Jay-Z Performs New Verse at Barclays Center
During the first ever live event to be held at the Barclays Center, Jay-Z goes on to surprise fans by reciting a brand new verse. During a moment of silence, Hov spit the following acapella for the sold out crowd.
This is Rich Porter, part two
You can stunt like that when you’re rich before your debut
Money and the murder, rapper or the trapper
Either way I’m gonna serve ya
Shooters on my team… No really, I got shooters on my team
Juan or Deron
How you n*ggas want it, pick a arm
They call me Lucky Lefty…
Ball so hard I don’t respect the f*ckin’ referees.

With the latest single from the upcoming G.O.O.D. Music compilation surfacing earlier this week, Nashville DJ/producer Wick-it the Instigator comes through with a reworking of his own for Clique.

New York Senator Wants Public Apology from Lil Wayne
In case you hadn't heard, during a recent interview with MTV, Lil Wayne went so far as to saying that he flat-out does not like New York. Expectantly, the strong statement has caused somewhat of an uproar throughout the Empire State, so much so that one NY senator, Malcolm Smith, is asking for a public apology from the Young Money rapper.
"New York City is the birthplace of the Hip Hop music movement. Millions of New Yorkers listen to his music every day. His comments is outraged his local fans and residents. The group today will be demanding an apology of the hip hop star. Lil Wayne has had misfortune in New York with recent gun charges and a jail sentence."

With less than 24 hours to go until DJ Khaled’s Kiss The Ring album drops, the producer drops off another double-track video that includes dancehall artisan Mavado. Suicidal starts off the clip and acts as a homage to the everyday struggles that certain elements of the Jamaican population endure on a daily basis. Aktion Pak vastly contrasts in terms of ambiance with the pace picking up significantly and the inclusion of scantily clad women. A track that is sure to be heard in clubs over the coming weeks/month. Watch the clip above and Kiss The Ring is out tomorrow...
