Mississippi rapper Dirt is an up and coming artist who is set to make his mark in 2013. The first order of business for the Gangster Disciple is taking care of Rick Ross. In this scathing new diss record "Six," Dirt makes it clear that disrespect to his GD nation will not be tolerated.
Directed by Red Audio
Mississippi Rap prodigy and vocal advocate for the Gangster Disciple Nation DIRT has released a rebuttal to the controversy surrounding rapper Rick Ross and the cancellation of his God Forgives, I Don't Tour. A longtime member of the Gangster Disciple Nation, DIRT is the voice in the music world to get the message loud and clear to Rick Ross—"Make good on your promises to our brotherhood and keep your rap career alive." With a new single Six, it is clear to see the blatant disrespect to the Gangster Disciple Nation with references of the Nation's leader, Larry Hoover and the use of the Star of David on the cover of The Black Bar Mitzvah will no longer be tolerated.
Not only an avid storyteller with slick rhymes and a fierce flow, but an advocate for bringing the Southern Hip-Hop Movement even further along in the Music World, DIRT is a name to remember. A devout affiliation with the Gangster Disciples has grounded DIRT with the stamina, loyalty and perseverance to conquer anything he places his mind to. Today he releases his explosive new single Six as an answer to the mockery of the Gangster Disciple Nation Rick Ross has been making. "I do not condone any violence, in fact I believe the matter can be handled, if he (Rick Ross) makes good on fiduciary arrangements that were to be handled a while back. But enough is enough with the blatant disrespect on my Nation and Larry Hoover. I'm here as the voice to the voiceless, my brothers and sisters and we will no longer tolerate the foolery of Ross." Dirt says.
DIRT dispels any alleged death threats that have been referenced, but does stand 100% by the fact Ross needs to own up to promises he has yet to make good on for the public use of the Gangster Disciple Nation to push singles, records and concerts. "This matter has nothing to do with the other members of Maybach Music Group in any way, but a straight violation on Ross' behalf of agreements that have been previously made." DIRT explains. The new single Six is an explosive track that lyrically and musically explains the situation. With a video coming soon, it is only hopefully that Ross' clears this matter up and everyone can come to terms. "I do not engage in "rap beefs", but I will stand up for what I believe in no matter what, in this case it is my family, the great Gangster Disciple Nation!"-DIRT
"SIX" was Produced by Trizz Money of the Machine, and was engineered by Bukoh Roccheadz. You can find the Press Release to this record and DIRT's stance on the GD's current matters at www.DIRT601.com or http://www.dirt601.blogspot.com/

Big Fendi, the man who discovered Nicki Minaj, and the owner of The Come Up DVD scrapped it out with Deep Freeze of Sub 0 DVD, and came out the winner.
In footage that just leaked of the fight that took place a few days ago in Harlem, New York, the 2 men are seen having a discussion/argument when Freeze suddenly punches Fendi in the face. Fendi was caught off guard and takes a couple of steps back, before starting to throw down with Freeze.
Freeze wound up with a black eye after the altercation.
The argument didn't stop there as the 2 have continued to go at each other on Twitter.
"I PHUCKED UP!! I JUST WASNT THERE TO FIGHT! SMH," Freeze wrote. "IM UPSET WITH MY PERFORMANCE. SHOULD HAVE BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME. @bigfendi I TAKE AN A$$ WHIPPING ALL DAY! BUT NOW U KNOW U AINT PLAYING WITH A SUCKER!!! I CAN LOSE A FIGHT, BUT I MADE A POWERFUL STATEMENT. EYE WAS F*CKED UP - BUT I BET HE COULD'NT EAT ALL WEEK!

Fans have been dying to hear some new music from G-Unit, the group and very soon they may get their wish. During an interview with Billboard.biz, 50 Cent revealed that he, Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks might be getting back into the studio together.
"People grow in different directions," 50 Cent says. "[They] have different agendas about things they want to do and they're sorting themselves out in that way and I'm focused on things that are important to me right now, but there's a strong possibility there will be a G-Unit [collaboration] with the three of us. But right now, I'm focused on my solo project."
G-Unit's last album was 2008's T.O.S. (Terminate on Sight).
During the interview 50 also discusses SMS Audio, Timbaland's involvement in the company, endorsing products, Street King Immortal and more. Head over to Billboard.biz to read it in full.
Cassidy teams up with Condom Nation to put together an official music video for "Condom Style." The Philadelphia emcee rap's over Psy's worldwide hit "Gangnam Style" about the dangers of having unprotected sex.
Fresh off the release of his OG Kush III: 7 Grams mixtape, PoeBoy/Cash Money artist Brisco is back with his new street album, Fruits of My Labor. Featuring brand new single Dedication, Fruits of My Labor contains 17 original tracks from the South Florida representative. In addition to mic work from Brisco, vocals on Fruits of My Labor come courtesy of Ace Hood, Bobby Womack, Lyfe Jennings, and Rico Love, as well as Poe Boy labelmates Billy Blue, Brianna and GhostWridah. Production on the project is provided by Allstar, Fatboy, Freeway TJay, Shape Shifta, Zay Productions and more.
So far Cassidy seems to be winning his lyrical war with Meek Mill. His recent "R.A.I.D." diss has given him the edge in much of the public's eye. The Hustla is not wasting the momentum he's gained. He recently sat down with CuttaMan from Big Tyme TV to chop it up about his battle with Meek and plans he has moving forward.
"[Meek] jumped out of line trying to come at me man. You know we're from the same city, but he violated so I had to answer back with that joint called R.A.I.D.," Cassidy said.
Cass thinks the money Meek is making may be causing him to make bad decisions.
"Him getting with another team, getting a little bit of paper, you know that sh*t be going to a young n*gga's head." Cass explained. "N*ggas that ain't ever have nothing then they get a bunch of sh*t, they don't know how to deal with it so they start talking stupid [and] acting crazy, I really wanted to battle. I thought it would be good for hip hop - bring some excitement in the game. Bet he might have realized what he did and he backed out. He said he didn't wanna battle me, which was a smart move. But then he started talking a little crazy on Twitter saying little slick sh*t. So I brought out a song called My, Myself and iPhone, and I threw some jabs back at him. And that's when he came out with his lil' diss record, or what he called a diss record. It was really like a party record like all his other records but he called it a diss record."
The Hustla added that you can expect to hear some new music from him and Swizz Beatz soon.
There was also a GD named Shorty Mac sitting besides Cassidy. He threw some shots at Meek and Rick Ross during the interview. Check that out below.
Up and coming emcee Nat Lotto drops off his brand new music video for "Champagne." The track is off of Nat's latest mixtape Break the Bank, which is hosted by DJ Whoo Kid.
G-Unit/Rida Gang members Kidd Kidd and Precious Paris make cameo appearances in the clip.
50 Cent is in Las Vegas at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show promoting SMS Audio. MSN's Joseph Lee caught up with the business mogul to talk about his headphone line, Timbaland coming on board as an investor and how fast the company is growing.
"It feels great when you meet your projections," 50 joked, when asked how it feels to be CEO of SMS Audio. "We've had huge success. The touring in my music career has helped out a lot in the SMS venture because we've been able to launch in 46 countries over the last 2 years. I anticipated success, not as fast as it's actually taking off but sometimes you're surprised in a positive way."
50 said Timbaland became interested in investing in the company after falling in love with the special DJ edition headphones.
"He's just somebody that I actually respect. I play my music [and] use him as a soundboard to see how he responds to it," explained 50. "I sent him in a gift package the headsets from SMS Audio. And he starts to wear them in the studio, the DJ version of the headsets. He kind of fell in love with it and he had his investment guys sort out the possibilities of investing in the company. He invested and now he has equity ownership. He can help me in the decision making process while utilizing other acoustic engineers to get the highest sound quality possible."
50 goes on to talk about the charitable aspect of his business ventures and confirms his Street King Immortal album will be in stores on February 26th.
"I've worked on this album for 3 years," 50 said. "I've actually over-recorded it. I've recorded almost 70 songs for it. I'm going through a process right now where I have to cut records that I really love in order to meet different price points online that I know will be more effective sales wise. It's gonna be tough for me to get rid of some of the songs because I like them so much. In my head it has to be a certain way. I'm working on that process now. I'm happy with it... I'm excited."
Brick Star Boyz boss Troy Ave A.K.A. Harry Powder is back with new visuals for "Blanco." The song is off of Troy's new mixtape White Christmas, hosted by DJ Holiday.
DJ-EV is gearing up to release the third installment of his B*tch I'm From Cleveland mixtape series. Check out the 1st leak featuring Machine Gun Kelly Ft. Ray Jr, E-V, Tezo, Dub-O, JP and Pooh Gutta.
S-1 (Symbolyc One) has been enjoying the success that comes along with producing records for artists such as Beyonce, Jay-Z, Ghostface Killah, Erykah Badu and many others.
His latest hit record is 50 Cent's "My Life."
HipHop-N-More recently caught up with S-1 to talk about how that record came about and get his take on what it was like working with 50.
HHNM: Let me start off by saying that I love 50 Cent’s new single ‘My Life’ featuring Eminem and Adam Levine. How does it feel to work with 3 heavyweights like them on the same song?
S1: Oh man, it’s truly a blessing. It’s one of those things that as a producer you long to do. You desire to work with artists you grew up on. I’ve been a fan of 50, Eminem and Maroon 5. So just to be producing a track with all of them on, it is surreal.
HHNM: I’ve heard that the beat is almost 2 years old and 50 was holding it for a really long time. Can you please explain the background story to it and how the three artists came together on the song.
S1: Yeah so I met Dre McKenzie about 2 and a half years ago. I was sending records to 50 through Dre and Tony, the A&Rs up at G-Unit. Dre hit me one day and was like ‘I have held these 2 records for 50, he’s really diggin’ them’. One weekend I just happened to be in New York and decided to stop by G-Unit office. I talked to Dre, he played the two beats that 50 wanted. And coincidentally 50 happened to be there. He got out of his meeting and came to me and was like ‘yo, you got some crazy stuff’. He pulled me into his office and he played me the ‘My Life’ beat and started doing his verses and the hook right there to show me how he wanted the song to be.
HHNM: Oh so he already had the idea before you got there.
S1: Yeah, he already had the idea when I connected with him. But he hadn’t recorded the song yet. He spit the lyrics over the beat live for me in the office and was like ‘yo this could be really big’. And that was the last time I talked to 50. Throughout the 2 years or so I was hearing things from different people. Like this cat at Universal told me Eminem hopped on the record. Somebody else then told me Adam Levine jumped on it too. I was only getting little pieces of information until maybe like a few weeks before the song actually released when all the paperwork had to be done. That’s when I found out that they are about to release it as a single.
HHNM: Crazy. So do you have more work with him? Any chance he may have recorded to another beat of yours?
S1: I know he has one other beat of mine that he really likes but I’m not sure if it’s gonna make the album. He does have more of my production with him that he’s digging. I guess as we draw closer to the release of his album Street King Immortal, we will know better.
S1 was also behind the boards for Kanye West's 2010 banger "Power." Check out what he had to say about the record and his relationship with the G.O.O.D. Music CEO.
HHNM: ‘Power’ is definitely one of the most memorable songs you have produced. Are you working or planning to work with Kanye again?
S1: Yes, I’m always working with Kanye. In fact, I’m actually part of his production team Very G.O.O.D. Beats.
HHNM: Yeah I’ve heard something about that. So that’s like an official production team with producers signed to it?
S1: Yup, that’s his production team Very G.O.O.D. Beats and I’m very much a part of that. I’m always working with Kanye. He has maybe like 20 records with me (laughs). Where they’ll end up I have no idea but yeah, I’m always involved with stuff he’s working on, whether it’s his solo project or a G.O.O.D. Music compilation album. I’m always contributing my ideas of work to him.
HHNM: 20? Wow. Well he’s supposedly working on his new solo album so hopefully we’ll hear you on that.
S1: Oh yeah, he’s gearing up to like really go in on that. I’m definitely excited about being a part of that.
