Obie Trice Off Of Shady Records?
Last week, a rumor surfaced that Shady/Interscope artist Obie Trice had been dropped from his label.
Allegedly, a friend of Aftermath artist Bishop Lamont discovered that Trice had been “dropped off of the label for unknown reasons.”
Trice, who was scheduled to release his third solo album Bottoms Up this year, released a track addressing the situation. The song, titled “The Giant,” addresses the situation:
“Well, no more Shady. Guess it was meant/For me to branch off from my Caucasian friend/Nope, no more 2nd place to Eminem/Question if i was 2nd is the question to many men/No disrespect to Em, he’s first/Anything after, research the verses.”
Though Obie’s debut Cheers went platinum, his following album Second Round’s On Me was hampered by controversy surrounding the “stop snitching music,” preventing the emcee’s lead single to receive air play.

Nas Signs on to Endorse Fila
Nas has broken his tradition of sidestepping brand partnerships and inked a one-year partnership with athletic apparel company Fila, Billboard can reveal.
Fila will offer reciprocal financial support for Nas’ print and TV ad campaign as well as his upcoming tour in support of his untitled album, due July 15 via Def Jam. In return, the MC will wear Fila products and co-create an apparel line that draws from fashions of the late ’80s.
“My best friend Will and I loved Fila,” Nas says. “It represented prestige and everything that was cool to us. When Will passed, we buried him in a black Fila sweat suit, so doing a deal with them has a lot of significance for me.”
According to Fila president John Epstein, it was a natural match. “One of my executives spotted Nas shopping in our Manhattan store and struck up a conversation with him,” Epstein says. “Nas isn’t interested in selling out. He’s interested in being true, and that fits with our brand.”
