Young M.A Talks Success Of "OOOUUU," Radio, Rapping At Age Nine & More In New Video

                                            

Young M.A experienced a wealth of success following the release of her hit record "OOOUU." The song put Young M.A and her RedLyfe imprint on the map and the track garnered remixes from everyone including Jadakiss and The Game.

But as quick as the come-up was for the artist, there was a lot left untold to her story, and today the Brooklyn-born rapper seeks to fill in those blank spaces in her "Ride Along" segment with The Fader. In the short two minute clip, Young M.A details her humble beginnings as a nine-year-old MC and the feeling she got when her record first hit the radio airwaves.

Watch Trae Tha Truth Push A Bullet Out Of His Arm

                                           

Savage move.

Trae the Truth was shot outside a Houston strip club back in 2012 and has had a bullet lodged in his arm ever since. That is, he had a bullet lodged in his arm until yesterday, when he was able to push it out of his arm. He recorded a video of him dislodging the bullet and posted it to Instagram.

“The Bullet That’s Been Sittin In My Shoulder The Past Few Years Decided To Come Out…. Gotta Thank God I’m Still Here," he wrote in the caption.

Joey Bada$$ Declines Trump's Invitation To Perform At Inauguration

                                            

Though Donald Trump's people deemed Kanye West's music not "traditionally American" enough for Inauguration Day festivities, they reportedly asked a truckload of other artists -- including rappers -- to perform for him. Well, you can add Joey Bada$$ to the growing list of emcees who declined that special request. Cinematic Music Group founder Jonny Shipes confirmed it in a tweet Thursday night.

Shipes took the opportunity to plug the Brooklyn rapper's new single "Land Of The Free" that landed today -- Bada$$ is signed to his label. It's ironic that Trump's people would try to book Badmon since he made his feelings quite clear in the first single off his new album AABA, spitting, “Sorry ‘Murica but I will not be your soldier. Obama just wasn’t enough, I need some more closure. And Donald Trump is not equipped to take this country over.”

He continued, “And since y'all love breaking news, here's some old news to break, I'm gay. And now I've told u about my life, maybe u can go life yours.”

Bobby Shmurda’s pal gets 130-year sentence, curses out judge

                                              

Rapper Bobby Shmurda’s co-defendant in a Brooklyn gang conspiracy told a Manhattan judge to “suck my d–k” Wednesday just before he was ordered jailed for more than a century.

Foul-mouthed Santino Boderick, 23, unleashed a volley of curses at Justice Abraham Clott, who remained calm.

“F–k yourself,” Boderick said as he demanded to be removed from the courtroom before he was given a 117½- to 130-year sentence.

Clott permitted the defendant’s exit, then delivered the sentence in his absence.

Boderick was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, possession of a weapon and 20 other felonies stemming from four gang-related shootings.

In September, Boderick refused a plea deal of 15 years in prison. His three co-defendants, including Shmurda, took a deal.

The case was handled by the Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor.
