Queens rapper N.O.R.E. is working to complete his latest rap album, which he plans to release late this summer.

According to Billboard, NORE’s upcoming project Global Warming 11368 will be released independently. [At press time there is no word on what label]. For longtime fans, Global Warming will mark a return to more familiar territory and a departure from reggaeton, which the half black, half Puerto Rican rapper explored heavily on last year’s N.O.R.E. y la Familia… Ya Tú Sabe.

One person was injured and nine others arrested after gunfire erupted outside a Young Buck party at a Kennewick, Washington hotel on Saturday (April 28).

According to The Tri-City Herald, following a performance by Buck at the nearby Club Paradise, the aforementioned after party began at the Hilton Garden Inn and a fight broke out in the parking lot. During the melee, authorities claim six shots were fired by at least two weapons, with one bullet passing through the leg of a Las Vegas man identified as Robert Osound.

Only a year after dropping his debut CD Listennn: The Album Terror Squad rep DJ Khaled is back with a brand new collection of joints entitled We The Best. The self-proclaimed "Beat Novacaine" recently caught up to talk about his new album and why he’s the best DJ out.

Set for a June 12 release date, We The Best is jam packed with an all-star line-up of guest appearances including Lil’ Wayne, Young Jeezy, T.I., Akon, Juelz Santana, Trick Daddy, Fat Joe, The Game, Rick Ross and Jadakiss, among others.
