(AllHipHop News) Lupe Fiasco is set to appear next month at his charitable foundation’s 4th Annual Block-By-Block Initiative in Chicago, which launched earlier this week. According to the Lupe Fiasco Foundation website, the “Community Feeding Initiative’s” goal is to feed “at least 100 people daily and target inner-city communities such as Austin, East Garfield Park, Auburn-Gresham, and West Englewood.” Lupe is scheduled to make an appearance at the event, which kicked off on July 24 and will last until August 17; however, the specific date and location have yet to be disclosed. The initiative is determined “to provide a healthy meal or snack during the month of Ramadan in efforts to provide healthy eating and lifestyles in partnership with community organizations,” the foundation reports. Organizers added that after lasting for a day in years past, the event grew over time to approximately 20 days, with the goal of increasing its impact annually. Partners of the “Community Feeding Initiative” include New Birth Christian Center, Iman Foundation, Soul Vegan, Brown Sugar Bakery, and Fresh Moves Mobile Produce Market.

(AllHipHop News) DJ Mick Boogie has teamed up with Hypetrak to release an 18-track mixtape titled Represent the Stripes as an homage to Adidas’ #represent campaign and to help build some musical awareness and anticipation for the 2012 Summer Olympic games which begin this Friday (July 27) in London.

Production on the tape is provided by Chi Duly, Mell and D, Party Supplies, Block, DJ Uneek, Fly Union, , and more. Hypetrak said of the mixtape, “Mick Boogie was so impressed with the upcoming Adidas #represent campaign that he decided to make a mixtape paying homage to it: “Represent The Stripes.” The project ties in the ideals of the Adidas campaign with the patriotism of the Olympics going on this month…hence the double entendre of “Represent The Stripes.” More of an exclusive, awesome compilation than a mixtape, this project features a who’s who of dope new rappers and some legends as well!” Stream and download Represent the Stripes below: http://soundcloud.com/hypetrak-1/sets/mick-boogie-hypetrak-represent

FLICKS: LUPE, JOHN LEGEND AND MORE AT THE 2012 FIREFLY FESTIVAL
With inevitable plans to re-launch Batman in a new franchise over the next several years, following the critically acclaimed and fan-adored three films from Christopher Nolan’s own Dark Knight trilogy, Warner Bros. has begun plotting its future moves with the other DC properties they desire to get on big screens – sooner rather than later. It is known that Warner Bros., is beginning to plant seeds, the first of which may be in 2013’s Man of Steel, for their own future superhero team-up movie Justice League, which includes the characters of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and more, following the immense success of Marvel’s The Avenger earlier this summer. Snyder, who directed 300, Watchmen, Dawn of the Dead and Sucker Punch certainly has the visual flair to pull off a spectacle like Man of Steel, but with the godfather himself, Christopher Nolan, producing this new interpretation of Superman, fans are sure to get something they never expected. Check out the film’s first teaser below to get an idea of what exactly may be in store when next summer rolls around: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jKWJZsjm5U&w=560&h=315] Henry Cavill plays Superman in director Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel.” The film also stars Amy Adams as Daily Planet journalist Lois Lane, and Laurence Fishburne as her editor-in-chief, Perry White. Starring as Clark Kent’s adoptive parents, Martha and Jonathan Kent, are Diane Lane and Kevin Costner. Squaring off against the superhero are two other surviving Kryptonians, the villainous General Zod, played by Michael Shannon, and Faora, Zod’s evil partner, played by Antje Traue. Also from Superman’s native Krypton are Lara Lor-Van, Superman’s mother, played by Ayelet Zurer, and Superman’s father, Jor-El, portrayed by Russell Crowe. Rounding out the cast are Harry Lennix as U.S. military man, General Swanwick, as well as Christopher Meloni as Colonel Hardy. Man of Steel hits theaters on June 14, 2013
