Bryan "Baby" Williams and Ronald "Slim" Williams continue to diversify their business interests.
Last year the two launched their Cash Money Content imprint. The companies will also sell books at concerts and hold red-carpet launch parties for authors.
"We think we can do more, market books in a new way," Birdman told the Wall Street Journal at the time. "We want to put out five or six books a year."
Now comes word that they have made their first major move by acquiring the literary catalogue of the late Iceberg Slim.
Cash Money Content will re-print seven Iceberg novels including "Pimp: The Story Of My Life." The novel has sold over 2.5 million copies and has played a big influence on rappers like Ice-T, Slim Thug and Jay-Z to name a few.
CMC has a deal in place with the Atria Books imprint of CBS Corp.'s Simon & Schuster to market and distribute the books.
Atria's publisher, Judith Kerr, says thinks the market is ready for CMC. "Cash Money has a particular expertise in the audience they appeal to, and they feel it's important for their audience to read books

As cops returned fire McCloskey tried to get back in his truck, which was rolling because he had not put it in park. When he enters the vehicle car glass can be seen shattering as police fired at the vehicle. He was fatally wounded and declared dead at the scene.

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama has decided not to release photos of Osama bin Laden's body as evidence of his death, an administration official briefed by the White House told CNN Wednesday.
The decision settles the debate over whether to release the images, though Obama's choice is sure to garner criticism.
Earlier, two top senators involved in national security said the photos of bin Laden's corpse should be released.
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Michigan, who chairs the Armed Services Committee -- and who has not seen the photos -- said the United States should wait to allow the emotions of people around the world who may be sympathetic to bin Laden to cool down.
"I'd let a little time pass so we that we don't play into the hands of people who want to retaliate with what obviously will be a sensational picture. I would not want to feed that sensation so I'd wait days or weeks," he said.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss, the top Republican on the Intelligence Committee -- who said he has seen the photos -- said they should be made public right away.
"I think the question is, what's the negative that could come from it?" Chambliss asked. "One of these days they're going to be released; it's a question of whether it be now on our terms or (let) somebody else do it."
Chambliss described the photos as "what you would expect from somebody who's been shot in the head. It's not pretty."
The two men answered questions from reporters as they entered a classified briefing in the Capitol on the bin Laden raid with CIA Director Leon Panetta.
Neither lawmaker immediately commented after news of Obama's decision leaked out.
Republican House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers said he was against releasing any photos, saying that he didn't want to make the job of U.S. troops abroad "any harder than it already is."
"Imagine how the American people would react if al Qaeda killed one of our troops or military leaders, and put photos of the body on the Internet. Osama bin Laden is not a trophy -- he is dead and let's now focus on continuing the fight until al Qaeda has been eliminated," he said.

Jay-Z just snagged a new trophy for the case, by winning a Sports Emmy for Outstanding Music Composition/Direction/Lyrics for his performance of "Run This Town" shown during Super Bowl XLIV.
Although Rihanna is not in the video, her voice can heard singing the chorus as Hov performed with an orchestra backing him. Clips of jarring hits and NFL great plays run throughout.
It's the first Emmy for the 41-year old Jay-Z, who has grabbed 13 Grammys in his long career.
The Ying Yang Twins are among a group of artists suing CBS Interactive and it's web site, CNET.
CNET is very popular among internet users who trust the applications, drivers, etc it has for free download.
Today, a couple of those free applications may cost CBS millions according to AllHipHop.
Peer-to-peer apps Limewire, Morpheus, iMesh and Frostwire have been downloaded more than 540 million times.
The lawsuit alleges CNET was the main distributor of those softwares and that CBS Interactive profited by using a "pay per download" system, with advertisements serving as an additional revenue generator.
Other artists involved in the suit are J-Shin, Pretty Ricky, 2 Live Crew, JT Money and The Force MD's.
"Defendants are liable as vicarious infringers for the copyright infringement committed via P2P client software that Defendants created, distributed and promoted, including LimeWire and others," the lawsuit claims.

"I would never name her "Shitty Garbaj"!!! My dog is way prettier than that bitch!!!" Kim Wrote. "What type of coward lame ass bitch tweets some shit and then deletes it.

Maxim just released their 2011 Hot 100 List.
Did your favorite babe make the cut? Let's peep the top ten!
10. Jennifer Lawrence
For her Oscar-nominated role in last year’s Winter’s Bone, this perfectly made 20-year-old learned to skin and gut a squirrel. But the self- described tomboy didn’t mind, claiming she went through an outdoorsy “wood-chopping phase” as a child in her native Hollywood. The heart of a guy’s girl in the body of a girly girl? Yup, that’s more than enough reason to justify her straight-out-of-nowhere jump to the top 10 and her imminent Hollywood takeover.
Heat factor: In X-Men: First Class she’s the one who’s blue. And topless. (But, curses, covered with scales!)
9. Cobie Smulders
For the past five years, the Canadian cutie has had us laughing our pants off as ex-teen pop star Robin on How I Met Your Mother. Last Christmas our contributions to the Nielsen ratings paid off when Cobie rewarded us with the greatest gift of all: stripping down for our December cover. “I’m hoping to start a lesbian relationship with Lily on the show,” she told us. Yup, that’s enough to keep our interest for another few years.
Heat factor: The former model was recently cast as catsuit-clad Maria Hill in The Avengers. Fanboys, let your obsessing begin!
8. Natalie Portman
She was a hot queen in Star Wars, a hot ballerina in Black Swan, and a hot scientist in Thor. Just when you thought there were no hot stereotypes left for her to take on, she becomes a hot mom. If we’d known that the newly crowned Oscar winner would end up with a ballet dancer, we would’ve seriously reevaluated our high school extracurricular activities.
Heat factor: Step 1: Rent Your Highness. Step 2: Find scene of Natalie in a metal thong. Step 3: Press pause and praise God.
7. Anne Hathaway
If anyone deserves a spot on the upper echelons of this list, it’s Anne, who’s made escorting our girlfriends to chick flicks almost bearable for an entire decade. The New York native has starred in countless blockbuster flicks (sometimes topless!), voiced cartoon characters (“Hot Blonde” on Family Guy!), and single-handedly hosted the Oscars this year (thanks for nothing, Franco!).
Heat factor: Let’s hope the world doesn’t end in 2012, because that’s when Anne is set to take on the role of Catwoman in Christopher Nolan’s next Batman installment. Can you hear us purring?
6. Bar Refaeli
The Israeli supermodel and June birthday girl recently picked up her first film role in the thriller Session, playing a psych patient whose doctor becomes obsessed with her (we see where you’re coming from, doc). However, here’s hoping that her future big-screen roles will require a wardrobe she’s more familiar with: bikinis…and maybe some body paint.
Heat factor: Bar will continue crusading for environmental awareness… while, ironically, raising the temperature wherever she goes.
5. Mila Kunis
Who’d have guessed that she’d grow up to be the hottest former cast member of That ’70s Show? (Sorry, Ashton, but it’s true.) After kicking ass in The Book of Eli, Mila literally danced her way into our hearts as Black Swan’s badass ballerina. We went to see it five times. The Natalie-Mila sex scene was fine, but, man, are we suckers for a good plié.
Heat factor: Need another reason to hate Justin Timberlake? He got to see her naked while filming next month’s Friends With Benefits.
4. Cameron Diaz
From the moment she, um, styled her hair in There’s Something About Mary, we knew Cammie was the girl for us. A French fry-eating, big-wave-surfing former model who’s done her fair share of serious ass kicking and bootie shaking on film, she’s almost too good to be true. Thankfully, she’s real. It would totally trip us out if the lady we’ve been crushing on for more than a decade didn’t exist.
Heat factor: Cameron is back just the way we like her, starring in the raunchy comedy Bad Teacher.
3. Katy Perry
How has the past year been for our 2010 No. 1? "Really difficult, because I have to be pretty every single day!" It sure is nice to see the California Gurl has remained as humble as she is hot since she first caught our attention by kissing girls and shooting whipped cream and fireworks from her, er, heart.
Heat factor: This summer she voices red-hot, blue-bodied Smurfette. We’d like to smurf that!
2. Olivia Munn
This has been a big year for Miss Munn: The Attack of the Show! geek turned into a satire goddess on The Daily Show and jumped to her highest Hot 100 position yet. With her second Maxim cover this February, Olivia told us, “I wanted to show something different: that you can be sexy and smart and a 2011 woman.” It’s true: Skewering those fat cats in Washington has never been sexier.
Heat factor: Olivia cannot be contained on the small screen—watch out for her in the upcoming comedy Freeloaders.
1. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
All hail Maxim’s new queen! When we first heard rumblings of a Megan Fox replacement in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, we wept into our Optimus Prime pillows for weeks. As it turns out, director Michael Bay found someone even foxier. Making her Hot 100 debut at the No. 1 spot and scoring her first big screen role in the next Transformers, please give a warm, not-creepy welcome to supermodel and all-around British bombshell Rosie Huntington-Whiteley!
Heat factor: Forget the Hells Angels …Rosie earned the world’s most prestigious set of wings courtesy of Victoria’s Secret in 2009.
Pop princess Rihanna finished # 22, Kim Kardashian came in at # 22, and Ciara placed at # 62. Surprisingly Beyonce didn't make the the list at all.

During the initial phases of the investigation into the killing of Notorious B.I.G., police took a look at rapper DJ Quik.
Quik has long been associated with the bloods, and was very friendly with the Death Row Records camp at the time. But the rapper is quick to point out in an interview with HipHopDX, he was cool with Biggie.
“You know they picked me up for questioning about that sh*t before? Just because I was there at that [VIBE] party [with Biggie before the shooting], they tapped my phones, found out my accountant’s number and went and posted up and waited for me at my accountant’s office to pick me up for questioning,” Quik said. “And it was only because I owned a ’95 [Chevy] Impala [SS] that was black cherry colored like the one that was used supposedly in the shooting – which was probably black, mine was burgundy, but at night they look identical in color.”
Police never bothered to question fellow cop and suspect David Mack, who was also a blood and reportedly worked part time for Death Row.
David Mack
“When they came to my accountant’s [office] to come get me, I ended up calling my lawyer and I told him what was going on,” continued Quik. “So he called the Parker Center and arranged for me to go up there and talk to ‘em, instead of them gafflin’ me up and making a scene. So I went down there and told ‘em everything I knew, everything I saw, the whole shit. And after I did that the burden was off. ‘Cause it was rumors in the street that I did that shit. How am I gonna kill Biggie Smalls when I like him? Who does that?!”

The man who has crafted hits for everyone from Eminem to Dr. Dre is hoping to land on Drake's upcoming album as well.
DJ Khalil worked with Drake before on the retail version of 'So Far Gone.' Those sessions turned into one of Drake's favorite songs "Fear."
"We did a track two years ago called 'Fear' off of So Far Gone, and it's like one of his favorite songs — he told me himself," Khalil told MTV.
Things have been coming together nicely over the past several years. Long an underground favorite as part of the rap duo Self Scientific, along with MC Chace Infinite. Khalil seems to have hit his stride as a part of Dr Dre's production team.
The beatmaker feels like Drake is one of those artist who make his job easier.
"Drake, to me, he's a lyricist, he understands songs," the producer said. "He can really write, he's an incredible writer. He has a great sense of melody. He just knows how to make good records."
