DMX is out on bond in his tax evasion case, but isn't making it easy for the judge not to throw him in jail.

TMZ reports that the multi-platinum rapper, real name Earl Simmons, got an earful when he showed up for his bond hearing on Friday, August 11, 30 minutes late.

He's allegedly failed four drug tests for cocaine and marijuana. In addition, X violated another condition of his bond by leaving New York City to take care of some family matters in St. Louis, without getting court permission first.

As a result he's been placed on house arrest and must wear an ankle monitor.

DMX is currently facing 14 counts of evading more than $1 million in federal taxes. If convicted he could be sentenced to 44 years in federal prison.

G Herbo is 21-years-old, and that might shock you. For several years, he’s been one of the biggest names on Chicago’s music scene, stealing the show on Nicki Minaj’s “ChiRaq” back in 2014 after already becoming a nationally recognized product of the city’s drill uprising as Lil’ Herb. In the latest episode of “Open Space,” Herbo speaks on the horrors of growing up in “Terror City,” working hard to be a leader and not a follower, his faith and more.

“I was catching blessings when I didn’t die and go to jail,” starts Herbo, as he discusses his spirituality. “Those were blessings from God. It wasn’t me, finessing, nothing. Those was real blessings.” Herbo grew up in a place known as Terror Town, a neighborhood on Chicago’s South side, and the things he witnessed there as a youth play a prominent role in his lyrical content.

That’s evidenced clearly by the first single off Herbo’s upcoming debut album, ‘Humble Beast,’ dropping this summer. “Red Snow” is a painstaking description of Chicago’s winters, which aren’t frigid enough to cool the streets down. “They stealin’, robbin’, living heartless, never hit their target/ The summer’s long and winter’s harsh ‘cause we got red snow,” he raps on the song’s chorus.

Herbo’s journey to his full-length debut has been long, and it hasn’t come without lessons. Watch him divulge some of them in his “Open Space” interview below.

    The KonQuestNow Kamp is one of the hardest working most unique units of artists to ever come out of the underground. Their work ethic and original sound and style has quickly set them apart from the rest, underground to main stream, and paved their own lane.  And this latest release from this super squad of talent over shoots the bar KonQuest has set in the past. 

    Wreck The Rebel and Verseborn, of KonQuestNow, have already shown that their diversity and versatility is strongly unmatched both past and present. They bring tomorrows sound with their lyrical wordplay while still holding tight to every essence of form that makes HipHop what it is.  The two are walking talking thesauruses of rhyme scheme capabilities. Super heroes of sorts in an industry filled with do overs, copy cats and substance-less verses.

    With their new single release "No Ones Perfect" or NOP, the KonQuest heavy hitters team up with STP and J. Morgan....and lyrically it is hard to tell one from the next. Each artist holds their own and delivers a first person monologue of testimony. Detailing a life of glorious failure and life changing success, they focus on the fact that we all must learn through trial and tribulation. No One is perfect. We must all expect to fail when pursuing a driven goal. After all, with out ever failing...how would we know when we succeed?

    The power of self understanding is thick in the energy of No Ones Perfect. The lyrics alone could hold a listeners attention accapella,...but what would a hot hip hop track be with out the beat?   No Ones Perfect is an amazing produced composition created by the multi-talented Wreck The Rebel. He placed some of the strangest sounds and loops together to make one of the most perfectly designed instrumentals I've heard in quite some time.  The overall style and format fit the delivery and mindset of each artist individually with out ever changing tempo or style. 

     All in all this is one of the most powerful tracks released this year. Everything about it screams masterpiece. We cannot praise KonQuest enough for this single. And any real hip hop consumer needs to add this one to their playlist. Keep your ears open for these emcees...because they are on a quick rise to victory...and their KonQuest is Now.
