Long Island, New York emcee/producer Roc Marciano preluding his forthcoming 13th LP Criminal Jazz with a brand new EP. Beginning in the very late 90’s as a member of the Flipmode Squad, he then went solo in 2008 to drop classic albums that would pave the way for those like Griselda such as Marcberg & Reloaded. He would begin focusing on producing projects for other artists like Flee Lord & Bronze Nazareth following Mt. Marci & of course returning to enlist The Alchemist to fully produce The Elephant Man’s Bones & The Skeleton Key couple years apart from each other, both of which I gave perfect scores to. Once I heard one of my top 3 producers DJ Premier was fully…
Fat Joe is calling out Paramount Global for scrapping the Hip-Hop Awards while still throwing cash at other shows, and he’s not sugarcoating a thing. During a convo on his “Joe And Jada” show, the Bronx legend sounded off about the network pulling the plug on the BET Hip-Hop Awards and Soul Train Awards, blaming it on corporate greed and what he flat-out called “gentrification.” “This is a form of gentrification.

The shooting took place outside The Nice Guy nightclub in Hollywood…
