Krayzie Bone Says That Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Will Reunite For Performance Purposes
From HipHopDX:
Despite April’s fallout, fans can expected BTNH to be on stage in the future, even if they no longer record new albums.
Cleveland, Ohio emcee Krayzie Bone made headlines this April when he publicly departed from multi-platinum Hip Hop group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. The longtime spokesman for the group cited “uncontrollable circumstances” for his departure, after releasing eight studio albums with the group since their signing to Eazy-E’s Ruthless Records in the early 1990s.
In a new interview with TheWellVersed.com, Krayzie clarified his statements. The emcee revealed that he’s in frequent contact with his Bone brothers, including Bizzy Bone, who’s been estranged from the group during numerous albums and tours.
“I’ve spoken to my Bone brothers; I speak to Bizzy [Bone] almost every day, I speak to Layzie [Bone], [Flesh-N-Bone], I talk to Wish [Bone] every day,” confirmed Krayzie. “We’ll be making an announcement about us getting back together for performance purposes. I know the market is big for Bone Thugs performances. It can be even bigger with all of us together. This is true family. We’re going to fall out in public and in private, but there is nothing too big to keep us from coming back and doing business.”
The group, with Bizzy, last released Uni5: The World’s Enemy in 2010 on Warner Brothers Records.

Jimmy Henchman Pleads Not Guilty To Charges; Denied Bail
From MTV:
James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond is not backing down from the federal drug charges he’s facing.
After his arrest on Tuesday, the hip-hop manager, who once counted Game as a client, pleaded not guilty to witness tampering, obstruction of justice and intentionally conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine, his lawyer confirmed for MTV News.
The not guilty plea came as expected. In an interview with MTV News on Tuesday, Rosemond’s attorney, Jeffery Lichtman, said his client was ready to take on the Feds. “These charges obviously aren’t surprising, we’ve been anticipating them for years now,” he said. “But they’re built on the backs of people that have lied and cheated, have been threatened, have been bribed by the government. Anything to get Jimmy Rosemond, but all of this is going to be exposed. We’ve been waiting a long time for our day in court — we finally have it.”
Rosemond has been on the lam since warrants were issued for his arrest on May 17. On Tuesday afternoon, Henchman was arrested after he led US Marshals and DEA agents on a foot chase across several Manhattan blocks before he was apprehended on 21st Street and Park Avenue South.

Lil’ Wayne Covers XXL & Talks Retirement
From XXL (obviously):
The Young Money leader also revealed to XXL that he plans to retire soon and hints at C4 possibly being his last offering. “I’m bowing out still on top,†he says. “I’ma make y’all want me when I retire. I’ma make y’all be like, ‘Nooo!’ I ain’t leaving out this bitch when y’all be like, ‘Yeah, it’s about time, dawg.’ Carter IV might be my last one. I’ma make y’all be like, ‘Fuck!’ Yeah, nigga, I’m gone.â€
Wayne saying being a good father to his children would be the cause for an retirement. “Honestly, this is the real truth,†he says. “I honestly think it’s unfair to my kids. I’m super dedicated into what I do. Like, it’s no questions—it’s hands down, I do this. I live this. I don’t have a day out my week that I do something else. I do this every day of my life, and I’m not about to stop, ’cause that’s the only way you can succeed in this business, is to do it the way I do it. I want to succeed the way I want to succeed. You can succeed. You can put out a hit… But to do it the way I want to do it, to be comfortable to do what the fuck I want to do, you’ve got to work like no other. Like I said, it’s unfair to my kids. So about 30, 31, 32, I gotta get ready.
