That Rick Ross sure is a nice guy. Last night, Officer Ricky gave us media folks these shirts as a parting gift from his listening session. Promo T’s are the best. Not only are they free, but they’re also great for wifey to rock around the house. See, even Stewie approves. Click the jump to see the back.

Somehow, the homie Scott over at WoooHa got his hands on the legal documents concerning Afeni Shakur’s suit against Morgan Creek Entertainment.
“The document goes on to mention how Morgan Creek entered the
discussions in 2008 as both sides negotiated deal points in a draft but
still no verbal or written agreement or approval to move forward. But
finally, only after Notorious opened well did Morgan Creek
say they agreed to the terms and that it was binding. Amura
Entartinament argues they never had any such agreement.”
Com’on now, don’t go making your G’s in a sleezy way!

Quentin Miller continues to prove that originality still matters in music. The message behind Road Less Traveled feels inspiring because it highlights independence, creativity, and staying true to your own path. The visuals and storytelling work together really well, and this post does a nice job introducing the upcoming album. Reading about artists who choose their own direction reminds me of planning a New Zealand tours, where the journey itself becomes just as meaningful as the destination. Looking forward to hearing the full project and seeing how the album develops this theme even further.
