Official Vizion Signs deal Freemantle Media

It’s been a journey for artist and ceo of Nashville TN label, Official Vizion. With its conception after O.N.A.’s collapse a coalition of artist from music city. Leader Z aka Zeus would later go on to create Official Vizion, entertainment label directly after. From humble beginnings the label would receive its fair share of light after the release of “Ordained”! The success of the mixtape would propel the label too new heights attracting the attention of Freemantle Media, a television production company . This deal is apparently one of many and worth a lot of money. The details of how much haven’t been specified. Stay tune to find out what other moves Z’s camp is making!

Chris Brown Lashes Out At Kehlani

Chris Brown has some choice words for Kehlani following her "fake" suicide attempt. It’s been a rough couple days for Kehlani to say the least. The Bay Area singer is currently recovering at her home after being hospitalized last night for an apparent suicide attempt to end her life. It all started following Monday’s drama when OVO affiliate PartyNextDoor posted a picture on Instagram with Kehlani in his bed, sparking up rumors of why her & Kyrie split. While an apparent suicide is never anything to joke about, one particular artist, named Chris Brown, thought the who ordeal was a publicity stunt. Taking to Twitter Tuesday night, Breezy decided to voice his opinion on the whole situation, and he didn’t hold back. "Girls be mad at a nigga for fucking around wit bitches but her DMs got more names then the Declaration of Independence. #YEAHIMTHROWINGSHADE," he began. He then went onto say "they look like they have stank sex," before implying that she was only doing this for attention. "There is no attempting suicide. Stop flexing for the gram. Doing shit for sympathy so them comments under your pics don't look so bad," he wrote. He ended things by saying she would have to watch Kyrie's games from the TV now instead of box seats. For what it’s worth, Chris is good friends with Kyrie and we all know his past relationship with the OVO camp, so this random-ass rant could be more about Chris' loyalty than actually Kehlani. Because let’s be real, there’s no reason for him to step in and comment on Kehlani’s issues if it weren’t for the guys who are involved.

The first clip shows both Sean and Aiko sitting in the backseat of a car, and the second shows Aiko being filmed by a robot while she's likely in the middle of intercourse (perhaps with Sean).

Tyga Faces 3rd Lawsuit From A Landlord

Apparently Tyga has a thing for not paying rent. Tyga has been at the center of a second public dispute with his landlord, who claimed he hadn’t been paying rent on his $17,000 a month Hollywood Hills mansion. Apparently, Tyga has a third legal dispute with a landlord on his hands, this time for a space he rented for his clothing company Egypt Last Kings Clothing. As TMZ reports, Tyga had been using the rented space as a retail shop for Last Kings, but the landlord found the unit abandoned in June 2015. No trace of Tyga or anyone else who had lived there, except for some not-so-subtle redecoration. Tyga or someone in his crew had apparently painted the doors black with Egyptian patters, painted over the ceiling tiles and had spilled ink across most of the 5,000 square feet of concrete flooring. To top it, off, the landlord is claiming that someone poured ink down the drain, which violates more than one environmental regulation and is just all around bad for the environment. As for his Last Kings line? You can check out their website for yourself, because apparently Tyga doens't like to pay rent on digital properties either. The landlord is seeking $75,000 for repairs to the rental, plus five months of rent. Because of course Tyga didn’t pay his rent. That being said, Tyga has defended himself by claiming the damages were the landlord’s doing and that the building wasn’t up to code, which caused the environmental fines.

Post Malone Says He Has New Music Coming This Week

Could it be a single from Post Malone's new album? We haven’t heard much from the out-of-nowhere sensation Post Malone aside from the odd rumor about his collaborators since he announced his album would be dropping in March. Of course, March is now almost over and we still don’t have the album, so time is running out for the “White Iverson” singer to make good on his tweet. He may be doing just that, according to an Instagram post from last night. Post Malone shared a picture of himself holding a solid gold Air Jordan 11 necklace pendant, and told people as an aside, “don’t ask me about music, because it’s coming this week.” There’s still ample time for Post to drop a single and an album before the month is over, so we might have a lot more from the Texas artist very soon.

Rihanna's "ANTI" Returns To The Top Of The Billboard 200

After over a month spent in lower positions, Rihanna's "ANTI" is back at number one. Rihanna pulled out a nail-biter against Kevin Gates about a month and a half ago when their respective albums ANTI and Islah were released, barely edging him out for the top spot on the Billboard 200. After that week at number one, Rih's surprise release ceded its spot to Future's EVOL, Kendrick Lamar's untitled unmastered, and of course, Adele's commercial juggernaut 25 in between. Now, after a month at number two or lower, ANTI's back on top. Billboard's chart for the week of March 17th records 54,000 equivalent album units for Rih, 17,000 of which were deemed pure album sales. The rest, 69% of the total, came from streaming. Elsewhere, Adele moves down to number 2, Justin Bieber's Purpose moves up to 3, untitled unmastered falls back to 5, Islah sits at number 9, and Flatbush Zombies' 3001: A Laced Odyssey debuts at number 10 with 28,000 EAUs. Interestingly enough, 24,000 (about 85%) of that number came from pure album sales. So even though they're several rungs below Rihanna, FBZ sold more actual albums this past week.

Wale Plans To Release Two Albums In 2016

Wale announces plans for two 2016 albums, shares details on MMG's "Self Made Vol. 4." Back in January, Wale announced a new album by the name of Shine, giving us the name only and no other details, and now we've got a slight update. In an interview with Complex at SXSW, the MMG rapper spoke on his upcoming fifth album and gave some additional hints about two more new projects. First off, Shine is apparently an acronym that stands for "Still Here Ignoring Negative Energy," and it's about 80% complete. Kehlani and Nez & Rio are involved, but there's no release date yet. In addition, Folarin said that he'll "for sure" have another solo album out in 2016, and will also executive produce MMG's upcoming group project Self Made Vol. 4.

Are Quavo & Rick Ross’ Ex-Fiance, Lira Galore, Dating?

According to rumors, Migos rapper Quavo & Rick Ross' ex, Lira Galore, are reportedly dating. Rumors have been swirling online today that Rick Ross’ ex-fiance, Lira Galore, has a new man in her life and it’s reportedly Migos rapper Quavo. According to TheShadeRoom, Quavo & Lira Galore were spotted together hanging out in the VIP of a club in North Carolina recently. While the video captured (below) doesn’t provide much proof of an exclusive relationship, reports are claiming the two are indeed an item. Galore, who just ended her engagement with MMG’s Rick Ross, had rumors circulating back in November that she had cheated on Rozay with another rapper, causing their first initial break up. She later denied those allegations, but it’s now looking like that may have been Quavo, if true.

Young Thug Reveals Release Date For "Slime Season 3"

Young Thug's does another unique marketing approach to announce the release date for "Slime Season 3." It looks like Young Thug has taken another unique approach for his latest news announcement. A couple weeks ago, Thugger was seen riding around the streets of ATL on horse in support of his upcoming "Hy!£UN35" tour, and now on Friday he did another off-the-wall marketing strategy to promote his upcoming Slime Season 3 project. While down in Austin, Texas for this year’s SXSW Festival, Thugger decided to spray paint a black casket with the SS3 release date, logos, and his YSL apparel line all over it, and have it walk in a funeral procession down Austin’s busy 6th street while being led by a marching band. As expected, the marketing ploy worked, and many bystanders/fans were able to capture pictures of it on social media. As for the Slime Season 3 release date, fans will be happy to hear that it arrives next week, March 25!

Yung Lean’s Tour Bus Shot At In Pittsburgh

Someone is gunning for the Sadboys. Swedish rapper Yung Lean is currently on a US tour in support of his album Warlord, and played a show in Pittsburgh last night. After the show, it appears someone fired shots at Lean’s crew and their tour bus. Pittsburgh SWAT team had to be called to calm things down. Yung Lean confirmed the shooting in a few now-deleted Instagram comments on his post thanking Pittsburgh for the show. We were also able to confirm the presence of SWAT based on a vine posted by Bladee, a frequently collaborator with Lean who’s on tour with him.

Z Rejects Google Play Deal & Signs another deal

We had received word that the Official Vizion camp was making power moves by signing deals with companies like “Freemantle”, but now weve gotten word that rapper/ceo of Official Vizion has denied a deal with google play reported to be worth 500,000-2,000,000! Definitely a large sum of money compared to a normal income! We’re receiving word that Z turned down the deal because he felt that “Official Vizion” could make more money outside of the deal and it would be restricting for the labels growth! Stay tuned for more information on rapper Z aka Zeus!

Offset Is Back In Jail

Offset of Migos was arrested for a suspended driver's license earlier today in Atlanta. Offset is back in jail, though it's clear this charge won't be as serious as the last, as last year, he served a nearly 8-month sentence for drugs and weapons possession and was released at the beginning of December. He was pulled over outside of a sushi restaurant in Atlanta today, reports TMZ, and the cops soon discovered he was driving with a suspended license. It seems that his license had been suspended for failure to pay a $316 parking ticket and failure to appear in court to address said ticket. Offset's attorney, Drew Findling, told TMZ that his client was under the impression that he had paid the necessary amount to lift the suspension on his license, but in any case, he is currently sitting in jail, as Findling reports that Offset won't be eligible for bail until tomorrow morning (Mar. 18). The Migos rapper was released in December partly because he accepted a plea deal that binds him to five years of probation. It's unclear exactly what the terms of his probation sentence are, but they certainly won't help him in escaping his current situation

Jhene Aiko & Dot Da Genius Are Secretly Married

Dot Da Genius confirms on Instagram that he and Jhene Aiko are a married couple. Well here’s something many of us didn’t see coming. Jhene Aiko & producer Dot Da Genius are secretly married! On Wednesday, the producer confirmed the news by wishing his “wife” a very happy 28th birthday on Instagram. "Happy Birthday to my gorgeous wife," the music producer shared. "Happy to be on this quest w/ you!!!" The picture he tagged shows Jhene standing on the altar while wearing a long white wedding dress with a bouquet of flowers in her hand. Meanwhile, Dot Da Genius appears to be placing a nice rock on his wife's left hand (see below). It's unclear when the pair actually exchanged the vows, but they’ve been reportedly dating since 2014. Dot even tweeted out a major hint back in 2014 about tying the knot, but it flew under the radar to most. Big congratulations to the happy couple on their “new” marriage!

Lee Andrews, R&B Singer & Father Of Questlove, Has Passed Away

Our thoughts are with Questlove and his family. Our hearts go out to longtime drummer of The Roots and all-around great dude Questlove, whose father Lee Andrews passed away yesterday. He was 79.

Questlove, real name Ahmir-Khalib Thompson, appears nightly on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and shared a heartfelt message on Instagram. He honored the man who he considers “the greatest teacher in my life.” Questlove recalls touching moments between Lee and himself, including disagreements over his career choice, being able to provide for his father and most importantly Lee’s tenacious parenting.

Kendrick Lamar Calls Lil Wayne "The Greatest"; Weezy Responds

Kendrick Lamar says Lil Wayne is one of his biggest style influences. Kendrick Lamar recently sat down with The Coveteur while out in Manchester, England for an in-depth interview about his new deal with Reebok, fashion, style, and how the youth are shaping the culture. But it was his comments about Lil Wayne, that not only caught the internet’s attention, but the YMCMB boss man himself. It all started when K Dot named Lil Wayne as one of his biggest style influences, before adding that he was “the greatest,” not just musically, but for what he’s down for the culture. K Dot can be quoted, “Yeah, man, we was heavy. That’s a real story like, we was just huge, still to this day, huge Lil Wayne fans. Lil Wayne is the greatest. Not only because of his music but also because of the culture he put behind it. It was a big part of what he was talking about, so we always hold Lil Wayne in high regards. Juvenile as well. And yeah, it’s the impact of them man. To be a part of it the same way he was a part of it years later is just a great feeling.” Not long after the interview had been published, Weezy caught wind of the compliment and took to twitter to acknowledge K Dot. Tune simply stated “Kendrick Lamar a real one #Respek." Read Kendrick’s full interview here, and peep Tunechi’s tweet below. Who would like to see these two do another collab?

Mariah Carey Announces New Docu-Series On E! Network

Mariah Carey will be taking her talents to the small screen on E! network. It looks like Mariah Carey is taking her talents to the small screen. On Tuesday, E! network announced that Mariah has an upcoming 8 part docu-series on the way called "Mariah’s World." The show will reportedly give fans a closer look into Mariah’s personal life, including motherhood, her career, tour life, and relationship with fiance billionaire James Packer. ”I refuse to call it a reality show,” she said to the NY Times. “I thought it would be a good opportunity to kind of, like, show my personality and who I am, even though I feel like my real fans have an idea of who I am,” she explained. “A lot of people have misperceptions about this and that.” With filming beginning two weeks ago, the show is being produced by Bunim/Murray Productions, the same group behind “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” “I Am Cait” and “The Real World.” Jeff Jenkins, executive vice president for programming and development at Bunim/Murray, said that “Mariah’s World” would be shot differently from the company’s other shows

Kanye West Updates “Wolves” Featuring Vic Mensa & Sia

Kanye West releases the updated version of "Wolves" featuring Vic Mensa & Sia. Staying true to his word, Kanye West just released a new updated version of “Wolves” tonight on TIDAL featuring Vic Mensa & Sia, who were on the original version we first heard at the Yeezy 2 fashion show. The Frank Ocean outro has now been added as a separate track entirely on The Life Of Pablo simply dubbed “Frank’s Track.” As for the highly anticipated Drake version we’re still waiting for, that’s anyones guess, but lets hope it’ll still sees the light of day someday. For what it's worth, "Wolves" isn't the first record to be re-worked on either. Just the other day, Kanye fixed "Famous" on Tidal, switching up a couple lines and vocals from Rihanna.

Jay Z Quietly Pulls All 3 "Blueprint" Albums From Spotify

A power move by Sean Carter. After Tidal’s launch last year, Jay Z was quick to pull his seminal debut Reasonable Doubt from Spotify. It would make sense not to allow your competitor to have your music, even if it might eat into streaming royalties. Jay Z has enough money to cover those short-term losses though. For a long time, it looked like Reasonable Doubt would be the only exclusive on Tidal. However, as of last week Jay Z pulled the entire Blueprint series from Spotify as well. While a few singles from The Blueprint, The Blueprint 2, and The Blueprint 3 are still available via compilation albums they appear on, Spotify users can no longer access classic tracks like “Renegade,” “Song Cry” or “On To The Next One.” It’s unclear what took Jay Z so long to pull these albums, but now everyone has just a little bit more incentive to make the switch to Tidal.

Stream Joell Ortiz’s New Album “That’s Hip Hop”

Joell Ortiz gets features from Kool G Rap, Billy Danze of MOP and more. Joell Ortiz is fully a student of New York hip hop, and he wears those influences on his sleeve in his new album That’s Hip Hop. That means dope lyricism that never slows down throughout the album and some OG features in the likes of Billy Danze and Kool G Rap. Fans of turntablism will also be pleasantly surprised to find some work on the ones and twos throughout the album. The beats are fairly old school as well, favoring more mid-tempo boom-bap sounds over trap’s quick snares and booming bass. The most fast-paced part of the album comes from the album’s lyrical buzzsaw of a single, “Kill at Will” featuring Token.

Foxy Brown Endorses Donald Trump

Foxy Brown is leaving the Democratic team for Donald Trump. It looks like Azealia Banks isn't the only female rapper who's endorsing Donald Trump. Brooklyn's own Foxy Brown is also joining team Donald. In a recent interview with New York Daily News, Brown endorsed the billionaire frontrunner and said she would be doing “a lot” for his campaign in the coming months. “I know so many people won’t agree with me and will try to change my mind, but I’m a smart girl,” said Foxy. “I’m excited…I haven’t been this excited in so long.” Brown, who ironically is a lifelong Democrat, said she loves Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, but is most impressed with Trump’s ability to get things done. “No matter how many people sabotage his campaign, it keeps growing and growing and growing,” she said. “I know people say he’s a racist, but that’s just crazy.”

Young Thug Disses Rich Homie Quan At California Concert

Young Thug is back to dissing Rich Homie Quan. A couple of years ago, Atlanta rappers Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug were on similar career trajectories. They often appears on each others songs, most notably with Travi$ Scott on Days Before Rodeo and with Birdman as part of Rich Gang. Since then, Young Thug has further entered the stratospheres of fame while Rich Homie has fallen out of the spotlight a bit. Despite the two emcees’ divergence, fans still clamor for the duo to work together. However, they’ve had a few social media disagreements recently, and it looks like Thugger isn’t quite ready to let those go. At a recent gig in Santa Ana, a fan captured video of Young Thug during the intro to the Rich Gang track “Lifestyle.” In the video below, you can hear Thug say “Hey, fuck Rich Homie” more than once. Young Thug doesn’t seem particularly worked up, but he’s definitely not shouting out his former partner-in-crime in a positive light. Rich Homie hasn’t really spoken on Thugger in a minute, so it’s unclear what would have prompted Young Thug to say this. We’ll see if Rich Homie Quan goes on another TV show to air out his feelings

Lil Wayne Sued For Failing To Pay Lawyer $300,000

Lil Wayne's financial woes continue. Just when Lil Wayne seemed to be righting his often capsized ship, a story like this one comes out. According to the NY Daily News, Lil Wane owes one of his lawyers just shy of $300,000. That isn’t an insurmountable sum for Lil Wayne, but its enough for the Michael B. Kramer to file a lawsuit against his former client for failing to pay up. The suit, filed in New York City, charges that Lil Wayne failed to finish paying after a December 2015 agreement that stated Wayne would pay the money in $20,000 per month installments. Kramer contends that Lil Wayne paid in December and January, but has failed to send any money the lawyers’ way since then. The legal fees stem from when Kramer represented Lil Wayne in his $51 million lawsuit against Birdman. It’s unclear if the lawyer is seeking any damages beyond what he’s owed. Lil Wayne has not issued a statement as of this posting. He also owes $900,000 to the IRS.

Meek Mill & Chief Keef Are Looking To Face Off In Grand Theft Auto V

Meek Mill has found a good way to spend time under house arrest. As of now, Meek Mill is not allowed to record music while serving his 3 month house arrest, so he's settled for the next best thing-- playing video games with fellow rappers. Meek jokingly taunted Chief Keef on Instagram earlier today, throwing up a screencap of his Grand Theft Auto V squad with the suggestion that he's coming to look for the rapper, who's known to be a big fan of the game. It didn't take Sosa long to respond, warning Meek that he shouldn't try him on GTA V "No u aint dont do it meek! We'll fuck yo whole everything up," he said, accompanied by a good helping of cry-laugh emojis. Keef then went on to post a collection of screencaps from his side, claiming he's on the lookout for Meek and his crew. So far, they don't seem to have met up, but we will definitely keep you posted if a face-off ensues. Meanbwhile, OG Maco has also expressed interest in joining in on this battle on Twitter.
