- Brand magic: If you got an upcoming t-shirt line, this might be the reason to go to menswear trade show MAGIC. Two designers, Alador and Smith, booked $80k in sales and within a few months were mentioned in Entertainment Weekly, XXL, and the Source. They expect sales to reach $500k this year. Plus it helped that Tyrese, Saigon, and Cipha Sounds started rocking their gear.
- Back-to-back: Foxy Brown has decided to stop beating hairdressers for a while and get back to making music. She’s dropping two albums simultaneously, one mainstream and one ’street’ LP for hood status.
- Get down with the King: Ballerstatus has got an interview with DMC.
- Who’s Property?: An author is suing Jay Z and Damon Dash for $15 million dollars over claims that they stole his script to make Roc-A-Fella film ‘State Property.’ So he’s the one to blame for that movie?
- Bloody emcees: We gotta agree with SOHH on this one. Sure, London rappers have a right to dis NYC, buy they sound like total ‘tossers’ doing it.
- Snoop still Cruisin’ along: Sony unveiled a new mobile game featuring Snoop. Snoop Dogg Cruisin’ requires players to a pimped-out whip in the search for player hood.
