Ca$his teams up with CLR and Kent Jones for "In the Middle," the first single off of his forthcoming album titled "Ca-$ 1.5." The track was produced by Rikanatti and Johnny Homen.
An internal investigation is underway by the Muskogee, Oklahoma Police Department into the pepper spraying and arrest of an innocent 84-year old woman.
Authorities released body cam footage of the violent encounter that occured earlier this month after Geneva Smith threatened legal action.
According to the New York Daily News, police entered Smith's residence while searching for her son Arthur Paul Blackmon. They allege Blackmon drove through a stop sign and refused to halt, before running into his mother's home.
Cops command Blackmon to come out, but he refuses. They kick the door in, confronting the suspect.
"Come here, I'm gonna tase you!" a cop tells Blackmon.
He raises his hands and says "I ain't got nothing," before the officer tasers him causing him to fall to the floor.
Smith comes out of her bedroom to see what's going on. She is told to turn around by a female officer or she'll be pepper sprayed. 40 seconds later that officer sprayed her.
The woman is handcuffed and taken to jail. She was later released when she had to be hospitalized after suffering a panic attack while in police custody.
"I just try to let it go by, but I'm gon' sue them though," Smith told Fox 23. "Police kicked the door in. I come out of my bedroom when they woke me up and I said 'What's going on?" And that's when they pepper sprayed me. [It felt] like rocks or something in your eye."
“This is a very important issue. There is a lot of missing information out there. There is a lot of prejudgment out there and a lot of concern,” said Chief Rex Eskridge.

The two shared a brief hug/kiss before Rihanna accepted the award.
"MTV, this is such an amazing night," she told the audience. "It's such an amazing moment in my career. When I think about the Vanguard Award and receiving this tonight, all I could think of was my country. They're gonna be so proud. This is the first Vanguard to land anywhere close to my country. My success, it started as my dream. But now, my success is not my own. It's my family's, it's my fans', it's my country's, the Caribbean as a whole, it's women, it's black women. So many people feel like their little piece is such a major part of this puzzle. I have to thank you guys for supporting me over and over. Thank you to every director who's taken a chance on me and my crazy ideas. There's so much growth that's happened over the last 11 years, and I can't believe I'm receiving a Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at 28 years old. It's crazy and I have so many people to thank."

Lord Jamar continued to touch on social issues during a recent interview with VladTV, and this time around the Brand Nubian rapper shared his thoughts on the police killings in Dallas. The New York entertainer explained that he isn't entirely convinced of the situation, as he points out that unlike the deaths of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, there was no clear video of police dying in Dallas.
During the conversation, Jamar also reacted to Michael Jordan donating $1 million each to International Association of Chiefs of Police, and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. "The Night Of" actor didn't seem impressed with Jordan's donation, as he explained that the famed athlete should be preventing problems with his money, not putting a "Band-Aid" on the situation.

Last week we reported that Lil Yachty told Billboardthat he "honestly couldn't name five songs" by hip hop legends The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur.
A lot of hip hop fans found it unfathomable that a rapper would know so little about two of the best emcees to ever pic up a mic.
While others chalked it up to Lil Boat being 19-years old and the fact that he wasn't even alive when 2Pac and Biggie were murdered.
On Saturday, August 27, fellow 2016 XXL FreshmanAnderson .Paak, 30, seemed to address the situation via his Twitter account, although he doesn't mention Yachty by name.
"Don't be cocky in the fact that you don't know anything about hip hop history," he wrote. "Real artists are students of the game first."

Things were much different in the 90's when Redman got into the business. As he explains in a new interview with DJ Vlad, when a rapper heard he was dissed back then he/she and their crew would show up at a rival's concert and things would often get physical.
Oakland rapperMC Hammerwas known at the time for making party records and dancing, but according to Red, he was one guy you didn't wan't any problems with.
"Look, that got damn MC Hammer ... very serious about beef," Red told Vlad. "Y'all motherfuckers laugh and y'all joke about Hammer. No, No, No No! That nigga was deep with niggas. And he used to what anybody who talked shit. Come to the Bay Area, they was in for it. 'Cause we seen it. I seen it. He was very serious about beef. 'Oh, you gon' talk about my dancing pants? I'll see you.' And he would whip a nigga out."
Red recalled Hammer personally stepping to him at the taping of the lastYo! MTV Rapsepisode over dissing his mom on his debut project, "Whut? Thee Album."
"That nigga came up to me [at the taping]. He was like, 'Red, I'ma tell you something, you young. But I don't allow nobody to talk about my mama, you understand me?' I said 'Yes sir.' Because we was already in Oakland [prior] with EPMD. And we damn near had to bounce up outta there for that. 'Cause they had niggas [gesturing in different directions] back here, back here, back here. We had to get the fuck up outta here. They wasn't playing. We was almost boxed in. I'm like, 'Yo, this nigga is not playing"
Add Colin Kaepernick's name to a growing list of pro athletes protesting against what they believe are injustices being committed against people of color by rogue police officers in the United States.
The San Francisco 49ers quarterback refused to stand during the national anthem before his team's preseason game against the Green Bay Packers on Friday, August 26.
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," Kaepernick toldNFL.com'sSteve Wycheafter the game. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder. This is not something that I am going to run by anybody. I am not looking for approval. I have to stand up for people that are oppressed. ... If they take football away, my endorsements from me, I know that I stood up for what is right."
The 49ers issued a statement Friday night: “The national anthem is and always will be a special part of the pre-game ceremony. It is an opportunity to honor our country and reflect on the great liberties we are afforded as its citizens. In respecting such American principles as freedom of religion and freedom of expression, we recognize the right of an individual to choose and participate, or not, in our celebration of the national anthem."
The NFL also released a statement: "Players are encouraged but not required to stand during the playing of the national anthem."
