Here is some SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!
I got a bombshell of a rumor. Remember last month, I told you how Boosie was on his way home soon. And then I got rumors that said he’d be home sometime in the summer. Well, I have some new insider info on how they are moving on Boosie. First of all, people thought the boy Boosie was in the clear because he was acquitted of murder in one case. But, I am hearing there are two others on deck that they have not charged him for yet. But, they have witnesses and prosecutors on deck to bring Boosie right back into the legal gumbo he’s found himself in. From what I heard, they are simply going to charge Boosie with one charge at a time. This one still has him in jail. Soon as he is about to get out on his one, that he was acquitted for, boom! Another one. They get that guap from him and really stick it to him every step of the way in every way. One of the witnesses has turned his life over to God and says that God told him to tell the truth in these cases. That includes telling on Boosie.
Its about to get so very real for Boosie.
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry! -illseed.
Illseed, Out.

With his fingers in so many different pots within the music industry, Torae has mos def made his mark on Hip Hop in a profound way. Whether by his musical endeavors, or in his goal to spread the good Hip Hop word throughout the various platforms he has at his disposal, Torae has figured out how to come out on top of everything he attempts. He only continues to get better as an emcee and businessman as a result. His new project Admission Of Guilt is proof positive of that. Please check out AllHipHop.com’s interview with Torae!
AllHipHop.com: Thanks so much for taking a few moments out for us sir, let’s jump straight on in! You’ve been working non stop Torae! Your fans probably have no idea how many different jobs you do in Hip Hop! Can you please let everyone know how many hats you wear in a day and what it’s like to be working this hard on so many different levels of this industry?
No problem thanks for having me. I definitely wear a few different hats, usually Knicks & Yankees though (laughter). No seriously aside from being an MC, I run my own company Internal Affairs Entertainment. I have this dope rapper signed named Torae, he’s a beast. I also A&R for Soulspazm Records which is a independent label & distribution company. Lastly, every Sunday evening at 10pm ET you can hear me cracking the mic as an on air personality on SiriusXM’s Hip Hop Nation on “Rap Is Outta Control” with DJ Eclipse.
AllHipHop.com: Lot’s of hats! (Laughter) Okay T, switching gears a little bit, we see that you are also a movie star! How did you come to be in the DEMOS documentary that’s dropping now?
I’m not a star, somebody lied. I think I got approached about doing an interview for Demos about 2 or 3 years ago during A3C. Anything I can do to help new artists & further the culture I’m always down for so I agreed. Then once my manager Soul Wallace got involved I knew my scenes wouldn’t end up on the cutting room floor.
AllHipHop.com: That’s a cool story, Soul Wallace is a keeper no doubt! Alright, you have a new project out, talk to us about this project a bit. What inspired it, and who is a part of it? Will you be touring in support of it?
Yes, my new project “Admission of Guilt” is available now for free download. This is the 1st time I’ve released a free project so I’m hoping a lot more people are inclined to check it out. I have a few collaboration on it, some expected & some aren’t. I’m most proud of the features from hip hop royalty Bun B. & Pharoahe Monch. It’s an honor to have songs with them in my catalog. Other features include Skyzoo, The Kid Daytona, Torch of Triple C’s & Uncle Murda. As far as touring, I’m actually replying to these questions in route to Houston from New Orleans on tour with Coast 2 Coast & Red Café. So yes, I am currently touring to support Admission of Guilt.
AllHipHop.com: Is there a specific message that you hope your music reflects to the listeners?
The message varies from song to song, release to release but overall my music reflects my life. I feel my life isn’t much different from a lot of other people and I’d like to provide the soundtrack to whatever you’re going through & experiencing at any given moment.
AllHipHop.com: What is one thing the fans don’t know about you that you wish they did?
That I speak fluent Japanese (laughter), nah that’s a good question. I guess that I listen to and am influenced by so much different music, some stuff you probably wouldn’t believe. So when I make my music I like to experiment & explore different stuff since I’ve continually given you my foundation up to this point.
AllHipHop.com: Actually, I can imagine, my ipod is not for the faint of heart either! (laughter) Cool! Can you give us three words that describe you as an artist?
3 words? Dylan, Dylan & Dylan! Either that or Fun, Fly & Free.
AllHipHop.com: (Laughter) OK, got it. So,what’s in the pipeline for you at the moment? Who are you working with and what can we expect?
Well due to the overwhelming demand by the fans Skyzoo & I are finally going to deliver that “Barrel Brothers” album we’ve been getting asked for since forever. Aside from that expect me to get back over to Europe to tour before the end of 2013. I’m also looking to drop a few videos to support Admission of Guilt.
AllHipHop.com: Dope! Please tell the people how they can keep up with you!
Keep up with moi? Good luck! Nah please feel free to follow @torae on twitter & instagram, like me on facebook.com/itstorae & stay updated on www.itstorae.com Thanks for your time & continued support Skyy.
Thanks again to Torae for taking a minute out for us! You guys be sure to keep looking out for his new project!

Having released his last album, Feet Match the Paint, in late April and set to release his next one Won’t Stop on June 18, San Diego’s Mitchy Slick is on a mission to further establish himself as an independent force on the West Coast. Although he’s been a member of the group known as Strong Arm Steady (along with Krondon, Phil Da Agony and sometimes Xzibit), Mitchy has actually been putting in work on his own since 2001 with the release of his debut Triggeration Station – a gritty album that gave rap fans an insight to the existence of the widely overlooked dangerous side of San Diego, CA. As the head of his own label, Wrong Kind Records, Mitchy Slick is working with a slew of young artists from the area they call “Daygo,” in efforts to give the region opportunities that he feels that the music industry is ignoring and sleeping on. AllHipHop.com caught up with the Wrong Kind label head to chat about this and more.
AllHipHop.com: I remember the craziness surrounding the release of the Strong Arm Robbery mixtape with Damu years ago. People were getting shot and there was all sorts of drama in San Diego.
Mitchy Slick: At the time there was so much stuff going on and it wasn’t necessarily because of my CD’s. Matter of fact it wasn’t that at all. There was a lot of stuff going on at the time in the city and the finger got pointed at us. They put it on me basically blaming the violence on our CD. At the time, a couple of innocent ladies were murdered in my neighborhood right in front of a liquor store and there was a back and forth shooting. Damu, who made the CD with me, even got shot the day it was released. But the music did show a side of San Diego that the powers that be didn’t want the world to see. I was basically doing the same thing that Cube, Pac, Snoop, Game, 50 Cent and Mobb Deep were doing – telling street stories. They weren’t feeling that though. They weren’t with me telling San Diego’s part of the story because San Diego is a crazy place when it comes to the demographics. With all of the businesses that are in San Diego, the urban side of it is hidden and you can’t tell how big it really is. That even extends to how Hip-Hop is supported there. It’s not a coincidence that nobody has made it really big out of San Diego. There is a reason for that. Bro, we don’t even have an urban radio station out here. Look at all of the cities that have artists that are moving. They all have that outlet or some type of independent movement.
AllHipHop.com: The Triggeration Station CD was an eye opener for me. I didn’t know that side of San Diego even existed. It was all just Sea World and Beaches to me. I had no idea it was that crazy like that over there.
Mitchy Slick: What’s crazy is that by traveling you get to see how much the rest of the country doesn’t know about places like Fresno, Stockton and a bunch of other little cities. It’s not just San Diego. I’m talking about off the chain stuff. A lot of artists go to Stockton and it will be the only place they’ve been robbed.
AllHipHop.com: You’ve been chilling in Los Angeles for a minute. Do you feel like an outsider there?
Mitchy Slick: Yeah but the artists themselves don’t make me feel like that. Nipsey Hussle, Schoolboy Q, Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Dom Kennedy, Pac D## and all of the other cats show love. With Krondon, I’m a part of the Likwit Crew. I don’t [feel like an outsider] amongst the artists but in the streets I do to a certain degree. It’s hard being in Los Angeles with them being such a powerhouse. It’s no coincidence that the two cats that Dr. Dre put the stamp on and blew up are from Compton. I talk about things that nobody wants to. I put out records independently. Wrong Kind Records is at full speed right now. We keep it gangsta and keep sh*t going in the streets. I’m also rolling with Empire Distribution. They’re helping me get things crackin’ in this internet era of promotions.
AllHipHop.com: How is Strong Arm Steady? You guys still moving along?
Mitchy Slick: Yeah we’re still getting it in, but right now we are concentrating on solo sh*t. We are all featured on everyone else’s sh*t but we’re together all of the time. That’s my family. Krondon just put out a free album that’s dope as sh*t, man. Phil is doing stuff overseas. I’m working with the young cats on my Wrong Kind label. You know, it’s the music business man and we’ve been doing this sh*t forever.
