Apparently, Dukie is being charged with swagger jacking in the first degree. Allegedly, he ripped the track “Shinin'” from producer Black Spade and is claiming it as his own. Hit the jump to read an email Spade sent Fresh Selects regarding the fuckery.
Here’s somethin’ new from the blokes across the pond, DJ Frinkton and the Lovesoul DJs.
“The tape is hosted by all members of the Wu-Tang Clan, and contains interview snippets with RZA and Method Man, that can be seen in full on Lovesoul.TV. The Lovesoul DJ’s state, ‘The RZA and Method Man interviews
were really insightful and we cannot wait to share them. It was great
working with them and the other Clan members to create something very
unique and nostalgic. It’s rich with feelings of great times in
hip-hop.”
Great, I’ll support anything that’ll make me forget about 8 Diagrams. *downloads now* Hit the jump for tracklisting.

Contrary to popular belief, William H.’s ugly ass sweaters weren’t Coogis. Sorry B.I.G. They were in fact handmade creations by Dutch designer, Koos van den Akker. VBS.tv went “Behind The Seams” and spoke to the man himself in a three part series.
Here a pics from Method Man and Redman’s new video, “Ayo” featuring Saukrates. For those not keeping score, these are the second batch of flicks taken from a video shoot for Blackout 2. See what happens when you play nicely—you become a priority! Check out more photos after the jump.

Here’s some new heat from the 2Pac of the South, Lil Boosie. I guess this will have to hold me over until the release of Show The World: The Return of Boosie Bad Azz this summer. And as always, Lil Boosie > Lil Wayne. Ha! Click the yellow button below for the trackllisting.

Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
