In Lil Mouse's hometown, shooting deaths have appeared in the news more than ever before. Innocent victims seem to lose their lives on a daily basis, and around certain holidays, the city of Chicago continues to lose dozens. "Everybody ain't getting money, that's what's making it bad," says Lil Mouse during this exclusive clip.
When asked if he has to keep security detail around him when in Chicago, Lil Mouse says "I keep them with me regardless, everywhere I go," since getting murdered "could happen to anybody." Fortunately the young rapper hasn't lost a friend during Chi-town's deadly Summer, something he says happens more so because of people "not having nothing else to do." "That's Chicago for you," he adds.
Watch as he speaks on his city's violent acts and talks about his upcoming "mixtape for the ladies" entitled Life Of a Young Boss, below.
A couple of weeks ago 50 Cent and Young Buck visited Atlanta to hear tracks from Zaytoven, London On Da Track, Sonny Digital, TM88, The 808 Mafia and more.
Here's some footage of Zaytoven playing 50 some potential bangers for his forthcoming Street King Immortalalbum.

Bill Cosby could be facing criminal charges after the LAPD handed the District Attorney it's case of an alleged sexual assault against Chloe Goins.
Goins claims that in 2008 Cosby spiked her drink with drugs while at the Playboy Mansion. She reportedly blacked out and later woke up half naked to find the comedian licking her toes with his pants down around his ankles.
She was 18-years old at the time.
Out of the dozens of women who have accused Cosby of committing nefarious acts ranging from rape to sexual assault, Goins case stands out because it is the only one that falls within the statute of limitations for possible prosecution.
According to TMZ, Cosby's reps deny he was there at that time.
It's now up to the D.A. to decide whether or not Cosby will face charges.
Adrien Broner (30-2) has found much success in the boxing ring. By the age of 23 he had become a three-division world champion.
However, he has suffered two losses recently. Marcos Maidana handed "The Problem" his first defeat on December 4, 2013, in a grueling 12-round battle.
His June 20, 2015, match against Shawn Porter resulted in his second loss by unanimous decision.
Some have cited the Cincinnatti native's hard partying lifestyle outside of the ring as one reason Broner hasn't yet realized his full potential.
As he prepares to fight #5 ranked light welterweight Khabib Allakhverdiev on Saturday, October 3rd, the now 26-year old Broner promises that he has rededicated himself to the sport.
"I've already accomplished a lot at a young age, but I have so much more to do," he told Showtime, the network that will broadcast his bout against Allakhverdiev. "Floyd [Mayweather Jr.] is gone. Boxing is up in the air. A new era will start October 3rd. This next half of my career I'm gonna be the AB that's about business and about boxing. I will be four-time world champion in four different weight classes."
Do you think Broner is now ready to take over boxing as many predicted he would just two years ago?
(CNN) Preliminary information indicates 10 people were killed and more than 20 others injured when a gunman opened fire at Oregon's Umpqua Community College on Thursday, said Oregon State Police spokesman Bill Fugate.
Douglas County Commissioner Chris Boice told CNN that the shooter is in custody. It was not immediately clear whether the shooter was injured.
Investigators are examining social media postings made by a man, thought to be in his late 20s, who they believe is the suspect, said a source with knowledge of the investigation.
The night before the attack, the alleged shooter appears to have had a conversation with others online about his intentions, the source said.
"We arrived to find multiple patients in multiple classrooms. Law enforcement was on scene and had the shooter neutralized," Douglas County Fire Marshal Ray Shoufler told CNN.
He said that two patients died while being transported to a hospital.

The shooting appears to have started in one building before the gunman moved to the school's science building, the source told CNN. Those killed and wounded were found in at least two classrooms.
Mercy Medical Center posted on Twitter that it had received nine patients, with three more on the way. The extent of their injuries was not known.
Three victims arrived at PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend in Springfield, about 70 miles north of the shooting scene. Two more are on their way, that hospital tweeted.
ATF agents were also on scene and canine teams are en route to search for explosives, fire arms casings and ammunition, a spokesman said. The FBI was en route.
'This is so out of character'
Earlier, authorities had said they were responding to reports of an active shooter at the Roseburg college campus.
Roseburg is a city of about 22,000 people located about 70 miles south of Eugene, Oregon, and some 180 miles south of Portland.
The school itself is up on a hill outside the city center, according to Rick Francona, a CNN military analyst who lives nearby. Francona said that logging is a big industry in the region, which is fairly rural but easily accessible from Interstate 5.
"This is so out of character for this whole area," he said.
News of the shooting quickly reached Washington, with the state's senior senator, Ron Wyden, visibly shaken and Sen. Jeff Merkley tweeting that he was praying for the victims and their families.
President Obama was briefed on the situation and will continue to receive updates throughout the day.
The school
A picturesque campus in the North Umpqua River Valley, the school prides itself on a "a peaceful, safe atmosphere, and year-round recreational activities," according to its website.
It's not a traditional institution of higher learning, as the average age of its 13,600 students was 38 during the 2013-2014 school year. Only 740 of those were full time, 2,437 were part time and more than 10,000 fell under the umbrella of "community education."
It first began teaching classes out of rented facilities in 1961. Elton and Ruth Jackson donated 98.5 acres to house the campus in 1965.

There are rumors of a Scarface and Ice Cube joint album floating around, which the Houston legend addressed during an exclusive interview with VladTV. He made the collaboration seem like a possibility, telling us, "We're both on that independent shit right now."
Speaking more about Ice Cube, Scarface addressed World Class Wreckin' Crew founder Alonzo Williams telling VladTV that the "No Vaseline" emcee was a "good actor" when it came to his gangster status. When asked about Williams' comments, Scarface admitted that while he believes Cube is a genius writer, he never believed that he was a true gangster.
The conversation also touched on ghostwriting in hip-hop, which Scarface had two viewpoints about. When the question was first presented to him, the "On My Block" emcee pointed out that Beyonce and Taylor Swift, two of the biggest artists today, have people write their songs. However, Scarface said he would be very upset if he found out Rakim or Kool G Rap didn't write their own rhymes.
To hear more of what Scarface had to say during our sit-down, check the clip below.

Speculation is running rampant that a G-Unit and D12 project is possibly in the works after Bizarre posted about it on Instagram.
"Working on this d12 g unit record .. We coming!!" the Detroit rapper wrote.
While this has not been confirmed by the G-Unit camp or other D12 members, the thought of hearing 50 Cent, Eminem, Lloyd Banks, Kon Artist, Young Buck, Tony Yayo, Swifty McVay, Bizarre and Kidd Kidd together over some tough beats sounds like a great idea.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Prosecutors declined to charge Caitlyn Jenner on Wednesday in a California car crash that killed another driver, citing insufficient evidence to support a case.
Authorities said Jenner was towing an off-road vehicle on a trailer behind a Cadillac Escalade on Feb. 7 when she crashed into two cars, pushing one into oncoming traffic. Driver Kim Howe died when her Lexus was hit by a Hummer in Malibu.
"We believed from the start that a thorough and objective investigation would clear Caitlyn of any criminal wrongdoing," said Blair Berk, Jenner's attorney. "We are heartened the district attorney has agreed that even a misdemeanor charge would be inappropriate. A traffic accident, however devastating and heartbreaking when a life is lost, is not necessarily a criminal matter."
The accident occurred before Jenner announced she is transgender and transitioned into her new identity as Caitlyn.
Sheriff's investigators previously determined that Jenner, 65, was traveling at an unsafe speed for the road conditions at the time and there was enough evidence to support a vehicular manslaughter charge. The case was then referred to the district attorney's major crimes division.
A prosecutor wrote in a one-page sheet declining to file charges that Jenner was traveling slightly below the posted speed limit and began braking less than two seconds before the crash. To prove misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter, prosecutors would have had to show Jenner was negligent and had violated a basic speed law.
Based on the facts, the office determined they "cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that suspect's conduct was unreasonable."
After the accident, Jenner released a statement expressing sympathy to those involved in the accident.
"It is a devastating tragedy," the statement read. "I cannot pretend to imagine what this family is going through at this time. I am praying for them."
Jenner is facing separate lawsuits by Howe's stepchildren and the driver of the other car involved in the collision. Jenner's lawyers are fighting efforts to have her give sworn testimony in a deposition in the wrongful death suit filed by the stepchildren.
The crash has shadowed Jenner's much-lauded transgender transition that was announced in a two-hour television special with Diane Sawyer. A Vanity Fair cover story revealed her new identity, and a reality series "I Am Cait" chronicled her new life.
In July, Jenner accepted the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs sports achievement event and urged fellow athletes to join her and make advocacy for transgender issues a priority.
A Los Angeles judge approved Jenner's petition to formally change her name and gender on Sept. 25. Jenner was born Bruce Jenner and won an Olympic gold medal for the decathlon in 1976.
Jenner was married to Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner for more than 20 years and frequently appeared on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." The couple had two children together, and Jenner has four children from previous marriages.

On April 26, 2015 Lil Wayne's tour buses were shot at as he left a performance in Atlanta. Fortunately, nobody was injured.
Former Rich Gang affiliate Jimmy Winfrey, aka PeeWee Roscoe, was later arrested for his alleged involvement in the shooting.

In July an indictment named Birdman and Young Thug as co-conspirators in a plot to have Wayne killed.
"On April 26th, Jimmy Winfrey carried out [Young Thug's] threat [in the "Halftime" video] and shot at two tour buses," the indictment claims.
Neither Baby or Thugger were arrested, although Winfrey says in court documents obtained by TMZ, that the beef between Weezy and his Cash Money Records boss played a role in the shooting.
"[Birdman's] financial dispute with [Lil Wayne] is what ultimately led to the shooting," the document reads. "[Birdman] should be held liable as a party to the crime."
Winfrey has been charged with aggravated assault, criminal damage to property, possession of a firearm and violation of both the RICO Act and Street Gang Terrorism Prevention Act.
In a new interview with GQ, Young Thug denies any involvement in the crime.
Why’d you decide to connect with Birdman and Cash Money Records? Because my whole life I looked up to them. I wanted to stunt like Birdman, which I fucking am. And I wanted to be like Wayne.
Plain and simple: Did you try to have Lil Wayne killed? Fuck no.
Does it bother you that Wayne, one of your idols, clearly has a personal problem with you? Maybe if I was a peasant it would. But of course it bothers me some, because that’s what I always wanted. It was so weird: I always wanted to be in the studio with Wayne. I would tell Birdman to bring him over, but he never fucking came.
