Voltio goes into the worst prison in PR. It’s called Oso Blanco and was closed down because of the inhumane conditions and practices. Oso was home to some of most ruthless cats but shoot those who without sin…you know the rest. I think it’s back open. Either way Voltio had the cojones to perform there and show love to some of peeps that have taken the wrong path.

Ay! Where’s Term been at? Working like a mofo and prepping to go on tour with Cormega. Check below for Term and Mega’s UK tour. Term is also working on his official debut untitled album, which he hope to drop in April ’08 via a joint venture with his ST. Records. Wanna know who the lucky label is; stay tuned mi gente. After that Term is releasing an album produced by Fizzy Womack aka Lil’ Fame. Mash it out homeboy!

Check out the new hood video (“I Am”) from Garcia. While other MCs deal with label drama this Miami cubano is ripping the underground. He don’t need no major label, all he needs is a mike.

Check the “Go Girl” video and let me know if you pickin up Pit’s Boatlift album today. At least Trina looks thick as always.

Peep that last ish of XXL with Jigga on the cover. They interview pop-turnt-rap producer Steve Morales on how he works with Celine Dion and Fabolous. The dude has done all the pop hits other rap producers wanna make and just now he’s dipping into hip-hop. Dude is that serious.

Cubana reggaetonera Mayra Veronica dropped by Iraq to give some of our peeps fighting in Bush’s war. Below is some video live from her trip with some troops behind her. It aired a Telefutura gossip show with GMILF Charityn as a host. Check the bootyful clip of her below and the link of her in Iraq below that.

Dat Dude:
Peedi Peedi is one of the most underrated MCs. Want proof go here and listen to his latest. Is he still on the Roc? If so, put Tru-Life on the back burner and drop his m**f**kin album.

Are those cats from MTV’s Menudo show too sweet for our taste? Then perhaps C-Note is more to your liking; actually let’s face it, to your girls liking. Josh of C-Note gave a Goya a call to let him know the deal on their Tony Touch collabo.

Here’s the new video for “Where You At” by JR Writer. It’s directed by Dan the Man, the dude who’ll shoot ya a dope video on a hoof budget. Thick chicks in army fatigues is cool but I don’t get the war concept.

This seems to be taken from some Hot 97/Allhiphop concert (yea I know the comp) and it’s a good 10 minutes of Joell Ortiz performing. Don’t have to say more about duke…he’s a beast…witness it.

Ya homeboy who’s fighting W. Bush’s war will be getting a nice surprise…more like two nice big ones. Why? Cause reggaetonera/model Mayra Veronica is going onto the Persian Gulf on the USO Tour. She’s be joined by comedian Russell Peters and Mr. I Bang 18-year White Chicks Wilmer Valderrama.

Diplomat JR Writer seems to be riding high his own success. Having inked a million-dollar deal with indie Babygrande (for distribution of his own label) el dominicano is set to make a name for himself outside the shadows of his bickering bosses. XXLmag caught up with duke and got the skinny on his deal among other thangs. Writer’s Block 5 drops Nov. 20.

Say what you say about Cuban Link the dude is always doing something. Below you find BP’s homeboy on a track by this cat named Zaturno, who I think is chileno. Either way it’s dope barrio track called “Asi Yo Soy.”

How in the world is DJ Khaled so damn cnnected? He's got Weezy, Fat Joe, Jeezy, Luda on the remix to "I'm So Hood" and Joell Ortiz, Plies in the video. Props to the ultimate hustlin' DJ.

What happens when your record label wants to juice you out of more money? They put out a remix LP. Toby Love is getting the remixed treatment on Toby Love Reloaded. It features remixes and one new song! Yay! Yeah, wack. But anyway the joint features Voltio, Magic Juan, Fanny Lu, Héctor El Father, Jorge Celedón and Pitbull on the remixes so it ain’t all a waste.

So my homes HD came through with Jigga tix for last night. The show was cool from motionless Jay but the ending was something to write about. Half bori DJ, Green Lantern, was the concert main mixer and duke made the night.

Tito El Bambino’s new music video for “El Tra” is below. Dude is cool and does good music but why does he find the need to always have two men beside him when dancing. If you’re not singing with your four brothers you shouldn’t be doing such things.

On Nov. 29th Fat Joe and NFL great Carl Banks will be honored at the City College University of New York by In Arms Reach, Inc., an organization dedicated to granting more access to children who have incarcerated parents. I’m sure there’s a lot of ish Joe does that don’t get the press it deserves so cheers to the Don.

The BYI homies are getting some more love than a chick at an all boys school (pause). And rightfully so; the crew headed by LuLu and brought to the masses through the lyrics of Omar Cruz and beats by Rome are muf**kin’ movement. Their hometown TV station know the dealy. Check this clip from LATV.

First SOHH On The Scene catches him at a Saigon shoot now Tru-Life is in the new Jigga video (“Roc Boys”). Seems like he’s still down with the Def Jam prez but where’s the album? You had all this buzz off of you dissing the Dips and nada. You pulled a Cam’ron. Put out an LP, homes.

So we all know some Latinos don’t take full pride in their culture; as a result [Si] Entertainment outed a couple of “DLL (Down Low Latinos” recently. The piece was called “Off the Radar” and targeted everyone from Maxwell to good ol’ boy Fabolous. Here’s what they had to say about Loso.

Don’t get the concept for this new WYY video for “Sexy Movimiento” but hey there’s a lot of T&A so who cares. But on the real I wasn’t paying attention because the ass got in the way. Keep an eye on shorty in the first couple of seconds. Nalgas for days and bosom for months.

Wisin y Yandel are making some serious moves. The duo has recently partnered with Zune in order to make a custom WYY product. The WYY 30 GB came out on Oct. 29 and it comes preloaded with the reggaetoneros’ new album Wisin vs. Yandel Los Extraterrestres, in addition to exclusive music, videos, and live concert footage from their tour. Go here ,WYY Zune,for more on this joint.

Here are pics from Pit’s new video for the Trina-assisted “Go Girl.” Trina in a video and no ass shots! Preposterous!

Check how Pit looks like a mini-me next to Fat Joe. And also check the random Benzino appearance.
