Virginia is known for having a lot of untapped artistry. There is no set sound coming from the great state as musicians explore all of the many that seem to sweep the current industry. Norfolk native, Breeze Barker returns to the scene today to show the masses a sound of his own with his latest mixtape release, "N.I.N.O.". 

The 10-track project hosted by DJ Murph goes through a series of tracks that are heavy in bass, versatile in flows, & catering to the "trap scene" that is sure to keep the summer going strong with bangers. Along with the release of his new mixtape, Barker unveils the visual to one of his standout records pulled from the project, "Fu*k The Other Side". This isn't anything like New Jack City, but Breeze Barker brings the heat with "N.I.N.O." Enjoy both presentations below.

Shortly after the release of Tupac's first album, 2Pacalypse Now, the rapper was brutally assaulted by police in Oakland, California. Rapper Mopreme Shakur - who was living with his step-brother at the time - says Tupac was making a trip to the bank when he returned home beaten up. In this exclusive clip, Mopreme takes us back to the assault that no one ever really speaks of.

Tupac - who didn't have an assistant at the time - walked to the bank to take care of some financial business when he was stopped by the cops for jaywalking. After making fun of his name, Tupac lashed out, resulting in the police beating him and scraping "his face on the cement," Mopreme tells us. He later added that Pac's injuries were "not too bad but they scarred his face in multiple places." Records show that Tupac sued and was rewarded a sum some time later.

Things have gotten extremely heated between Jack Thriller & rapper 40 Glocc in recent weeks. The two - who are scheduled to battle it out in the ring on July 25 - have been constantly making idle threats towards one another, but while in Vegas, Jack Thriller found out 40 was nearby and decided to try and have it out right then and there.

In the video Thriller runs up on 40 Glocc, who is seemingly unaware of what's about to take place, resulting in a scuffle outside of the hotel while police quickly intervene in the altercation. For months, the rapper and hip-hop personality have been taking personal jabs, and now the threats they made to one another about taking it to the streets have become a reality. See the two attempt to go at it above.

Watch the two box one another in the first-ever televised hip-hop celebrity fight on Saturday, July 25 in Atlantic City.

Poll After The Jump

The Cleveland Cavaliers are playing without their 2 best players not named LeBron James. Both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are out for the rest of the playoffs with injuries. Yet their team is tied at 1-1 with the Golden State Warriors in the best of 7 NBA Championship against the Warriors.

On paper this doesn't even look like a fair series. The Warriors have a better starting 5 and a deeper bench. So why are the Cavaliers giving them fits?

The answer is James. He's put his team on his back, carrying them to what could be his third title.

Michael Jordan retired with 6 rings. He's widely considered to be the best NBA player in history. It's hard to argue that MJ isn't the greatest of all time, but his teams were much better than the one James is playing on now.

“If LeBron is at his best, it makes it difficult to guard other people,” TNT analyst Kenny Smith said after the Cavaliers game 2 win over the Warriors on Sunday. “That is the greatest thing about him…. I have not seen any other MVP do more with less.”

The question is simple. If the Cavaliers beat the Warriors, will James surpass Jordan as the greatest of all time?
