Jay-Z Announces “Made In America” Music Festival In Philadelphia PA

When news broke that Jay-Z had a big announcement to make with Philly mayor Michael Nutter the initial thought was that maybe it was peace negotiations between Jigga and Philadelphia native Beanie Siegel.  However, instead of it being something of that nature it came down to being something totally different.

Dubbed Budweiser Made In America Music Festival Jay-Z along with Mayor Michael Nutter and event organizers stood in front of  the Philadelphia Art Museum today and ann0unced to the city that a two-day music festival sponsored by Budweiser will take place on September 1st and 2nd at Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Fairmount Park.

The festival will feature over 30 acts on three stages.  The acts will include rap, rock, R&B, Latin and dance performers “that embody the American spirit.” Jay-Z said that about 70 percent of the acts have been confirmed.

In the video above you’ll notice Freeway chilling off to the side with his arms folded and almost seeming to be fuming or upset.  It looks as if Jay-Z and Freeway are beefing or something, but it’s not the case.  Let’s shut those rumors down now,

Lil Boosie Gets A “Not Guilty” Verdict For Murder Case

The jury is in and the verdict is NOT GUILTY!  The 12 person jury took less than an hour to deliberate and bring back a verdict of “not guilty”.  Torence Lil Boosie Hatch is a free man!  Well, not necessarily he still has to sit in prison to serve his 8 year sentence for unrelated drug charges, but the murder case that could have had Boosie in jail for life is now a thing of the past and he can move on with life feeling refreshed.

Lil Boosie attorney Jason Williams said, “The quick verdict showed that they should never have charged him.  We didn’t call a single witness because every single witness they called, even the police officers, did not say anything connecting Torence to this.”

Congratulations Boosie!  I’m sorry for the victim’s family, but maybe now they can focus their investigation on another suspect.  The victim sister is also Boosie’s baby mother.

G-Dep Sentenced To 15 Years To Life For 1993 Murder Case

Back in 2010 ex-Bad Boy rapper G-Dep walked into a NYPD 25th Precint and confessed to a 17 year old murder in Harlem.   He has since retracted his confession, but it was a little too late as prosecution already built a case against G-Dep, whose real name is Trevell Coleman.

Early yesterday morning G-Dep sat in a New York courtroom where he was sentenced to 15 years to life on second degree murder charges.  After the court proceedings he spoke to MTV and said,

“However it went down, it was just one of them things where I knew I was facing some type of charge, so whatever the verdict was, I knew it was God’s will. You know, someone was taken from [the Henkel] family, so I can’t feel like I was robbed in any kind of way, I just want to thank everyone that was involved in the case”
