Handshakes and Middle Fingers is what Classified is giving


Oh Canada stand tall and proud as we INTROduce Classified. Hip Hop artist Classified has had over 2 million views for his tribute to his beloved Country called "Oh Canada" . Now he brings to you his new 14th album entitled "Handshakes and Middle Fingers". His first single "That Ain't Classy" reached #45 on the Canadian Hot 100 and the album debuted at #7 on the Canadian Albums Chart, making it his highest charting album to date.





The album is reminiscent of 90's hip-hop where hip hop had a more layed back feel. Fourteen albums in and Classified shows that he still has passion for what he does regardless of what others may feel about him as a rapper. He wants you to know that he is going to kill your misconception of him and he is not just talking about his complexion.

‘Lollipop’ Producer Deezle Speaks On His Lawsuit Against Lil Wayne

The producer is seeking $20 million dollars from the rapper and his label.
In March of this year Deezle, the man who produced Lil Wayne’s hit “Lollipop”, filed suit against the New Orleans rapper and his Young Money/Cash Money label seeking $20 million. In the suit Deezle claimed that he was owed unpaid royalties from sales of the single and its parent album, Tha Carter III. Now, according to AllHipHop.com, Deezle has issued a statement regarding his lawsuit.
He says, in part, “After consultation with my team I have decided to make a statement as it relates to the litigation pending against Cash Money and Young Money. At this time I am owed a sufficient amount of money and will protect the rights afforded me by the State of New York. My team is of the opinion that the matter will be resolved in a timely fashion.” Deezle, born Darius Harrison, is also seeking $2.5 million in owed royalties for another Tha Carter III track he produced, “Mrs. Officer.”
In Deezle’s suit he states that Tha Carter III has sold six million copies, amounting to over $70 million dollars in revenue. Deezle won three Grammy’s for his work with Lil Wayne. Neither Wayne nor any of his representatives have commented on this new statement.
