Bow Wow......Hustlin

“I wanna be a muthaf**kin' hustla!" Those were the opening words on Snoop’s classic, Doggystyle and they were voiced by a then eight-year-old Lil” Bow Wow. Strange hearing those curse words from a youngster’s mouth, but 14 years later, Bow Wow is now old enough to talk any way he wishes.

Dreams of being a hustler have come true for “Mr. 106 & Park” who not only has the ladies going wild, but has opened his own shoe chain, Prestigious with two stores in Atlanta and is in the process of owning a McDonald’s franchise at 20 years old. Throw in his Homeboyz series, set to debut this month on MTV and the network might have a Black version of Entourage in a cartoon form. The braids are gone, the material has grown, and he’s gone through his first year of being in the tabloids. The Price of Fame is a true album title for Bow Wow, as the boy-turned grown man sees the scrutiny of growing up in the Hip-Hop eye. However, Bow Wow is still here, and he’s got something that grandmothers and Young Jeezy all respect.

Nate Sues Suge for $10 Million

Nathaniel Hale, aka Nate Dogg, recently lodged an adversary proceeding attached to Suge Knight's bankruptcy case, which was filed last year in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles. Hale, whose cousin Snoop Dogg also once recorded for Death Row, alleges that Knight has "shamelessly" exploited him and refused to pay royalties. When he would ask about the payment of monies owed, the 37-year-old Hale charged he was either "threatened with violence," told he was not owed anything, or promised an accounting at some point. In his complaint, Hale describes himself as "one of the most recognizable names in urban music," but claims that he is "unsophisticated in record company business dealings." Hale added that he was unsure whether he had signed any contracts granting Knight or Death Row rights to his musical compositions or masters. Hale, whom Knight, 41, did not list as a creditor in his Chapter 11 petition, is seeking a legal judgment declaring that Knight's debt to him cannot be discharged, or wiped away.

Mike Jones.......New Album

Mike Jones will release a new album, titled The American Dream, in April on Swishahouse/Asylum/Warner Bros. Records.
Fans of the Houston-born MC have been eagerly awaiting new music ever since Jones took the hip-hop world by storm in 2005 with his double-platinum, chart- topping debut Who is Mike Jones?
The album's addictive first single, "Mr. Jones," which was produced by Myke Diesel (Master P., Lil Romeo), features a shuffling synth and drum groove and Jones' confident rap: "You haters hate but they don't really wanna see the steel / Had a million in my bank before Asylum brought the deal / Before I came out they said the streets wouldn't feel / The s**t that I'm spittin', the s**t that's real."
The track will also appear in Jones' feature film debut, also titled The American Dream, which is scheduled to come out shortly after the album is released. Executive produced by Jones, Warner Bros., and Asylum, the film, which Jones co-directed with Derrick Dixon (2004's Survival of the Illest), is loosely based on the rapper's life, depicting his rise from humble beginnings in Houston to hip-hop luminary.
After years of underground success, Jones broke through on a national level thanks to savvy self- promotion and the drowsy smash hit anthem "Still Tippin'," which featured fellow H-Towners Slim Thug and Paul Wall. Jones followed it up with "Back Then," which cracked the Top Ten on Billboard's Hot Rap Tracks chart, scored heavy rotation on BET and MTV, and led to the double-platinum certification of Who Is Mike Jones? With his gregarious personality, knack for self-promotion (his T-shirts emblazoned with "Who is Mike Jones?" and his actual cell phone number are legend), and guest star turns (Ying Yang Twins' "Badd," T-Pain's "I'm N Luv (Wit A Stripper)"), Jones became one of the first artists to break out of the Houston hip-hop scene in years.
In addition to filming The American Dream last fall, Jones also appeared on the Anger Management Tour, was featured on the Fox TV show Prison Break, and opened a thriving club in the Houston Metro area called Ice Age, which has attracted celebrities such as Vivica A. Fox, Morris Chestnut, Meagan Good, Chingy, and Tracy McGrady

Dj Drama and Dj Cannon Released

Sources have confirmed that both DJ Drama and DJ Don Cannon have been released from the Fulton County Jail, where they were held on racketeering charges.
The two DJ's were freed on a $100,000 signature bond yesterday afternoon.

They are set for a second appearance at the Fulton County Court on January 24.
The raid on the Aphillates Music Group’s offices in Atlanta were apparently the result of a partnership with a nationwide joint vice task force working to stop the sale of pirated music.

DJ Drama, born Tyree Simmons and Donald “Don” Cannon, were arrested on felony charges under the Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).

Lil Flip....The Return

It’s been three years since Lil’ Flip released his two-times platinum double album U Gotta Feel Me. After taking what he describes as a “break” from the industry, the Southside Houston native is finally ready to jump back in. Flip is gearing up to drop his fourth solo LP, I Need Mine, through a newly signed deal with Asylum and Warner Bros. Records. In addition to revamping his album, which the 25-year-old MC claims was leaked last year by his former label Sony, the Screwed Up Click vet has been busy promoting his liquor brand, Lucky Nites, and establishing his Clover G Records roster.
Although he’s got a lot to show for his time away, Lil’ Flip is still often criticized for taking a hiatus after his public feud with T.I. The two started beefing over who deserved the King of the South distinction and came to blows after T.I. dissed Flip on the radio in his hometown.

While Flipper maintains he was busy trying to get released from his thick ties with Sony, other public riffs with Paul Wall, Slim Thug, and his former manager Hump all seem to have gotten the best of him. In Flip’s time away from the game, Houston rap has managed to finally break through nationally. While he acknowledges H-Town’s commercial success, Flip insists it wouldn’t have been possible without the formula he helped pioneer on his first album, 2000’s The Leprechaun.

Rocawear...... Jackets made with "Dog Fur"

Jacket from Jigga's clothing line, Rocawear, allegedly has dog fur in its collar, even though it's advertised as having fake fur. According to an investigation by The Humane Society of the United States, the Hunter jacket on Rocawear.com contains real fur from a raccoon dog, a dog indigenous to Asia that The Humane Society claims are skinned alive for the coats, hence the uproar. As of today, the $265 coat was still a "featured" item on the Rocawear website. Late last year, a similar investigation found that raccoon dog fur was being used in a coat in rap mogul P. Diddy's "Sean John" collection; that item was removed from stores within a few days.Reps for Jay-Z and Rocawear could not immediately be reached for comment. The Humane Society said that it informed the company of the issue a week ago, but that they've taken no action.

Jacob The Jeweler....Time to testify

Jacob Arabov aka "Jacob The Jeweler" is calling on his celebrity clients to testify as defense witnesses at his upcoming federal money-laundering trial.

Exclusive...Teedra Moses..."Blow Me Out"

“Blow Me Out” is a full version of a song left off from her “Complex Simplicity” album sessions, which dropped in 2004. “Complex Simplicity,” to date, is one of my favorite R&B albums. Teedra Moses, who co-wrote and produced the majority of the album with the highly slept-on Paul Poli, is set to release her sophomore album, “The Young Lioness” sometime this year. According to sources, Teedra is laying down final touches on the album down in Miami. This version of “Take My Love Away” is the highest quality that the internet has seen. Hopefully this means that we are closer and closer to “The Young Lioness” having an official release date from TVT Records.

Vogue...for Jennifer Hudson

‘From Dreamgirl to… cover girl? Cincinnati Live has learned that on January 5, Golden Globe nominee Jennifer Hudson, 25, posed for photographer Annie Leibovitz at the Apollo Theater in Harlem for a Vogue photo shoot. One insider says “She may even end up on the cover.” (A rep for Vogue confirms the shoot took place for the March issue, but says the cover hasn’t been decided.) It’s yet another accolade for Hudson - and is unlikely to please her Dreamgirls costar (and rumored rival) Beyonce Knowles, 25, who, a source says, has long coveted a cover of Vogue (though she appeared in a four page feature in 2003). A rep for the magazine says “We don’t favor one actress over the other.

Sources are reporting that a new female rap group is on the horizon that will feature Remy Ma, Shawnna and Jacki-O.

"They have been recording tracks over the past month, Jacki-O has been in New York, Shawnna and Remy have been in Miami," a source told the Web site.
"The album is going to define all three of them and the material is going to speak for itself."
Remy, a native of the Bronx; Chicago’s Shawnna and Jacki-O of Miami were rumored to be calling themselves “Head B**ches in Charge,” however, sources tell the Web site that their name has not been finalized.

The trio’s album, which will feature cameo appearances by females only, has yet to find a label home. An official announcement is expected once contractual issues for each group member are resolved.
