Big U Speaks Out Before Facing RICO Charges, Claims Industry Figures Played a Role
In a shocking moment for the hip-hop community, music executive Big U recently shared some serious news on Instagram. He announced that he had been charged with conspiracy related to a federal law aimed at tackling organized crime. Before he turned himself in to authorities, Big U took the opportunity to explain his side of the story. “This might be my last video,” he said calmly but firmly. He faced some heavy accusations related to serious crimes and didn’t hold back from discussing the situation. He pointed out that two well-known figures in the industry, Wack 100 and 600, played a part in the charges against him.
He claimed that 600 was actually with the police during a raid on his home, suggesting a deep sense of betrayal. “He’s got video footage of it, so everyone knows what’s going on,” he added, clearly frustrated and dismissing the allegations as nonsense. Big U’s choice to speak directly to his fans before the legal process begins shows he wants to be open about what’s happening. “I’m going to turn myself in and see what’s going on,” he explained, reflecting a defiant attitude and uncertainty about the future. In a time when social media allows public figures to share their stories and control their messages, Big U’s candid approach brings a personal touch to this ongoing legal situation.
He also mentioned that federal agents are interested in his troubled relationships with Wack 100 and another associate, Luce Cannon, implying that personal conflicts might have played a part in the investigation against him. We’ll have to wait and see if there’s any truth to these accusations, but Big U’s determination to stand by his story has already started conversations throughout the hip-hop scene. For now, Big U’s Instagram video acts as both a claim of innocence and a challenge to those he believes have contributed to his troubles.

Mamas Gun and Brian Jackson shines light on the truth on latest release “DIG!”
Mamas Gun makes a strong comeback with their new single “DIG!.” The track sounds more like a strong statement of intent than just a release. The UK band is known for its smooth blend of blue-eyed soul and traditional black music. They show once again that they can make music that sounds both thoughtful and very new, while still being real, emotional, and sophisticated.
“DIG!” was recorded directly onto analogue tape, and every note has warmth, grit, and soul. The production choice gives the music a rich, natural sound that complements the band’s unique groove. It is a piece of music that makes people slow down, really listen, and experience it rather than hear it.
Adding famous collaborator Brian Jackson, whose vocals, keyboard, and flute give the song a timeless elegance, adds even more depth and magic. Jackson is known for working with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Gil Scott-Heron, Roy Ayers, and Earth, Wind & Fire. His addition makes the song something truly special. His reunion with Andy Platts, the lead singer of Mamas Gun, almost twenty years after they first worked together creatively in New York, gives “DIG!” a very personal touch that can be felt throughout. “DIG!” sets a strong mood based on connection, art, and essence. Mamas Gun not only goes back to their roots but also makes them stronger. This song is heartfelt, timeless, and completely captivating.

Bromsen crafts a suspension between attachment and release in new single “Concendrain”
Bromsen’s latest release, “Concendrain,” is very immersive and lives in the space between control and disintegration. The song smoothly shifts from focused to tired, from connected to free, and captures a complex emotional balance that is both personal and universal.
“Concendrain” starts slowly and carefully, the structure has layers that change over time, so each part can come out on its own without any stress or hurry. As time goes on, electronic textures begin to emerge, giving the music a mood that eventually turns into rock-infused energy. These different sounds don’t clash, they work together to create a track that is alive, fluid, and always changing.
The guitar, voice, and rhythm should all work together on the song. These parts don’t compete for attention; instead, they work together to make a smooth flow that pulls the listener into the song’s emotional depth. The arrangement features vocals that complement complex guitar lines and a steady beat that keeps everything in line.
“Concendrain” is really interesting because it has two sides. The track is about the fight in your head between giving up and pushing through, and between staying focused and giving in to tiredness. Bromsen and Reatsch work together to make something that looks natural and well-made. “Concendrain” doesn’t try to be cool or follow trends. Instead, it gives you a slow experience that you should really pay attention to. “Concendrain” is a powerful and thought-provoking work that sticks with you long after the last note has faded away. It stands out because its structure changes, its atmosphere is rich, and its emotions are strong.
