Since Dom (Diesel) and Brian’s (Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpin’s empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete.
Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.
(AllHipHop News) DJ and producer J. Period has officially been named Music Supervisor for the Brooklyn Nets, a position which is first of its kind in the NBA.
J. Period, who has been working the boards at Barclays since November, has created over 150 remixes to a number of hits, both classic and new, for a Barclays Center home crowd of over 15,000 attendees a night.

Period in an official press release. “As a Brooklynite for over 10 years and a lifetime hoops head, I’m excited to play a role in shaping the musical identity of the Brooklyn Nets in their debut season.”
“Barclays is the new epicenter of Brooklyn,” he continued. “The arena experience is all about capturing that essence. As Music Supervisor, my goal is simple: energize the entire crowd and help make it fun for everyone… Brooklyn-style.”
In addition to his nightly music selection, Period also helped craft a remix to the official anthem for the Brooklyn Nets by John Forte titled “Brooklyn: Something to Lean On (J. Period Remix),” which plays before every home game.
“J. Period has played an integral part in reinventing how we musically entertain our fans,” stated Petra Pope, Nets Senior Vice President of Event Marketing and Community Relations. “He has strong ties to the Borough of Brooklyn and the diversity it represents… we are fortunate to have him as a part of our team.”

(AllHipHop News) Drake has a much publicized affinity for 90’s R&B, so it is no surprise that the Canadian-born rap phenom is scheduled to work on new music with TLC singer, T-Boz according to the singer in an interview with Rap-Up.
In the interview, the FanMail singer says she plans on hitting the studio with Drake and his go-to producer, Noah “40” Shebib and calls Drake “one of the special ones.” The multi-platinum R&B icon praised Drake’s lyrical content as well as a similarity between the two that might not be the most obvious. “I think he would write perfect for my tone, because he sings in that register that I sing in.”
This is not Drake’s first encounter with the TLC legacy as he covered the group’s 1999 record, “Fan Mail” for his song “I Get Lonely Too” from his shelved R&B mixtape It’s Never Enough. Recently, Chilli of TLC posted a pic on her Twitter account of herself and T-Boz signing Drake’s “Protection is the Priority” TLC shirt.
Drake’s fixation with 90’s R&B caused a bit of controversy last year when he announced plans of working on a posthumous Aaliyah album without consulting Timbaland and Missy Elliott. No new songs have been released since the inception of the controversy following the release of the Drake-assisted “Enough Said” record back in August of 2012.
Check the full interview below where T-Boz speaks on new iTunes single “Champions” and empowering those with sickle-cell anemia(which she possesses):
Now she is a singer. I don’t know what to make of this song. There are rumors that she is talking to her ex Joe Buddens. Check it out.
“I’ve got to detox you outta my mind.” REALLY? I think she’s talking about Joe Budden! These reality people are a crafty bunch and this seems like a slick ploy to push things along! They already trying to help Joe with his drugs on the show and also fight over him…why not?
THIS COOL…
But where that Detox?
How’d Dre make the cover of the music issue when he’s not really putting out music? Just a question.
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry! -illseed.
Philly is known for a lot of things, and producing talent is one of them. There are countless hip-hop acts that hail from the “City of Brotherly Love” from the sounds of The Roots to the gritty rhymes of Beanie Siegel. Now with Meek Mill in the limelight Philly is once again on the rap radar. Next up is Cannon Music Group’s Jimme Wallstreet.
No stranger to the music game, Wallstreet broke bread with the best of them. Connecting with DJAce McClowd in preparation for his upcoming release Elevator Music featuringDJ Khaled, Jadakiss, T-Pain, and Peedi Crakk, to name a few. Wallstreet may be what the game has been missing.
Allhiphop.com: It’s 2013, and word on the street is you got next. Tell me what’s going on?
Wallstreet: If this was real estate, we built the fence so now we working on the house. Shout out to Cannon Music Group, Ace McClowd, the whole city of Philadelphia for supporting this project Elevator Music. I got another project called Twin Towers with Big Ooh from Trenton, New Jersey.
Allhiphop.com: You say you’re building a house, what’s your foundation? How long have you been doing this?
WallStreet: I’ve been doing this for a minute. I did two years( I say two years like it’s a jail sentence.)But, I did two years in New York with G Unit. I came back to Philly back to my roots, eventually linked up with Ace McClowd, we ventured down Atlanta hooked up with Cannons Music Group. See sometimes, when you get off your pivot you have to go back to the basics, create restructure what has been broken. The foundation would have to be the music. It wasn’t no buzz, no budget, it was the hope, and the belief in the music is wide enough for the population so that’s just where we at.
Allhiphop.com: All eyes are on Philly right now, due to the success of Meek Mill does that add pressure?
WallStreet: I just did a hook for Meek the other day, he said it was one of the best hooks he ever did. Me and Jordanne from Dream Chasers. Philly got next and I got something to do with that.
Allhiphop.com: What’s the concept of Elevator Music and who’s featured on it?
Wallstreet: It’s a breath of fresh air. These are everybody who we work with favorites. This is like an offspring of what we can bring to the people. I got E. Ness on there, Peedi Crakk, a joint with Big Krit on there, a joint with Jadakiss, DJ Khaled of course.
Allhiphop.com: You are co-signed by a lot of heavy hitters, from 50 Cent, Don Cannons, and DJ Khaled, how did that come to fruition?
WallStreet: I gather all this information from life, I’m a student of the world first. You gotta understand where I come from.I’m a luck guy! No, I was prepared when I had the opportunity to do so. Like Ace (McClowd) told me you if you already ready you ain’t gotta get ready. So when they was getting ready, we was ready. That’s how we got here. Work. Just Working.
Allhiphop.com: You’re featured heavily on E. Ness’ Last House on the Left Album, along with Hollowman, Oschino, Peedi Crakk and other artists. How did that relationship start?
WallStreet: Me and Ness started when he was in NY with Puff and I was in NY with G Unit. We aew both up there from Philly so we connected. Those situation spewed into us both coming back to Philadelphia. I had stopped music for a minute, because the friction of the wear and tear of the business. If it wasn’t for Ness I wouldn’t even be getting back in the music. Last House on the Left is countless sessions we been in.
Allhiphop.com: What is the Jimme WallStreet sound?
WallStreet: I’m bringing back the essence of hip-hop. It’s real soulful, it’s real personal; the texture is good, the music is good, production is stellar. It’s soulful, its music, it’s the right thing! Its like music in a degree like standard grade A hip-hop. I got something the game is missing. Hip Hop started on the East Coast. If it was Monopoly it would be Boardwalk or Park Place. I got the best producers, the best features. I got a joint with T-Pain, a joint with DJ Khaled called Big Dawg Music. I got a joint with Jadakiss.
Allhiphop.com: Speaking of Jadakiss anybody ever tell you, you sound like him?
WallStreet: Yeah I get that a lot, but Kiss gave me the co-sign so I’m cool. That’s my O.G. we sat down a few times we built our relationship so everything is good with me and Kiss. The sky ain’t the limit no more. They walking on the moon.You know that right?
