I don’t know anything about Toronto musician, songwriter and producer Bird (other than what I just said), but this guy got Little Brother together on a track….that’s an immediate post and listen in my book. His album La Notte drops July 9th.
Trae Tha Truth – TRAE (Episode 10)
Mystikal gets in on the action (the way the animator — whoever that is — visualizes these characters are both amazing and hilarious in itself) in the latest episode of TRAE. I’d say that this cartoon needs to get on TV, but it seems everything is moving to the internet now anyways.

Lil’ Durk Arrested On Gun Charges; Had .40 Caliber Handgun In Chicago
The news first broke over at DNAinfo, where you can read the full report:
Lil Durk was busted with a loaded .40-caliber handgun in Englewood early Wednesday after he threw the gun into his car as police approached, a source said.
The 20-year-old rapper, whose real name is Durk D. Banks, was picked up at about 3 a.m. in the 7200 block of South Green Street, police said.
Lil Durk was standing near a car when police rolled up to investigate a call of a man with a gun. As police arrived, Lil Durk was spotted tossing a gun into the car, a source said.
Police recovered the gun — a loaded .40-caliber — and arrested the rapper without incident, the source said.
Lil Durk, who has a suburban Melrose Park address, was charged with unlawful use of a weapon by a felon and is expected in bond court on Thursday. It is his second offense, police said.
In Oct. 2011, he was hit with gun charges, including possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number. He later pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of aggravated unauthorized use of a weapon, according to court records.

Bobbi Kristina Kicked Out Of Her Apartment
The question still lingers; would her relationship with Nick Gordon be considered incestuous? I mean, I know that isn’t blood literally, but still….
From Radar Online:
The daughter of late singer Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown left a nasty note for one of her neighbors after she was evicted from her Atlanta-area apartment.
According to people who live in the Alpharetta, Georgia, apartment complex, 20-year-old Bobbi Kristina Brown and her on-again, off-again boyfriend Nick Gordon were the subject of at least ten different noise complaints.
“My friend and his family live in the apartment under Bobbi Kristina Brown (Whitney Houston’s daughter). After 6 months of complaints, she was finally kicked out. He found this on his door today,” a neighbor wrote on Reddit, sharing a photo of the note she apparently left.
Thanks
You are s—- at the bottom our our shoe.
Thank You for making a hard year harder.
You are a miserable couple and always will be
You were honored to have us living above you and you couldn’t stand such a
young beautiful couple far more successful than you ever will be. I pray
your misery doesn’t rub off on your innocent little baby.

SPOTLIGHT: Lil Wayne’s SUPRA Spectre Chimera
Back in December, Lil Wayne teamed with Stevie Williams for the collaboration shoe titled the S1W Supra. The shoe represents the friendship between Lil Wayne and Stevie, but also a mixture of skateboarding and Hip-Hop. The first model to be released from the upcoming lifestyle assortment will be the revolutionary new high top Chimera. The Chimera is available now, in three colorways for the Summer.
The first colorway has Black Satin TUF and black block-stitch TUF upper with black and grey-speckled neoprene TUF clamshell, black diamond mesh tongue, black rope laces, padded black and red mesh lining, black SUPRAFOAM midsole with grey speckle, and a black outsole with red traction.
The second colorway has White tumbled leather and black mesh upper with white leather clamshell, black mesh and white leather tongue, black/red rope laces, padded black and red mesh lining, red SUPRAFOAM midsole, and white outsole with black traction.
The third and final colorway has a grey tumbled full-grain leather and textured charcoal suede upper with grey leather clamshell, black mesh, turquoise accents, black diamond-mesh tongue, black/pink rope laces, padded black and pink mesh lining, pink SUPRAFOAM midsole with turquoise speckle, and grey outsole with turquoise traction.
I received the White/Red colorway from Supra two weeks ago, which I love; for starters, they’re extremely comfortable. These sneakers are so different then the S1W’s; I feel those sneakers were more of a casual sneaker and these are more of a skater shoe.
When Lil Wayne signed the deal with Supra, he wanted to make a sneaker for the die hard skaters and the people who are non skaters. I believe he succeeded in doing that.

The Spectre Chimera by Lil Wayne is available now at fine SUPRA retailers worldwide and suprafootwear.com for $125.

Zino Grigio (Benzino) – Smashed Da Homie (Video)
You know, with Ray-J making odes to his ex, Kenya Moore going with the wind fabolous and Soulja Boy doing, well….this, it’s hard to blame Benzino for taking steps like this to stay in the spotlight. So I give up, with every new season and every new reality show, we’re going to get more of this bullshit anyway.
