Juvenile’s new video was filmed in New Orleans and is a reaction to the governments actions in dealing with the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The video, for the song “Get Ya Hustle On/What's Happenin” and which was directed by Ben Mor, is really kinda creepy. I mean really…If I saw three little kids running around [...]
Ozone Magazine got a very nasty phone call the other day from a pretty pissed off Benzino. Call Benzy up and wish him a Merry Christmas. He needs some holiday cheer. Thanks to iCON for the heads up.
First, I thought this was a joke. Who in the hell would skip over some of the best UK talent to give a bubble gum pop chick to the task of introducing UK grime to America? Apparently, Jay-Z: Jay-Z, much like 50 Cent, is focused on expanding his Def Jam brand and roster. The next [...]
