DTP Re-Signed

Ludacris’ Disturbing Tha Peace imprint (DTP) has re-signed a long term distribution deal with Island Def Jam Music Group, effectively debunking rumors that Island Def Jam had dropped the Atlanta-based label.

Rumors began to circulate last week that DTP had been dropped by IDJ’s Chairman, Antonio “L.A.” Reid, after a showcase the label sponsored last week.

Today, that rumor was laid to rest when Ludacris, Chaka Zulu and Jeff Dixon announced a new long term distribution deal for DTP.

“The Atlanta Hip-Hop scene and the Dirty South movement in general owe more than they can ever repay to Chris,” Antonio “L.A.” Reid told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “Our friendship stretches back more than a decade and I never cease to be amazed at his imagination, creativity, and most of all his outrageous sense of humor.”

According to Reid, changing business conditions in the music industry means that both labels will be reviewing their respective rosters “to ensure that future opportunities and challenges are aggressively achieved.”

“Ludacris has built Disturbing Tha Peace into one of the iconic names in hip-hop, one that will remain an important part of the Island Def Jam family.”

Ludacris is currently working on his sixth album, titled Theater of The Mind.

According to Ludacris, the new album is the sum of all of his previous albums rolled into one release.

“It almost plays out like a movie, the whole album does,” Ludacris told AllHipHop.com. “You’re going to feel like you’re a part of it. Each song, it all blends itself together and it’s theatrical. Music is supposed to be emotional, you put yourself in the environment, you put yourself in the atmosphere, it’s kind of like that..”

Game Starts 60

The Game checked into jail Sunday night at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles, according to TMZ.com. The rapper is set to serve a 60-day jail sentence after pleading no contest to a felony charge of possession of a firearm in a school zone.
According to various reports, he'll be segregated from the general population..

The charge stems from an altercation at the Rita Walters Educational Learning Complex in South L.A.. Prosecutors allege Game pulled a gun from his car and threatened to shoot an opposing player in a basketball game.

Despite the no contest plead, Game maintained his innocence in a recent interview with Monsta Magazine.

"The crazy part about this is that I've had guns before in my life," Game told Monsta. "But this time, I didn't have a gun. And because one person said I had a gun and coaxed his homies into saying that I had a gun, I'm in a predicament where I'm asking, 'Do I want to spend another million dollars to fight this trial, so who knows what jury's gonna come in and say I'm guilty? Or do I want to save my money, go sit down for four months and accept this felony they're trying to give me for no reason.'"

Thats some real G shit but thats not a good picture to send kids.But also can be good for next ablum sells.

Damn

The four year old daughter of Louisiana rapper Juvenile was fatally wounded after her seventeen year old brother, Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr., allegedly gunned down his mother, Gwinnett County Sheriff's Deputy Joy Deleston, 39, and his two small sisters, Micaiah, 11, and Jelani, 4.

According to TMZ, Jelani was the daughter of the "Slow Motion" hit maker.

In 2003 Juvenile was arrested for abandonment of a dependent child after a DNA test determined he was the father.

Juvenile, real name, Terius Gray, nor his music label, Atlantic Records, could not be reached for comments.

T.I. Update

You may be excused for forgetting this even went down because it surprisingly hasn't been mentioned in a while, but TI was arrested before the BET Hip-Hop Awards last October for allegedly sending his bodyguard to buy several machine guns from an undercover ATF agent; as well as silencers, which are illegal in the state of Georgia.

StreetHop.com has just received word that the 27 year old rapper has officially been offered a plea deal of 15 years with a minimum mandatory sentance of 13; which means that even with good behavior he wont see freedom until the year 2021.

A 15 year plea? Really? Fuck! If that's the plea, which I doubt he accepts, what's the full sentance? One has to wonder whether or not the silencers, which result in the bulk of the sentance, were thrown in as a "bonus" from the undercover ATF agent; they're nice like that.

Keep your head up Tip!
