On Tuesday, November 28, a Manhattan federal jury convicted James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond for the second time of hiring 2 hit men to murder G-Unit associate Lowell “Lodi Mack” Fletcher in 2009.
The former head of Czar Management had his previous conviction for the alleged crime overturned in 2016 by a federal appeals court.
Rosemond, 52, who once managed the careers of The Game, Akon, Salt-N-Peppa, Sean Kingston, Gucci Mane and Brandy was already facing 2 life sentences related to separate drug and gun convictions, so a not guilty verdict would not have freed him from prison.
He was convicted in 2012 for being the kingpin of a multi-million-dollar transnational cocaine-selling organization.
The New York Post reports that in this latest trial government witness, Brian “Slim” McCleod, who had done time with Fletcher, testified that he lured his friend to an isolated part of the Bronx with promises of money and drinks.
When they got there Derrick Grant and Rodney Johnson were waiting. Grant reportedly fired the fatal shot.
The hit was in retaliation for a 2007 altercation between Fletcher, Tony Yayo and Henchman's teenage son near Czar Entertainment's New York City office.
Charges against Yayo in the case were dismissed.
"As I told you from the beginning, Tony Yayo did not hit anyone and would never do anything to harm a child," his lawyer Scott Leemon said at the time.
Fletcher pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of endangering the welfare of a child and was sentenced to nine months in prison.
He was murdered 2 weeks after being released.

Kendrick Lamar covers the new Forbes "30 Under 30" issue, which was accompanied by an interview with senior editor Zack O'Malley Greenburg.
It's an interesting and wide ranging piece.
K Dot talks about his musical influences, how he got his start in the business, falling in love with hip hop at four-years old, being mentored by Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith and Dr. Dre, mumble rap, mistakes he's made along the way and Barack Obama.
One of the questions posed to him by Greenburg had to do with being labeled a conscious rapper. The "Humble" hit maker answered it by quoting 50 Cent.
"Everybody have they own opinions, but ... I always go back to what 50 Cent said, and it always stuck with me. And when he said it, it made an even more valid point. He said, 'We all are conscious, whether you're doing gangsta rap, whether you're doing so called conscious rap, whether you doing whatever genre you may in because you have a post, you alive and you're telling your true feelings ... these are your true thoughts and you're conscious of them, and you're aware of them. You are conscious, as simple as that.' When he said that, that inspired me to not only recognize my own influence on what I have with my people."

Born and Raised in South Jamaica Queens, NY Michael Francis A.K.A Continental Five is the oldest of two boys with dreams of being something. Unfortunately, Southside Jamaica Queens isn't always open to fulfilling the dreams of its residents. Being so close that they were often mistaken for brothers, Michael looked to his older cousin; 50 Cent as a role model. Michael stayed close to his cousin, and learned so much by the moves he made. One move would end up changing his life from that day forward. Michael never really gave much thought to becoming an entertainer, until the day 50 came home wearing jewelry that cost more than the house he lived in with his family.
So what happens when you think you can’t make it, but your cousin goes out and becomes the most relevant human being in the past decade?
You get your act together and you begin to make your dream a reality.
Continental Five began his grind in the NYC underground hip-hop scene under the moniker Two five, which was a nickname given to him in jest by Tony YaYo. Slowly, he built a name and reputation for himself with his gritty style of freestyle rap. In early 2007 DJ Whiteowl decided to reach out to the rapper in hopes that he would host a mixtape for him. Continental Five was consistently gaining momentum in the underground scene so DJ Whiteowl thought he would be a good fit for his series of mixtapes. The two put out 5 successful mixtapes that started expanded his growing underground following and landed him a nomination at the Justo mixtape awards. Together they have sold and distributed over 70,000 CD’s.

Migos recently sat down with XXL to do an interview for the publication's 20th Anniversary issue. During the conversation they were asked about G-Unit Records head honcho, 50 Cent.
Check out what they had to say below.
XXL: What do you think 50 Cent means to hip hop in the past 20 years?
Quavo: I think 50 Cent brought a lot of gangsta shit to hip hop
Offset: He made [gangsta shit] more acceptable. I heard it was scaring officers and all that. But they had to accept it, he had the hits. Especially for our generation. You know everybody say ‘Pac and Biggie, that’s the same situation for our generation.
XXL: Is 50 the Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. of your generation?
Offset: Yeah, I’ll give that to the OG. He made it through, kept going. Gone to corporate.
Quavo: “Who knows if ‘Pac was alive, which lane he would’ve switched over to,” he said. “It’s only right, he doing the same thing. 'Pac was doing movies, [50’s] doing movies. Same thing.”
