Turk feat. Lil Wayne – “Zip It”

Turk is back home and finally is back on the right path with the music. He recently hooked up with Lil Wayne for “Zip It” which will be featured on his “Blame It On The System” project coming soon. This is a radio rip for now but once the CDQ of the song becomes available, it will be updated. You can listen to the audio after the jump.

Turk Talks Life After Prison, MC’s Who Held Him Down & His Encounter with Lil’ Wayne

Long before Young Money came into the picture, The Hot Boys were the biggest draw on Cash Money Records. An obvious counterpunch to the boy band craze which took over the late ’90s, Juvenile, B.G., Lil Wayne and Turk were the solja rag donning, white tee sporting, foul mouth antagonists to every thing mainstream America believed they understood a “boy band” to be. Hit the jump to view the full story.

Turk called into a local New Orleans radio station last week and spoke on the forever remembered Magnolia Shorty and ask New Orleans to STOP the Violence. Magnolia Shorty introduced Turk to Cash Money Records and he was later signed and joined the group “Hot Boys.”

Exactly a week has passed since the New Orleans Hip-Hop community was stunned with the double murder of Magnolia Shorty and Jerome “Man Man” Hampton. The healing process, however, has already begun. Last night, a memorial concert of sorts was held in the city’s Club Red Velvet.

The show, which included performances from artists such as: 5th Ward Webbie, Rude Jude, Kourtney Heart and others, was thrown to assist in raising money for Shorty’s family. On Thursday, December 30 at Fifth African Baptist Church, Cash Money’s second female artist will be laid to rest at a funeral which will almost surely bring out hundreds of members of the community.

In regards to her actual murder, details are still being gathered. Those with any info are encouraged to contact the local police department. In the meantime, however, the family has established the Renetta Lowe Memorial Fund in her memory. Donations may be given to Capital One banks at the bank account #5626134485.

Everyone knows, or has at least heard stories, of how ruthless the music industry can be. What’s hot today, can be corny by the next. The climate is always changing and (business) casualties are charged to the game. Knowing this, the evolution of Cash Money Records is particularly amazing. They represent a rare breed of record labels – if not the only one – who have managed to keep their heads above water and achieve a significant amount of success for well over a decade.

Look through the list. Death Row died when Dre left, Snoop jetted down south and once Tupac decided to go to Vegas. No Limit had their time. Bad Boy even fell off, though Puff still manages to keep himself relevant. The R.O.C. crumbled under internal disputes. Yet, through all the “dynasties,” the New Orleans brainchild and hustle of Baby and Slim is still around and still grossly popular. Considering the quantity of material the label has released in the past three years alone, their “ancient” recordings from the ’90′s often gets overlooked.
