First Rap Show In Branson Featuring Nelly Runs Into Trouble With City

The first rap show to ever be held in the resort town of Branson, Missouri has encountered problems from city officials, over a concert featuring St. Louis artist Nelly. Concert promoter Paul Dunn originally wanted to hold a concert featuring Nelly in the parking lot of The Grand Palace, which is undergoing renovations inside. The parking lot of the venue can hold about 6,000 people, while the inside of The Grand Palace can house 4,000. According to reports, city Planning Director Jim Lawson denied the application citing several concerns, including noise, parking and crowd control. Lawson also claimed that Dunn began promoting the event prior to submitting an application for the concert, which is scheduled for August 21st. Dunn, who will attempt to appeal the denial tonight, claimed that Lawson asked for un updated application, which was then used against him. "The following day that update and resubmit was used against me in a press release stating we announced this event and start of ticket sales before applying," Dunn's appeal letter to the board reads.

St. Louis Rapper Huey Aims For Success With 'Redemption'

St. Louis, Missouri rapper Huey has announced he has split from Jive Records and is planning a new single and album, in hopes of recreating the success he experienced with this hit single "Pop Lock and Drop It." This September, Huey will release Redemption on Que Records/OMG Media/EMI. The release will be the follow-up to his 2007 debut, titled Notebook Paper. The first single from the album is titled "Smile and Wave," featuring Dallas, Texas native Dorrough. According to Huey, the subject matter on Redemption is much more versatile than the topics on his previous release, Notebook Paper. According to Huey, his album will prove that all St. Louis rappers are not "commercial artists." "We're not just commercial. It's gutter in St. Louis and me as a young person, it probably would be hard to believe," Huey said. "That's why you gotta straight give it to 'em. It's a new St. Louis and that's what I'm about to show err'body."

DMX To Go Back To Jail

DMX is to be sent back to jail after a prior infraction was recently discovered by Los Angeles authorities. The rapper was just released from jail earlier this month. DMX plans to turn himself into authorities in a Los Angeles courtroom tomorrow, according to TMZ. The new arrest is a legacy violation from a 2002 reckless driving conviction. He received probation at the time, but his assorted legal issues warranted a violation. DMX is expected to serve 90 days in jail. He recently appeared on the "Stop The Party (Remix)" with Cam'ron, DMX, Ghostface, Swizz Beatz and Busta Rhymes. DMX's manager has insisted that the Yonkers, New York native is focused and ready to return to music. The rapper, born Earl Simmons, freed from the Maricopa County jail on July 7th after he served four months for violating the terms of his probation from a 2009 conviction for cruelty to animals, theft and drug charges.
