Sean Price Returns with Posthumous "John Gotti" Feat. A.G. Da Coroner, Guilty Simpson & Your Old Droog from Small Professor-produced '86 Witness (Coalmine/Duck Down Records)

While Port Arthur, Texas emcees Bun B & Pimp C were commonly referred to as Underground Kingz (U.G.K.) I would strongly attest that Broownsville emcee Sean Price AKA Sean P! AKA Ruckus/Ruck from Heltah Skeltah was, indeed, and "Underground" King in his own right. Sean P, unfortunately, only spent 43 years on this Green Earth, although, he had been rapping since 1995 after his crew, Boot Camp Clik, appeared on Smif-N-Wessun's Wreck Records debut, Dah Shinin'. Honestly, my earliest personal memories of Sean P! date back to my 12 years spent stocking shelves at Shop Rite; sometimes, at night, I used to help my buddy, Jared Jenkins, stock the bread shelves and he was always bumpin' and big uppin' Sean Price. I guess, what really stuck with me first, aside from his relentless rhymes, was Sean's tendency to take his name and blatantly insert it into common Pop culture phenoms, movie titles, etc. which was a great promotional tool in the pre-Internet Boom early 2000's. For example, some of Sean Price's earliest solo release titles included: Jesus Price Supastar, Master P, Donkey Sean, Jr. Kimbo Price, and Mic Tyson. Nearly all of the aforementioned projects were released on Duck/Ruck Down Records, who often released zany promotion videos for Sean Price's albums, which featured him starring in half-witted scenarios and ill-planned pranks such as Sean Price as "Seanwuar" vs. Pharoahe Monch, How Sean Price Stole Christmas, "The Joy of Painting with Sean Ross," Pawn Star's Chumlee vs. Sean Price's Potato, as well as countless other side-splitting skits.

Just yesterday afternoon, Duck Down Music & Coalmine Records announced a new posthumous Sean Price album entitled '86 Witness arriving Friday, February 8, 2019. It's, in fact, the third posthumous Sean P! full-length after 2015's phenomenally-titled Songs In The Key of Price and 2017's Imperius Rex. '86 Witness will be fully produced by Philly-based beat-maker and producer Small Professor, who additionally produced an extremely sought-after Record Store Day 2017 10-inch entitled "Refrigerator P." Smalls, actually, produced a remix of "Murdah Type Thinkin'" from Sean Price & M-Phazes' Land of The Crooks (2013-14) released on Coalmine Records, which would, ultimately, end up being Sean P's last release during his lifetime. Along with the announcement of '86 Witness, Complex's esteemed scribe Shawn Serato presented a premiere of the first proper "leak" from '86 Witness with "John Gotti" featuring an amazing line-up of A.G. Da Coroner, Guilty Simpson & Your Old Droog. It appears as though '86 Witness has been "several" years in-the-making and although, Smalls & Sean P! never met face-to-face, had been planning to collaborate prior to his untimely passing in August of 2015. "Lyrically, P pays homage to the year 1986 with clever bars boasting slick, Pop culture-referencing wordplay. He big-ups The Bears' Super Bowl XX win on "Refrigerator P;" references Herbie Hancock's time-honored Round Midnight OST on "Midnight Rounds;" [and] shows love to Just-Ice's "Latoya" on the Quelle Chris-featured "Latoya Jackson," reads Coalmine Records' press statement. In addition to this "Murderers' Row" of emcees, '86 Witness will, also, boast features from DJ Revolution, ELUCID, Castle, Rockness Monstah of Heltah Skeltah, Quelle Chris, Illa Ghee, Rob Kelly, and Reef The Lost Cauze, Curly Castro & Zilla Rocca on a special Philly Blunt Remix of "John Gotti." Sean Price & Small Professor's '86 Witness is now available to pre-order from Coalmine/Duck Down Records.

[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

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
