48 hours before Christmas, Luda shot scenes in L.A. for his new video “How Low”. The real question is, how long until the release of Battle of The Sexes? Heads Up: HHNM

If you’re a fan, you’d be too. While signing autographs during the Cowboys vs. Redskins game, Wale shows his dismay for the home team after they turnover the ball. When it was all said and done, the Skins lost last night, 17-0.

Jay’s right hand man, explains why he chose not to sign to his Roc Nation label. In this case, money isn’t a major issue. “I coulda went to Roc Nation, but then what am I getting out of that? Another $150,000 check advance, then I come out [and] sell 300,000 probably, somebody makes two or three million, and I gotta mess with the fact that they gon’ say yo you bricked out?
