Black Soprano Family (BSF) artist and Trust Nobody Music Group CEO, Streets Soprano, continues the heavy promotion of his "Well Alright 1.5" album by releasing an official music video for "Black Sheep," featuring his artists Ivan Da Great and Heckler.
Young Thug's RICO trial is about to get started -- during which prosecutors will present evidence backing their case & controversially, that will include some of his lyrics.
Opening arguments are scheduled to kick off Monday in Fulton County, where YT is facing serious charges ... including conspiracy, participating in criminal street gang activity, possession of a firearm & controlled substances charges, among others.
He's pleaded not guilty -- with his defense attorney insisting his name will be cleared through the proceedings.
Thug is just one of several individuals who've been charged in the sweeping case -- but he's a key defendant, as the feds allege he's one of the head honchos of YSL (Young Slime Life) ... which they claim is not only a music label/brand, but a violent criminal enterprise too.
The allegations against Thug and the other 27 co-defendants date back to 2015 & some defendants -- not Thug -- are facing murder, attempted murder and armed robbery charges. Even more alarming is the fact prosecutors are expected to cite specific lyrics YSL members have rapped to help build the case against them.
Songs prosecutors are looking at have been revealed. They include Young Thug's 2018 hit, "Anybody," plus tracks from YSL's 2020 compilation album like ... "Take it to Trial," "Ski" & "Slatty."
While Thug is about to have his day in court ... one of his cohorts & fellow labelmates, Gunna, already accepted a plea deal that saw him released from custody.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene used a Dr. Dre song to tout her political prowess -- but she didn't have the green light for it ... according to Dre himself.
The Georgia lawmaker posted a highly-produced clip to her social feeds showing her strutting her stuff through the halls of Congress, apparently flexing the fact that she helped get Rep. Kevin McCarthy elected as House Speaker ... after an excruciating process.
In the video, you see her walking around & feeling herself -- even taking a call from "DT" at one point & all throughout ... DD's "Still D.R.E." beat is playing in the background.
The fact she even knows the song took some by surprise, let alone her feeling free to drop it into her GOP-fueled vid. You can count Dr. Dre as one of those shocked to hear his work being used by MTG ... because he tells TMZ he never gave the okay for this to happen.
The mega-producer tells us ... "I don’t license my music to politicians, especially someone as divisive & hateful as this one." So, yeah ... he ain't a fan of her collab here in the slightest.
No word on whether he plans to do anything about it, or if he's just gonna let it be. Fact is ... Republican politicians have long used popular songs for their political purposes for years now, starting with the head honcho himself -- Donald Trump -- who does it often at rallies.
Countless artists have told us they don't condone it, and some have even demanded he stop -- but Trump has continued on anyway ... often without any real repercussions of note.
We'll see if Rep. Greene follows his lead & does the same with Dre.

Lee's older sister, MMA fighter Angela, broke the sad news via Instagram on Saturday ... saying Victoria died on Dec. 26.
"She has gone too soon & our family has been completely devastated since then," Angela said in the caption.

An Ecuadoran journalist has now legally changed his gender from male to female so that he can attempt to secure full custody of his 2 young daughters.
René Salinas Ramos, 47, legally changed his gender identification to female to circumvent a legal system which, he claimed, unfairly favors the mother in custody cases.
"Being a father in this country, Ecuador, is punished & I’m only seen as a provider," Ramos stated.
Ramos claimed that he and his ex-wife, whose name has not been reported, are in the midst of a contentious custody battle for their 2 girls. Ramos hinted that his ex is physically abusive to the children. He also claimed that he had not seen either girl in at least 5 months & may not have seen his elder daughter in a year & a half.
While Ramos called the move "great proof of love" for his daughters, some of his fellow countrymen have denounced Ramos for violating what they call "the spirit" of the Gender Identity Law.
The law, according to a statement from the Ecuadorian Federation of LGBTI Organizations, was designed to "protect the common good of a historically discriminated population," namely, "transgender & transsexual people."
But despite complaints from activists, Ramos insisted he would not relent in his pursuit of his children.
"Now that I am a woman, I can be a mother," he said, "and I am on equal footing to fight for the parental authority of my daughters."
The 2023 takeover of Eto's Front Row Regale/New Crack Era imprint begins now. Charlie Mac is taking no prisoners as he dumps audio heroin on your block in the form of this new banger titled "Real Niggas Don't Die."
Former porn star Ron Jeremy has "severe dementia" and will be declared unfit to stand trial for rape.
Jeremy, who has appeared in more than 1700 X-rated films since the 1970s, was ordered to undergo psychiatric exams ahead of a trial on multiple sex charges against 21 women & girls.
Mental health experts for both prosecution & defense have found he is mentally incapacitated, with little chance of recovery.
"As a result of the agreement of the experts, the defendant will be declared incompetent to stand trial... his prognosis for improvement is not good," Los Angeles County deputy district attorney Paul Thompson wrote.
"If he does not improve, we will not be able to try him for his crimes. Because criminal proceedings are suspended as long as he is incompetent, we also cannot get a guilty plea from him or discuss other measures to get justice for the victims in this case."
Jeremy was initially charged in January 2020, & prosecutors subsequently added a battery of other sex-related complaints against him, alleging criminality over several decades of his prolific career.
Jeremy has previously denied all charges against him.
A declaration of mental incompetency is not set in stone, and if a defendant's health improves through medication or treatment, they can face trial at a later date.
However, dementia is a progressive illness & sufferers generally degenerate over time.

CNN — A 6-year-old boy is in police custody after he shot a teacher at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia, Friday afternoon, according to Newport News Police Chief Steve Drew.
“The individual is a 6-year-old student. He is right now in police custody,” Drew said. “We have been in contact with our commonwealth attorney and some other entities to help us best get services to this young man.”
During a news conference Friday evening, Drew said the female teacher – who is in her 30s – was shot inside a classroom & added that “this was not an accidental shooting.”
Drew says there was an altercation between the teacher & the student before a single round was fired.
The teacher’s injuries are considered life-threatening at this time. Earlier Friday, Drew said the teacher was in critical condition.
A man who allegedly raped his 14-year-old daughter was taken into custody Tuesday night by Detroit police. When officers first found him, it was abundantly clear that friends & neighbors had administered some preemptive justice.
The alleged child rapist had reportedly been chased around a neighborhood before the victim's relatives finally caught up with him.
In graphic footage obtained by 7 Mile Radio News, persons purportedly related to the victim can be seen castigating him for allegedly raping his own daughter while waiting for police & paramedics to arrive. The suspect is visibly busted up, kneeling naked in a pool of his own blood.
Carmen Witherspoon, a nearby resident, opened her front door to see the alleged rapist surrounded by the victim's incensed relatives. "They beat him over there real good."
Another witness said the suspected child rapist "was bloody, nothing but blood, there was a puddle on the ground."
It is rumored the relatives turned vigilantes "stomped his top lip off" & left him "with his left eye hanging out of his head."
One onlooker remarked in the video, as if in disbelief, "Y'all touched your motherf***ing kids."
"I hope you get everything that you deserve," one woman cried out as what remained of the alleged rapist was carted away by paramedics.
Detroit Police Capt. Rebecca McKay called the sexual assault "absolutely tragic. ... It's going to definitely take time to heal."
McKay said that sexual assault "occurs at all ages. I would just ask the parents, teachers, advisers, administrators, friends & family, just always keep your eyes open. Listen, if you see something — say something."
