring in various subjects, while also giving them access to sports and the arts.

The game will take place at Compton High School on Saturday, January 17 at 4p.m. Tickets are on sale for $10 and can be purchased on the day of or by phone at (877) 689-7717.

T.I.’s days of freedom may be limited, but the rapper is making a last stand to illustrate the seriousness of his pending prison sentence with his upcoming MTV reality show.

T.I.’s Road to Redemption: 45 Days to Go will chronicle the rap star’s final days leading up to his one-year stint behind bars.

During that time, the rapper made time to talk to school and community groups about his past issues and ways to avoid duplicating the missteps he made, that resulted in his imminent prison time.

T.I. was sentenced to one year in prison on federal weapons charges after he 2007 arrested in Atlanta for allegedly trying to buy automatic weapons.

In addition to his prison time, the Atlanta entertainer was ordered to serve 1,000 hours of community service.

The community service included talking to youth about the hazards of gang life, drugs and guns.

The docu-series, which began filming in June and will continue to shoot until March, will allow viewers a further look into T.I.’s world, as they share in the birth of his sixth child, the release of his latest album Paper Trail and efforts by the rapper to help a group of at-risk teens.

Additionally, the show will look at T.I.’s struggle to manage his personal life while completing his required 1,000 hours of community service and coming to terms with going to jail at the height of his career.

To date, T.I. has done 864 hours.

Road to Redemption is not designed to be part of the community service hours the entertainer has to complete before beginning his prison sentence on March 27.

Overall, the rapper hopes the series will “scare teens straight” in an effort to steer them clear of the gang lifestyle and culture.

T.I.’s Road to Redemption: 45 Days To Go will premiere February 10 on MTV.

The

Los Angeles police department is claiming to have indentified Bone

Thugs-n-Harmony member Bizzy Bone as the victim of a brutal beating and robbery

last Monday (January 5).

Authorities

allege that Bizzy Bone, real name Byron McCane, was returning from a restaurant

to his Universal Hilton hotel room when he was accosted by several individuals.

The

gang allegedly beat and choked Bizzy during the confrontation, and subsequently

acquired all the rapper’s jewelry before fleeing the scene.

Police

have charged an anti-gang worker named Marlo “Bow Wow” Jones with the assault.

According

to the Los Angeles Times, the 30 year old Jones is reputed to be a contract

employee for Unity One, an anti-gang organization under the umbrella of the

L.A. Bridges II gang rehabilitation program.

The

group has officially terminated Jones’ employment while this case is pending.

At

press time, police report they are looking for additional female and male

suspects that participated in the crime.

Marlo

Jones remains in custody with bail set at $1.1 million.

Last

month, the original five man Bone Thugs-n-Harmony roster reunited after 10

years.

The

group is currently working on a summer 2009 release of Uni 5, the follow up to their 2007 gold album Strength & Loyalty.

After a five year hiatus, underground standout Krumb Snatcha will return in March with his third LP, Hidden Scriptures.

Even without a full length release in the last half decade, Krumb has remained busy with numerous guest spots with Guru, Pete Rock, Termanology, Tony Touch, Craig G, Ed OG, and Afu Ra.

Now an industry veteran of over ten years, Krumb feels as a sincere artist his music must reflect his growth as a human being.

On the Pete Rock-produced “Begins,” Krumb speaks on undergoing a spiritual death of his old rap persona and wanting to give the public a true offering of his renewed spirit.

“The vibe was totally different on this one,” Krumb revealed to AllHipHop.com. “I wanted to show everyone the other side of me. I feel like I’ve been walking in the dark for too long and I wanted to give the people my inner me.”

According to Krumb Snatcha, it is important that today’s Hip-Hop start reflecting the social issues and challenges of the people it’s supposed to speak for.

“Music should give people a mood. Whether it’s a dark one, or an uplifting one, it should explain the matters of heart,” Krumb explained. “This album was not to offend anybody, its sole purpose is to inspire. I believe with this contribution fans can see more to the artist than just skills, we are human too.”

The lead single for the project is the Beatminerz-produced “Feeling.”

Additional confirmed producers for the LP include Large Professor, Statik Selektah, Karimbo, and Nickel Plated.

Hidden Scriptures is set for release on March 10.

Grammy award nominee Lil Wayne has donated $200,000 to rebuild New Orleans’ Harrell Park, the rap star’s childhood playground.

The area served as a trailer site for Sewerage and Water Board workers in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

The heavy equipment severely damaged the park’s track and field. Additionally, the vacant community center was ruined over time by squatters.

Wayne’s donation will not only restore the park from hazard conditions, but also be used for educational and recreational programs.

According to local New Orleans officials, Harrell Park is located in one of the city’s more violent neighborhoods.

While Wayne does not expect his gesture to completely revamp the community, he remains optimistic that it is a start that other rap stars can initiate in their own hometowns.

“You can’t really tell them (kids) what to do these days,” Lil’ Wayne stated to Louisiana’s WWLTV. “When you tell them what to do, that’s when they get angry when you tell them be like me because it’s hard to be like me. So, the best thing you can tell them is try to do right.”

Today (January 12), the officials will vote on an estimate to repair the park’s damaged track and field.

Also joining in the initiative is Hornets star Chris Paul, who will be donating funds to three other park restoration projects around the city.

Wayne contribution is under his One Family Foundation, a non-profit which aims to empower youth through access to opportunities to develop their talents and aspirations.

Hoping to reach a new generation of TV viewers, PBS is putting the power of Hip-Hop to use in a revamped version of its hit ‘70s show The Electric Company.

The show’s executive producer, Karen Fowler, spearheaded the effort by hiring the creative team behind the Tony Award-winning musical In the Heights, as music supervisors, as well as improv Hip-Hop collective Freestyle Love Supreme.

The group will perform various musical numbers for the show that include “Silent E Is a Ninja” and “Miss Bossy R.”

Known for utilizing sketch comedy, animation and songs to help elementary school youth learn and develop literary skills, the original Electric Company premiered two years after Sesame Street as a follow-up to the iconic children series in 1971.

Among those featured on the show were actors Morgan Freeman, Rita Moreno and Bill Cosby as well as Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man.

Upon it’s cancellation in 1977 after 780 episodes, the original Electric Company remained on the air through reruns in the early ‘80s and is currently available on DVD and iTunes.

For the new version of the show, sketch comedy will not be used. Instead, it will utilize narrative threads that run throughout each show.

The threads will include jokes, singing and dancing while teaching five vocabulary words per episode.

In addition, stories from the new Electric Company will focus on a group of four kids who have superpowers that allow them to manipulate words and help one another as well as stop the Pranksters, a rival group of neighborhood bad guys.

The arrival of the new Electric Company comes amid troubling times for elementary school students.

According to the show’s producers, more than a quarter of fourth-graders in public schools read below grade level, with those from poor communities performing especially badly.

As a result, they hope the remake will play a role in helping underachieving kids catch up with their peers in reading.

The new Electric Company will premiere January 19 on PBS Kids Go.
