DJ Infamous looks to make a splash on the charts with this huge posse cut….and Yung Berg.
I gotta ask: how is the chemistry amongst Berg and the rest of his peers nowadays? How does someone like The Game show any respect or camaraderie toward an artist who has been manhandled by the industry?

Chiraq – Episode 5: SAVEMONEY Busts Joey Purp Outta Jail
In the fifth episode of Chiraq, we step outside of drill music and catch up with Chicago rapper Vic Mensa and the rest of his SAVEMONEY crew. They spend the day gathering cash to bail fellow rapper Joey Purp out of jail, and on the way we chat about the city’s scene. Vic doesn’t associate himself with the Chiraq lifestyle because he feels it’s too negative, but understands the struggles of those who come from that part of the city. He’s also, surprisingly, a really big fan of Rage Against the Machine.

Footage Of Ray Rice Dragging His Unconscious Fiancee Revealed
UPDATE: Now, there are legal documents out in the open that state the fight between Rice and his wife-to-be were less than mutual….he apparently knocked her out cold (hence the above video).
****************************************
From TMZ:
TMZ Sports has obtained footage of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice dragging his fiancee (who appears to be out cold) out of an elevator in an Atlantic City casino … moments after cops say they attacked each other on the property.
The footage was shot on February 15th … right before Rice and his fiancee Janay Palmer were both arrested for assault at the Revel Casino. Cops say they have video which proved both parties attacked each other.
But before the arrest, Ray can be seen trying to lift and move a seemingly unconscious Palmer out of a casino elevator.
While Palmer is sprawled out on the ground, a man in a suit — who appears to be talking into a security microphone — approaches the situation and confronts Rice. It’s unclear if the man is security, but it sure seems that way.
Moments later, as Palmer seems to regain consciousness, Rice walks away.

DJ Holiday Feat. Wiz Khalifa & Waka Flocka Flame – Miley (Video)
HotNewHipHop is proud to present you with the official music video for “Miley”. Atlanta’s very own DJ Holiday teamed up with rappers Waka Flocka & Wiz Khalifa to give you a stunning visual.
The title bears an obvious hat tip to Miley Cyrus for her 2013 resurgence of the twerk phenomenon. Probably lesser known to the viewing audience (especially younger viewers) is how the video’s theme is based on the 1985 runaway teen flick “Weird Science”, where two awkward and unpopular teenagers create their ultimate dream woman with the help of technology.
In the same vein, watch our hip hop trio in “Miley” scheme some computer plans of voluptuous proportions, as they conjure up a room full of well-rounded honeys for their booting shaking contest.
