* LIL WAYNE BEGINS YEAR-LONG PRISON TERM
Rapper LIL WAYNE has begun a year-long prison term after a string of delays postponed his sentencing for weapons possession, stemming from a 2007 arrest.
The Lollipop hitmaker, real name Dwayne Carter, pleaded guilty last year (09) to attempted criminal possession of a weapon, and admitted having a loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic gun on his tour bus.
He was initially expected to be sentenced to a year behind bars last month (Feb10), but he was granted a postponement to undergo dental surgery. The hearing was delayed again on 2 March (10), after a blaze in the basement of the courthouse forced officials to evacuate the building and close it down for the rest of the day.
The rapper was finally sentenced at Manhattan Criminal Court on Monday (08Mar10), and taken away in handcuffs to begin his term at an undisclosed city jail immediately. According to the Associated Press, the Grammy winner’s lawyer plans to ask for protective custody out of concern for Wayne’s safety and health following his dental surgeries.
He could be released in about eight months with good behaviour. (JMA/WNWA/IG)

Alicia Keys – Unthinkable (I’m Ready)
You should be familiar with this song if you bought Alicia Keys’ The Element Of Freedom album or if you’ve been keeping track of some of her performances as of late. One of the standout tracks from the album (co-written by Drake), Ms. Keys has decided to make this the next single following her collaboration with B’ on “Put It In A Love Song” (we’re still waiting for the video, by the way).
Although we’ve practically played this song out at this stage in the game, be ready for it to invade radio waves real soon and if you’re like us, you can look forward to officially hating it from here on out. The instrumental for this song is floating around too but please don’t try to record your version, because chances are we won’t give 2 shits about it.

Video: Fabolous Talks ‘Evolving’ New Loso’s Way 2 Album
“The new album — I’m looking to come with another summer release,” he said. “Probably late July or early August. I’m gathering joints together — so any producer trying to make that Loso’s Way 2, you can send them in. I got a couple of things in the stash. I always keep beats on the side even if they don’t work at the time. I know a hot beat when I hear it. The ‘Throw It In the Bag’ [remix] I had for seven, eight months before I used it. I knew it was a hot joint. When I did the remix I started digging in the crates and pulled it up. I haven’t went it to start [laying] vocals [on the album] yet, but we in the motion of it.”
After one of his most successful years in 2009, Fab wants to grow in 2010.
“Just the next level in the career, the evolution of Fabulous,” he said of the direction of the next Loso’s Way. “Me, a kid coming from the housing projects in Brooklyn and having the ability to make music, from the mixtape level to graduating to the album level, now just being able to make good music. Keep stable who I am as an artist, as a person. Of course, the next level of my life. On the first Loso’s Way, I touched on having a son and stuff like that. That was the next step for me in general, in life — evolving as a man. Now there are things I’m evolving in as an artist as well.”
