Murs wants Gym Class Heroes?

Murs is set to feature Kid Rock and Gym Class Heroes on his upcoming album.

His Living Legends crew-mate Luckyiam recently spoke about his own album but mentioned in passing that he’s heard there would be guest spots for Gym Class Heroes, Snoop, DJ Premier, Ne-Yo and Kid Rock. Seriously, GCH and Kid Rock? What the fucking hell are you thinking? Eesh.

Lucky also went on to say he’s heard the new Atmosphere album When Life Gives You Lemons… and commented:

“Yes, I’ve heard the new Atmos. It’s really dope to me. I think it will silence recent critics.”

Lucky’s new solo album Most Likely To Succeed is out now.

Broadwater Farm Jam incoming

North London’s bump and banks will get rinsed on Saturday 8th September with a comp, jam and more.

We think this is the first time the Broadwater Farm Skatepark has thrown an event so get down there and eat some darn good BBQ food and get down to their soundsystem if the India Summer has legs. Nearest Tube: Wood Green or Bruce Grove overground innit.

Jay Z is rich bitch

Jay Z is the richest rapper in the world.

The Def Jam CEO earned around $34 million last year thanks to his work with Def Jam, the 2 million copies of his Kingdom Come album sold plus money from his sponsorships with Budweiser, Hewlett-Packard and General Motors.

Next in the list were 50 Cent [$32 million], Diddy, Timbaland and Dr Dre. I guess now is the bit where we say “Cash rules everything around us, CREAM get the money, dollar dollar bill y’all” or “Mo money, mo problems” right…?
