Freeway gears up for “Free At Last”

** Courtesy of DatPiff.com **
Written by FULLMETAL

When you’re under the guide of someone as big as Jay-Z, things can work out pretty well for you. Freeway, one of the ROC’s best, hopes to capitalize off of his boss’ presence, even squeezing a hot verse out of him for his new single “Big Spenders”. Free spoke to MTV recently about the record, and his plans for his new album, “Free At Last”.

“I’m trying to get that big paper,” said Free. “It’s the first single off the album Free at Last. [Me and Jay] go in and out on the last verse; we go eight and eight [bars] on the first two verses. It’s crazy. We just talking that money; what we want, we get. It’s beautiful. We got Dame Grease on the production; we’re just trying to bring it back to where Roc-A-Fella is supposed to be.”

Originally slated to debut last July, it’s safe to say Free At Last has gone through the motions on its journey to release. Free claims that this is partly due to the ending of Jay and Dames partnership, and a changing of the way business was done at Def Jam . He also endured personal problems at the time, including a battle with himself, being torn between his faith and his music.

“Everybody knows I’m Muslim,” he began explaining. “I made my pilgrimage, I traveled to Mecca. Me being Muslim, I’m not even supposed to be doing music. It takes away from the remembrance of God. For me and for the other [Muslims] in the world, the time they are listening to my music, they could be reading, studying the Koran. The time I’m doing music, I could be studying the Koran. Me knowing that’s the right thing to do and I’m doing something wrong, I had to buckle down and get myself together. ‘Do I really wanna do this? Do I really wanna go against my God like that?’ I came up with the conclusion, and here we go.

“I got that love for it and the passion,” he added. “I’m doing so good, it keeps coming. And I gotta keep feeding my family. So, like [ Mike Jones'] song ‘What We Do Is Wrong,’ that’s how I look at it. We all are sinners, but I repent and ask God to forgive for the things I do.”

Free has a Don Cannon hosted mixtape releasing this upcoming week titled “Live Free or Die Hard”, the warm up for “Free At Last”, which is rumored to hit stores in the Fall.

Ill Eagle The Anti-Rapper’s

There are many cliques that hang together and people try to fit into or end up being excluded from the “cool crowds”. Ill Eagle admits this is how he started rapping “I was generally a well liked guy, but I wouldn’t say I had many friends; I wasn’t sure of who I was and who I wanted to be. When all my friends were rapping, and I wanted to do it; turns out I’m pretty good at it”. Discovering his new talent took him a step closer to finding out what he wanted to do with his life. “As I began to figure out who I am, and where I belong, rapping stuck with me; and now it’s EVERYTHING.” Don’t expect to see Ill Eagle to look like the typical rapper though; many are surprised to find out that he raps when they see this tall guy dressed in black with a band logo on his shirt with chains and studs as part of his regular attire. “My style came about because I just saw some really dope vintage clothes and because I support bands. I always liked interesting clothes, but I never wore them because I wanted to fit in; when I came to grips with just being me, I was able to let go and do as I please”. He doesn’t have a problem letting people know that he isn’t perfect; he does not wish to portray a superhuman image of himself. Instead, Ill Eagle wants the world to see his flaws and imperfections. Ill Eagle says “I want the world to know that I do not like my self-image. I want the world to see that I struggle with myself and who I am.” You can hear the many sides of Ill Eagle in his music; he tends to blend his influences of hip hop, metal, and trance in his music. This has lead to fans of all types of music to become fans of his music. Ill Eagle is the voice of the present and future, he’s destined to be a superstar!

DJ Mixx

It was June 1982, and songs like “Planet Rock”, and artists like RUN DMC and Michael Jackson were dominating the airways. Then, in the city of Providence, Rhode Island, a teenager once known as Bernard Batey walked into a local bar to chat with a longtime family friend, who happened to be the bar’s DJ, about playing his upcoming birthday party. What ended up happening was while the friend was trying to talk to his girlfriend, Bernard filled in for him. Fueled by his overwhelming love for music of all genres, and bitten by the DJ bug, he began helping his friend at the bar, and other mobile functions. During this time he was doing an internship at a local college radio station that played R&B and Soul music on Sunday afternoons, which was not authorized by the high school he was attending at the time. “Radio was what I always wanted to do,” says Bernard. “I was tailor made for music, and yeah, I somewhat feel that music was tailor made for me”. He goes on to say, “My mother once told me that she figured that one day I’d do something with music because when I was a baby, the only way to get me to sleep, was to put a little radio in my crib. I found that funny because to this day, I usually cannot get to sleep without the radio or TV”. In the years to follow, Bernard began to branch out and get to work with other club DJs, and by 1983, he became a bonafied nightclub DJ. By 1991, DJ Bernard Batey had played most of the top clubs in Providence, RI. The pinnacle for him at that time was when he was the DJ for comedian Chris Rock during a show held in RI. That year, he decided it was time to make a change. “I felt like I had done all I could there at the time, so I just packed up and left for the West Coast”.

He moved to San Jose, CA, and took a short break from the industry, or as he puts it, “I had to decide on whether or not I wanted to be a DJ anymore, because I just wasn’t feeling it”. After encouragement from a friend and fellow jock, he jumped back in full force. In less than two short years, he was working at local clubs, and an active member of the SOBAD Record Pool. “I could not believe it. Here I was, real nightclubs in both San Jose and San Francisco playing real music, and my very first record pool membership. Life was good”. Then after one more hiatus from late 1994 to early 1996 to run a Limousine service, he rejoined SOBAD, and within two years, he became the pool’s Director. Not to mention forming his own business, ELN Entertainment, which allowed him to produce mixes for SOBAD’s website, and numerous club and mobile functions around the Northern California area. “ELN stands for Exquisite Limousine Network. It was a couple of partners and myself, and we had a decent business. Our biggest account was a promoter who booked all of the Urban shows the came to the Bay Area like Boyz II Men, Patti LaBelle, Babyface, and Puff Daddy, just to name a few. When I first joined SOBAD, I didn’t take it seriously, so I was ass out for a while. Trying to run Limos, it didn’t concern me when I wasn’t spinning anymore, but I’m back”.

Now known as Bernard Miller and in 1994, he changed his DJ name from “DJ Bernard Batey” to “DJ Spinbad”. In late 2003, he resigned as SOBAD’s Director. He has also held residencies with both StageOne Presents Inc. and PDM Enterprises; two San Jose, CA based promotions groups, and still continues to play clubs from Seattle, Washington to Providence, Rhode Island. In March 2004, he added Winter Music Conference, Miami Beach to his extensive resume. In 2001, not only did Bernard go through a painful divorce, in which he’ll only say, “I’ll never trust anyone enough to let go of that much of myself ever again”, he was forced to change his jock name yet again, this time to something that as other jocks, and club goers put it, “fits him perfectly”. “As of September 2001, the name is now “DJ Mixx”, although my colleagues still continue to call me “Spinbad” because they say that it’s me. I received an e-mail in September of that year from a “DJ Spinbad” whom from what I didn’t know, is Moby’s DJ, and is famous the world over, or so I hear. If I’m not serviced with it, and it doesn’t have a name on it, then there’s a chance that I don’t know you, because I don’t shop for much music, and I don’t buy mixtapes, unless it’s house and someone I know, and/or like. In 2004, Mixx took on a business partner, who also acts as business manager, and they renamed the company “In Tha Mixx Entertainment”. “I wanted to remove any reminders of my past business life that may have included my ex-wife, and she was a part of ELN. Yes I’m still here, kickin’ ass, takin’ names, and no prisoners, and I ain’t going nowhere”. Now I’m about to make a huge change to my life once again. I’m moving back to Providence, Rhode Island, and I’m taking my entire business with me. I’m older, wiser, and ready to be closer to my family”.

Giving entire credit for all of his success to GOD, DJ Mixx lives and breathes music and it shows when he steps up to the decks. His knowledge of music is wide based. From Old School to Hip-Hop to House music, and many other genres also, his skills are known coast to coast, and a few places in between. If you get the chance to hear him spin, DON’T MISS IT!!!!!

Fabolous Gun Charges Tossed

Josh GrossbergThu

Street dreams are made of these.

A Manhattan judge formally dropped illegal weapons charges against Fabolous stemming from an incident last fall in which the hip-hopster was ambushed and shot in the leg. En route to the hospital, he wound up in police custody after officers found two loaded, unlicensed pistols in the car he was riding in.

“I wish I could tell you we’re so happy, but the fact of the matter is these charges should never have been brought in the first place,” the rapper’s attorney, Alberto Ebanks, told E! Online.

Ebanks says that prosecutors conducted a thorough investigation and told the court they did not have enough evidence to prove the 27-year-old Brooklyn emcee and his three codefendants actually were the owners of the handguns.

“We were saying from day one, these charges had no merit,” said Ebanks. “He was only guilty of trying to get to the hospital after he was shot. But he’s relieved it’s over.”

Fabolous, aka John Jackson, and three members of his posse were partying at Justin’s, a popular eatery and nightclub in Chelsea owned by Sean “Diddy” Combs. During the course of the evening, somebody swiped a $50,000 chain off the neck of then Boston Celtics guard Sebastian Telfair. Soon after, Fabolous’ group was standing in a parking garage near the restaurant when an unidentified male opened fire on them.

The “Make Me Better” rapper took a bullet in the right thigh and was helped into a white Dodge Magnum by the other men and the quartet sped off to a nearby hospital. On the way, they ran a red light, which drew the attention of a patrol car.

Police pulled over the car and a search turned up a 9mm and .40 caliber handgun. The foursome was placed under arrest; however, Fabolous was allowed to continue to Bellevue Hospital to receive treatment for the gunshot wound, then transferred to the city jail.

The four men were booked on five counts, including criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a defaced firearm, charges which carried 15 years in the slammer.

Charges against Fabolous’ compatriots were also dismissed.

R&B artist Mario gets personal on 3rd album

By Gail MitchellMon Jun 18, 5:23 PM ET

Celebrating his 21st birthday in June, R&B singer Mario is already dreaming about where he sees himself in the future.

“My biggest dream is to become heavy in commercial real estate — to sit back and watch my buildings go up,” he said.

For now, the multiplatinum-selling artist will have to be content watching his new single, “How Do I Breathe,” climb the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart (at No. 26) and Hot 100 Airplay (No. 69). The song is the lead track from Mario’s new album, “Go,” due August 21.

The project, his third for J Records, continues the teen-to-adult transition Mario began in late 2004 with the release of “Turning Point.” That album’s hallmark was the long-running R&B/pop crossover hit “Let Me Love You,” co-written by Ne-Yo.

Ne-Yo is among the collaborators on “Go,” having contributed the song “What’s It Gonna Be,” about a woman playing a guy at his own game. Additional producers and songwriters on the album include Akon, the Neptunes, Timbaland, Polow da Don and Sean Garrett. Under the banner of his production team the Nightriders, Mario also co-wrote several songs.

“This is an awesome time for us right now,” Mario (whose last name is Barrett) said when asked about his place amid such R&B artists as Tank, Lloyd, Ne-Yo and Akon. “We’re the next generation of Marvins, Stevies and Jackie Wilsons. It’s friendly competition where we’re unconsciously feeding off each other.”

PASSION AND INTROSPECTION

The more mature feel of “Go” underscores how much Mario has grown musically since those not-so-long ago teen idol days of early hits “Just a Friend 2002″ and “Braid My Hair.” One of the songs he co-wrote for the new album is possible second single “Kryptonite,” which he calls a “passionate anthem about a 20-year-old trying to stay in a committed relationship.”

The most surprising track is the introspective “Do Right,” co-written by Mario and produced by Akon. The song stems from a painful chapter in Mario’s life that he has been reluctant to discuss: his mother’s drug addiction.

“I wanted to do something that would allow my fans to come a bit closer,” he said. “I’m letting people know that I may have experienced some of the same things they have.”

So much so that he agreed to let MTV film a documentary on his family life. The film exposes what was happening behind closed doors as Mario, the oldest of several siblings, juggled a troubled home life in Baltimore while dreaming of a music career.

Mario has matured businesswise as well. In 2006, he sued former manager Troy Patterson and Patterson’s Third Street Music Group to void an “oppressive” production deal. The complaint charged that under the contract Mario signed with Patterson — who discovered and later sheltered a minor Mario during his mother’s bouts with drugs — the singer received only about $50,000 from the sale of more than 3 million records. Those units generated about $20 million for J Records. After Patterson filed a countersuit in April 2006, the dispute was settled in January 2007. Mario is now managed by J. Erving of J. Erving Group.

Now on the other side of those personal and business issues, Mario declares that he “definitely knows what I want and who I am. It’s about creating a legacy. As I experience more things, I’ll be able to relate more with people on a different level. Creating music for life; that’s more important than anything to me.”

ATLANTA, GA June 14, 2007 Less than six months after the most catastrophic event of his career rocked the mixtape industry, DJ Drama makes his triumphant return to feed the streets. Mr. Thanksgiving aka Barack ODrama announced today the release of Gangsta Grillz 16. Forgoing the tradition that has made the Gangsta Grillz Hip-Hops hottest mixtape series, the upcoming release, entitled The Streets Been Waitin, will not boast a celebrity host, with Drama doing the honors himself. Gangsta Grillz 16 will of course pack the usual mix of exclusive new releases and unreleased remixes, including cuts by Young Jeezy, Lil Boosie, Gucci Mane, Big Kuntry and the Aphilliates Music Groups own Willie The Kid.

Hip-Hop Press

Dramas latest effort marks the first official Gangsta Grillz since he and Aphilliates co-founder DJ Don Cannon were arrested earlier this year, sending the mixtape community in an uproar. The two found themselves in a see of turmoil after their Atlanta offices were raided on the evening of January 16, 2007. While most were shocked by the RIAA sanctioned raid and many within the Hip-Hop community voiced their support, Drama feels more needs to be done to protect the important resource mixtapes have become. All these artists and DJs who have benefited off the mixtape game and found success need to step up and take charge, says Drama. The mixtape game is too important for us to let it go to the wayside.

Pledging to feed the streets for the rest of his life, Drama is already hard at work on the next few installments of the Gangsta Grillz series. Over the next few months, fans can to see collaborations between Drama and Fabolous, Gucci Mane, Gorilla Zoe, and Willie The Kid, to name a few. He is also completing Gangsta Grillz the Album, though a release date has not been set by his label, Atlantic Records.

DJ Drama continues to hold down his duties as T.I.s official tour DJ. He also hosts two weekly radio programs alongside DJ Don Cannon and DJ Sense, the third founding member of The Aphilliates collective. You can catch them each Friday from 8-10pm on Streetz Is Watchin on Sirius Satellite Radio station Shade 45. Saturday evenings, the trio hosts Gangsta Grillz Radio from 8-10pm on Atlantas Hot 107.9 (WHAT-FM). For more information, please visit www.gangstagrillz.com or www.myspace.com/djdrama.
