After all the controversy surrounding Jayo Felony and his beef with Snoop Dogg and the Dogg Pound, Jayo has dropped the title "Crip Hop" for his new album and will go with Trip Hop instead.The album will drop on his own Loco Records and will feature appearances from Ja Rule, E-40 and more. At this stage it looks as though ‘Trip Hop’ will drop on October 23rd. Jayo caused a stir earlier this year. His song "True’d Up," was a diss to Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg. "Jay-Z snitched to [Def Jam head Lyor Cohen] and tried to keep the song from being put out,” Jayo told MTV. “We got calls from Lyor and everybody about not putting this record out. I feel like this: If we’re on the streets, keep it on the streets. Don’t go to the higher-ups.” While shooting his video for True’s Up, which appeared on the Jimmy "Haitian Jack" Henchman compilation, Bulletproof Love in Brooklyn, gunfire rang out. Plainclothes officers on patrol near the Van D### Houses saw men standing in the street firing handguns in the air and someone filming them. Four men were subsequently arrested: Kenneth James, 22, Jamie Evans, 25, Steve Brockett (AKA JFK), 23 and 19-year-old Jermaine Cobbs. Police could not get the footage because an unidentified artist boarded a flight to Los Angeles early Friday (April 27th) with the film. A nearby surveillance camera owned by the Housing Authority reportedly captured some of the shooting.
