DirtySouthHipHop.com - From The MailRoom: September 9th 1991, Stephan "Mailman" lee Smith was conceived at St. Vincent Hospital Jacksonville, FL.
Just
the average troublesome child raised on the north side of town, mailman
lee became an extremely fast learning due to his environment but not so
much as a product...At the age of ten Mailman grew up on Detallie drive
off of Cleveland road, a ruff side of town only to move to another
rural part of town, Pellafox and Flagstreet area where mailman found
himself becoming a superstar rap artist ....since a young age mailman
was fatherless, but with many inspirations of music running through his
family. Mailmans Uncle Hollywood, Uncle Maul, Uncle Milk and his newly
found manager Uncle Rome became very influential, but the making of a
boy to a young man was more important than the music. at a young age
mailman matured rapidly fast on the business side of the music as well
as recording as early as 12 years old with Uncle Maul. (fonder of Get
Money Mafia A.k.a Black MOB)
Music seems to be the common genetic in the family, even Grandma can
get you caught up in a lyrical feud that you might falter to. see
Grandma got something to say as well as Mailmans Mother can radio disk
jockey...the it factor was already instilled before Mailman proclaimed
himself the freestyle king of North Florida. Artist like Biggie smalls
and the down south movement took its toll on mailman so his rap style
developed into a new era down south style. more of a lyric-sis with a
down bounce. family members like mailman cousin Chase from flight music
was an artist already on his own mission encouraged mailman to succeed
within the life-style and the image of a legit rap artist...(submitted by label)

From the ladies to the gents, New York to Atlanta, the cast members of the Love and Hip-hop
series have had their run-ins with the law. In the hip-hop culture it’s
not a surprise that some have records. What is surprising is the fact
that majority of the cast are women and they have the records! Wow! On
another note the Jones’ (Jim, Chrissy, and Nancy) have somehow found a
way to hide their mug shots from the world. This being said, we know for
a fact that Jim has had run-ins with the law and been arrested in
public and Chrissy’s ghetto princesses story runs deep with drug lords
and rappers. With the changing of cast members the mug shots will only
continue to come!
Pictures and Video:
Jim Jones was involved in a crazy brawl last night in Connecticut which
resulted in him getting arrested, but not before it took five cops and a
little bit of mace to subdue him ... TMZ has learned.
JAG is a Hip Hop artists out of
Steubenville, OH. He is currently signed to WiseGuy Entertainment and
has done collabs with legendary artists like Ghostface Killah of Wu-Tang Clan and Jim Jones. We wanted to check in with him to get the
drop on his latest projects, shows, and thoughts on the negative
attention that his camp has recieved from the press in Steubenville, OH.
JAG clears up all the misconceptions and airs out the BEEF he has with
certain individuals in and outside of the rap game! Sourced from: Raphead.com

For those who don't know Femi The Drifish and The Out Of Water Experience went to compete in the Battle of the Bands for Afro Punk FEST
in New York City but they didn't bring home the gold, but they ammed and rocked
out real good and some things are possibly in the works (can't speak on it till
its solid). Here are a few words from Femi,
"I'd want to thank the band for just being down for going into a battle of
the bands in another city where we were the visitors. I have to thank the ladies
that came down with us, y'all hold a dude down lovely and made us look good. Gotta
thank the New York crew that originated from bmore/DC who came to support us, I'm
straight honored y'all good folk came out and brought a few folks with y'all. I
don't want to forget the folks that made donations to our trip, every penny worth
millions to us. Whether we win or not we can't dwell on then when we have now to
work and prepare for the next jam coming up. Just want to let y'all Kat know that
I appreciate y'all."
Its been a lovely folks, hope to see you in Femi The DriFish & The Out
Of Water eXperience future shows.
Talk to you later
Femi
"Femi
has built a continual collaboration with other artists who love this sort of boundary-pushing
play. The Out of Water eXperience is certainly included amongst them..." — Dharna
Noor, What Weekly
"He is of a rare breed of musician
who can put on a consistently high quality show whether on an arena stage or in
a dive bar in the middle of nowhere." — Luis Mejia, LUCHOXXXART
"If OLD DIRTY BASTARD, FREDDY MERCURY
& FELA KUTI all had an orgy with the chick from THE RING, the left over pool
of spluge would take on life as a liquid-form symbiotic creature like CARNAGE (Spider-man)
that would give birth to who we now know as FEMI THE DRI FISH!" — Luis

school and jumped right into it, performing all around his new city and

fans who always say "Kirby is Tha Hottest".
Kirby Tha Hottest has a large female fan base and a very strong male following. Kirby Tha Hottest became
known nationally for his hit single "I Got White Friend" produced by
Marco B., he followed that up with another hit single "True Love" ft.

groupmate Prodigy over Twitter a few months ago. The two have not been
the same since, and Havoc says he is ready to admit the truth about
those tweets. Check out what he told Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur of

“The tweets is crazy,” said Havoc. “So it was you?” asked Creekmur.
“Yeah,” said Havoc. “And I was speaking of a stand point of being mad,
but still being truthful of how I felt – but it was just the wrong thing
to do at that time.”
As for the state of Mobb Deep, Havoc says they are taking a break.
“Right now Mobb Deep is on hiatus, indefinitely…until things get
hashed out,” Havoc told AllHipHop.com. “Eventually, the real story will
come out; there’s two sides to every story. Only one has been spoken
for.” View video below of Havoc revealing the truth about why he tweeted and spoke out about the Prodigy gay rumors.

HipHopStories.net - We
all watched as Diddy put together the talents of 5 young men, Willie,
Robert, Mike, Brian and Que on MTV's Making the Band 4. We may have
even all cheered for their success and crossed our fingers that they
would not meet the same fate as Da Band and Danity Kane. After 5 years
of trying to hold the group together, (despite Que quitting the group in
2009) the remaining members decide to part ways.
The group released an official statement
on July 16th informing their fans that the group had decided to break
up and focus on individual projects. Willie, of Illinois spoke with
HipHopStories.net about the break and his next steps.
Willie acknowledged
that the success of the group was only possible because of Diddy and
Bad Boys and that there is definitely not a Bad Boy Curse. He indicated
that the break had more to do with each member living so far apart and
their varying ideas of the groups direction.
Willie
has just released a single " Instagram" that he wrote and is currently
working on the "Reintroduction of Willie Taylor". He just completed a
play "A Fool and His Money" and a movie "Note to Self" and has several
label deals on the table. Right now Willie is grinding and ready to
demonstrate to his fans that he can stand alone.
