Pensacola, Florida native Ebony D. Weatherspoon, known in the industry as Raven Salve’, is bringing the flavor soul back to music. An amazingly talented young songstress, Raven has quickly developed a reputation for releasing powerful and soulful music. Blending Escambia, County, Southern Soul, Gospel and R&B, she creates the sounds that take you too a time when music was filled with joy. A fun soundtrack to a great time. And her latest single "Jelly Roll," is nothing short of everything we have come to love from Raven Salve'.

The single "Jelly Roll" is from Raven Salve's debut album "Let's Dance the Mix." Jelly Roll holds all of the qualities of a dance classic. Raven's melodic voice tunes through notes so naturally, it's very refreshing in an age where digital trickery has outweighed natural talent. And the talent showcases from beginning to end in "Jelly Roll," as Raven sings about the love of her life, her shoulder to lean on...the ying to her yang...or better yet..the jam in her jelly roll.

An awesome single capturing the essence and feeling of love and it's power to uplift you, Jelly Roll is an instant classic. And the material isn't slowing down as Raven Salve' is preparing her upcoming release of the EP “Metamorphosis,” set for release by July 2018. In the mean time keep up with raven's moves and music @

In this clip, Rock from Heltah Skeltah gave the backstory to the scar on the side of his face. According to him, the scar is from a cut he suffered at the hands of a 32-year-old man he fought when he was just 16. Rock said that the guy who he characterized as having "muscles" was no match for his hand speed, something he isn't quite sure he has retained at this point in his life. he said the guy cut him but he isn't quite sure with what. Rock stated that he opted not to go to the hospital and instead look for the guy's home in search of retribution.

Rock later discussed the development of the legendary Boot Camp Clik and how Heltah Skeltah was formed. Rock talked about discovering Ruck and how they kept in contact while he was in jail. He said that they both had other music partners before forming their own group to which Rock initially thought was corny but while in jail he noticed his musical relationships with others began to fade while he and Ruck remained tight. He also gave Ruck credit for coming up with the name Heltah Skeltah which is actually the group's second name - the first name remains unspoken according to Rock. He went on to talk about the formula for success in hip-hop which he got from studying other artists and especially their debuts. Rock claims that no one has had a first-coming like Heltah Skeltah and the Boot Camp Clik in general.

There was a scene in a movie, In 2 Deep, that went like this;

  LL Cool J as "God":  Where you from?

 Omar Epps as "J. Reed":  Akron.

                        God:  Akron? I ain't know they was gettin it in Akron...

                        J Reed:  Well, if you don't tell nobody, I'll keep getting it. you know what I'm saying?

     This scene  ran through my mind after being introduced to the music of 6 Gang. And this is in no means meant as disrespect. It is a salute, real recognize real, and if you havn't been somewhere...you can't be sure what is going on there.

     Hailing from the Middle of Map, the Midwest...Fort Dodge, Iowa to be exact, 6 Gang is out to rep for the city that made them the survivors and hustlers they are today.  Their trials and tribulations, as well as lessons understood, reflect in the music they make. And that creates a form of real street hip hop we haven't heard in a while. And as an avid hip hop consumer, it felt good to just ride to something "real" again.

    They latest single from 6 Gang comes in the form of a music video. "I Got A Plug" is a hard hitting Hustler's Anthem. Shot by CashGanGFilms, the visual presented for "I Got A Plug" matches the gritty sound to a T. And being that my first look at Fort Dodge, Iowa (or any where relatively close for that matter) I have to say, my first thought was "I ain't know they was getting it in Fort Dodge, Iowa." And with that I myself have become an instant fan. The realism in the music and the tooth and nail grind to succeed has made me want to know more about the music being created from this area. And that's what great artists do...they open the door for their city to be seen.

"I Got A Plug" audio file single won't drop until October 31st, but you can check out the video today

Nelly and his team are feeling somewhat vindicated today after it was revealed that a woman who accused the rapper of rape won't testify against him.

TMZ reports that the 21-year old alleged victim's attorney, Karen Koehler, has asked the Auburn Police Department in Washington State, and the King County D.A. to "put a halt to the criminal investigation of [Nelly]. She will not testify further in a criminal proceeding against him."

Koehler added that her client feels the pressure of going up against a celebrity is too much to handle. "Who will believe her? People are saying horrible things already. She cannot handle this. She is about to break."

Nelly's attorney, Scott Rosenblum, told TMZ that he's recommending that the "Hot in Herre" hit maker take legal action against the woman. He also wants her to issue a public apology.

"[The accuser's] reckless accusation, once investigated thoroughly, was exposed for what it was-a fabrication. A fabrication that has caused Nelly and his family to suffer emotionally and financially," Rosenblum said.

As we previously reported, Nelly was arrested Saturday, October 7, after the woman called police to say she’d been raped on board his tour bus hours after a concert. 

He was released from custody later that day without charges being filed against him.
