Foxy Brown Talks About Hearing Loss
Foxy Brown says she hasn't heard another person's voice in six months and will have surgery early next year to restore her hearing. In a news conference held today in NYC, Foxy Brown, accompanied by supporters including Russell Simmons and his wife, Kimora Lee Simmons, and Brown's new lawyer, Joseph Fleming, said "I ask only for your continued prayers and compassion as I embrace the blessings of my journey," her voice at times choking up and tears coming to her eyes.
Brown's former lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, disclosed her hearing loss last week. He had been asked why they had exchanged notes while waiting in Manhattan Criminal Court for her case to be called on an unresolved 2004 assault charge. The two parted ways just days later.
At the news conference, Brown's medical consultant, Laura Arias, refused to give any details on what the surgery would involve, the exact date it would take place, or how long the recovery would be.
Brown said she would return to recording as soon as possible.
"I am racing to the studio the moment that God affords me the opportunity to hear again," she said.

Trei oameni injunghiati la petrecerea de lansare a albumului nou B.I.G.
Trei persoane au fost injunghiate intr-un club din Manhattan club, miercuri dimineata, unde avea loc lansarea oficiala a noului albumul Notorious B.I.G. intitulat " Duets: The Final Chapter".
Cam pe la aceeasi ora, s-au auzit focuri de arma langa clubul Exit, unde era petrecerea de lansare. Detectivii investigheaza amandoua cazurile, dar totul este in ceata, nu se stie daca cele doua evenimente au legatura intre ele.
Focurile de arma s-au auzit pe la 3 dimineata, intr-o parcare langa clubul Exit. Cand patrula de politie a ajuns la locul faptei, au gasit trei oameni care sufereau rani grave din cauza gloantelor. Cei trei au fost dusi imediat la un spital din apropiere si acum sunt in afara oricarui pericol.
Chiar dupa acest eveniment, o persoana a sunat la 911 si le-a spus autoritatilor, ca in timpul lansarii albumului, au fost injunghiati trei oameni. Ofiterii au gasit trei victime, doua avand rani de cutit pe fata, si a treia injunghiata in stomac.
Nimeni nu a fost arestat, in nici unul dintre evenimente.
Albumul "Duets: The Final Chapter" este acum in magazine!

Ghostface preps new album, Wu-Tang on tour!
Wu-Tang Clan principal Ghostface Killah has put the finishing touches on his fifth album, "Fishscale," due Feb. 28 via Def Jam. The set is led by the single "Back Like That," which features up-and-coming Def Jam labelmate Ne-Yo. Production on the project was supplied by MF Doom, Pete Rock, Madlib and J. Dilla, among many others.
Rock produced "Be Easy," which hit the streets on mixtapes last fall, while Wu-Tang cohort Raekwon appears on four tracks, including "Kilo." Ghostface's manager tells Billboard.com another song features all the members of the Wu-Tang Clan, who are regrouping in February for their first tour since 1997.
"Fishscale" is the follow-up to Ghostface's 2004 Def Jam debut, "The Pretty Toney Album," which opened at No. 6 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 219,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Ghostface is also tipped to appear on Raekwon's sequel to his 1995 solo album "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx," but no release date has yet been confirmed.
As for the Wu-Tang tour, Ghostface's manager says all the members of the act will participate. At deadline, 10 shows were confirmed, beginning Feb. 7 in New Haven, Conn. Both Raekwon and RZA hinted at the possibility of a Wu outing in prior interviews with Billboard.com, with RZA stressing that group members should be thinking about something other than money when it comes to Wu-Tang's future.
"I know everybody has a lifestyle they have to maintain," he told Billboard.com in February 2005. "Let's just say a Wu-Tang Clan album is worth a couple million dollars. Once 10 guys get on it, it's still worth a couple hundred grand. Some guys' lifestyles require them to make five or six hundred thousand dollars a year regardless. Maybe doing Wu-Tang will make you that much money, but doing it by yourself could you make you a million, because there aren't so many hands involved. But for the legacy, I think we should be willing to make that sacrifice and get it cracking."
Wu-Tang was able to reassemble for one show in California in July 2004 (chronicled on the CD/DVD "Disciples of the 36 Chambers") and another in New Jersey in November of that year the night before Ol' Dirty Bastard collapsed and died in a Manhattan recording studio.
Before the Wu dates, Ghostface will join Fort Minor at a Feb. 6 show in New York, and will then embark on his own tour in early March with Dead Prez's M1 and Sam Scarfo.
Also on tap for this spring is the release of a Ghostface action figure, which will come with a mixtape by a DJ to be announced. The doll, which is limited to 1,000, is decked out in 14-karat gold jewelry and can speak "Ghostface Killah catch-phrases," according to manufacturer 4Cast. Purchasers will also be eligible for a contest whose prize is spending a day with the rapper.
Here are the Wu-Tang Clan's tour dates:
Feb. 7: New Haven, Conn. (Toad's Place)
Feb. 8-9: Boston (Palladium)
Feb. 10-11: Philadelphia (Electric Factory)
Feb. 12: Baltimore (Sonar)
Feb. 13: Washington, D.C. (9:30 Club)
Feb. 14: New York (Hammerstein Ballroom)
Feb. 17: Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. (Revolution)
Feb. 18: St. Petersburg, Fla. (Jannus Landing)

Hogs up, Ho's down..
Well, the album is now officially complete. Titled, ??€?Every Hog Has Its Day??€? the album features production handled almost entirely by J-Zone & Celph Titled, with the sole exception coming in the form of one beat from Da Beatminerz. Droppin??€� next month, the first single will be "$teady $mobbin'" b/w "Celph Destruction". Both songs are produced by J-Zone, and "Celph Destruction" is a Celph Titled solo track. Audio for "Hog Luv", an album cut, can be heard at Zonesite.net or at myspace.com/jzoneoldmaid. In other J-Zone news, the man definitely was not bullshittin??€� on the track ??€?Sleazy Listening??€? on his last album. He always wanted to do porno music and now, the time is here. Zone has a few beats on "Asian Bang", a new porno directed by Xavier Blaze which drops on Ethnicity Films/Video Team in January 2006. Hogs up, ho's down, biiitch! Capt. Back$lap got the sounds for them freaks!
So, J-Zone fans, check the p0rn movie.

io astept cu nerabdare...Hogs up, Ho's down..
check out http://www.artofrhyme.com/newjoints.shtml... acolo sunt niste previeuri la cateva melodii de pe album
pacat ca parca nu prea mai imi place productia lui j-zone din ultima vreme... sa speram ca nu o sa fie tot albumu in stilu asta
tot acolo mai e o piesa noua care mi se pare beton.... CL Smooth | "Smoke in the Air"
