2 Chainz Signs To Def Jam
2 Chainz has revealed that he has signed to Def Jam Recordings.
During an interview with XXLMag.com, Tity Boi explained that he's no longer on Disturbing the Peace and says that he is now label mates with Ludacris, who has been signed to Def Jam throughout his career.
“It’s the Real University, Two Gun Gang, Street Executives. It’s not DTP no more,” he said. “I’m actually behind [Ludacris], he’s still my homie. I just took another route as far as running my own company and bossing up. But on the other hand, I’m still working with him. He has an album coming out this year, as well. Matter of fact, we are label mates, now, which is crazy. So, yeah, that’ll be cool. I’m looking forward to that.”
As far as his plans on Def Jam go, 2 Chainz hopes to release two albums in 2012. “I got plenty of songs and plenty of concepts and I don’t plan on putting out any more mixtapes for now so I need another venue to put out music,” he said.

Drake Says He Won't Respond To Common Diss
Common recently said that he is ready to move on from the beef with Drake, to which Drizzy has finally broken his silence. On the set of the video for “The Motto” with The Weeknd, Nah Right’s Nation spoke with the Young Money rapper who said he wouldn’t record another diss track towards Com and said that he used the beef to promote his latest album, The Dreamer, The Believer.
“No. Because despite how it’s been worded by him that situation is not a ‘hip hop moment’ or a ‘battle for the sake of musical integrity’…it’s a ploy for attention around the release of an album,” he said. “More than anything it was just disappointing cause what kid isn’t a fan of what Common has done for our genre. A guy who made such an incredible career for himself based off expressing genuine feelings about life and love is now targeting me for sharing my story.”
Additionally, Drake said that he plans to tour through 2012 and has already begun recording new music.
“I have begun working on new music already and I’ll be recording during the whole college tour with 40. Making better music and building myself as a business is all that’s on my mind. Hopefully some acting as well.”

Cory Gunz Arrested With A Loaded Firearm
Yesterday (January 28), rapper Cory Gunz, born Peter Pankey, Jr., was arrested with a loaded firearm, according to his father, rapper Peter Gunz.
The veteran rhymeslinger told MTV News that his son was arrested at around 2 p.m. in his native Bronx when police found a loaded gun in his bag. The Young Money MC was initially brought to the 43rd Precinct in the Bronx, but has since been moved to Central Booking, on E. 161st Street in the Bronx, according to the report.
“I spoke to the arresting officer, and so far, what I’m hearing from him is that they got a phone call at the station saying they should ‘look out’,” the elder Gunz told MTV News. “According to [the officer], they didn’t know he was Cory Gunz. They just saw a bunch of kids following him around. What I will say is that the officer that arrested Cory actually happened to be a cool dude. After arresting Cory, sitting down with him and talking, he felt bad about the situation.”
Peter Gunz also claimed that it was “definitely an illegal search” that resulted in the 24-year-old’s arrest.
Though there is no word yet as to whether the gun was registered legally, if it were not, Cory would facing time behind bars if convicted. In New York, if an individual is found guilty of illegally carrying a loaded firearm, there is a mandatory minimum sentence of three and a half years in prison. There has been some controversy surrounding the legislation since 2006, when the law was changed.
“Basically, the old law required someone to have a loaded weapon and intend to use it [before] the mandatory minimum would kick in,” attorney Scott Leemon told MTV News back in 2009. “And basically, what they did is they took that out of the law. So the mere possession of a loaded weapon in New York State is a felony.”
In recent years, some high-profile cases linked to the mandatory minimum have made headlines—most notably surrounding Lil Wayne and football star Plaxico Burress, each of whom were facing the three and a half years behind bars if found guilty, but opted for plea agreements.
“To go to a precinct and see your son, your junior, in handcuffs, it’s heartbreaking,” Gunz said. “Anytime you see your child in jail, in the cell, in handcuffs, it’s very hard. He’s walked down some of the same paths that I walked down, but you never want to see your kids go through what you went through.”
