Rap Radar

Bad news keeps coming for T.I. Four months after being named the new spokesman for Remy Martin, Rap Radar has learned exclusively that the cognac maker has severed ties with the rapper.

Sometimes the “road to redemption” is a difficult path. Regrettably, we will not be able to continue collaborating with T.I. at this time.  We wish T.I. well and hope he will devote his time and energy to staying the course.

“Heaven’s Door.” “That track was produced by Justice League, L.E.P.’s G Count said. “That came from, we like to wear a lot of this jewelry. ‘I see ‘em foaming at the mouth,’ that’s why I came up with that.”

“FTW.” “Produced by Chase and Cash, everything we do, we try to do it big,” Moonie said. “So we going for the ‘W’ at the end of the day,” he added about the title’s shorthand, “for the win.” “That’s just how we do it, L.E.P. Bogus Boys, man.”

“Slip Into the Darkness.” “Shouts to the homie Mistro, you know, we go way back. And you know, it’s one of those records, man, that’s very soulful; very melodic. You know, Bogus Boys at they finest and it’s the type of sound I appreciate and I hope you appreciate as well.

According to TMZ , the L.A. County District Attorney has rejected the drug charge from T.I.’s arrest last month. Apparently, there’s technicalities regarding probable cause. Tip will still have to do jail time since the arrest was in violation of his probation. Lucky break, nonetheless. Mr. Harris is expected to turn himself in on Nov 1st. to begin his 11 month sentence.

Here’s some in studio footage of Cass and Jayceon in the studio. Who knows what they have in store, but Cassidy’s new album C.A.S.H. will be available on November 16th.
