Former BMF member Bleu Davinci and remaining other members of BMF have been going back and forth via social media and interviews. The most recognizable beef is between Bleu and JBo with both accusing the other of being rats or snitches. Strong allegations.
Bleu, the former face of the drug organization which also ventured in the music industry and co signed artists such as Jeezy, alleges that JBo — the former right hand man to Demetrius ‘Big Meech’ was barred from selling dope and thrown in the truck of rival St Louis drug dealers back before his BMF days.
I have idea or proof this is truth so please don’t hold me to any or this as gospel but Bleu sure does sound sure of it.
Reminds me of the scene from the movie “The Players Club” when St Louis had Dolla Bill aka Bernie Mack thrown in the trunk for owing him money. Maybe that’s just how they do it in “the Lou”.
Author and crime historian Christian Cipollini is back with a new biographic novel and of course I had to share. He has teamed with Gorilla Convict to present this inventive masterpiece that only a true crime buff can appreciate.
I had the pleasure of receiving an advance copy of the comic storybook “LUCKY” which chronicles the rise and fall of the Italian mafia’s bad boy Lucky Luciano. The press packet also contains a book trailer which brings the project to life.
If you grew enjoying comic books, this comic will bring back a bit of nostalgia. It has an incredibly vivid and colorful visual layout. The story line is intriguing and engaging from start to finish. Of course anything featuring the mafia is always going to be compelling.
Mix a little comic with a little gangster and bada bing! You’ve got LUCKY.
Check back later for a more in-depth review but in the meantime check out the official book trailer and become a backer.

If you lived in or around Atlanta during the 90s, chances are you are very familiar with Freaknik. Legendary is not a big enough word to describe this event also considered the black college spring break.
I’ve never actually attended the real Freaknik because I was a young teen during the 90s. My mother wouldn’t dare allow me to go to Atlanta for this kind of debauchery but I do remember girls my age were going to “The A” to turn up.
I moved to Atlanta in 1998, the official last year of the festival but by then it was already over. Police barricaded all the streets and directed traffic out of the city. There was no fun to be had.
Living in Atlanta for as long as I have, I know Freaknik had to be annoying for those that lived in the city. Atlanta traffic is already the worst, imagine have thousands of college age kids partying and twerking in the streets. The powers that be have since shut all of it down but the freaky stories live on.
Promoters have tried to recreate and resurrect Freaknik but it has never made an official comeback, and it probably never will again.
Baller Alert — The iconic Atlanta festival that ran between the mid-1980s to the 1990s was a congregation of HBCU college students during the spring break season. Originally beginning as a picnic, the gathering grew each year before becoming a full-out festival that ballooned to thousands of visitors. Eventually, it would evolve into a days-long event filled with concerts, dance contests, parties, and even job fairs aimed at young Black professionals. Every element of this cultural phenomenon will be explored in the doc titled “Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told.”
Alanta producer Jermaine Dupri and Miami bass pioneer Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell will serve as executive producers on the film. Luke was a frequent staple at Freaknik, so often aligned with the festival that many people believed he had a hand in starting it. However, his music became the soundtrack for this lively yearly party. Sadly, by 1998 the Atlanta Committee for Black College Spring Breakmoved to end the festival due to safety concerns, particularly sex assault claims and violence caused by a handful of troublemakers that ruined the festivities for everyone. Since its demise, many have attempted to recreate the magic, another factor the film will cover.
As of now, the film does not have a premiere date.
