It’s no secret that many people in the great city of Atlanta have been uprooted due to the treacherous down-pour of rain. And mother nature – it seems – isn’t quite done.

And while there are definitely many people who need help, the floods have taken one of Atlanta’s own DJ’s to task.

DJ Infamous, one of the MOST influential DJ’s in Atlanta is in need of some relief. With a one-week old son and all his DJ equipment ruined, its time for ATL industry to rally around one of our peoples.

Louisiana rapper Lil Boosie (born Torrence Hatch) pleaded guilty to a third-offense marijuana possession charge on Tuesday and was sentenced to two years in prison. The plea deal came just one day before the MC's latest album, Superbad: The Return of Boosie Bad Azz, debuted in the top 10 on the Billboard albums chart.

According to Baton Rouge station WBRZ, Boosie will serve at least one year in prison after prosecutors reached an agreement with his lawyers in which all but two years of a 10-year sentence were suspended. The rapper will also be on active supervised probation for two to five years after his release from prison. If he completes his probation, the gun charge will be dropped.  

"I'm ready to get this behind me," Boosie, 25, told Judge Chip Moore one week before he was scheduled to stand trial in connection with his October 22 arrest. During the incident, East Baton Rouge sheriff's deputies found a bag of marijuana, a cigar loaded with weed and another unspecified drug and a gun in a car driven by Boosie. At the time, he was charged with third-offense possession of marijuana, punishable by up to 20 years in prison, as well as possession of a firearm with a controlled dangerous substance, a crime that carries a mandatory minimum five-year prison term.

Usually when rappers get robbed it's usually by some straight up goons rocking a mask or rag. In Rick Ross's case, he was apparently seduced before getting got. According to CBS affiliate Channel 5 News in Nashville, Rick Ross got got for over $60,000 worth of his personal belongs including jewelry and a laptop.

Apparently, 4 strippers made their way to Ross and his crew’s hotel room at the Hilton in downtown Nashville after a performance for some apparent groupie love. The four women then proceeded to do what appears to be a reinactment of the movie “Set It Off” relieving the boss of his items and making what they thought was a clean getaway. But cameras in the hotel have caught the suspects and now Crime Stoppers are looking for them. Check it out
