Combat Jack of Ihiphop got the low down about how Wayne is holding up in Rikers Island so far since he has been inside. Apparently Jack has a direct connection to a prison guard who works for rikers and have gotten some serious exclusives on several rappers who ended up there. From DMX to others, because of his direct contact he decided to do a Wayne rikers diary on the website. From prison guards acting like groupies, to Wayne having limited security and also being placed in the general population, it would seem that Wayne has yet to get situated to real prison life read his report below.
Weezy stans went crazy the day he had to go to court. The Newyork post caught video footage of Wayne being bombarded by photographers and fans alike, each trying to get a piece of Wayne before he went to jail. At one point it looked like the crowd was getting out of hand check out the footage below.
Weezy parties it up with Baby and crew this past weekend before he had to turn himself in to court today pop the hood to see who all he partied with below.
I don’t know about you but the above pic is a rather scary sight to see. Diamonds and gold or not that visual scares the hell out of me. It has to be the money that he popping out so many kids from so many beautiful women. SMH. Anyway Weezy shows off his new grillz check out pic below.

Erykah Badu had a new video out with Lil Wayne titled “Jump in the air”. Never thought I would ever see these two collab. But it turned out to be a decent track holla back.
Swazy Baby should be commended. While other up and coming artists are busy trying to bury their underground past, Swazy Baby continues to capitalize on his. And why not? It was using mixtapes as a way to build his buzz up intially, Swazy caught the eye of Bigga Rankin.
Clicking up with B-Rich and TJ Chapman, B.o.B was able to turn his underground success into a deal with Atlantic Records.After a slew of critically acclaimed mixtapes, cross-country tours and commercial placements B.o.B still has that spark in his eyes and energy in his voice that he did when I first saw him on stage.
The 90’s was great era for hip-hop but it was equally great for R&B. Many acts have come and go since then, but the foursome of Jagged Edge has seemed to have staying power. Since their dropping their debut single "The Way That You Talk" back in 1997, JE has been a regular site on the R&B scene.
C-Ride is used to the spotlight, even if you’re not used to his name yet. The Florida representor has been a staple of the Epidemic Music/Polo Grounds team for years now. After making a name for himself on the underground, he’s ready to make his presence known in the mainstream.
"I aint never left the scene! I’m always grinding." Bold words like that are normally served for underground artists still trying to get their buzz up. You wouldn't expect an artists who has signed to major deals, posted hit records and has sold units to still speak about grinding it out. But Yo Gotti isn't the average artist
