As was the case with Michael Jordan and Jay Z, the announcement of retirement from the game has come to fall on deaf ears.
The drop of Emeritus was supposed to be the swan song and the final curtain call for rapper Scarface, but even his statement of stepping out of the game had to be retracted as he is returning and already preparing his next album.
Making quick rounds, Face has already tapped into talents such as John Legend for his upcoming release, which has yet to be titled and without a scheduled date to drop.
During an interview with HipHopDX, producer Mike Dean chopped it up and gave an update on where Scarface is at with the next project.

In a sudden twist of fate officials in Haiti are reporting that the lawyer who volunteered to help the 10 Baptist church members accused of human trafficking is wanted for the crime himself.
Jorge Puello offered his service to the missionaries after they were arrested for allegedly trying to take 33 children out of Haiti illegally.
The accused members did not do a background check on the lawyer however and deemed him as a good Samaritan for coming to their aid.
Officials believe however that Jorge Puello is actually Jorge Torres Orellana, a man wanted for running a sex trafficking ring by luring girls from the Caribbean and Central America into prostitution through modeling career promises.
Police are seeking finger prints of Puello to test his true identity.
As previously reported, all ten of the Baptist church members have been charged with child kidnapping and criminal association.
SMH....why would he volunteer to help them if he was a wanted man?

“You should let your fans, the younger generation and anyone aspiring to be in this game, know the full spectrum.”
While some rappers are only willing to present one aspect, generally the luxuries that come with the fame, the Clipse has always maintained the balance and established the fact that every action has a reaction that can be positive and negative.
Having side ventures such as Play Cloths, Malice is taking his message from his rap and turning it into something ever greater as he is in the works of making his debut in literature.
With the working title “Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind and Naked”, the literary work will serve as an autobiography that will chronicle (more...)
