Yelawolf and Slaughterhouse Sign to Shady Records
“Yelawolf and Slaughterhouse, it’s kinda phase two of Shady,” says Eminem. “It’s the new generation of Shady Records and as we’re trying to rebuild our label, it’s exciting for hip-hop and with all of these forces coming together and with what everybody’s capable of on the mic, it’s gonna be fun.”
Royce Da 5’9″: “It’s very exciting for me to reunite with Eminem years after our Bad Meets Evil project together. Slaughterhouse on Shady Records will be a force to reckon with.”
Yelawolf: “Considering where I’m from and the shit I’ve been through, it’s hard to put into words what partnering with Shady means to me, my team at Ghet-O-Vision, and my state of Alabama. I can tell you that when you’re willing to give your life up to see a dream through, the reward is great. And now that I’ve become an apprentice to one of the greatest artists in the world, my potential reaches beyond anything I ever imagined. Let’s kill this shit.”
Congrats.

UPDATE: Waka Flocka Released from Jail
(AllHipHop News) Rapper Waka Flocka Flames was released from prison earlier this evening (January 5th), stemming from a raid on his home on last week.
The rapper posted a $40,000 bond and was released from the Henry County Jail, after surrendering to authorities on January 3rd.
Waka Flocka was not home during the raid on his house on December 16th, which resulted in several men being detained and arrested on minor drug and gun possession charges.
Waka Flocka, born Jaquin Malphurs, was charged with various charges stemming from the raid, including marijuana and hydrocone possession, firearm possession by a felon, probation violation for driving on a suspended license and violating the state's Anti-Gang laws.
Additionally, the latest charges have resulted in the rap star being charged with violating the terms of his previous probation, for possessing a shot gun earlier in the year.
Ted Johnson, Waka Flocka Flames' attorney, said that the guns were found in the house were not illegal, a claim echoed by the rapper's mother/manager.
"They found a bunch of guns and twice much of cash," Debra Antney told AllHipHop.com short after the raid. "They found the security..his gun [he's] licensed to carry. Waka's security and his cousin was sleeping in the room. The door was locked and what they kicked it in for I don’t know, because if they would have asked for the code, we would have given it."
Ms. Antney also said the media was overhyping the "raid" on the house last month.
"You put this big thing out there and start scaring sponsors," Antney told AllHipHop.com. "It was two officers there that let us know and that s**twas bulls**t!"

UPDATE: Gucci Mane Committed into a Mental Institution
AllHipHop News) According to reports, Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane has been committed to a mental institution in Atlanta, following a judge's recommendation for him to serve jail time for violating the terms of his probation.
According to documents obtained by TMZ.com, the rapper filed for a "Special Plea of Mental Incompetency" during his appearance yesterday (January 3rd), in front of a Fulton, County judge.
The rapper claimed he was in no state to "intelligently participate in the probation revocation hearing" and was committed to an undisclosed mental health facility, so his condition could be evaluated.
In December, another rapper, DMX was also ordered into a mental health facility, because of an "undiagnosed" mental condition. Both artists have well documented battles with drug use, which frequently has landed them behind bars.
DMX has been arrested every year since 1999, while Gucci Mane has racked up numerous offenses over the years, the most serious for Gucci being a May 2005 murder charge, which was later dismissed, stemming from a botched robbery involving men affiliated with Young Jeezy's CTE Entertainment.
