[/p]The amusement and laughter one can get from browsing their time-line on twitter is priceless. Chris Brown was on twitter giving what appeared to be a compliment to Frank Ocean and things got a little crazy.[/p]"I fuck wit Frank Ocean! Reminds me of a young James Fauntleroy or Kevin Cossum"[/p]
[/p]Apparently, Frank did not like the compliment or it went over his head. He fired back stating Chris reminds him of a Young Sisqo or Ike Turner and then Chris released his fury.[/p]

[/p]DOWNLOAD -Times of a MartyrHip Hop’s newest conscience goes by the moniker Grace the Martyr. Grace meaning gift to the people, and martyr in its original form means one who has a lifetime mission to bear witness even in the face of death. Grace settled on his unique moniker as it was a testament to his past and what he believes his infinite purpose is on earth. “I’ve always known I have something I am supposed to give,” Grace says.[/p]Growing up between Florida and Georgia, southern culture and values were instilled in him from birth. Writing was a natural gift and he began writing poetry to express himself. As a teen, Grace was drawn to music, especially hip hop. He related to artists such as Father MC as well as Snoop Dogg and Positive K. Closest to his heart were 2Pac for his passionate approach, Ice Cube for his conscientious aggression and Andre 3000 for his creative yet clever wordplay. [/p] Throughout high school Grace honed his skills as an emcee and took every chance to network with other artists. He joined a group for awhile and experienced a regional success but eventually he realized that he needed to focus on his solo project and persevere towards his destiny.[/p]Today Grace the Martyr knows he is ready to fulfill his purpose and begin sharing his stories of life’s tragedies and triumphs. Years of trials and tribulations ups and downs and, he continued writing and recording. The result is his debut album The Southern Odyssey. The first single off of The Southern Odyssey is Grace’s introductory debut, “Times of a Martyr.” The autobiographical single tells Grace’s background with creative wordplay intertwined with a hip hop track laced with jazz, blues and soul.[/p]Today “Good music influences everything," he says “I tell stories that everyone can relate to regardless of their gender or even age. They are my stories… his stories….her stories. Music has no boundaries.”[/p]written by Christal Jordan/Enchanted PR[/p]For press inquiries and or interviews please contact Ashlea Perkins at enchantedashlea@gmail.com or phone Enchanted PR 678/499-0297[/url][/p]

In the last three days, Jimmy Henchmen name made headlines and rocked the hip-hop culture. Henchmen was named as the person who ordered the shooting on rap icon Tupac Shakur in 1994 by the alleged shooter Dexter Issac.
According to KarenCivil, "two of Jimmy’s goons, Rodney Johnson and Brian McLeod, have been charged with murder of Lowell Fletcher (associate of G-Unit). Fletcher was the man who assaulted Henchmen’s son back in 2007.[/p]Fletcher was imprisoned for nearly two years for the assault and an unrelated narcotics charge. Two weeks after being paroled in mid-September 2009, Fletcher was shot to death on a quiet Bronx street at 9:30 PM. New York Police Department investigators reportedly believed that Fletcher, 32, had been ambushed by several men that Sunday evening.[/p]
The daunting schedule of an artist can be so overwhelming, offers for collaborations get turned down and egos get bruised. We can only wonder if this is what happen when Jay-Z decided against collaborating with Justin Timberlake on FutureSex/LoveSounds.
Timberlake tells Vanity Fair:
“Jay-Z has put out 11 albums, and I was talking about doing collaboration with him, and he said, ‘I can’t do it right now, but I’ll get you on the next album. I was like, ‘No, man, I don’t work like that. This sounded good to me for you and me to do together, and if it doesn’t work, then I totally get it, but I won’t be putting an album out next year; these aren’t a dime a dozen to me.’”[/p]Justin sounds a little bitter, what you think?[/p]Its been awhile since we heard from Queensbridge native Nas so I guess he decided to release a little something to hold us over until the album drops.[/p]Nasty shows the epitome of a lyricist borderline genius who's mastery of the English language still makes him relevant after all these years.[/p]
Today mark's the 40th birthday of the late rap icon Tupac Shakur. Every year Shakur's birthday is celebrated around the world and his legacy lives on in popular culture. The former Tupac protege (Outlawz) decided to release a remix to Tupac Back in celebration of one of Pac's born day.

Roc Nation is gearing up for the J. Cole's debut album and unfortunately "Work Out" is the first single. Its a shame when artist mixtapes contain songs that are far better than their album.
[/p]The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) arrested is up to its old tricks again with the recent arrest of DJ Big Mike and his brother for piracy of CD's. The New England mixtape host is highly popular in the hip-hop industry for his work with Wiz Khalifa, Max-B, D-Block and Lil Kim.[/p]According to HipHopSpy the RIAA sent its own team of investigators to conduct a surveillance of a suspected “burner lab” operated by the popular DJ as well as several business of operations. After a two-year investigation a search warrant was issued and several arrest was made.[/p]I wonder if the artist who worked with Big Mike for label sponsored mixtapes will come to his defense?
