Hurricane Chris Feat. Lil Boosie – Ratchet (Remix)
While everybody in the streets is using Lil Boosie’s return to help bolster their own, it kind of makes since that Louisiana’s Hurricane Chris (who has always been dope, in my opinion) join forces with the recently released Boosie for the remix to his single (produced by DJ Mustard). And it works.

UPDATE: Dr. Dre Reportedly Sells Beats To Apple For $3.2 Billion; Is Not A Billionaire (Yet)
UPDATE: Forbes recently told TMZ that, while the sale is huge, Dr. Dre only owned 23% of the company, which will put his net worth closer to $800 million. Not that this really means anything in the land of wealth (maybe it does).
****************************************
Looks like we have officially crowned the world’s first Hip-Hop billionaire. Sorry, Puff. From TMZ:
Dr. Dre could be days away from being the first rapper turned BILLIONAIRE … thanks to a mega-deal for Apple to snatch up his Beats Electronics brand.
Apple will reportedly buy Beats for a whopping $3.2 BILLION — and since Dre and Interscope honcho Jimmy Iovine created the brand … it’s a safe bet they will walk away with a huge chunk of that cash.
Dre and Jimmy started the brand back in 2008 with headphones — but now they’re also making bank off speakers, car audio systems, and a streaming service.
The deal could close next week … and would be Apple’s biggest acquisition ever.
Dre came in #2 on Forbes’ most recent list of hip hop’s wealthiest artists — with a net worth of $550 million … while Diddy was #1 at $700 million.
The Apple deal — first reported by Variety — could easily push the Doc to the top of that list. This would also explain his purchase of Tom Brady’s mansion.
