Lil Waynes Signs Jae Millz




Lil' Wayne has signed Harlem rapper Jae Millz to his Young Money Entertainment imprint, with a new remix set to hit radio in weeks.

Weezy recently made the announcement during a concert to a packed house in Newark NJ. [Watch some exclusive clips form the show here]

Millz confirmed the deal to Complex magazine.

"Yeah, we just drawing up the paperwork, but I've been rocking with [Lil Wayne] since the first week in 2008," the rapper said via a text message. "I've just been keeping stuff low, but Young Money is what it is, and I'm still Wanna Blow. The 'Holla At A Playa Remix' is going to be out in two weeks. We're moving, Young Moola Baby!"

Though Wayne is keeping it moving on the business side, the self-proclaimed greatest rapper alive has spent more time in court than on stage recently.

He just pleaded not guilty to two weapons charges in NYC and is facing drug and weapons charges in Arizona as well.

Shyne Receiving a Early Release




After nearly 7 years, former Bad Boy artist Shyne is expected to be released from prison this year on good behavior.

According to the New York Post's Page Six, the Brooklyn rapper (born Jamal Barrow), who has been incarcerated since 2001, will exit the jail confines a year earlier than his expected 2009 release date. He is currently serving a 10-year jail sentence at Woodbourne Correctional Facility stemming from a 1999 New York club shooting.

The rapper was part of a crew accompanying Sean "Diddy" Combs, his then girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez, and bodyguard Anthony "Wolf" Jones when Diddy got into a beef with another club goer, Mathew "Scar" Allen. Three people were struck when shots rang out and while Diddy, Shyne and J-Lo were all arrested after leading police on a short chase, the charges only stuck to Shyne. Combs and Lopez were free and clear.

The Puffy protege was convicted after witness Cerise Myers testified that she saw him pull his gun and begin firing. The rapper spoke out to media outlets shortly after his conviction alleging that Diddy had convinced Myers to lie on the stand.

Shyne inked a $3 million dollar deal with Def Jam from behind bars in 2004 and released the album Godfather Buried Alive under the label but album sales were disappointing. No word on whether Shyne plans to return to rapping after his release.

Though slated to be released for good behavior, Shyne hasn't always been the model prisoner. In '05 he was thrown in the hole for two months after getting into an altercation with another inmate.

In related news, Shyne's father Dean Barrow was elected prime minister of Belize earlier this month, the first black person to hold that office, according to USA Today.

Juvenile Daughter Murdered




Seventeen year old Anthony Terrell Jr. was arrested and charged Friday with killing his mother and two younger sisters.

Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Deputy Joy Deleston, 39, and her two daughters, Micaiah, 11, and Jelani, 4, were found late Thursday at their home near Lawrenceville, Ga.

The motive for the killings is still under investigation and according to various news sources, the youngest victim Jelani was the daughter of rapper Juvenile.

Terrell is being held without bail in the neighboring DeKalb County jail to avoid any potential conflict because his mother worked for Gwinnett County.

Jeff Beaird, who lived across the street from the family, said he often saw Terrell playing basketball or washing his mother’s patrol car in the driveway but doesn’t remember anything out of the ordinary. “It’s so shocking because you don’t expect something like this to happen,” he said.

Fat Joe Challenges 50 cent




More Fighting Words. Hip-Hop's longest running war of words just went into another round. Fat Joe has laid down a challenge to 50 Cent to square off in a one on one fist fight. Joey Crack says he has made the offer to 50 "a million times" already, but Curtis has refused. Joe even counts himself as an underdog. "He's cock diesel," said Joe. "He should win." But the one thing Joe wants to do most during this clash is to "bust them f*cking new teeth that n*gga got."

Bill this one as Butterbean vs. Bugs Monkey. Really, how hard is it for these two cats to find each other to get this on already?

MORE PROBLEMS WITH DIPSET




Un-Diplomatic. Is this the end of the Dipset? After taking a neutral stance in the on-going feud between Jim Jones and Cam'ron, Juelz Santana is finally revealing his own issues with Cam. During an interview with New York's Hot 97 radio, Juelz readily admits that the reason his album has been in limbo for so long is a direct result of Cam's shady behavior of late.

"Me and Cam gotta work some things out, bottom line," Juelz said. "I came in the game when I was young right, so it's no reason for me - to have accomplished and did as much as I did - to be getting treated the same way as I was treated when I just came in."

Despite all their suspect antics over the years, one must admit that the demise of the Dipset crew is not good for hip-hop. At the height of their popularity the Harlem bunch brought an air of excitement to the game, especially Cam. From rocking pink to the silly scarfy look, the Dips are (unfathomably) considered trendsetters in hip-hop culture. And with Cam owning the rights to the Dipset name it's going to be a while before this one gets resolved. Why can't hip-hop crews come together and stay together?

Honestly, isn't it kind of foul for Cam to pull a stunt like this on Juelz after all he went through with Jay-Z and Def Jam? Wonder who Juelz thinks is a better boss now, Jay or Cam?

Meanwhile, Jim Jones has unrelated artist problems of his own. Former Byrdgang member Max B is going hard at the Dipset capo.
