Cool Running’s DJs very own, DJ Ms. Hypnotique, Palm Tree Entertainment, SODMG and Team SCM affiliate, made her live DJ debut on Wild’ N Out.
This mixtress not only wow’d the audience with her inner and outer beauty, but she did a great DJ set while Soulja Boy, the hottest rapper in the game, performed live. We got some insight from her to see what the experience was like.
“Aside from all the hype and the crazy energy, being at the live taping of the hip-hop improv show “Wild ‘N Out” isn’t much different from watching the show itself. I got a chance to be on set with some amazing, truly funny people. My favorite part, of course, was when I actually got to DJ, and the guest that I DJ’d for was none other than my brother, Soulja Boy @souljaboy.
Wild ’N Out is exactly just that… Wild! If you’ve ever seen the show, you know it’s hilarious and when you add that Soulja spin on it, it’s even more amazing since it was him who “started” this wave. There wasn’t a seat within the circular set that was free from the view of cameras and the audience was rarely quiet. The cast was outstanding and even funnier in person. Even when the show wasn’t filming, laughter and cheers filled the room as the cast poked fun at the audience and encouraged dance competitions.
I got the chance to meet Nick Cannon in person and was shocked that he was more down-to-earth than I thought he would be since a lot of celebrities act one way with the fans and act another way on television. He was very humble and welcoming and didn’t mind taking pictures with the guests. What was most interesting is that he was surprised to see a female DJ on the set behind the turntables. Once I started, he looked to the DJ booth and had to do a double take and wore an amusingly shocked expression on his face as he pointed toward the booth. THAT was THE BEST moment for me. I was proud of all the work that had been done to get me to that point and very proud of my team: my manager Jay Shields, CEO and Team SCM, my PTE family and all those who have helped me along the way.
I enjoyed every moment of this experience and didn’t want to leave and it is a part of my career that I’ll never forget. Fortunately for you, you’ll get a chance to see some pics and videos this week starting with the debate of Season 13 and an all new episode!

BTF aka BEHINDTHEFRAMES was born in New York and raised in Florida.
During his earlier years, he fell in love with Rap. With a strong sense of self and pride, his presence gives a statement that you don't have to pretend to be something you're not to be a Rapper. Giving full respect and appreciation to all legends, for his storytelling flow is influenced from a wide range of Rap/HipHop classics; BTF strives to honor the genre by maintaining the genuine essence of it. In hopes of earning the respect from not only the game, but the artists of generations before. Being a private school student, he was surrounded by doubt; even within himself he began to question "How can I make this happen?". He was well aware of the obvious factors that were going to be against him. Studying the art form, he began to gain the drive to prove himself. Throughout high school he released tracks that started getting attention as he paved his own way. Looking up to other
Rappers, BTF saw what being a transcending
artist required. Keeping it honest while inspiring others to chase their dreams no matter the odds, he began to work. After recording at UBP Studios in Plantation, FL and releasing two mixtapes (BTF & BTF2), he started working under Ramont Green of Royalty & Respect management. In December of 2016, BTF earned Indie Artist Of The Week on HipHopzilla.com for his song "Gettin To It".
In this clip, Mob James reflects on what it was like to be an employee for Death Row, saying that because of the penitentiary mindset most employees were afraid to go to work. He remembers that you never knew if someone was going to get jumped when they walked through the door, while conceding that he didn't agree with those methods of business. From there, he speaks on being Snoop's bodyguard during his 1996 murder trial.
In this clip, Luenell talked about the Michael Jackson documentary and said that it's not something she's looking forward to watching. Luenell also called out accusers and told them to stop waiting 30-40 years to come forward with their stories. Her and Vlad also talked about whether they'd leave their children with Michael Jackson without them present.
In this clip, Yukmouth breaks down his falling out and reconciliation with Numskull, following the start of his solo career with Rap-A-Lot records. Years later, however, Luniz reunited and released their third album on the Rap-A-Lot label in the early 2000s. From there, the conversation shifts to the respect that J. Prince holds in the industry, as Yukmouth explains how the music mogul earned his reputation.
Zak (TopFloor Zak) Songwriter / artist Is from Albany ,Ga where he began rapping and writing at the age of 15. The artist got his start working mix radio show appearances and showcases. Coming up in a poverty stricken area gives u ambition to rise above it all and my only dream was to live out my passion. Zak currently reside in Atlanta, Ga running my own imprint and serving my purpose as a songwriter. Working alongside producer Jamezz Bonn as a kid helped me tremendously. It was like perfection when I worked with Jamezz Bonn. Zak credit his growth and understanding of the business to Jamezz Bonn. Building our own platform and lane was our main goal and we are still actively working towards that today. The soulful and honest lines of my music come from experiences and struggle. We try and stick to what we know and that’s real music with a purpose.
Marcoof500 is an emerging hip-hop and music industry entrepreneur on a steady grind to the top from the underground rap world. His first album ‘The Travels of Marco’ launched him onto the airwaves in 2018, with a number of singles from the release, most notably fan-favourite ‘Take Me Away’. Gaining the rapper a steady cult following online, put him in good stead for future releases. Influenced by artists like Lil JoJo, Tay Sav and PBG, his sound is fresh and innovative.

His second release ‘Kitchen Chronicles’ landed in August 2018, shortly after his debut, again just more evidence of Marco’s fierce work ethic. Unlike his first album, the four-track EP takes a more story-telling, lyrical approach, whilst still maintaining an energy ‘hype’ aesthetic to the sparkly, high-octane production. From the swaggy turn-up hooks on bangers like ‘Honchson’, to the feel-good, smooth narrative-fueled bars of stand-out tracks like ‘Crocs and a Towel’. Nearly every track Marco writes is banger-material, or at the very least, catchy as hell.
His current project ‘Marco the Merchant’, is already in the works and due to be released soon. As suggested in the title Marco the Merchant will be a more personal release, expressing Marco’s own personal journey and struggle since deciding to be an entrepreneur. Being a true self-starter who came from nothing and constantly striving for more success in order to feed his family.

ATLANTA (AP) — Grammy-nominated rapper 21 Savage was taken into federal immigration custody early Sunday, authorities said.
The artist, whose given name is Sha Yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, was arrested in a targeted operation in the Atlanta area involving local and federal law enforcement officers, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Bryan Cox said in an emailed statement. Abraham-Joseph is a British citizen who overstayed his visa and is also has a felony conviction, Cox said.
“We are working diligently to get Mr. Abraham-Joseph out of detention while we work with the authorities to clear up any misunderstandings,” lawyer Dina LaPolt said without elaborating.
Abraham-Joseph is a role model to young people in the U.S., especially in Atlanta, LaPolt said.
Abraham-Joseph is nominated for two awards at next week’s Grammys, including record of the year for “Rockstar” alongside Post Malone. His second solo album “I Am I Was,” released in December, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
Abraham-Joseph entered the U.S. legally in July 2005, but has been present in the country illegally since his visa expired in July 2006, Cox said. He was convicted on felony drug charges in October 2014 in Fulton County, Cox said.
He has been placed in deportation proceedings in federal immigration court, Cox said.
LeBron James apologized in December for posting one of Abraham-Joseph’s lyrics that referenced “Jewish money.” The basketball star apologized on ESPN, saying he got caught up in the music and thought the lyric was a “compliment.”
The rapper later tweeted his own apology for the lyric from the song “ASMR,” which says, “We been getting that Jewish money, Everything is Kosher.”
