This past weekend, red hot producers J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League were in Chicago for the Global Mixx music conference. After their panel on music publishing and production, I spoke with them about their upcoming projects (Alicia Keys, Plies, etc.) and you know I had to ask them about the double placement of one of their beats on…

4-Ize links with Gangsta L and The Cannon (the-the-the-the CANNON) for an ode to how they do most things better than us normal folk do it.  I see a lot of good work is going down in the A. 4-Ize feat. GLC – “Ridin In The Best” (Prod. by Don Cannon)

After a brief hiatus, Lotter Pick TV returns with a quick update from the Lottery Pick, himself. He’s live in the lab with Hu$tle of Glacier City, so by simply connecting the dots it would appear that he’s working on something with Lungz. Did I win the Grand Prize Game? Also, RH has a dope…

Wow.  Newsense (of Psychodrama) hops on the Salty Train and puts Twista, R. Kelly, Common, Shawnna and Lupe Fiasco on blast for their lack of participation and guidance of Chicago’s youth.  Apparently she asked all of the aforementioned artists to help (in one way or another) at her youth center, and none of them came to action. …
