Yesterday, the Miami New Times printed a very unflattering article about multi-platinum super producer Scott Storch. If you didn’t know, Scott Storch has worked extensively with Dr. Dre and Timbaland and has created a variety of hits including “Still D.R.E.” by Dr. Dre, “Cry Me A River” by Justin Timberlake, “Baby Boy” by Beyonce, “Lean Back” for Fat Joe, “Candy Shop” for 50 Cent, “Lighters Up” by Lil Kim, etc. This article touches on Storch’s financial neglect of his parents, his origins as one of the founding members of the Roots, dating Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, Kim Kardashian, rapper Lil Kim, and porn star Heather Hunter, Storch’s outlandish spending habits (ex. $3 million 34 karat diamond yellow diamond pinky ring), his drug addiction, etc. Read it here.
Here’s the cover to Ice Cube’s forthcoming solo album, “I Am The West,” which is being released on July 13th via his own Lench Mob Records. He is working with west coast producers DJ Quik, E-A-Ski, Sir Jinx, and Dr. Dre. via hiphopdx.

Anyways, stay tuned for more.

New record from Young Dro called “Freeze Me.” It’s pretty hot… the beginning verse reminds me of classic Miami records by Trick Daddy, etc. Shout out to Dirt for the dope mix on the record.

The new single from Made Entertainment’s SL Jones called “Famous (To The Beat)” is currently heating up in the clubs/streets. The song was produced by Marvelous J and apparently won the past few nights on the Battlegrounds on Atlanta’s 107.9 . I’ve also included their song “I’m Str8” produced by Supa Ced. Shout out to SL Jones and Bravo.

The Elam family wishes to thank the fans of our son/brother/father uncle/nephew/cousin Keith aka GURU for the outpouring of love, concern and support.
Our hearts are broken by the loss of someone we loved so much. GURU was devoted to his young son, who will most keenly feel his absence.
GURU suffered from multiple myeloma for over a year. Accrued complications from this illness led to respiratory failure and cardiac arrest. As a result, GURU was in a coma from mid February until his death and never regained consciousness. Early on the morning of April 19th, he became hypertensive due to low blood pressure. He again went into cardiac arrest and slipped away from us.
GURU died far too young but he was, and we are, proud of all his many legendary musical contributions.
The family is not aware of any foundations established by GURU. We know and understand that countless fans want to express their condolences and love and, to that end, we are planning a memorial event in the near future that will be all-inclusive. Please look for further details from the family as they become available.
