Pete Rock, Tek & Steele Chastise NYPD Over Club Raid During Release Party

Super producer Pete Rock and rappers Tek & Steele of Smif-N-Wessun held a press conference this afternoon, to answer questions relating to an altercation between the police and fans, during their record release party on Tuesday (June 28th), in New York. Pete Rock, and Tek and Steele were celebrating the release of their new album Monumental at Tammany Hall on the lower East side of Manhattan. The chaos began when a group of concertgoers were turned away by managers and bouncers at the club. According to a statement released by the rappers, over 15 to 20 uniformed police officers from the 7th Precinct arrived at the venue and began assaulting patrons outside of the venue, for no reason. "The officers then hurried into the club and began macing and assaulting individuals inside the club, dragging one of them out and pummeling him directly in front of the club," the rappers said in a joint statement released today (June 30th).

Diddy Selling New Jersey Mansion For $13.5 Million

Hip-Hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs is selling his opulent, Alpine, New Jersey mansion for $13.5 million. The New York Post reports that Combs has put the 12,000 square-foot, Colonial style home up for sale, after paying $6 million for the residence in 2004. Combs originally lived in the house with his longtime girlfriend, Kim Porter and their son Christian. According to The Post, the mansion is being put up for sale because Combs and Porter spend more time in Los Angeles. But the rap mogul will not be without a roof over his head after the sale of his New Jersey mansion. In addition to his mansion in Los Angeles, Combs has residences in Miami, New York and Atlanta. As for Porter, Combs purchased her a $5 million, 9,655-square-foot, six bedroom, mansion in Toluca Lake, California last year.

Dramatic Story Of Lorenzo 'Fat Cat' Nichols Heading To Theaters

The story of legendary Queens, New York drug kingpin Lorenzo "Fat Cat" Nichols is being shopped, raising funds and securing distribution via Sophie Lily Weinstein's film company, Synergy Media Productions. Weinstein, who is the CEO and founder of Synergy Media Productions, has acquired the script from screenwriter Curtis Scoon, an associate of Nichols', who also served as co-producer of an "American Gangster" episode about the infamous Queens drug dealer. "Cat's impact has had a long reaching ripple effect," Sophie Lily Weinstein told AllHipHop.com. "There isn't a person in this country who wasn't impacted by the crack era and the laws put in place, either directly or indirectly through its influence in pop culture/Hip-Hop. The script will focus on Nichols' early childhood in Queens, his association with Hip-Hop culture and his reign as a drug dealer, which helped usher in the infamous Rockefeller Drug Laws. Nichols was eventually sentenced to a total of 40 years in prison for murders, racketeering, and drug-related charges. "It is my hope this project does for the black gangster what 'Goodfellas' did for the mob," screenwriter Curtis Scoon told AllHipHop.com. "Strip away the glamorous veneer, to reveal the raw brutality of the urban underworld."

"As a recording artist and a producer over the past eight years, there is no one who has made a greater impression on the game than Kanye," Weiss said. "We look forward to working closely with the new and established artists that he will be bringing to G.O.O.D. Music, which is already off to an impressive start with Big Sean." Kanye West has been labeled "an integral core" artist on the Island Def Jam Music Group, having sold over 20 million records since his debut in 2004, with the critically acclaimed album The College Dropout.
