M.O.P. Emcee & Producer Lil' Fame Readies Debut Solo Album Walk of Fame with Gritty i-Fresh-produced "Say Nothin'" (PR Dean Multi Media)

Lil' Fame is effectively, one half of infamous Brownville, Brooklyn-based Hip-Hop duo, M.O.P. (Mash Out Posse) along with partner-in-rhyme Billy Danze... but I believe, the first time I ever heard Fame was on "Make 'em NV" from J Dilla's Ruff Draft EP (2003) wherein he repeatedly rhymes: "THEM JEWELS YOU ROCK, MAKE 'EM NV!" However, Dilla himself actually, sampled Lil' Fame's voice from M.O.P.'s world-renown party-starting anthem, "Ante Up (Robbing-Hoodz Theory.)" Since their last collaborative release as M.O.P. 2015's Nature Sounds EP, Street Certified, Billy Danze & Lil' Fame have been focusing more on their solo efforts; Danze working on an album to either be titled simply The Billy Danze Project or Behind Gates, as well as a corresponding 8-track EP and Fame, actively working on his debut solo album, Walk of Fame—previously known as The Fame & The Glory. Over the years, Lil' Fame has produced a slew of outer-M.O.P. tracks for the likes of Wu-Tang Clan, AZ, Kool G Rap, Cormega, Masta Ace, Teflon, and Sadat X, as well as Fizzyology with emcee Termanology under his "Fizzy Womack" production alias.

Lil' Fame & Billy Danze did, however, recently appear together alongside Celph Titled on Apathy's February 2018 single, "Stomp Rappers." Less than a month ago, Billy Danze unleashed the first single from his long-rumored solo album, "Halle Berry" produced by G-Whiz. Now, Lil' Fame has re-surfaced with an equally neck-snapping Boom-Bap single of his own, "Say Nothin'" produced by i-Fresh. Fame's expectedly hard-as-nails single is accompanied by a gritty, no frills Mo Shines & Jay Parris-directed music video with cameos throughout from Billy Danze, Mobb Deep emcee Havoc, and Pharoahe Monch. While there are currently little to no additional details concerning either project, both Lil' Fame's Walk of Fame and Billy Danze's The Billy Danze Project/Behind Gates are expected to be released sometime throughout 2018; PR DEAN MULTI MEDIA firmly attests, "Lil' [Fame's] Walk of Fame Album Coming Soon!" There have been rumors of yet another DJ Premier-produced M.O.P. album ever since 2015, which is still rumored to drop this year, as well.

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra...

Liberty Bell Cracked In 1/2: Ween - "Freedom of '76" (Gene Ween's Final Send-Off)

Chocolate & Cheese (1994) was one of the first albums I bought with my own money. I was in some sort of BMG Music Club , where you'd buy 5 CD's and then get 10 for "FREE." It was all sent through mail order and you picked the titles from some special booklet. I'm almost positive that Chocolate & Cheese's side boob-baring album cover was what initially drew me in... mind you, I was 12-15 and the zany Ween logo/middle finger CD graphic really didn't hurt either. Honestly, I forget how I really felt about it @ the time, but a few years later, my older cousin Josh told me that Ween were this BIG college "jam band." CKY did some sort pf 93.3 radio takeover to promote their new album and played "Freedom of '76" late that night on air. Needless to say, I re-visited Chocolate & Cheese @ about 20-something this go 'round and I fucking loved it! Ween were really weird, yet talented... almost too talented. I can vaguel...
