KD Young Cocky shows a more mellow and sincere side to his music with the release of his latest video “Work For It”. This laid back tune talks about KD working his way up, how he has no time for people with a broke mentality or haters and how he expects others to hustle for theirs. With his cash laid out on fine china and a drink in his hand, KD takes us around the lavish mansion spitting bars like “Out the mud; had to get it out the mud” referring to how grimey the hustle world can be for someone trying to make a way out. A perfect segue to show KD Young Cocky’s transition from a kid in Chicago to the man he is becoming. The video also takes viewers inside one of his performances full of high energy and packed with tons of fans, vibing out to his music & energy.

(Reuters) Federal prosecutors brought two weapons charges against a hip-hop podcast host over a fatal shooting at a Manhattan concert venue last May, although he has not been charged with the killing itself.
Daryl Campbell, who goes by the name Taxstone on his podcast, appeared on Tuesday in Manhattan federal court. U.S. prosecutors said in court filings that Campbell's DNA had been found on the only weapon used in the shooting.
A bodyguard for rapper Troy Ave, Ronald McPhatter, was killed. Troy Ave, whose real name is Roland Collins, was shot in the leg, and two concertgoers were also wounded May 25 at Irving Plaza, where the rapper T.I. was scheduled to perform.
Collins previously pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and other charges for firing back at Campbell after he was hit.
Campbell and Collins have feuded for years, with Campbell at one point publicly threatening to shoot Collins if he approached him, according to federal agents.
Surveillance video shows Campbell entering the room where the shooting occurred and then running out after four shots were fired, according to court papers. Video also shows Collins holding the gun after the shooting and firing a single shot at Campbell as he ran, authorities said.
At Tuesday's court hearing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Hagan Scotten argued Campbell should be detained, calling him a danger to the community and a risk of flight.
He said prosecutors were concerned about witnesses in the case, saying that Campbell was a member of a "dangerous gang" and has been arrested more than 20 times, with two felony convictions.
But defense lawyer Kenneth Montgomery said Campbell had numerous opportunities to flee since the shooting and had not, even after a SWAT team came to his door on Jan. 3.
He said the evidence showed another individual was the "most culpable," in an apparent reference to Collins, and said that Campbell's discussions about his gang involvement years ago on his podcast were taken out of context.
"He has walked down the path of redemption," he said.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew Peck set bail at $500,000 and ordered that Campbell remain under house arrest, though he is allowed to leave to work on his podcast.
"I'm taking a chance on you, Mr. Campbell," he said.

More details are coming to light regarding the arrest on Monday, January 16, of "Tax Season" podcast host Taxstone.
The New York Times reports that a federal complaint against Taxstone, born, Daryl Campbell, indicates that his DNA was found on the trigger, hand grip and magazine of the 9-millimeter Kel-Tec semiautomatic handgun used in the May 25, 2016 shooting at Irving Plaza in New York City, that left Ronald McPhatter dead and three people wounded, including rapper Troy Ave injured.
Tax allegedly had the weapon before entering the green room backstage during the T.I. concert. After the shooting, he reportedly flees with Troy chasing him while firing the Kel-Tec.
As we previously reported, U.S. Marshals New York, New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force and the New York Police Department arrested Taxstone Monday morning at his aunt's home in Brooklyn, New York.
He faces federal weapon possession charges and is scheduled to appear in federal court Tuesday, January 17.
“We look forward to reading the complaint from the government," Tax's attorney Ken Montgomery told the New York Daily News. “He’s doing as best he can for anybody charged with a federal crime. He’s a smart young man, and he’s concerned about his family, like anyone would be.”
The Troy Ave/Taxstone beef dates back at least five years. In a 2015 interview with Baller Alert, the podcaster details why he has an issue with the BSB Records CEO.
“I think his music is mediocre, and he, like, tried to portray this image that he was making greater music than everybody in the city when he wasn’t,” Tax said at the time. "You know, it was like a time when Bobby Shmurda was the hottest person in the city. [Troy] was trying to say he was the best. I had to, like, be the person to interrupt that. I just feel he’s, like, a fraud rapper, like he never was a drug dealer.”
Troy is currently free on $500,000 bail after being arrested in connection with concert shooting. He pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted murder and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.
He claims that he fired the weapon in self defense after wrestling it away from his attacker. His lawyers say their client "is the victim."
Tax denies any involvement in the shooting.

Tax was also wanted on a federal warrant charging him with being a felon in possession of firearm.

Troy, real name Roland Collins, was arrested after the shooting and charged with attempted murder and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, after surveillance video emerged showing him firing a gun inside the venue.
He pleaded not guilty and is currently free after posting $500,000 bond.
As we previously reported, Troy was allegedly approached backstage by someone he had beef with and a fight ensued. A scuffle over a gun resulted in the shooting injuries and McPhatter's death.
Troy survived another attempt on his life on December 25, 2016, when a gunman walked up and opened fire on his Maserati while it was stopped at a traffic light in Brooklyn.

(Seeker) Forty-eight years after his death, Martin Luther King, Jr. still stands as one of the most symbolic, most loved and most tragic of figures of the Civil Rights Movement.
This year, the home where the civil rights leader was born in some 88 years ago, will reopen after being closed since August for repairs. The modest Atlanta, Ga. home at at 450 Auburn Ave. N.E., was originally built in 1895. The historic site typically draws up to 20,000 visitors on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, which caused some wear and tear. After repairs to the first floor of the house, where King lived until age 12, it will open again to the public in time for the MLK holiday.
Across the country, Americans are honoring King through rallies, services and days of service. Here, in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, take a look back at his life and some of his greatest accomplishments.
Son of a Preacher Man
King was born Jan. 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Ga., to Rev. Martin Luther King, Sr. and Alberta Williams King.
He studied theology, eventually earning a Ph.D. and following in his father's footsteps, becoming a preacher. Eventually, the two Rev. Kings would co-pastor Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta until the younger King's death in 1968.
In the photo below, Martin Luther King, Jr. looks on as his father delivers a sermon.
King married Coretta Scott on June 18, 1953. The couple would go on to have four children. After his death, the King family, led by Coretta, took on his mission of promoting racial equality.
Peaceful Protest
Known for his marches and peaceful protests, King was still arrested 30 times, according to the King Center.
A Fitting Farewell
King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech to a crowd of civil rights activists gathered at the Lincoln Memorial on Aug. 28, 1963.
The moment and the phrase, "I have a dream..." have gone down in history as the pinnacle moment of his career.
Famous for his non-violent protests, King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. At age 35, he was the youngest man, the second American and the third black man to be so honored, according to the King Center.
Voting Rights
In this photo, dated Aug. 5, 1965, King meets with President Lyndon B. Johnson and other civil rights leaders.
The following day, President Johnson signed the 1965 Voting Rights Act, outlawing discriminatory voting practices.
A Fitting Farewell
King was shot and killed while standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tenn., on April 4, 1968.
Thousands of mourners, including the Rev. Jesse Jackson (pictured at right) attended the funeral.
A Lasting Legacy
Mourners at King's funeral procession show their support for the iconic figure.
Only four days after his death, the first legislation providing for a Martin Luther King, Jr. federal holiday was filed. It would take until June 7, 1999 for all 50 states to recognize the holiday, according to the King Center. The third Monday of January is now officially Martin Luther King, Jr. Day across the country.
