Carefully selected keys introduce the piece. From this shining beginning the groove gradually builds up. Upon the inclusion of the vocals into the mix things truly get started. Letting the entirety of the piece seemingly float on by the entire track at times recalls the Neo Funk of groups like Jamiroquai. Similarly, the clear-eyed determination of the track to simply gravitate towards a sense of togetherness. Going for a careful yet thoughtful buildup the way that the track peaks in a way that feels so perfect. For the final stretch of the piece ESP Evolution lets it all hang loose, allowing for an ever-growing sense of pure happiness.

Accomplished hip-hop producer and founding member of Cypress Hill, DJ Muggs has announced the details for his new collaborative album with Rochester spitter Eto entitled "Hell's Roof". The news of the new album comes accompanied by a slick new visual for the track "Holy Wine" online. The duo's new album will drop across all digital platforms on March 1st, 2019 via Soul Assassins Records and is now available for pre-order in vinyl, cassette, a deluxe edition CD online at wwwSoulassassins.com.

"I had just finished the 'Kaos' album and wanted to work with someone new, and relatively unknown. I was talking to Meyhem Lauren one day and asked him if he knew any dope MCs. And he said he knows this kid from Rochester, New York named Eto and he’s dope. So I sent him a track for the 'DIA DEL ASESINATO' album and he destroyed it," remembers DJ Muggs. "So after that we started doing a new song here and there. I asked ETO if he had an idea for an album title and he said 'Hells Roof', which is a name they call his home turf. When he said it I immediately knew that's it."

"Hell's Roof is a name we call Rochester, because it's our stomping ground, and the dark sound that Muggs provides is the perfect backdrop," says ETO.

"HELLS ROOF" is a 12-song album that paints a dark picture using haunting samples and dense drums, and introspective rhymes that tell a dark story about the life in a city that ranks among the poorest in the entire country. According to a census poll, 33% of Rochester’s residents currently live in poverty and a staggering 50% of children live below the poverty line, which ranks inside the Top 10 for worst in the entire country. With poverty reaching epidemic levels, residents turn to life on the streets as a solution and the city of Rochester's violent crime rate is 151% higher than in comparison to the New York average per capita. The combination of the legendary West Coast producer and the young fiery spitter with roughneck verses creates a powerful sound on “HELLS ROOF”.

A limited-edition vinyl version of "HELLS ROOF" vinyl will be released via Rappcats with unique packaging that is limited to just 150 units.

The album follows the recent releases of Cypress Hill's Elephants On Acid album produced entirely by Muggs, his collaborative effort "KAOS" with Brooklyn's finest Roc Marciano, and DJ Muggs' acclaimed solo LP "Dia Del Asesinato".

The tracklisting for DJ Muggs x ETO "HELLS ROOF" album is as follows:

1. Crack Wars
2. Dominate
3. Holy Wine
4. Roses (feat. Roc Marci)

Report via CNN -- Prosecutors investigating R. Kelly are looking into a newly surfaced video featuring the R&B superstar, lawyer Michael Avenatti told CNN.

CNN has seen the VHS tape that appears to show Kelly having sex with a girl who refers to her body parts as 14 years old. Avenatti, who is representing a man he calls a whistleblower against Kelly, says he handed the tape to the Cook County State's Attorney's Office in Chicago last weekend.

"My client knows the identity of the girl and R. Kelly. He identified the two of them on the videotape. He worked for and has known R. Kelly for decades and he met the girl on a number of occasions," Avenatti said.

On Thursday, Avenatti tweeted out a statement describing the tape.
Steve Greenberg, Kelly's attorney, told CNN he had not heard of the development.
"We are unaware of any new information involving Mr. Kelly," he told CNN. "We have not been contacted by anyone. We have not been informed about any new information by anyone and we have not been contacted by law enforcement."

Tandra R. Simonton, chief communications officer for the State's Attorney's Office said: "We cannot confirm or deny an investigation."

The newly unearthed footage, which lasts 42 minutes and 45 seconds, is clear and explicit.
There are two scenes on the video: one apparently in a living room and another in a bedroom. A naked man who appears to be R. Kelly is seen performing multiple sex acts with the girl. She is heard calling him "daddy" multiple times.

It is impossible to know her age just from the video. They both refer to her "14-year-old p***y." Six times the girl refers to her genitalia as 14 years old.

At one point, the man asks the girl to urinate. After she does, he urinates on her.
What is on the video mirrors some of the alleged acts for which Kelly was arrested for child pornography in 2002, when he was 35, and then acquitted six years later.

That case centered on another video involving a man having sex with a girl who prosecutors said was as young as 13 years old, media reports said.

Much was made at the trial about the identity of the man on the tape and whether an identifying mole on Kelly was visible on that video.

In the new video reviewed by CNN, a small mole can be seen on the man's back just to the left of his spine.

Kelly has been associated with claims of sexual misconduct with minors and other crimes for more than two decades. He has been sued by multiple women accusing him of having sex with them when they were underage. He has denied the accusations and all cases, with the exception of the trial where he was acquitted, have been settled out of court.

And while he is one of the most successful R&B acts in history, there has been a growing movement against him.

Music industry colleagues and former fans backed a #MuteRKelly campaign to stop his music being played.

In July 2017, Buzzfeed published an explosive article outlining claims that Kelly was holding a group of adult women against their will as part of what some of their parents say was a "cult."
A group of people cited in the article claimed that their daughters, ages 18 to 31, were a part of an entourage of at least six women attached to Kelly.

Joycelyn Savage, one of the young women, denied those claims and asked her parents, via a video shared with TMZ, to stop speaking out about her relationship with Kelly.

In January 2019, the release of a docuseries called "Surviving R. Kelly" on Lifetime television helped boost the public campaign against him.

In that series women said they were kept in abusive sexual relationships.
After the series aired, Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx urged potential victims or witnesses to speak to police.

At the same time, Kelly's attorney, Greenberg, told CNN that his client "has done nothing wrong ... Someone with an agenda has done a hit piece," Greenberg said of the docuseries. "(Kelly's) out in public. He's not hiding. There's no secret compound with sex slaves."

CNN's Lisa Respers France contributed to this story.

On December 31, 2018, around 4:40 a.m., Van Nuys Area police officers responded to the 13600 block of Vanowen Street for a radio call of a screaming woman. Officers went to the apartment which was given to them in the radio call. Rony Parras-Mendez, eighteen years old, came to the door of the apartment armed with a large kitchen knife. Parras-Mendez was given commands, which he did not follow, and quickly moved toward one of the officers; at that time, there was an officer-involved shooting. Parras-Mendez was struck by gunfire and determined deceased at the location by Los Angeles Fire Department personnel. Prior to the arrival of the officers, Parras-Mendez had physically assaulted an adult male who lives at the apartment complex. The male was transported to a local hospital where he received medical treatment. No officers were injured during the incident. A knife, approximately 9 inches in length, was located at the scene and booked as evidence by investigators.

LAPD's specialized Force Investigation Division responded to the scene and began interviewing witnesses and collecting forensic evidence. Representatives from the Office of the Inspector General and Los Angeles County District Attorney's Justice System Integrity Division responded and monitored the investigation. The complete investigation will be reviewed by the Chief of Police and the Board of Police Commissioners and the Office of the Inspector General to determine the thoroughness and accuracy of the investigation and whether the use of deadly force complied with the LAPD's policies and procedures. Additionally, representatives from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office who responded to the scene will review the subsequent FID investigation; evidence collected and witness statements to determine if the force used by the officer(s) violated any criminal laws.
