Music News
Following Meek Mill at the first entry, the number 9 spot has been given to ATLien Future:
Considering where Future was at the start of his career, the meteoric rise that he’s experienced over the past year is more than enough reason for the Astronaut Kid to keep his head in the clouds and the #9 spot on MTV News’ “Hottest MCs in the Game VIII” list.
What began as a strictly underground run began to take off in 2011 with Future’s “Tony Montana” single and its Drake-assisted remix. During 2012, however, Future sky-rocketed to new heights with high-powered pop hooks, while still keeping his hold on the streets. His mix of melodic arrangements and raspy rap bars were a sure-shot formula for some of the year’s biggest hits.

Did New Orleans Rapper Magic Die In A Car Accident?
Update: It’s looking to be true. Damn. R.I.P.
I’m going to find this one hard to believe until I see some additional confirmation, but this was spotted on Dirty Glove Bastard:
Reports on twitter are that former No Limit Records artist Mr. Magic and his wife died in a car accident last night in Mississippi. Magic was always one of my favorite rappers on the NL roster and his second album Thuggin remains one of the few CDs that I actually bought three separate times in my life. Our condolences go out to his family. R.I.P.
