R. Kelly Arrest Mugshot

Reporting by: Dennis Byron

Hip Hop Enquirer has just received the arrest mugshot of singer #rkelly who surrendered to police several hours ago. We are outside police headquarters right now. R. Kelly is scheduled to appear in front of a judge to see if he will be granted a bond.

On February 22, 2019 Robert Kelley was taken into custody at the Chicago Police Departments 1st District located at 1718 S. State Street at approximately 8:14 p.m. after being indicted by a Grand Jury in Cook County.

R. Kelly‘s maintaining his innocence despite being charged with 10 counts of sexual abuse, but he thinks he’s screwed anyway … because he’s already lost in the court of public opinion.

Sources close to the singer tell TMZ … he believes it will be impossible for him to get a fair trial in the aftermath of Lifetime’s docuseries, “Surviving R. Kelly,” and nonstop media coverage — especially in Chicago.

As one source put it … “There isn’t a person in Cook County who hasn’t heard all the hateful things said about him.”

We’re told R. Kelly believes … even if he presents evidence proving his innocence, the jury will still find him guilty. Our sources say he’s moved on from panic attacks and has been in a depressed meltdown for days.

Cook County prosecutors hit R. Kelly with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse Friday morning. There are a total of 4 alleged victims, 3 of whom were between the ages of 13 to 16.

New Music Alert: Gorilla Zoe x Zaytoven – “I Am Atlanta 4ever” (Album Stream)

0

Gorilla Zoe and Zaytoven have been a dynamic musical duo for close to a decade. The signature style they’ve established over the years has helped to influence an entire generation of rappers who’ve deconstructed their work and capitalized on their sound. But on I Am Atlanta 4ever, their latest project, the street prophet and the melodic producer delved deeper inside themselves to create a body of work that will be a tough act for mimickers to follow.

Zoe, a product of the influential Atlanta culture, is knitted into the fabric of hip-hop. On this final installment of the four part series he started at the inception of his career, he offers autobiographical life lessons and more. The 10-song album is a seemingly endless roller coaster of emotions that offers a different vibe on each track that boasts digestible storytelling atop disrespectful 808 basslines. The cerebral MC clearly values lyrics; every verse on I Am Atlanta 4ever is purposeful. This artistic offering will appeal to those who appreciate soulful trap music that’s also soulfood. It’s motivational, empowering and inspirational with kernels of wisdom scattered throughout that resonate. Zaytoven sculpts his high-octane beats around the wordsmith’s zigzagging gruff vocals that showcase their kinetic chemistry.

A brilliant culmination album that cements their legacy in the game, the southern-bred poet and the Bay-area musical genius make what they do seem easy. The streetwise slick talk melds perfectly with the harmonious melodies of the keys. Much like the classic pairing of peanut butter and jelly, Zoe and Zay are impressive independently, but extraordinary when paired together.

New Music Alert: Rioma – “Better Off”

0

Bringing a varied style to the game Jersey artist Rioma delivers his new single, “Better Off” from his project, The Comparison.

Getting his start with some friends while in college, Rioma started off as free-styling but that soon developed further and he dropped out of college to pursue his career full time, living, sleeping, eating and breathing music.
“Whenever we were just chillin to getting a USB mic and recording over beats,” Rioma explained. “I never went to class. I would just stay in my dorm and write music. When I got home from school I was in an ankle cast so being in bed with nothing to do all day had me continuing to write more music. Everyday I would write and when I was out of my cast I eventually built a home studio in my basement and literally never left.”
Combining both Hip-Hop and Pop/Rock for a sound that he describes as “more of a vibe,” Rioma engages the listeners with something Hip-Hop has never seen before.
“Personally I don’t think I have a specific sound due to the fact that I make various tracks in different genres. My Hip-Hop/Rap” sound is more of a vibe, very spacey with multiple flows thrown in to keep the listener engaged. My pop/rock sound is more punctual with with less distraction meaning without backs or in an outs”, Rioma said.
Going forward Rioma plans to create a tidal wave of music so everyone knows who he is marked by appearances, touring and special events as he works to build the brand further.

Today forward thinking French vape company Le Blasé announced the launch of their new cannabis brand. Translated to English “Le Blasé” literally means “the jaded,” and signifies the brand’s expansion away from the gimmicks of the overcrowded cannabis industry and its brands with a move to meet the consumer with a high quality product.

Aligning the brand with connoisseur consumers of cannabis related products, who have surpassed the frills and gimmicks of the cannabis industry, Le Blasé brings a product to market that’s never been seen before on the cannabis vaping market.

“We got tired of all of the schemes and tricks to deceive the consumer in the cannabis industry for a quick dollar. That’s why we are somewhat jaded with what has occurred in this industry over the past few years with tricks and ploys to get the consumer to buy in with out any real value,” Jonathan Andrade Chief Marketing Executive for Le Blasé said. “We want to give people a product that his high in quality and that dispels some of the perceived stereotypes of the cannabis industry and it’s users.”

Creating an exquisite and quality focused company, the Le Blasé has values guided by behavior, attitude, style and quality. As exhibited in their marketing materials, the branding and overall message of Le Blasé is sexy, sheik and stylish.

Le Blasé’s first product is called Celui, which translates to “The One.” With the release of Celui, Le Blasé anticipates a change in the way people look at vaping.

Within the product’s packaging and design, Le Blasé has a preeminent focus on European style and fashion that influence the way customers become aware of and ultimately consume the product.

Jonathan Andrade founded BKLKDMNDS and was responsible for collaborating and marketing with multi-platinum artists like Chris Brown, YG, TY Dolla $ign and Kid Ink to name a few; so he comes to this new venture with an understanding of how to reach young and impressionable consumers.

“Vaping in some countries is a luxury. Our brand is luxury, who else is doing luxury in vape at the rate we are? We have partnered with one of the biggest manufactures in the vape industry and with that said we will be the definition of luxury in the vape world,” The CEO of Le Blasé added. “We believe the consumer is disillusioned with sub-par products so we will be partnering with brands, artists and people like Jonathan Andrade who changed the YouTube game with BlkDmnds to find cutting edge ways to reach the consumer.”

Cam Bells Emerges His Family’s Southern Roots into Rhode Island’s Culture

0
It’s not too often you hear about artists from Rhode Island, the smallest state in the United States. Khary, a notable name that has Providence (Rhode Island’s capital) on his back has set the tone for more artists to believe they can make it outside of the Ocean State.
Cam Bells, the “Prince of PVD” is using his family’s historical roots to provide a staple for R&B in his hometown. The 29-year-old native is looking to reiterate his southern roots full of soul and groove from his grandmother and father, who were all influenced by the Civil Rights movements, into Providence’s culture. His father, Roosevelt B. Bentley was an activist in the community and for board of education. Cam takes us by Bells Benton Drive in the vlog to highlight his father’s legacy. His uncle was also a member of a male band called the Benton Brothers. The independent artist remembers his first love for music and performing dating back to the mid 90’s when he’d go with his uncle to rehearsal.
Cam is also a member of Stay Silent (@staysilentpvd) an event production company created by his friends based in Providence. Stay Silent is responsible for one of the largest summer festivals held both in June and August called “Day Trill” which Cam displays a recap of in his “Timing” video.
Timing is the leave single of off the album C.B.P.V.D. which just released Feb 18th. In the debut, Cam mixes a bit of hip-hop’s 808s and flavor into his R&B which still technically wouldn’t put it into the sub-genre of “Trap-R&B.” The feels of the project are synonymous to the flow of he curates during his live R&B night we stopped by in the vlog.
Take a look at the journey of the Prince of PVD as he talks about his background in music, what he looks to contribute to R&B, and what it means to be black living in Providence, Rhode Island.
