Jay-Z's Rocawear filed a lawsuit against a Redondo Beach, CA store for selling counterfeit jewelry featuring the popular logo of the Rocawear brand. The lawsuit, which was filed yesterday (Apr. 25) in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, seeks to ban the company My Treasures in the South Bay Galleria from selling the illegal jewelry. Rocawear was founded in 1999 by Jay-Z and Damon Dash. In Mar., Jay-Z sold Rocawear to the Iconix Brand Group for $204 million in cash.
Rapper Kurupt has teamed with producer J. Wells to release a new album titled Digital Smoke. The album pays homage to Los Angeles, and features appearances by Goodie Mob, Kokane, James DeBarge, Tha Alkaholiks and Kurupt's fiancée, Gail Gotti. “This is a different flavor,” Kurupt said. “This is along the lines of what J. Wells is doing and we’re letting people know that this generation of West Coast is coming with that fire.” The album's first single recently became available on iTunes and an accompanying video will premiere in May. Digital Smoke hits stores June 5. on Bonzi Records/Fontana Distribution.
DJ Amaze recently inked a deal with AV8 Records and recently released "Get It Up," a new party break record featuring original mixes by Amaze. The release comes as AV8 introduces a new strategy to develop artists over longer periods of time and introduce new musical divisions that explore reggae, dancehall, R&B and pop. The vinyl version also features new breaks by DJ Amaze titled "Let Me Do My Dance," and "Cute Girl" featuring R&B singer D. Goode. For more information visit djamaze.com.
