Brooklyn spitter K. Gaines and producer Maxwell Benson inks new deal with Priority/Captiol Records on highly anticipated EP “Ticket to Elsewhere.” The EP serves as a puzzle piece in a much broader arch of works K. Gaines plans to release over the course of 2017/2018 including subsequent EPs. Each installment will showcase musical styles from distinct regions of the US with feature producers from each region.
Ticket To Elsewhere will push the envelope in hip hop over the course of seven tracks. From the socio - politically charged jungle ruckus of “Riot Gear” to the clever tales of “Glass Ceilings” (featuring Sebastian Marciano from Stereo Off) and major feature with Ras Kass. Ticket To Elsewhere also features work by up and coming Los Angeles visual artist Reef Kills. The artwork for each EP in the series, will form a more intricate visual piece with all the purpose and intention of a map.
“What we have is a beautiful conceptual arc,” muses K. Gaines. “When we blend our sounds, subject matter, and flows, what we are giving you is a ticket to somewhere else. Each EP is a puzzle piece to a different region. ” Benson adds, “We’re not chasing the crowd with this one, it’s an art piece. Not everybody’s gonna get where we‘re going, but we can leave a map in case they want to catch up.”

A 25-year old man who had been diagnosed with throat cancer murdered the friend that introduced him to cigarettes.
The Hindustatin Times reports that upon learning of the diagnosis, Mustakeem Ahmad, became so enraged he purchased a gun, practiced shooting so he wouldn't miss his target and shot dead the victim, 25-year old Inayat, at the restaurant where the two had worked together as chefs in West Delhi.
Ahmad was also upset that Inayat was performing better on the job.
“Though Ahmad and Inayat were friends at the workplace, Inayat was reportedly better at his job and well-behaved and soon became the favorite of the restaurant owner,” police told the Hindustatin Times.
Ahmad was eventually fired from the job. He decided he would either get Inayat fired or kill him.
On Thursday, August 24, he returned to the restaurant to carry out his plan.
“He was carrying his loaded pistol to the restaurant. Ahmad had planned to kill Inayat if he failed to get him fired from the job. That is what eventually happened. Ahmad ended up picking a fight with Inayat. He later shot at him in the middle of the argument,” said an investigator.
Ahmad fled the scene, but was later captured by police.

Lakewood Church in Houston has been receiving national criticism for it's decision not to open it's doors to victims of Hurricane Harvey.
Joel Osteen, pastor of the mega-church, which can house 16,000 people, said the decision was reached because his facility was inaccessible due to rising waters.
The church has done an about face and on Tuesday, August 29, it will open to collect baby food, baby formula, baby diapers, and adult diapers on behalf of the city.
In addition, Lakewood told city officials it would shelter Harvey victims once other shelters are full.
