The upcoming three-day expo which kicks off April 22-24 at L.A.’s Renaissance Hollywood Hotel, features musicians, songwriters, executives and others who come together yearly to provide expertise and ideas to enhance the music industry. Let’s hope Lova Lova asks some good shit. Ha. Billboard
50 Cent’s nemeses team up once again for this new track produced by Scott Storch. More than likely this will end up on Game’s R.E.D. Album. It’d be criminal for these strings to go to waste. 57th Ave

“Come with me to the White House, get cha suit up…” This almost looks like a reenactment of this 2005 XXL cover. Here are two photographs from Jigga and Trigga‘s visit to casa blanca yesterday morning. Hov even brought his first lady along for the trip. Props: Llindyrr

Can’t we just all get along? This afternoon, members of Gucci Man’s crew (including Waka Flocka) confronted Jeezy’s clique in an Atlanta clothing store. A fight ensued and Waka’s security detail fired a gun during the melee. No injuries were reported, but an eyewitness said of Waka, “Whoever he is he’s got a big swollen eye now.” This past January the duo ended their long-standing beef on air with DJ Drama.

It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
