DMX arrested (again).

It seems like DMX wants to make handcuffs the new style.

This weekend, DMX was arrested in a Pheonix mall on suspicion of felony identity theft. Apparently, DMX, real name Earl Simmons, went under the pseudonym "Troy Jones" when he checked in to the Mayo Clinic last spring because he had pneumonia.. Using a fake name and a fake Social Security number, he tried to avoid paying a $7,500 bill.

The rapper's extensive rap sheet already includes busts on charges of outstanding warrants, misdemeanor animal cruelty and felony drug possession, speeding on a suspended license and attempted purchasing of cocaine and marijuana.

Cameron J's 50 State Challenge

Just yesterday, we got wind of WeMix user, Cameron J's fantastic idea. He wants to improve his skills by doing a collaboration with 1 user from every state. His goal is to make 50 songs, all with other WeMix users by the end of the year. Sounds pretty ambitious to us, but we think he can do it.

He's already covered Oklahoma, by collaborating with Lil Rippa. Check out "Slow."

Check out Cameron J's 50 State Challenge and if you have some time, here's a fun video he made to promote his album. If you are intersted in making a track with Cameron J, you can reach him at his MySpace or you can email him at cameronh14@hotmail.com

So who is Cameron J?

He's a musician. A WeMix.com user, just like you. Cameron hails from Oklahoma City, and has been singing most of his life, starting in church choir. He's been recognized for his musicial achievement in all-state choirs and musician groups. In January, he released his first album, R&B Sensation - totally written and produced by himself. He told WeMix " I will continue to write and better myself as a musician... This is my dream... and I'm not stopping until I wake and its a reality."

We think he's 50 state chellenge is a great way for him to start making his dreama  reality. So be a part of it! WeMix.com - Cameron J's 50 State Challenge!

The death of Death Row Records?

You all know their music well. TuPac. Snoop. Dre. They are the fathers of modern hip hop. And now their label is no longer theirs.

Death Row Records, the label that released albums by Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre, was just auctioned off for a mere $24 million.

New York-based Global Music Group Inc is now the owner of Death Row, including the back catalog and current artists contracts. The independent label now has ownership of many classic albums including Dr. Dre's "The Chronic," Shakur's "All Eyez on Me" and Snoop Dogg's "Doggystyle."

In it's heyday in the mid-1990s, Death Row sold tens of millions of records. But since, it has collapsed in debt and mismanagement.
