Andy Compton of The Rurals (Peng Records) has created a reputation as one of the best and most prolific Deep House producers in the business. Here he comes with a brand new sound that is really close to his heart. COMPTON is a Soul/Funk/Jazz project that boasts the very best musicians from the West Coast like Charlie Hearnshaw , Jeff Bass, Pete Mo, Andy Barton and Alex Pamplin along with guest vocals from amazing soul artists from around the world including: Jaidene Veda, Ladybird, Diviniti and Kafele (all House legends in their own right). This project is quite interesting because it showcases another side to these artists’ talents. Taking inspiration from it’s urban LA name sake, you can hear COMPTON’s musical influences from The Crusaders, Shuggie Otis, Isaac Hayes, Leroy Hutson, War, Marvin Gaye and of course James Brown. This project represents the next level in Soul music with real organic musicianship and production. The result is quite simply a modern classic!

An extensive FBI file on the alleged criminal activity of the late Wu-Tang Clan rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard has been made public through the Freedom of Information Act.

"The detectives have documented, in their case files, that the WTC is heavily involved in the sale of drugs, illegal guns, weapons possession, murder, car jackings and other types of violent crimes," reads one sample entry.

Born Russell Jones, Ol' Dirty Bastard was arrested multiple times during his brief lifetime on various charges, including wearing a bulletproof vest as a convicted felon – the first person arrested under a then-new California state law. ODB collapsed and died on November 13, 2004, just short of his 36th birthday. The cause of death was determined to be an accidental overdose.

Radiohead, Black Keys, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg to Headline Coachella PDF Print E-mail

After months of speculation, leaked lineups and hipsters spreading rumors "from friends," the Coachella 2012 lineup is out. As already widely reported, Radiohead are one of the headliners, closing out the festival's two Saturday nights (April 14th and 21st). The Black Keys, who've been predicted to appear as well, are topping the two Fridays, April 13th and 20th. But one headlining act no one foretold, at least that we saw, are hip-hop icons Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, wrapping up both weekends on April 15th and 22th.

This year marks the first time Coachella will expand to two weekends. While many have wondered how Goldenvoice would be able to pull off arranging matching lineup for both weekends, the promoters have come through with a classic Coachella talent roster. Every key ingredient of past Coachellas is represented on the 2012 edition.

Major dance headliners -- how about Swedish House Mafia, Kaskade, Justice, David Guetta and AVICII?

Reunions? Check, in the form of At the Drive-In, Swedish hardcore cult heroes Refused, Pulp, Mazzy Star and the postpunk group fIREHOSE. And the current crop of alternative stars are well represented, from Florence + the Machine and Bon Iver to the Shins and Miike Snow.

The celebrated veterans spot, which in past years has seen the likes of Leonard Cohen, is represented this year by Jimmy Cliff. Other highlights we have circled include Cat Power, Madness, Godspeed! You Black Emperor, St. Vincent, Feist, M83, Amon Tobin, Givers, the Weeknd, Nero, Santigold – in fact, too many more to count.

Brandy and Monica Reunite in Miami Studio PDF Print E-mail

Brandy and Monica have gone back into the studio together for the first time in 14 years to record a follow-up to their smash hit "The Boy Is Mine." Monica broke the news in a tweet on Friday, posting a photo of herself with Brandy in a Miami studio. Brandy commented on the session on Sunday, tweeting "Wonderful night in the studio! I wasn't 100%, but I gave it my all it turned out great! Just a little more raspy than normal:)"

It is unclear exactly what the two singers are recording with producer Rico Love, and how the product of their session together will be released. If the song is in fact a sequel to "The Boy Is Mine," we could learn whether either singer ever got the dude in question, or if they've moved on to face off over an entirely new man. Either way, it's pretty unlikely that the guy has much of a say in the matter.

You can watch the video for "The Boy Is Mine," which spent 13 weeks at the top of the Hot 100 in 1998, below.

Snoop Dogg Arrested for Weed PDF Print E-mail

Snoop Dogg has a medical prescription for cannabis in California, his home state, but that doesn't fly in Texas. The rapper was arrested over the weekend after a drug-sniffing police dog found less than half an ounce of marijuana in a waste basket, according to reports.

The bus was stopped at a border-control checkpoint in Sierra Blanca – the same town where Willie Nelson was busted for weed in 2010. Snoop was cited on a misdemeanor drug possession and released. If convicted, he could face up to 180 days in jail.

The rapper has been arrested on other occasions for possession of marijuana and, in some cases, weapons possession, including firearms and a police baton.
