By: JP DelaCuesta (@JPdelacuesta)Category: MOBILE

(AllHipHop News) Earlier today (June 1) Rostrum Records, home of Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller, announced that Pittsburgh native Boaz had been officially added to the label’s roster. Boaz, who has been featured in a number of publications and outlets such as Complex, XXL and The Source, is also an alumni of AllHipHop.com’s Breeding Ground. “It wasn’t a decision that was very hard for me given their track record of developing talented learned musicians into great artists!” Boaz told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “I’ve known the folks over there for sometime and I think it is a good fit for both parties!” Benjy Grinberg, President of Rostrum Records, was excited about signing Boaz. “I’m very excited that Boaz is joining the Rostrum family,” Grinberg said. “I have been a big fan of Bo and his music for many years, and I’m looking forward to working with him in a more substantial way.” The plan is for Boaz to drop his first Rostrum project, Bases Loaded, at the beginning of the summer, followed his official debut later in the year. In addition to the signing announcement, Rostrum revealed that Boaz would be hitting the road with label mates Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller on their upcoming “Under the Influence Tour,” beginning on July 25th.

“Jason Bourne Was the Tip of the Iceberg”; Trailer For “The Bourne Legacy” Arrives

By: JP DelaCuesta (@JPdelacuesta)Category: Lifestyle

Jason Bourne is our version of James Bond. Plain and simple. The franchise, which kicked off in 2002 with Academy Award-nominated actor Matt Damon in the role of Bourne, has earned more than $1 billion dollars at the global box office. So when Damon and Paul Greengrass, who directed the franchise’s last entries, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, decided not to return, the folks at Universal Pictures put their money on Jeremy Renner, now more famously known to the world as Hawkeye from Marvel Studio’s blockbuster The Avengers. Renner is no stranger to action and espionage though as he’s previously starred in The Hurt Locker and one of 2011’s top money-makers, Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol. Check out the new trailer below followed by the official plot synopsis: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eUaZjppPm8&w=560&h=315] “The narrative architect behind the Bourne film series, Tony Gilroy, takes the helm in the next chapter of the hugely popular espionage franchise: The Bourne Legacy.  The writer/director expands the Bourne universe created by Robert Ludlum with an original story that introduces us to a new hero (Jeremy Renner) whose life-or-death stakes have been triggered by the events of the first three films. For The Bourne Legacy, Renner joins fellow series newcomers Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach and Oscar Isaac, while franchise veterans Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn and Scott Glenn reprise their roles.” The Bourne Legacy hits theaters on August 3.

Chuck D Offers Update On Public Enemy’s Two New Albums “Most Of My Heroes…” and “The Evil Empire of Everything”

By: JP DelaCuesta (@JPdelacuesta)Category: MOBILE

(AllHipHop News) Public Enemy will mark the 25th anniversary of their 1987 debut album, Yo! Bum Rush the Show, with the release of the group’s 13th and 14th studio albums, respectively titled Most of My Heroes Still Don’t Appear on No Stamp and The Evil Empire of Everything. Chuck D spoke on the group’s two new albums to Billboard: “They’re twins, fraternal twins – not identical, but they will talk to each other. The statement with these albums isn’t so much just within the content, but in the audacity of the release, just like, ‘What the hell? Two albums that bookend the summer? What the hell?!’ “But we know we’ve got a fan base that’s kind of acclimated and used to albums,” he continued, “because we were the first to come along and kind of bring a concept album to the hip-hop marketplace. So we oblige this year by doing not one, but two. “Maybe in the past one would’ve been an A side and the other a B side, or it would’ve been a long CD, but halfway into making it we decided to have two different aspects, one that dealt with the whole movement of people and the other that deals with the situation of everything coming at you at once, like a blizzard.” To date, features on the album are set to include Brother Ali, DMC, Bumpy Knuckles and Large Professor with more announcements to surely come closer to the first album’s time of release. Public Enemy will perform this Sunday, May 27 at the Movement Electronic Music Festival in Detroit, Michigan.
