Killer Mike’s new album Pl3dge will arrive May 17th. But 11 days before that, he’s warming up the streets with a new mixtape, Bang x 3. Below is a taste of what you can expect.

Here we go again. Bangladesh tells MTV that he has yet to receive compensation for producing Lil Wayne’s “6’7“. He also states that instead of charging for a beat, he asked Wayne for a feature for his album, but never received that as well.

“It’s hard to do when I can’t get Wayne features. I don’t know if it’s the people around the situation or it’s the actual person. Every time we come up with a solution, it never gets taken care of. I just can’t keep really giving them music.”

Before Lupe closed out last night’s MTV O Music Awards, Lil B performed his ode to Amercia’s favorite teenybopper. Thank you Based God.

Fuck the police—even if Frank Ocean plays one in an upcoming video. Last night, the Odd Future member was arrested in L.A. for unspecified reasons. Fortunately, his manager has already got him out the clink. Frank later took to Twitter to rage against the LAPD.

“Just got out of jail. Would like to go on record saying..fuck the police. fuck LAPD to be specific. fuck a cop, non-stop. frank will never speak to a cop again in his natural life. i have no respect for police. I swear if i weren’t sane in mind I’d throw a fuckin molotov in a cop car right now. Cuh had napoleon complex. and seemed really sad that he was on that lame ass bike patrol. what’s your #fuckthepolice experience? somebody bring the LA riots back.”

Coincidentally, today marks the 19th anniversary of the Los Angeles Riots. Can’t we all just get along?

Mack Maine called MTV last week and revealed that he’s set to launch a new label under the Cash Money familia. There’s no name yet for the imprint, but it will be spearheaded by Mack. You are about to witness a dynasty like no other.

“You know how Roc-A-Fella had State Property; I’m actually in the process of starting a new label… a sub-label, basically,” Mack said of the still-untitled imprint that he will head under the Cash Money umbrella.

Cory Gunz’ reality show, Son Of A Gun premiered last night on MTV. In the full episode above, Cory decides to sign with Young Money and is torn on whether he should be managed by his lawyer Ed Woods or Nick Cannon.
