Rochester, NY artist Jean Claude BMOC has gotten good reception thus far from previously heard singles “Grow Up“, “Bad Decisions” and “Thirsty“. In anticipation of his new project slated to release this Summer, today he drops off his new single “FlexGawd” produced by Atlanta’s DJ Plugg.
“FlexGawd” is every bit of cocky and unapologetic for quite frankly being the man. On wax Jean Claude boasts rocking expensive threads like Goyard, Ferragamo and Margiela while the bums rock Asics and Robins hats, all the while daring those to flex on him. Jean Claude doesn't look to be slowing down anytime soon.

Diego Bo$$
Designer Fever
Lorenzo Duren better known to his peers and the social community as Diego Bo$$ is a 27 year old “turned” well known rapper in the DMV. Diego grew up all over Prince George's County better known as PG County which is predominantly urban minority so growing up “wasn't a walk in the park”. In Diego’s own words: "I’ve seen so many young kids my age pass away due to violence and drugs so I feel blessed to have made it this far".
Diego attended Crossland High School in Temple Hills, Maryland graduating in 2005. The DMV rapper grew up with both parents in his life but due to his father being in and out of jail, he was mainly raised by his strong single mom Erma Freeman. Anyone close to Diego Bo$$ would tell you that Lorenzo and his rapper alter-ego are night and day. By day, Lorenzo is the hardworking 9-5 father of a beautiful 2 year old daughter named Layla but at night, Diego Bo$$ is THE “turnt up” party king who surrounds himself with beautiful women and alcohol.
All this is well expressed in his music with releases entitled “Designer Fever”, “Cut It” freestyle, and his viral “Panda” remix available on Soundcloud and other digital outlets. Diego Bo$$ is not only a turnt rapper or a rapper that can get the crowd “jumping around”, but a clever lyricist and strong word play that sets him apart from many club rappers. The DMV club rapper does not consider him-self an overnight success grinding hard in the underground rap scene from the age of 21.
The “work hard club crowd entertainer” has already amassed support from major artists opening for Meek Mill and other celebrity rappers. In the local scene, Diego Bo$$ won a few 1st place talent contests and is recognized as one of the “go to” club rappers in the DMV area. However, what many don’t know is that Diego Bo$$ was on the verge of quitting rap due to “janky” promoters misrepresenting what Hip Hop truly is. Diego’s distrust in the business side of the game took a back seat to his love of music which propelled him forward. Diego expresses this love as " I can't do nothing but rap, all I think about is rap, when I'm in the shower I rap, at work I rap so that's what I been put on this earth to do ". Diego Bo$$ has plans on becoming the greatest rapper ever and through his grind and determination the goals seem very reachable.

Heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali stands over fallen challenger Sonny Liston, shouting and gesturing shortly after dropping Liston with a short hard right to the jaw on May 25, 1965, in Lewiston, Maine. The bout lasted only one minute into the first round. JOHN ROONEY / AP
Video After The Jump
(NBC News) Muhammad Ali, the silver-tongued boxer and civil rights champion who famously proclaimed himself "The Greatest" and then spent a lifetime living up to the billing, is dead.
Ali died Friday at a Phoenix-area hospital, where he had spent the past few days being treated for respiratory complications, a family spokesman confirmed to NBC News. He was 74.
"After a 32-year battle with Parkinson's disease, Muhammad Ali has passed away at the age of 74. The three-time World Heavyweight Champion boxer died this evening," Bob Gunnell, a family spokesman, told NBC News.
Ali had suffered for three decades from Parkinson's Disease, a progressive neurological condition that slowly robbed him of both his legendary verbal grace and his physical dexterity. A funeral service is planned in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.
Even as his health declined, Ali did not shy from politics or controversy, releasing a statement in December criticizing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States. "We as Muslims have to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda," he said.
The remark bookended the life of a man who burst into the national consciousness in the early 1960s, when as a young heavyweight champion he converted to Islam and refused to serve in the Vietnam War, and became an emblem of strength, eloquence, conscience and courage. Ali was an anti-establishment showman who transcended borders and barriers, race and religion. His fights against other men became spectacles, but he embodied much greater battles.
Born Cassius Clay on Jan. 17, 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky, to middle-class parents, Ali started boxing when he was 12, winning Golden Gloves titles before heading to the 1960 Olympics in Rome, where he won a gold medal as a light heavyweight.
He turned professional shortly afterward, supported at first by Louisville business owners who guaranteed him an unprecedented 50-50 split in earnings. His knack for talking up his own talents — often in verse — earned him the dismissive nickname "the Louisville Lip," but he backed up his talk with action, relocating to Miami to train with the legendary trainer Angelo Dundee and build a case for getting a shot at the heavyweight title.

As his profile rose, Ali acted out against American racism. After he was refused services at a soda fountain counter, he said, he threw his Olympic gold medal into a river.
Recoiling from the sport's tightly knit community of agents and promoters, Ali found guidance instead from the Nation of Islam, an American Muslim sect that advocated racial separation and rejected the pacifism of most civil rights activism. Inspired by Malcolm X, one of the group's leaders, he converted in 1963. But he kept his new faith a secret until the crown was safely in hand.
That came the following year, when heavyweight champion Sonny Liston agreed to fight Ali. The challenger geared up for the bout with a litany of insults and rhymes, including the line, "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." He beat the fearsome Liston in a sixth-round technical knockout before a stunned Miami Beach crowd. In the ring, Ali proclaimed, "I am the greatest! I am the greatest! I'm the king of the world."
A Controversial Champion
The new champion soon renounced Cassius Clay as his "slave name" and said he would be known from then on as Muhammad Ali — bestowed by Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad. He was 22 years old.
The move split sports fans and the broader American public: an American sports champion rejecting his birth name and adopting one that sounded subversive.
Ali successfully defended his title six times, including a rematch with Liston. Then, in 1967, at the height of the Vietnam War, Ali was drafted to serve in the U.S. Army.
He'd said previously that the war did not comport with his faith, and that he had "no quarrel" with America's enemy, the Vietcong. He refused to serve.
"My conscience won't let me go shoot my brother, or some darker people, some poor, hungry people in the mud, for big powerful America, and shoot them for what?" Ali said in an interview. "They never called me nigger. They never lynched me. They didn't put no dogs on me."
His stand culminated with an April appearance at an Army recruiting station, where he refused to step forward when his name was called. The reaction was swift and harsh. He was stripped of his boxing title, convicted of draft evasion and sentenced to five years in prison.
Released on appeal but unable to fight or leave the country, Ali turned to the lecture circuit, speaking on college campuses, where he engaged in heated debates, pointing out the hypocrisy of denying rights to blacks even as they were ordered to fight the country's battles abroad.
"My enemy is the white people, not Vietcongs or Chinese or Japanese," Ali told one white student who challenged his draft avoidance. "You my opposer when I want freedom. You my opposer when I want justice. You my opposer when I want equality. You won't even stand up for me in America for my religious beliefs and you want me to go somewhere and fight but you won't even stand up for me here at home."

Ali's fiery commentary was praised by antiwar activists and black nationalists and vilified by conservatives, including many other athletes and sportswriters.
His appeal took four years to reach the U.S. Supreme Court, which in June 1971 reversed the conviction in a unanimous decision that found the Department of Justice had improperly told the draft board that Ali's stance wasn't motivated by religious belief.
Return to the Ring
Toward the end of his legal saga, Georgia agreed to issue Ali a boxing license, which allowed him to fight Jerry Quarry, whom he beat. Six months later, at a sold-out Madison Square Garden, he lost to Joe Frazier in a 15-round duel touted as "the fight of the century." It was Ali's first defeat as a pro.
That fight began one of boxing's and sport's greatest rivalries. Ali and Frazier fought again in 1974, after Frazier had lost his crown. This time, Ali won in a unanimous decision, making him the lead challenger for the heavyweight title.
He took it from George Foreman later that year in a fight in Zaire dubbed "The Rumble in the Jungle," a spectacularly hyped bout for which Ali moved to Africa for the summer, followed by crowds of chanting locals wherever he went. A three-day music festival featuring James Brown and B.B. King preceded the fight. Finally, Ali delivered a historic performance in the ring, employing a new strategy dubbed the "rope-a-dope," goading the favored Foreman into attacking him, then leaning back into the ropes in a defensive stance and waiting for Foreman to tire. Ali then went on the attack, knocking out Foreman in the eighth round. The maneuver has been copied by many other champions since.
The third fight in the Ali-Frazier trilogy followed in 1975, the "Thrilla in Manila" that is now regarded as one of the best boxing matches of all time. Ali won in a technical knockout in the 15th round.
Ali successfully defended his title until 1978, when he was beaten by a young Leon Spinks, and then quickly took it back. He retired in 1979, when he was 37, but, seeking to replenish his dwindling personal fortune, returned in 1980 for a title match against Larry Holmes, which he lost. Ali lost again, to Trevor Berbick, the following year. Finally, Ali retired for good.
'He's Human, Like Us'
The following year, Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.
"I'm in no pain," he told The New York Times. "A slight slurring of my speech, a little tremor. Nothing critical. If I was in perfect health — if I had won my last two fights — if I had no problem, people would be afraid of me. Now they feel sorry for me. They thought I was Superman. Now they can go, 'He's human, like us. He has problems.' ''
Even as his health gradually declined, Ali — who switched to more mainstream branches of Islam — threw himself into humanitarian causes, traveling to Lebanon in 1985 and Iraq in 1990 to seek the release of American hostages. In 1996, he lit the Olympic flame in Atlanta, lifting the torch with shaking arms. With each public appearance he seemed more feeble, a stark contrast to his outsized aura. He continued to be one of the most recognizable people in the world.

He traveled incessantly for many years, crisscrossing the globe in appearances in which he made money but also pushed philanthropic causes. He met with presidents, royalty, heads of state, the Pope. He told "People" magazine that his largest regret was not playing a more intimate role in the raising of his children. But he said he did not regret boxing. "If I wasn't a boxer, I wouldn't be famous," he said. "If I wasn't famous, I wouldn't be able to do what I'm doing now."
In 2005, President George W. Bush honored Ali with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and his hometown of Louisville opened the Muhammad Ali Center, chronicling his life but also as a forum for promoting tolerance and respect.
Divorced three times and the father of nine children — one of whom, Laila, become a boxer — Ali married his last wife, Yolanda "Lonnie" Williams, in 1986; they lived for a long time in Berrien Springs, Michigan, then moved to Arizona.
In recent years, Ali's health began to suffer dramatically. There was a death scare in 2013, and last year he was rushed to the hospital after being found unresponsive. He recovered and returned to his new home in Arizona.
In his final years, Ali was barely able to speak. Asked to share his personal philosophy with NPR in 2009, Ali let his wife read his essay:
"I never thought of the possibility of failing, only of the fame and glory I was going to get when I won," Ali wrote. "I could see it. I could almost feel it. When I proclaimed that I was the greatest of all time, I believed in myself, and I still do."

CLEVELAND (AP) — The father of a woman killed by a convicted sex offender dived across a courtroom table to attack him Thursday shortly after a judge sentenced the defendant to death for killing three people and wrapping their bodies in garbage bags.
Van Terry, the father of Shirellda Terry, had walked to the front of the courtroom to give a victim-impact statement and turned toward Michael Madison, who gave him a malicious smile. Terry lunged at Madison and was immediately swarmed by sheriff's deputies as Madison and his attorneys scrambled to get out of the way.
Law enforcement officers dragged Terry out of the courtroom and ushered him out of the courthouse. A spokesman for the Cuyahoga County prosecutor said the situation was being reviewed.
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Nancy McDonnell declined to clear the courtroom, and after about a 15-minute delay the hearing continued.
The judge accepted a jury's recommendation that Madison, 38, receive the death penalty. She could have chosen to sentence Madison to life in prison without parole. She said the horrific nature of Madison's crimes far outweighed evidence presented to spare him, including an abusive and chaotic childhood.
The jury convicted Madison last month of multiple counts of aggravated murder and kidnapping.
Michael Madison
Madison didn't make any statements during Thursday's hearing except to answer questions posed by the judge. Defense attorney David Grant declined to comment afterward.
Prosecutor Tim McGinty said the death penalty was meant for criminals like Madison, whom he called the "worst of the worst."
Any execution is likely years away because of lengthy appeals. In addition, Ohio currently lacks supplies of lethal drugs, meaning it's unclear whether it can even begin a new round of executions, currently scheduled to start in January and stretching into 2019.
The bodies of 38-year-old Angela Deskins, 28-year-old Shetisha Sheeley and 18-year-old Shirellda Terry were found in July 2013 near the East Cleveland apartment building where Madison lived. Madison told police he strangled two of the women but couldn't remember killing the third. Prosecutors say the women were killed over a nine-month period: Sheeley in October 2012, Deskins in May 2013 and Terry in July 2013.
Other relatives of the victims spoke of their heartbreak and loss during the hearing.
Linda Deskins, the stepmother of Angela Deskins, spoke about the grief Angela Deskins' father has endured.
"Nothing anyone can say or do can make it better for him," she said.
The discovery of the bodies in July 2013 drew national attention to the possibility that another serial killer like Anthony Sowell had been killing women in and around Cleveland. Sowell was convicted in 2011 and sentenced to death for killing 11 women whose bodies were found at his Cleveland home. The Ohio Supreme Court is considering whether to uphold his conviction and sentence.
Madison's attorneys never contested his guilt at trial. They instead focused on saving his life by presenting evidence that he suffered lasting psychological damage from physical abuse as a youngster. There was testimony that Madison was abused by his drug-addicted mother, a stepfather, some of his mother's boyfriends and other family members.
"This history of abuse and his dysfunctional upbringing certainly doesn't excuse what happened here but certainly provides a basis for understanding the type of person Michael Madison evolved into," Grant told the judge.
The case began when a cable television worker reported a putrid smell coming from a garage shared by Madison at the apartment building. Inside, police found the decaying body of a woman wrapped in garbage bags that were sealed closed with tape. The next day, searchers found bodies in the basement of a vacant house and in the backyard of a home nearby.
Prosecutors argued at trial and during the mitigation hearing that Madison deserved to die because of the circumstances surrounding the killings.
A death sentence "will send a message to the community that the strongest possible sentence will be imposed upon crimes of this nature," assistant prosecutor Christopher Schroeder said.
Madison was classified as a sex offender in 2002, when he was sentenced to four years in prison for attempted rape.

Pusha T is a man of many talents. Known primarily for his drug dealer laced lyrics as a Clipse member and solo artist, he displayed his versatility by penning the McDonald's "I'm Lovin' It" jingle back in 2004.
It would become the longest-running marketing campaign in the fast food chain's 76-year history, according to Rolling Stone.
Translation, a marketing and advertising services company started by Steve Stoute, was contracted by McDonald's to come up with a catchy slogan.
Most people assumed Pharrell Williams had written the Justin Timberlake-assisted jingle because he produced it, but Stoute cleared that up during a recent interview with Ebro in the Morning.
“You know who wrote that?” Stoute said. “Pusha T. That’s crazy that Pusha T wrote the song for McDonald’s.”
Steve Stoute speaks on Pusha T writing "I'm Loving It" at the 3:35 mark
Pusha is currently working on his third solo album titled "King Push," which will be released later this year.

Lamar Odom nearly lost his life last October when he was found unconscious and foaming at the mouth at Dennis Hof's Love Ranch South in Pahrump, Nevada, following a weekend of heavy partying.
He was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support. Fortunately, he recovered and after several months of physical rehabilitation Odom was released from a Los Angeles hospital in January.
Family and friends hoped that would be the 36-year old's wake up call, but he appears to be falling back into his old bad habits.
TMZ Sports reports that the former NBA player is allegedly back on drugs based on his family recently finding crack pipes, baggies, marijuana roaches and other drug paraphernalia in his Calabases, California home.
His loved ones attempted an intervention, hoping to convince Odom to enter rehab, however he refused. They think he believes he's invincible following his miraculous recovery from the brothel incident.
At this point we can only hope Odom will realize he needs help before it's too late.
