Taiyamo Denku links together with New Jersey producer Nick Wiz for the hard hitting, head nodding, "If I Did An Album With Nick Wiz".

All beats on the EP are featured on Nick Wiz' "Unreleased 90's Hip Hop Instrumentals" project (click here), which was the initial inspiration behind the creation of IIDAAWNW. The album can be streamed below as well as purchased for $5 from the attached Bandcamp player.

Joey Bada$$ dissed Troy Ave on his new single titled "Ready" when he threw a line out saying his Pro Era partner Kirk Knight outsold the BSB Records boss.
"And I never lost my hunger man I stayed hungry / If we started talking numbers man they wouldn't love me / Man I'd rather keep the peace but its getting ugly / But fuck it what I'm about to say is what they didn't want me / 60k first week for the Badass / 200k to this day I know you niggas mad / With the 80/20 split my nigga do the math / My nigga Kirk just outsold Troy Ave," Joey rapped.
Troy responded with a scathing diss called "Bad Ass" that currently has him trending worldwide, mainly because he disses deceased Pro Era member Capital Steez.
"Cause I'm a savage, this gon leave you sad bitch / Don't get suicidal like ya friend, here's a casket/ Steez burning in Hell, my burner's in my belt / I'm really killing shit, you niggas killing yourself / Fucking weirdos, off the roof, 'Steer clear yo!' / This niggas tryna fly, he think he a superhero / Splat man! Fuck you and that man / And all three labels you signed to, they wack man."
Sway Calloway of Sway in the Morning reached out to Troy to get his take on the beef.
Troy said he doesn't regret the Steez line.
"He ain't pass away he killed himself," Troy told Sway. "That's the difference, he took his own life. God gave you life. It ain't your right to take that."
He added that if Joey would never have added Kirk into the beef things wouldn't have escalated to this point.
"It's no rules in reactions and it's no rules in beef," Troy said.

Rick Ross has been indicted for his alleged attack on a groundskeeper at his Fayette County, Georgia home on June 4, 2015.
Charges of kidnapping, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm while committing a crime were handed down by a grand jury last week.
TMZ reports that Ross' attorney, Steve Sadow, plans to argue that his client was well within his rights to assault Jonathan Zamudio because the groundskeeper was committing felonies by using cocaine and drug paraphernalia in the guest house of the rapper's crib.
Sadow will claim that Ross was "acting in self-defense and in defense of his property when he encountered trespassers."
Nadrian James
Ross, real name William Roberts, and his bodyguard Nadrian James are accused of taking Zamudio and another worker into the guest house on his property and attacking them.
Zamudio was allegedly pistol whipped and beaten, suffering a neck injury and two chipped teeth.

"My man Leo, come on. You wanna talk about an honorary black dude," Fox joked with TMZ. "Leo's the closest thing to Tyrone as you can get. Titanic, he drowned. You know black dudes don't swim in the ocean. If Leo [wanted to play a black man] you'd have to let him do that."
Foxx and DiCaprio starred together in the 2012 movie"Django Unchained."

The lawsuit asked for the $57K plus lawyer fees.
TMZ reports that the two sides have now reached an amicable agreement. Under the terms of the deal Universal Music Publishing Groupwill pay the rapper $153,751.21.

Katt Williams is currently sitting in a Gainesville, Georgia jail after being charged with battery.
According to the Associated Press, the 44-year old comedian, real name Micah SierraWilliams, was arrested on Monday, February 29, following a confrontation with a pool supply store clerk.
Williams was in the company of two females when he began arguing with the employee. Things escalated and he allegedly threw goggles at him, before going behind the counter to punch the man at least once.
Police were called around 11 a.m. When they arrived on the scene they found the"Friday After Next"star outside "lying on the ground with his hands behind his back as though he was ready to go to jail," Sgt. Kevin Holbrook said.
He faces a misdemeanor battery charge and is being held on $5,000 bond.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are currently having some chemistry issues. The team has lost 3 out of their last 4 games following a 113-99 trouncing by the Washington Wizards on Sunday, February 28.
J.R. Smith says the Cavaliers have to get it together
After the game guard J.R. Smith said his level of concern is "extremely high" regarding his team.
"We can't play basketball like this going down the stretch," Smith said via ESPN. "There's 24, 25 games left in the year and you talk about contending, being a championship contender, and get blown out by a team. ... After losing a game to the No. 2 team in the East, then you come out and get thrashed and make it look good at the end. We can't do that. If we're serious about who we're supposed to be, then we can't do this."
The Cavs still lead the Eastern Conference with an overall record of 41-17, but the Toronto Raptors are on their heels at 39-19.
The team will make the playoffs regardless, but they would like the home court advantage a 1st place finish in the East would give them.
Kyrie Irving is reportedly not happy in Cleveland
The biggest problem for Cleveland seams to be that their star point guard Kyrie Irving is reportedly unhappy with the team and wants out.
"Dating back to last year, I’ve been told that Kyrie Irving ain’t too happy being in Cleveland," Stephen A. Smith said Monday on ESPN's First Take. "The situation is not ideal for him. I don’t know the particulars, I have not spoken to him personally. It’s something that I’ve been hearing for months; that under ideal circumstances he would prefer to be someplace other than Cleveland. Now when you combine that with the kind of personality that LeBron James has ... I just don't think that the situation is as ideal and tranquil as LeBron James expected it would be when he went back to Cleveland."
If you follow sports closely you know that an unhappy star player can turn into a cancer for a team's locker room. That's not to say that Irving is not a team player and can't be an integral part of a championship team ... it just might not happen in Cleveland.
Irving, 23, is averaging 18.9 points, 4.3 assists and 2.8 rebounds per game this season.
The team fired head coachDavid Blattin January and replaced him withTyronn Lue. The trade deadline has already passed.
There is nothing Cleveland can do at this point to improve their situation other than putting whatever baggage there is behind them and agree to play as a cohesive unit for the rest of the season, if they want a shot at a ring.
