JUVENILE'S DAUGHTER WAS MURDERED

Cops in Georgia arrested a 17-year-old boy on Friday and charged him with killing his mother, who was a local sheriff’s deputy, and his two small sisters. One of those little girls was the daughter of rapper Juvenile. Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr. allegedly gunned down his mother, Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Deputy Joy Deleston, 39, and her two daughters, Micaiah, 11, and Jelani, 4.

Our prayers and best wishes go out to the family.

DISTURBING THA PEACE SPLITS FROM DEF JAM

According to Sohh Gyant: "all hell is breaking loose on Ludacris DTP imprint. Apparently when the label brought all their R&B artists to perform at Spotlight for LA Reid, along with a bunch of industry heads in NYC earlier this week, the feedback was less then thrilling. The performances were SOHH lackluster that a source told me that LA told Luda that he can take his acts and “hit the road”. As of right now Bobby Valentino, Shareefa, and the extremely talented Stephan Jones, AKA Mr. Ordinaray has all been dropped. Sources close to Bobby claim that the artist plans on dropping his next untitled CD on iTunes. No word yet on where Shareefa, and Steph Jones will end up. Word on the streetz is that DTP heads are planning on severing ties with Def Jam over all the drama.”
Miss Info has even put in her two cents saying “Well, yes, I’m hearing some confirmation that DTP is leaving Def Jam, but that “it was a mutual agreement.” There were differences in vision between DTP and LA Reid and that Luda’s label wanted more of a major push.

R.I.P. - STEPHEN "STATIC MAJOR" GARRETT

Songwriter/artist/producer Stephen “Static Major” Garrett died unexpectedly on Monday in his hometown of Louisville, Ky. No official reports about his death are known, but many people are leaving their condolences on his myspace page. This is a major loss for the music industry.

Many of you may not know Static by face, but you definitely know his music. He was signed to the Blackground record label where he found his first breakthrough working with R&B singer Ginuwine. The single “Pony” became a major hit and a milestone in the careers of both Static and Timbaland. He then went on to produce Aaliyah’s “Are You That Somebody?” featured on the Dr. Dolittle soundtrack. Not to mention he produced many tracks for Aaliyah’s self-titled final album. Many of you may also remember him as part of the R&B trio, Playa, who were signed to the Def Jam record label. In recent months he was working on his new album, SUPPERTIME, which was slated to drop this year.

E3 would like to give our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Stephen Garrett. He will truly be missed, but will never be forgotten.
