The controversy surrounding the beat for Rick Ross' latest single, "The Devil Is a Lie," featuring Jay Z, continues. Yesterday, the alleged producer, K.E. On The Track, released an in-studio video of himself crafting the song. But then another producer, Major Seven, claimed on Twitter that K.E. in fact stole the beat from him. "Situation just got handled!" Major Seven said on Twitter, "u will see Rick Ross and Jayz - Devil Is A Lie was produced by Major Seven in the credits! Turn up!!!"
Ominous.
Now, it appears Ross and Jay Z were't even the first artists to rap over the production from Major Seven. On October 7, a Portland, Oregon rapper named Manny Monday, released a record called "OG Shit" (see above) which uses the same beat. The description for the video states that Lex Luger produced the song. Complex reached out to Manny, who says the beat in question has been in his possession since April 14 of this year.
Earlier today Manny and Major had a conversation on Twitter concerning the beat. The two apparently weren't even aware of each other prior to "The Devil Is a Lie" being released, which shows just how murky this situation has become.
