Anthony Levone is back on the scene with a brand new release: See Me Coming
May 2020 - Anthony Levone is a rap artist with a unique creative vision. His music is direct and catchy, with a powerful flow to match the striking beats and catchy arrangements.
Anthony’s sound feels like a winning blend of old-school rap and more modern influences. His most recent release, See Me Coming, combines the best of those styles. It’s all about balance, and Anthony is a master at measuring the dynamics of his composition, creating a great compromise between quality songwriting, and appealing production vibes.
See Me Coming starts off with a melodic introduction, and it soon after dives deeper into a textural and edgy beat. The artist’s unique flow is one of the most distinctive elements within the mix, making the song quite special and one-of-a-kind. If you are a fan of artists as diverse as J. Cole, Kanye West, Joey Bada$$, or Kendrick Lamar you should definitely check this out! See Me Coming has got a West Coast vibe to it, but it also feels warm and punchy, like you would expect from an East Coast rap release!
Kodak Black was allegedly photographed by a U.S. Marshal -- without his permission -- the day he was arrested at Rolling Loud ... and now, his lawyer's ramping up for a lawsuit.
The Miami Dade Police Department took a report showing that Kodak's attorney, Bradford Cohen, recently filed a complaint with them alleging one of their men illegally snapped and disseminated a pic of KB while he was in custody back in 2019. According to the report, MDPD looked into it and discovered the pic was actually not disseminated by one of their own but perhaps by someone in the U.S. Marshals Service.
The docs -- obtained by TMZ -- outline the steps MDPD took to get to the bottom of Cohen's claims ... and during their back and forth, they discovered a Miami-Dade cop, who was with Kodak the day he was arrested, claimed he was called up and instructed by a high-ranking official -- a U.S. Marshal Chief, per the officer -- to snap a photo of Kodak while he was cuffed. The guy says he did so and sent it along to the USM who wanted it.
Cohen claims that same photo served no law enforcement purpose, but still found its way into the inbox of a local Miami reporter ... who then published it in a local paper. Cohen claims it was all done without Kodak's permission.
Now, the Miami-Dade sergeant, who took the photo and then passed it along to the Marshal, says the guy told him he needed it for "law enforcement purposes," but Cohen says that's a bunch of BS ... arguing the pic was taken for personal use and/or gain.
Now, Cohen tells us he's taking legal action against the responsible parties.
A rep for USMS tells us they can't comment on the situation, but assure us any allegations of misconduct will be thoroughly investigated.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – During a press conference, Pittsburgh Police Chief Scott Schubert expressed disappointment and anger toward those that turned Saturday afternoon’s protest from peaceful to violent.
“I can tell you as the police chief, I am very disappointed because this was a peaceful protest for something that was very serious, and this does nothing to honor the memory of somebody who died,” Chief Schubert said. “When you take it from a peaceful protest and you take it to a riot where you’re injuring people, you’re throwing rocks at people, you’re throwing cans at people, you’re hurting reporters, you’re taking over something that shouldn’t be.”
Both Chief Schubert and Pittsburgh Public Safety Director Wendell Hissrich expressed a belief that those responsible for taking the protest from peaceful to violent are not from the city.
“We believe a lot of these individuals that are creating trouble are not from the city,” Hissrich said.
“I am so angry at the fact that some segment hijacked this and then took some of the youth and brought them into the mix,” Schubert said. “This is something we take very seriously and we’ll do everything we can for the ones who did this and to find out who they are and to get them.”
Schubert also expressed the belief that those responsible were not there to protest the death of George Floyd, but just to create chaos and cause harm.
“I’m willing to bet my check that there’s a lot of people who are anarchists, who, they’re not here to protest what happened, they’re not here to protest what happened, they’re here to take advantage of situations and throw it their way and bring other people into the mix and cause damage and cause injury,” Cheif Schubert added. “There’s no doubt that that’s who’s doing it and a lot of things we’re seeing are white males, dressed in the anarchist, ANTIFA, they’re ones who are fueling a lot of this. It’s just a damn shame that they took advantage of the situation, for something, something happened in another state where somebody died who shouldn’t have died, and they hijacked that message for their own.”
Schubert promised Pittsburgh Police would find those responsible for hijacking the protests.
“We will look at every video that we have, and we will do everything we can with our technology to find the ones who are responsible for a lot of this,” he said.

Here's what one of the 3 cops should have done when George Floyd was losing his life.
It happened Saturday night in Seattle when a cop put his knee on a protester's neck, eerily similar to the way Derek Chauvin ended George's life. You see another cop forcibly remove the knee of his colleague ... such a simple act that is also a life-saving act.
This has been a big issue in policing ... when a bad cop crosses the line, can other officers who are present get the rouge cop back in line without suffering consequences back at the station?
This is an example of cops checking cops, and it may be one of the most graphic and useful lessons from this whole miserable ordeal ... that police don't have to wait for review boards and prosecutors to tell them how they should have acted ... they can do it before it becomes a tragedy.
Faith Evans has found herself in some legal trouble ... 'cause we've learned the singer was arrested after allegedly attacking Stevie J.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Faith was arrested earlier this week at around 1 AM after cops got called to their L.A.-area home. We're told Faith and Stevie got into a heated argument, and at some point, it turned violent.
Our sources say when cops showed up they noticed visible marks and scratches on Stevie's face. It's unclear what triggered the argument. But, in any event ... cops arrested Faith and booked her for felony domestic violence. Faith bonded out later that day.
The arrest comes nearly a year after the couple desperately tried to downplay rumors their marriage was in trouble. As we first reported ... there was palpable tension after our camera guy got the couple leaving the Essence Festival in New Orleans.
Our guy asked them if there's trouble in paradise after Faith and Stevie unfollowed each other on social media ... not to mention Stevie's cryptic string of tweets from, "Drunk people always speak their truth," and "Ones insecurities can damage them" to "All that glitters ain't gold" and "Cherish what you love just know nothing will last forever."
We've reached out to Faith and Stevie for comment, so far ... no word back.

A rogue vigilante started firing arrows at protesters in Utah this weekend -- and it cost him (and his car) dearly almost instantly.
The scene was filmed Saturday in Salt Lake City, where protests and riots are in full swing right now ... as they are in many other parts of the country. Apparently, a group of protesters had blocked off the road somewhere there in town, and one man had had enough.
A civilian brought a hunting bow to the #slcprotest and began shooting it at protesters.
He emerged from his vehicle with a hunting bow he had on him and supposedly starting brandishing it toward the crowd ... seemingly threatening to shoot arrows at people. One woman had a brief convo with the guy, asking if he's serious ... and if he considers himself American. He says he does, and then appears to start actually firing at some folks.
It looks like one person might've been hit as they fell to the ground, and when the man turned and tried shooting at some more people ... he got bum-rushed with a BUNCH of bodies, who proceeded to beat his ass and take him to the ground.
He was yelling and me, and then aimed his bow at a black man standing behind me. The black man saw it coming, charged, and tackled him.
The SLC police retreated and allowed rioters to light the man’s car on fire.
That's not where the story ends though for this sap -- according to the woman who shot this, SLC PD retreated and allowed protesters to light the guy's car on fire -- which was captured on video as well. According to her, the guy was taken into custody in the end.
In light of the current state of affairs in America following the alleged murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin, RJ Payne re-releases "Drums of War."
The Pa. Dre-produced song captures the frustration many African Americans are feeling as police seem to be able to kill us with impunity.
Derek Chauvin, accused murderer of George Floyd, has a camera focused on him round-the-clock, and cops check on his cell regularly -- all the hallmarks of a suicide watch.
A source at Ramsey County Jail in St. Paul, MN -- where Chauvin is detained -- tells TMZ, he was brought in late afternoon Friday, and didn't make eye contact with anyone upon his arrival ... before beginning the check-in process.
We're told Chauvin was put through an unclothed body search to look for any hidden contraband. Then, he put on a jail uniform and they led him off to a single cell in a special wing of the facility for high-profile cases.
For now, our source says Chauvin is in isolation and being watched constantly. There's a camera in his cell watching him 24/7, as well as guards monitoring the feed 24/7. On top of that, he's getting checked on in-person every 15 minutes.
While our source wouldn't use the term suicide watch to characterize Chauvin's circumstances -- other law enforcement sources tell us, yes, that's effectively what's happening at the jail.
That's not to say officers there believe Chauvin is suicidal, per se -- we're told the 15-minute checks are standard for that section of the jail ... but in the same breath, our sources say they want to make sure nothing happens to him while he's in custody.
Our source says Chauvin will be in his cell 23 hours a day -- with one hour of rec time in an enclosed area. He has access to books, pencils and paper -- not much else. He's also got a bed bolted to the floor with a pillow sewn to it.
We're told, as of Friday, the jail staff was unaware of any threats against Chauvin's life. He faces 3rd-degree murder and 2nd-degree manslaughter charges for kneeling on George's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds.
A spokesperson for the Ramsey County Jail declined to comment.

We have been following Harvey Finch Enterprise for a few years now. As an independent label, they have built a reputation of consistent releases, new artists always being introduced and professional music and marketing. The life that HFE and their artists have built from Hip Hop music is not far from that of more well known musicians. And on that front line for years has been recording artist HooNoz (who knows). Who has had a strong hand in not only a large portion of the projects released, but also behind the scenes and in the meeting rooms.
Yesterday HooNoz announced via his social media accounts that he had signed a new deal. Not much other detail was included. (See Below)
Just a short time later, the label's page shared the post while wishing HooNoz the best. And that aroused our curiosity. (See Below)
Did HooNoz just walk away from the label that he helped build and that helped build him? We didn't see the usual team hash tags or them speaking as if it was a joint win. We have all seen it before in hip hop. After a long journey, a parting of ways when one part finds a successful avenue. We don't know if this is what happened here,...but we will be bringing an update once we reach one. Stay Tuned In!
The wife of the Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd, has filed for divorce. According to her lawyer, Kellie Chauvin is distraught over Floyd's death.
"She is devastated by Mr. Floyd's death and her utmost sympathy lies with his family, with his loved ones and with everyone who is grieving this tragedy," the Sekula Law Offices, PLLC said in a statement on behalf of Kellie Chauvin and her family.
According to the statement, Kellie Chauvin has officially filed for divorce.
"While Ms. Chauvin has no children from her current marriage, she respectfully requests that her children, her elder parents, and her extended family be given safety and privacy during this difficult time," the statement added.
After being fired from his job, Derek Chauvin, 44, was arrested and charged Friday with third-degree murder and manslaughter. Earlier this week, a video went viral showing him with his knee on Floyd's neck for several minutes while other officers held him down.
In a criminal complaint filed Friday afternoon, prosecutors wrote that Chauvin "had his knee on Mr. Floyd's neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds. Two minutes and 53 seconds of this was after Mr. Floyd was "non-responsive."
In the video, Floyd can be heard begging for Chauvin to remove his knee, pleading, "I can't breathe."
If convicted of the state charges, Chauvin could face up to 25 years in prison on the third-degree murder charge and up to 10 years in prison on the second-degree manslaughter charge.
Chauvin's bail has been set at $500,000, according to the criminal complaint filed in the 4th Judicial District Court of Minnesota.
In this clip from People's Party, Talib Kweli and co-host Jasmin Leigh talk with screenwriter, director and producer Reginald Hudlin about how the genre of 'happy rap' is underrated, and just because it’s happy and positive doesn't mean it can't be art. “If you ’re really about money, make happy rap.”
Full episode arrives on Monday 6/1 at 9AMet/6AMpt.
