Chief Keef And Katy Perry Hug It Out On Twitter
All is right in the world. Chief Keef and Katy Perry are back on good terms...for now. Yesterday, Sosa had some choice words for Perry, who had voiced some displeasure days earlier about the content of Keef's single "Hate Being Sober".

Since breaking out in 2011 as the producer and co-writer of Tyga’s “Rack City”, the 23-year old Los Angeles native has dictated the sound of the region’s “ratchet music,” helping to mold the careers of Tyga and YG as well as being the man behind big singles for 2 Chainz, Young Jeezy and most recently, B.o.B.

Album Review: French Montana, Excuse My French
What French Montana has always lacked in technical ability, he’s made up for with personality. French is a stone cold charmer; a Waka Flocka Flame with less energy in many ways. Like Waka, his approach to music is similar to that of a high school football jock who decides he can do anything—act in plays, do well academically, and invevitably, rap— so he does it all in an earnest and sincere way.

French Montana’s Engineer On The Making Of ‘Excuse My French’
When Steve Dickey landed an internship at Bad Boy Records’ Daddys House studio in 2005, it didn’t take long for the Institute Of Audio Research student to make himself useful. “I went in there and told all the engineers that I knew what I was doing, and if they needed a hand with anything, I could give them a break,” says the now 28-year-old New Jersey native. “Sure enough they real...
