The anti-gang intervention worker who robbed Bizzy Bone has been sentenced to 12 years in prison, leading to criticism of publicly funded anti-gang programs.
Slaughterhouse keeps it simple, Wyclef slashes his video budget, Jimmy Fallon showcases the old and new versions of Brooklyn and Trinity pays tribute to the late, great Roc Raida.
Superstar, have no fear! The Cool is here! Well… not quite… Lupe Fiasco’s latest hipster-hop masterpiece doesn’t hit shelves until December 18. A concept album of sorts, the cool is a metaphorical face-off between the streets and the game. Both take on all the features of a living, breathing character as the pulse of The Cool kicks in. And with production by Soundtrakk, Mike Shinoda and Patrick Stump, it’s a hell of a pulse. With cameos by everyone from local unknowns to Snoop Dogg, we know you can’t wait another minute for The Cool, so we’re streaming it live, free and in full, RIGHT NOW, only on The Leak.
