In a true testament to the nature of the music industry, witness the career of Last Emporer. One of most talented emcees to come out of the late 90’s, he has been shelved by label after label (Aftermath, Rawkus) despite making some incredible music. The wait for the official Last Emporer album appears to be over though, as he has just inked a deal with Raptivism. The untitled album will hit stores in late August thru an agreement with the artist’s own Red Planet imprint. The album will feature production from Prince Paul, the Beatminerz, Ayatollah, Set Free, and Big Tyke. Say word…
Hip-hop’s most innovative producer (and damn fine emcee), J-Zone is finished with his fourth solo offering. “$ick of Being Rich” drops this summer via Fat Beats/Old Maid Entertainment. Guests include Masta Ace, J-Ro, Celph Titled and of course Old Maid Billionairs Al Shid and Dick $tallion…
The OST for the upcoming movie “Bad Boys 2” starring Will Smith & Martin Lawrence will drop in July 15th on Bad Boy. The album will feature Notorious B.I.G., 50 Cent, Justin Timberlake, Lenny Kravitz, Beyonce Knowles, Loon, Carl Thomas and more.
