Don't count Dame out yet. Looks like he has a reality show in the works as he embarks on his comeback.

From the looks, it kind of seems like a real life Entourage and Cam'ron, Ski Beatz, Freekey Zeeky and Vado are also along for the ride.

Peep The Video...

Rapper Kendrick Lamar, executive Steve Stoute and stylist June Ambrose are a few of the people that lend their input to this video highlighting the impact and reach of the Rocawear brand started by Jay-Z and Damon Dash over a decade ago.

Naomi Campbell also spoke about her involvement in the ad campaigns and how much it meant to her.

Stoute claims that although we don't view Nike and Levi's as urban brands that they reach that demographic without trying. Rocawear set out to reach the urban youth but their classic style and the growth of the brand's creator helped them go much further.

Dame Dash can breathe a little easier as his "bootlegging" charges have been put to rest.

A Manhattan judge agreed to settle the restraining order that was placed on 172 Duane Street, the building that housed his DD172  studio/building,  after claims that the property's owners and Damon Dash  were selling and distributing alcohol without a license.

According to The Village Voice, Judge Cynthia S. Kern signed a stipulation settling the matter as long as 172 Duane Street Realty abides by the liquor laws in the future and agrees to provide security guards when holding events, agrees to warrantless inspections by police, and abide by their certificate of occupancy.

As previously reported, the Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder and his associates are catching heat for running an unlicensed club called DD172in New York City, and have been served with of six counts of storing and selling alcohol without a license.

Dash reportedly moved out of the space in New York's Tribeca neighborhood in June, but were first hit for violating the liquor code this past May and in November 2010.

Dash's lawyer Joshua Seidman told The Village Voice that the city had never served his client any papers and that “selling liquor was never a part of the business model of that location.” (Two police documents from April and May obtained by the Voice list Dash by name on reports of an illegal bottle club/alcohol warehousing.) Seidman added that “the company hasn't operated out of that premises since the beginning of summer.”

A source close to the proceedings told the Voice that if Dash had still been the tenant at the time the city served the papers, there would have been more of a chance of his having to pay fines. As it stands now, no one has to pay anyone anything.

Just in time for Autumn, DC's favorite hip-pop West African transplant, Tabi Bonney is readying the release of his fourth studio album, The Summer Years, entirely produced by undercover grandmaster, Ski Beatz, the in-house producer at Dame Dash's Tribeca studio, DD172.

The duo's first karate chop at the Internets is “The Winner's Parade” featuring Nicole Wray.

HipHopWired spoke exclusively with Tabi to find out what kind of sound is coming out of the dojo that Bloomberg shut down (only temporarily, obviously).

 “It's straight up Hip-Hop,” he said. “I'm more lyrical, and then Ski's range, he doesn't stay the same in one song, so you'll see that the range of the beats ... it's vast, it's not like one dimension.”

Tabi and Ski previously worked together for a track on Ski's 24-Hour Karate School. They'll be joined on the Hip-Hop & Love tour beginning at the end of this month with The Summer Years' only other hip-hop feature, Murs.

Tabi is now managed by Damon Dash as well and added,

“It's 100% produced by Ski.  Dame Dash is putting it out, I'm just happy man.”

With his unique style and refreshing sound, his mixtape leak "Brown Suga" has the streets going crazy, while his official single "Rise&Grind" is serving up to be the street anthem for every hustler on the block.

“I just wanted to really show people that there was someone out there making really good music without the hooks,” K.R. said, “I am just trying to bring real music back and show the youth that you can do anything you put your mind to regardless of where you come from.”

Who would have thought Beanie Sigel would ever head back to prison? And if you did think the Broad Street Bully would end up behind bars, chances are you assumed it would be for bullying, not tax evasion.

Unfortunately, the government is becoming the Gooch in this scenario and Beans has admitted that he did not file his taxes between the years 2003 and 2005.

The end result is the prosecution is seeking $350,000 out of an undeclared one million dollars of earned income.

His hearing isn't until November 18th but if convicted, Sigel could face three years in prison.

What is it about entertainers and taxes?

Dame Dash Cited For Owing $3 Million To IRS

Dame Dash's financial records have been faltering the past few years and now the Detroit News reports that the Roc-A-Fella co-founder owes $3 million in taxes to Uncle Sam.

To clear his debt, Dash has to pay $2,984,364.

Back in 2008, it was reported he faced foreclosure on his home after missing mortgage payments.

At that time, the former music mogul had owed $2 million to the IRS.

After selling his share of the label to Def Jam, Dash has since been working with various music artists in New York City.

None of which seem to be paying his bills, however.

As previously reported Sigel lashed out at his former boss in 2009 claiming that he was disloyal and never visited him while in prison.
Since his first public outburst, Sigel has given radio interviews, threatened to “smack the Shyte out of Drake” and released diss tracks like his '09 release “Average Cat.”

Now two years later, Beanz is speaking out and admitting that he's made a mistake.

The Broad Street Bully gave a statement to XXL Tuesday saying,

“ What Mike Epps say? 'Gangstas f**k up too. Whatever I felt this dude Jay did wrong to me, it can't outweigh the one thing he did do for me - he gave me an opportunity. Dude gave me an opportunity. I got caught in the moment and put my feelings out there. I should have never done that."

 

Beanz has since decided not to release a full album worth of material dissing Jay-Z, Memphis Bleek and Rocafella Records.
