St. Louis native J-Kwon, who made a huge splash in 2004 with the hit "Tipsy," has been missing for almost a month, his label says. Gracie Production released a statement Tuesday night asking for help finding the MC.
"J-Kwon is a big part of the Gracie family, and we are obviously increasingly worried and want to make sure he is OK," Gracie Productions CEO/President Tony Bucher said in the statement. "We've already received thousands of e-mails from fans and supporters who are worried about J-Kwon, and we want everyone to know how much we appreciate the love and support. If anyone has seen J-Kwon or has access to him, please let him know we are worried about him, and to please let us know everything is ok."
Bucher and Gracie Productions have also gone as far as setting up a Twitter page @WhereIsJKwon so fans can write with any info they may have.
According to a rep for Gracie Productions, Kwon was working on a self-titled album to be released on March 23. Last year, via the indie, the 24-year-old rapper put out the albums Hood Hop 2 and Hood Hop 2.5.
J-Kwon's biggest project was the original Hood Hop, which came out in 2004. Powered by the party anthem "Tipsy," the then-17-year-old gained national exposure and even performed on "Saturday Night Live."
"I'm 17, so I can't get into the club," he explained to MTV News in 2004 about the controversial song. "I used to stand outside and see people so tipsy, so drunk, they basically did like a two-step away from the club. I took all that and was like, 'OK, what does every teen think?' When I say, 'Teen drinking is very bad, but I got a fake ID though,' people think I'm actually promoting drinking to teens. Nah. When I say, 'Everybody in the club getting tipsy,' I mean we ain't drinking but everybody else is. That's what we see, not what we do. A lot of critics come at me about this. If I was promoting teen drinking, believe me, I would've sold the song for an ad."
Kwon had a hard-knock life to begin with. He was kicked out of the house at age 12 and became homeless. In 2003, he auditioned for L.A. Reid and Jermaine Dupri, who were at Arista at the time.
"When I went in for the deal I was like, 'What if they don't sign me? Forget them. If they don't sign me, I'mma keep rolling.' That's how I approach every situation," he told MTV News. "So I'm rapping for L.A. and at the end of the verse, my line was something like, 'You don't like it, L.A., bite me,' and I turned around and mooned him, straight up."
Hood Hop was the only J-Kwon album released under the So So Def imprint before the rapper and the label parted ways years later.

Nude photos leaked of rapper Trina over the weekend. Now, she has finally addressed the leak,saying she's taken the privacy invasion tothe FBI.
The Miami rapper previously revealed that she had lost her cellphone recently and was afraid that the images stored on it might make theirway to the Internet. And, they did.
Several photos of Trina were leaked to various blogs just days ago, some of which show her crying,others showing an allergic skin reaction, and some display her exposed
body parts.
The websites we first spotted them on have since removed the pics.
She told MTV News Monday (March 1) that the person who found the photos tried to extort her for money.
"[The images are] me on a very upset day -- I think I was in Canada, upset crying," she told the network. "Just personal stuff. Photos in thestudio. I think [one] was me having an allergic reaction, breaking out.
I just think it was my personal stuff and for someone to do that is so,
so wrong. So now I'm actually having it looked into by the FBI and it's
gonna be a bigger situation than just leaked photos. Hopefully we can
deal with the situation and put an end to it."
Trina went on to explain that while some of the racy images she took herself, some were placed in there just to draw more attention to theset.
As far as the pics of the rash on her arm, Trina said the took them to show her doctor. But, she doesn't sure what caused the allergicreaction.
"I don't recall being allergic to anything, but obviously, yeah [I am]," she said. "I was in the studio recording for a couple of days andjust started having breakouts. And my doctor said you're allergic to
shellfish or makeup bronzer."
Her doctor diagnosed her with Urticaria, which she says has since gone away.

On Tuesday night, Young Jeezy and his Mob Squad lit up Madison Square Garden during the Blueprint 3 Tour stop.
"It's not a rap concert; it's a show," Jeezy said just hours before the performance. "Me and Jay sat down and talked about it. That was the whole thing: 'Let's give them a concert, not just a rap show.' It's been working out that way. From start to finish, it's a whole show. Trey [Songz], me, Jay — from start to finish, it flows. It's kinda crazy, 'cause we got the same type of fans. It's not awkward. You could be on tour with somebody, you see Jeezy and Black Eyed Peas, it's like, 'What the hell?' "

Last month, a new track called "Body Bags," featuring Cypress Hill frontman B-Real, Xzibit and rising rapper Young De hit the web. The collaboration wasn't just for one of the MCs' project, it is part of a group effort between the trio called the Serial Killaz.
We caught up with Young De on the set of Xzibit's new music video, "Hurt Locker," recently where he revealed the group's formation.
He said the three joined forces after a chance meeting in the studio, where they began creating new music and couldn't deny their chemistry.
"The way that it actually came together was I had met Xzibit in the studio. I walked into the studio and there's Xzibit, and I got introduced to him," Young De explained to BallerStatus.com. "He's like 'Hey, you're Young De, who's on B-Real's 'Don't Ya Dare Laugh,' ' (the first single off B-Real solo debut, Smoke N Mirrors). He's like 'I love that song. I need to get your on something.' So, we started working from there, and we just really clicked up ... mentally, like on the same page, work ethic-wise.
"And, I've been working with B-Real the last two years. That's the person who's showed me a lot about this game so far. So, we started by [Xzibit] hopping on one of the songs, because me and B-Real were working on an album together. It came from that," he added.
The Serial Killaz album is nearly complete, says De. However, you won't be hearing too much from it just yet. Because members Xzibit and B-Real have their own projects in the works -- X's next solo album, MMX, set to drop sometime this year; and B-Real is gearing up for a new Cypress Hill album, set for April.
Further details, including the project's title, guests, producers, etc. are unknown at press time.
Young De did say to expect a "themed album" though, before declining to give more details. He did express is excitement though, saying once the two hip-hop vets came to him with the idea, he jumped at the opportunity.
"Number one, I feel very blessed to be even ... when B-Real and Xzibit come to you and go 'Hey we're gonna do a group together' ... you go like 'Hell ya! (laughs) Where do you want me to stand?'" the rapper said. "It was like an organic thing."
Until more Serial Killaz music leaks, you can expect to hear more songs and music videos from X's upcoming MMX album. Xzibit told us that he'll be leaking both visuals and tracks leading up to the album's release, which hadn't been announced at press time.
Cypress Hill, on the other hand, are set to drop their first new group album since 2004's Till Death Do Us Part. Their new album, titled Rise Up, is set for release April 20 (4/20), of course. You can download their first single, "It Ain't Nothin'," at their official website CypressHill.com.

East Hampton Town Police have arrested a Florida woman for trespassing on an East Hampton property she apparently believed belonged to the rapper Sean Combs.
Police arrested Cemelia Green, 35, of Jacksonville on February 22 and charged her with criminal mischief in the second degree and criminal trespass in the second degree, both misdemeanors. The arrest took place at a house on Bianco Road about a week after police were called to the location for another incident involving Ms. Green. Mr. Combs owns a house on Hedges Banks Road.
On February 12, police were informed that a woman had been into headquarters requesting the location of Mr. Combs’s residence. Police were then called to the house on Bianco Road by a maintenance worker and found Ms. Green, who, police said, had told the worker that she was married to Mr. Combs and owned the property. Police said they approached Ms. Green and she left without incident.
But on February 22, while on routine patrol, officers found Ms. Green walking behind the house, and when they approached her she got into her car and locked the doors. Police said they canvassed the area and found that a sliding glass door had been broken recently. The officer was able to talk Ms. Green out of the car, police said, and she was arrested and taken to headquarters. Bail was set at $5,000 and Ms. Green’s vehicle was impounded.
