It would have been Notorious B.I.G.’s 44^th birthday yesterday and Brooklyn did a huge thing to honor him.

Just last week we heard that GS9 member Rasha got 98 years in prison. GS9 is the crew that rapper Bobby Shmurda was apart of and who all got arrested in December of 2014. Today another member of the group got their sentencing and this time it was a 22 year old called A-Rod with charges of murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy. New York Daily News reports that A-Rod has been sentenced to 53 years in prison. While in court he pleaded to have the opportunity to raise his daughter and become a productive citizen but it doesn’t look like that helped much. Bobby is set to have his trail on September 12 so we’ll finally see how much trouble he got himself into.

A photographer by the name of Mychal Watts has filed a police report saying that while he was working at Chris Browns Launch Party for WizPak that happened to be on a yacht he got shoved by Browns crew. Apparently things took a turn when Watts snapped photos when Chris didn’t want him to and he got mad saying “This ain’t no press release, you’re done!” according to TMZ. When Watts was shoved by someone in Brown’s crew he spun and broke his $12,000 lens. Keep it locked right here for any updates on this situation.

Kanye West’s huge hit from his last album “Yeezus”, New Slaves, is now getting hims sued. TMZ is reporting that Ye is being sued by composer, Gabor Presser who had his song “Gyongyhaju lany” sampled at the end of Kanye’s track. Now Ye was originally given clearance to use the sample by Gabor. Gabor believed that he would give him permission then some deal would be worked out later down the road but that never happened according to him and he was just sent $10,000 and he never cashed the check. Gabor is now suing for $2.5 million for copyright infringement so stay tuned for updates.

Birdman has just signed AR-AB and Compton Menace to his label, Cash Money. Birdman made the announcement via a new video. Now is this a good or bad thing because on one side this can get both artist some much needed publicity but on the other side you have Birdman who has a lot of artist signed to him but has a bunch come out and say he does not pay them including his own “son”, Lil Wayne. Hopefully this new position benefits both AR and Compton Menace though. Check out the announcement below.

Just last night Kanye West took to Twitter to give fellow Chicago artist, Chance The Rapper some praise saying “My brother Chance!!! Thank you for letting me work on this masterpiece. One of my favorite people” and “Chance too good. God level bars.” This lead to Chance taking to Twitter speaking very highly of Kanye. “It’s Crazy cause I feel like I met Kanye the first time I heard We Don’t Care. Like he’s been there for me since 2004.” and he continues “Kanye was there when I tried out for the talent show, the first time I knew a kid who passed away, the first time I got suspended But still, every time I talk to him it feels foreign. I still get nervous and starstruck. I’m still surprised when he likes my ideas. Part of what makes this duality works is because he is by definition “One of A Kind”. Therefore I’ve always known him and will never know him. I’m content with that.” It is awesome to see the amount of respect these to amazing artist have for one another and many people that are Chances age can relate to the way he feels about Kanye West.

This is happening way to often for someone just starting out their rap career but Kodak Black has been arrested yet again. The last time Kodak was arrest for leading police on a high speed chase. Now he has been arrested again for open warrants he had on him from last years charges of armed robbery and false imprisonment. That is all we know at the moment but keep it locked right here for any updates on his situation.

A man in Bobby Shmurda’s group GS9 named Rasha will be in prison for a long time. Rasha was charged with murder and five counts of attempted murder. Rasha was sentenced to 98 years in prison for his crimes and though Bobby hasn’t done anything as bad just being associated does not help his case at all.

Mixtapes might be getting their shine really soon in the realm of Grammy awards. In the rules right now a Grammy could only be awarded to music that is released commercially. But so much good music is released free these days and people took to making a petition to have free music get their own Grammy category. Now the academy is saying that they are open to adding in that category in hopes to evolve to fit in with the way the world is going. This is huge because Chance the Rapper has put out a bunch of free projects that are definitely Grammy worthy projects.
