Manfredi, who goes by the name Scarface, is being charged with multiple counts of murder, Mafia associations and drug violations. One standout charge is the accusation that in 2002 he murdered a member of a rival Mafia family with a portable rocket launcher.

Manfredi was reportedly chatting on Facebook the moment that police broke into his safe house. Authorities are investigating his more than 200 Facebook friends for clues to the whereabouts of other crime figures.

WTF!!!! PORTABLE ROCKET LAUNCHER...THE STREETS IS FED UP!!!

New Music: Saniyah "Abuse The Music"

Another local Bahamian talent Dinetia Dean now introduces herself to the music scene as the artist Saniyah...after a few listens to her first single "Abuse The Music" there's no denying her talent...the song is very well written and for the most part Saniyah does a really good job...this excerpt i read on The C.S Perspective really sums her up...

"Abuse the music is the debut single from Bahamian Pop singer Saniyah. It’s obvious that this chick has grown up on some Janet Jackson (and to a lesser degree some Ciara) because the influences are unavoidable. The sound is urban but has a slight europop undertone with minimal yet pristine production. Overall it is a fair first offering, which neither dazzles nor disappoints. Really what this song needs is some more ABUSE!! We just wish that the song was attacked with more vigor. Instead of pouncing like a ferocious lioness the chorus was approached like a house cat playing with a ball of yarn. On a more positive note we must give two thumps way up for the songwriters who have crafted something that is danceable and smooth and has an international appeal."

Saniyah - Abuse The Music

Michael Jackson Estate Signs Biggest Record Deal In History

Even in death Michael Jackson still makes history...The Wall Street Journal reports that Sony Music Entertainment recently agreed to terms with Michael Jackson's estate on a deal worth 250 million dollars for the rights to release 10 projects over the next 7 years...Future offerings may include a mix of previously unreleased songs, new packages of familiar hits, and a DVD compilation of music videos. One of the albums containing never-before-released Jackson recordings is expected in November. The soundtrack to last fall’s concert documentary This Is It will count toward the 10-album obligation.

The current deal absolutely smashes previous record deals Mariah Carey (100 Million)...Bruce Springsteen (100 million)...Madonna (120 million)...and Jay-Z (150 million)

New Video Lady Gaga x Beyonce "Telephone"

This video had more hype surrounding it than Lebron in 12th grade...Lady Gaga always came off as a bit weird different but in a good way (kinda)...it shouldn't surprise anyone that she always stands out in whatever she does or wherever she shows up,and being talented also helps lol, Beyonce doesn't disappoint either as usual.so if you got 10 MINUTES to spare sit back n enjoy
