Atlanta MC Young Scooter is currently serving time in DeKalb County Jail on charges of probation violation. The Southern up-and-comer was arrested—after being pulled over while driving with a suspended driver’s license—on Monday, April 8 for violating the terms of his probation, but that hasn’t stopped him from releasing new music. With 50 days left in his bid, XXL got the opportunity to talk to Scooter over the phone about his writing process while in jail, being cellmates with Gucci Mane and what to expect from his upcoming From The Cell Block To Your Block mixtape.—Emmanuel C.M. (@ECM_LP)
XXL: First off, how are you right now? How’s your mind state?
Young Scooter: I’m ready to get out and get back to my fans. Get ready to do what I need to do.
What’s your day-to-day like?
Really just be writing, and watching TV. There really ain’t too much to do. [Laughs] [I’m] not writing a lot, because I don’t write when I’m on the street, I just go in the booth. I don’t write. So the writing is really new to me, I’ve really just been putting it together like that. From time to time I write, but really I’ve just been doing a lot of thinking.
Got it. So since you’ve been locked up, Chief Keef has signed to Brick Squad. Did you have any part in that?
Yeah, Gucci told me that he and Keef were putting something together, but Chief Keef, that’s my brother. I’ve talked to him since I’ve been in. He know what’s up.
Music-wise, what can fans expect when you come out?
More good music for the streets and more inspirational music. More of the same way, just uptempo. A lot of energy with my music, just turn it up a notch.
Did you write From The Cell Block To Your Block before you went in?
Yeah I had a lot of songs before I came in. Yeah. Actually, I’m releasing it before I get out. I’m releasing the mixtape August 26th, and it’s crazy. It’s like 16 songs on there. Just for my fans, like I’ve got a lot of music, even the music I recorded before I came in. I got 2 albums already recorded, mixtapes, everything. It’s crazy.
Gucci was your reportedly your bunkmate at one point. What did you two talk about?
We just really talking about how we don’t need to be in this situation, how we really have got to do better. We’ve got a lot of fans, a lot of people depending on us, mainly our family and kids. For being a rapper, we’ve got a lot of fans, and they don’t want to see us incarcerated. And both of us being in the same cell that was like kind of crazy.
How do you stay up-to-date with information now? Do people come visit and give you updates or is it through TV?
Nah just my team. I’ve got a team, my Black Migo team, they’re doing what they need to do for me. Like Keisha, Sean.
So, you’re out in 50 days. Name a couple things that you can’t wait to do as soon as you’re a free man.
I can’t wait to see my kids, get back to doing what I’m doing. I can’t wait to keep counting some money. I can’t wait to get back to my fans and just to the studio really. I can’t wait get back and smoke some herbs. [Laughs]
Twitter is still going crazy for you with the #FreeScooter movement. Do you think, after you get out, being incarcerated is going to put you on another level?
Yeah I think it would. I don’t got no music that will make me fail. Like I said, my music is for the struggle, and people who are trying to get some money. I’m not trying to make no slow music. Not saying slow music, because that’s not bad. I’m just trying to say the type of music I’m making is money making. Count music.
What have you learned in the rap game since you’ve started?
Well in the rap game I learned that you’ve gotta—it’s all about talent, you can’t just rush into it because it takes years to get hot. Not even years, it’s really about a song, or nobody just going to buy into your music if you’re just saying anything. So it’s got to be the right time and the right song. You’ve really got to make a name for yourself to keep going and just don’t give up. You’ve got to keep going.

Well… Let me start off by saying.. I enjoy supporting other entrepreneurs like myself who are striving to get their brand out there or striving to get their business to be successful. So with that said.. I purchased two lipsticks from my aunt who is selling Avon.
In all honestly, I never really thought about buying Avon makeup but I said why not support? So I purchased two lipsticks from her after checking out a couple of her catalogs. I will admit Avon has some pretty good deals as well as pretty lipstick colors.
As you see in the picture above, I purchased two colors that looked fabulous in the catalog. One by the name of ‘ Radiant Peony’ and the other ‘Brilliant Ruby’. I am actually wearing ‘Brilliant Ruby’ in the picture above and I loveeeee it! It is so pigmented and glossy with little sparkles in it. I am a “matte lipstick type of girl” but I would definitely recommend this to those in need of a bright Summer day lipstick. As for the ‘ Radiant Peony’ , I am disappointed! I expected a little more pigment. But if you’re looking for a shimmery colorless lipstick definitely stick to that.
In the picture above, I went for a nice bright but settled daytime look. A pop of color with a bronzed cheek bone. And of course, ’Brilliant Ruby’ lined with ‘REDD’ by MAC.

23-year-old Dream Records and Gwap Boy’s artist Dick debuts his fist solo track “Doing Me Wrong” featuring Young Moe. After a rough run in with the law at a younger age the talented singer & songwriter turned to music as way to share his experiences. His tack “Doing Me Wrong”, which speaks on a love that he slowly begins to lose during his time in jail, has already gained a lot of attention after his YouTube video was picked up WorldStarHipHop. Look out for Dick’s solo EP set to drop later this fall.

Well there is something rather fabulous about Kenya Moore right now and I’d say it’s her bank account. US Weekly is reporting that the craziest newbie to “Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast last season is returning for season 6, which, c’mon, is a surprise to no one. The real news is how much the former pageant queen is getting paid to come back — $600,000, plus the opportunity for bonuses based on the ratings. With income like that, it’s no surprise a source told US:
“Kenya is very happy to be back!”
Shoot, we would be too. Kenya is quickly gaining on her RHOA cast members, who despite being vets in the reality TV game, only make slightly more money than her considering this will only be Kenya’s second go ’round.
“NeNe [Leakes], Kim [Zolciak] and Kandi [Burruss] make $800,000 a season but they can make more for doing certain special things, like Kim taking off her wig,” another source previously told US. “Phaedra and Porsha make $50,000 per season.”
I can’t imagine that last figure being correct because there’s no way in hell Phaedra, an attorney who argues for a living, couldn’t negotiate more than $50K for being on the show. But for Nene and Kandi, that number sounds about right, though there were reports earlier this year that Nene renegotiated her contract and was slated to bring in $1 million per season. Whether the figure is $800,000 or a milli, she’s doing quite well. If Kenya keeps up her crazy antics for another season — and Nene keeps shading reality stars — she might end up being the top earner of the show in the end. What do you think?
