Seems that Rawkus are also playing around with their release dates again. DJ Hi-Tek's "Hi-Teknology" is now expected a week later than expected, watch out for the release of that album on May 15th.

It seems that Shyne's career behind the mic may reach an abrupt end. Although he was cleared of the attempted murder charge, the assualt charge alone could put Shyne away for the maximum of 15 years. Bare in mind that this is the maximum sentence for the assualt charge, the Judge may look at Shyne's history before making the sentence.

Prodigy is ready to unleash his label, Infamous Records with the release of the debut album from Bars-N-Hook. Watch out for their self-titled debut to drop on July 3rd. Cormega is also apparently on the label, so we may see his album sooner than later.

DefJam's release schedule has undergone changes again. Expect Redman's new LP "Malpractice" on May 1st. Also, Foxy Brown's album will drop on June 19th now. Albums from Lady Luck and DMX have all been given unconfirmed dates.

To all those who need to hear more of that ol' skool ish, beatboxer and emcee Biz Markie has signed a deal with underground label, Groove Attack.

According to his street team, Onyx member, Sticky Fingaz has had his solo debut album "The Autobiography Of Kirk Jones" delyed to May due to the mass bootlegging of the album. Sticky is currently working on new tracks for the album to beat the bootleggers (something Canibus should have done with his last album in my opinion). Let's hope the album does eventually hit the streets this time.
