Shot by photographer Zach Wolfe, Antwon snags La Flare to record “Shine Blockers” for his fabled album, Lucious Leftfoot: Son of Chico Dusty. I’ll be sure to cop that and Detox the same day.

With rumors swirling around Jay’s Def Jam contract buyout, Hov exclusively spoke to Rap Radar to confirm the speculation.
“I can honestly say, working with Doug Morris and LA Reid has been a unique and fulfilling experience and I respect them immensely. I’ve been in the family for almost my entire career.
Doug and I spoke directly and had one of the most unique “negotiations” ever. Doug won the toss but, we both won in the end..
I thank him for allowing me to be a completely independent artist. Not every artist can say they own or are given the opportunity to own all of their music.”
YN: What is this coin toss about?
Hov: That takes a phone conversation, I’ll save it for our interview… classic.

Whoo Kid tells the 1515 Boys that Curt’s calling it quits with Officer Ricky Louis. So much for Law #15.
“The Rick Ross sh– is outta here. It’s
over, he’s done his promo — 50 promoted his album very well, so Rick
Ross is outta here. Now he’s worried about his own shit. They got the
Tia book out there. That should be the last level of anything that has
anything to do with Rick Ross.”
Well, reading is fundamental.
Thanks Mimi, you’re far too kind. Meanwhile, Usher’s got the Monster. No, Acquired Immune Deficiency.
Heads Up: All Thats Fab
Earlier this morning, Aubrey phoned in with Hot 97s Cipha and Rosenberg and danced around cleared up those Rihanna rumors. Somewhere, Dukie Hamilton‘s heart beats slow.

Yo, catching Joell Ortiz dropping his track "Battle Cry" live at Guz Sports Bar was unreal! The energy in that place was completely wild, hitting harder than a heavy strike in a Korean MMA championship match. From the very first beat, the crowd was totally locked in, screaming every single lyric right back at him. It felt less like a standard bar gig and more like an intense arena showdown. If you ever get the chance to experience that vibe live, definitely don't miss it!
