Listen to "The Black Book Here"

Check out the new twelve track mixtape coming from Al Quran delivering "The Black Book".

Boi Floyd drops new single "Extra Ordinary" talking about the grind and work ethic separating himself from any rapper in the game. Coming from the bottom yet excelling to greatness, Floyd flow in this single parallels with early T.I. with his unique Chicago twist giving nostalgia of the early 2000’s music feel. Known for pairing dope bars with luxury beats (Produced by C-Sick) Floyd proves he's "up next" with “Extra Ordinary.”

Blac Youngsta has stirred up controversy once again. The Memphis rapper posted a photo from a video shoot of himself being crucified on Monday, July 10.

The pic has drawn irate responses from all over the internet. One very angry critic is rapper Ralo. He responded to the photo by posting an Instagram video chiding Youngsta for being what he termed as a "bitch ass nigga" and for "playing with God."

At one point the 1017 Eskimo Records recording artist offers Youngsta $10,000 to take the photo off of his IG account, but as of this afternoon it's still up.

Those wanting to watch the Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor fight in the comfort of their own homes, should be prepared to cough up $99.95 for the high definition broadcast ($89.95 standard), according to Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times.

The @FloydMayweather @TheNotoriousMMA pay per view price will be $89.95 -- same as the Pacquiao fight - $10 more for HD.

— Lance Pugmire (@latimespugmire) July 10, 2017

That matches the pay-per-view price of Mayweather's 2015 bout against Manny Pacquiao, which set a record with 4.6 million buys.

McGregor/Mayweather is expected to surpass that total.

Fans will tune in to see The Notorious One (21-3 MMA), in his first professional boxing match. On the opposite side, Money Mayweather, will become the first boxer in history to go 50-0, breaking his current tie with Rocky Marciano if he wins.

The match will take place in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena on August 26

(The Score) Bellator just snagged itself another contender.

On Monday, the promotion announced that it has signed top-five UFC middleweight Gegard Mousasi. The signing was first reported by MMAjunkie's Chamatkar Sandhu.

The 31-year-old revealed on "The MMA Hour" with Ariel Helwani that the deal will be for six fights and he later issued a tweet showing himself putting pen to paper:

A new era has arrived. Me signing my @BellatorMMA contract. Bellator MWs, there is a new sheriff in town. pic.twitter.com/eJ1yDmROcu

— Gegard Mousasi (@mousasi_mma) July 10, 2017

Mousasi completed his UFC contract with a TKO finish of Chris Weidman at UFC 210 and had been expected to re-sign with the organization in May. In 12 Octagon appearances, "The Dreamcatcher" compiled a 9-3 record with notable wins over Weidman, Vitor Belfort, Dan Henderson, and Lyoto Machida.

In Bellator, Mousasi will be reunited with former Strikeforce boss Scott Coker. That 2009-13 run was part of a 14-year career in which Mousasi has gone 42-6-2 thus far. He is currently on a five-fight winning streak.

For the second time in several days a mural of Prodigy from the group Mobb Deep has been destroyed. The painting, which is on a building in Queensbridge, New York, was done by artists Jeff Henriquez and Eli “Eli Eos” Lazare. It was originally completed on July 7, following five days of work.

Within 24 hours it had been defaced by vandals who splattered white paint on it.

"This is some sucker shit," rapper Cormega captioned a photo of the damage.

The memorial was soon fixed, only to be vandalized again over the weekend. This time red paint was used to destroy it.

Bynoe of The Riot Squad posted an Instagram photo on Monday, July 10, of this latest act of hatred. He expressed his anger in it's caption.

"This is some faggot shit!! I dealt with hate on all spectrums but this is corny, I'll just do it in Hempstead if I was them because this corny shit right here is a bad representation of Queens, we ain't never been on this type of time smh!!! Rest Eternally the ghetto super hero."

Hopefully, the mural can be redone or moved to another location.

Prodigy died on June 20, 2017, following a lifelong battle with sickle cell anemia. He was 42 years old.

Set amid many of the defining events of the past four decades, The Defiant Ones tells the stories of Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre -- one the son of a Brooklyn longshoreman, the other straight out of Compton -- and their improbable partnership and surprising leading roles in a series of transformative events in contemporary culture. From director Allen Hughes (Menace II Society) this revealing, compelling and often-gritty story takes place in recording studios, in humble homes and massive mansions, in criminal courts and in the highest corridors of corporate power.

Hughes shows how decades of defiance and determination helped Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre build a few empires, make a series of American dreams come true and transform two American street kids from different tough neighborhoods into a global force to be reckoned with. This epic look at America shows how you can consistently defy conventional wisdom and even logic, and still win big.

The four-part documentary event is told with the help of many of the most notable artists and figures of our time, reflecting Hughes' unfettered access to Iovine, Dre and the remarkable cast of figures who have been a part of their success story. In addition to extensive interviews with Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, who speak frankly about their highs and lows, the show includes interviews with such music icons as Bono, David Geffen, Eminem, Nas, Ice Cube, Gwen Stefani, Jon Landau, Tom Petty, Trent Reznor, Snoop Dogg, Bruce Springsteen and will.i.am. The series also features never-before-seen footage from a multitude of recording and writing sessions with Eazy-E, JJ Fad, Stevie Nicks, N.W.A., Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and U2, among others.
