"NBA star Carmelo Anthony has finalized a joint venture with his imprint Krossover Entertainment and Atlanta-based record label Block Entertainment.

For the last few years, Block Entertainment has been a consistent force in Atlanta’s music scene due to the star power of Yung Joc, Gorilla Zoe, and Boyz N Da Hood.

The joint deal will initially focus on promoting the national debut of Atlanta artist Diego Ca$h.

Locally, the Eastside rapper has been making a name for himself on mixtape collaborations with DJ Drama (Gangsta Grillz), DJ Smallz (Kill Ya Self), and DJ Paperboi (800 Bodies).

With ‘Melo’s roster already including Philadelphia emcee Cassidy, Diego Ca$h feels blessed to come into a label situation surrounded by experienced industry professionals.

“I am privileged to be in a position where I am able to work with such seasoned individuals in the music industry,” Ca$h stated to AllHipHop.com. “I plan to continue to create quality rap music while furthering my brand as a rap artist.”

Carmelo Anthony is aware that many fans don’t take basketball player labels seriously.

With his recent signing and joint label venture, the Denver Nuggets star expects fans to begin recognizing Krossover Entertainment as a legit entity in Hip-Hop music.

“By joining forces with Block Entertainment, I am looking forward to a great business relationship,” Anthony stated to AllHipHop.com. “In addition to long term musical success, this movement will mark new territory in not only the Atlanta market but all over the country as well.”

Diego Ca$h’s latest mixtape, 800 Bodies, is available at http://www.krossoverent.com/. "

"Today, the LAPD has identified the man that allegedly shot and killed Roderick Anthony Burton II, a rapper known as “Dolla.” The man arrested is named Aubrey Louis Berry. Dolla died Monday after a shooting at 3 p.m. at the Beverly Center Mall in Los Angeles. The accused shooter was arrested at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) as he tried to board a plane. Berry is being held on a million dollar bail, and the police are searching for another suspect, who fled the crime scene in a silver Mercedes-Benz SUV. Apparently, Dolla was shot in the head as he and another rapper, D.J. Shabbazz waited for their car in a valet parking area. Dolla, who was signed to fellow rapper Akon’s Konvict music label, was a noted up-and-comer on the national charts. His song “Who Da F*ck Is That” was a hit last year on the radio and in the clubs. Dolla’s shooting should not be confused with another shooting in March – where the rapper Dollar Bill died. Anthony “Dollar Bill” Levy was shot and killed by Miami police after a standoff in the attic of a house. He had barricaded himself with a bulletproof vest and a great deal of ammunition. The SWAT team was called in and Dollar Bill was shot when he allegedly tried to stab one of the police officers with a knife. Before his death, Dollar Bill was wanted on several charges, including aggravated assault, firearm possession on school property, and kidnapping. Rest in peace, brothers."

LOS ANGELES — Rapper Dolla was fatally shot near a valet stand outside a mall after a dispute with another man Monday afternoon, his publicist said.
Dolla, whose real name is Roderick Anthony Burton II, was shot in the head at the Beverly Center near West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, publicist Sue Vannasing told the Los Angeles Times. Police and coroner's officials have not confirmed the victim's identity.
An armed man was detained at the Los Angeles International Airport for questioning two hours after the shooting, police said.
Vannasing said Burton and another rapper, D.J. Shabbazz, were waiting at the valet stand after a shopping trip when a gunman opened fire on the Atlanta-based rapper.
Police Officer Karen Reyner said the victim and the gunman had been arguing before the gunman attacked and fled in a silver Mercedes-Benz.
Burton worked on the soundtrack for the 2006 dance film "Step Up" and recently released two singles with the singer Akon: "Like This" and "She So Fine."

Rapper sentenced to spend a year and a day behind bars at the low-security facility.
(By Jayson Rodriguez)

T.I. will report to an Arkansas federal prison on May 26 to begin his one-year-and-one-day jail sentence for felony weapons charges, it was revealed Friday (May 15).
According to The Associated Press, paperwork filed in court shows that the rapper has until noon that day to report to the Forrest City low-security federal prison. T.I.'s lawyers had attempted to place their client in a location closer to his Atlanta home, to no avail.
In May, T.I. was sentenced to prison by a judge after his plea deal was accepted. As part of the plea, T.I. had to complete 1,000 hours of community service before sentencing, pay a $100,000 fine and agree to complete another 500 hours of community service after his time behind bars.
His sentence is the result of his October 2007 arrest for illegally attempting to purchase firearms. T.I. is a convicted felon and it is not permissible by law for him to own any guns.
Following his sentencing in March, Tip said he's happy to be moving on and taking the steps to reach the next chapter in his life.
"Although I am not thrilled about my next year and a day, I am pleased that I am beginning the process of putting this all behind me," he said during a press conference inside the courthouse. "Thank you and I apologize to my family, to the young men, young women that I mentor. I hope that I can keep at least one, if not a million or more, from going down a similar path. I just want to say thank you."
T.I.'s label, Atlantic Records, had no comment at press time.
