Tenants of 395 Hudson Street where New York's Hot97 operates are up-in-arms over the continued violent eruptions at the station and are demanding the building's landlord take strict action.

Hot97's recent shooting incident involving The Game and 50 Cent has neighbors of the hip-hop radio station in fear for their lives and demanding action by the building's owner. The shooting is the second incident of gun violence in or around the station's offices, located in Manhattan's West Village. Four year's ago on Feb 25, 2001, a shooting erupted in front of the building after CNN and Lil' Kim visited the station to promote the release of the DJ Clue album, The Professional--Part 2.

The station shares the building with several unions including the Carpenters and Joiners of America, United Brotherhood, Dock Builders Local Union 1456, New York City District Council, Linoleum & Carpet Layers union along with the Women's Rights and Legal Defense organization and Private Equity Week magazine among others. The unions have complained about the safety of the building and are asking the landlord to impose a strict visitation changes which will restrict the number of station visitors to no more that two at a time.

"We've had numerous incidences where a posse of people come in and rush up to the security station, mill about in the lobby and all go up to the station together," said Brian O'Dwyer, the attorney representing the unions. "Our tenants have come to us... they are terrified to be in that building."

Hot97's spokesperson, Alex Dudley, has issued a response to the complaint, stating that they are working with the landlord to reach a "mutually acceptable resolution" and point out that "no incidents have occurred inside the building."

Today, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and Jayceon "The Game" Taylor are scheduled to make peace and charitable donations during a press conference at Schomburg Center For Research in Black Culture in Harlem, New York.

After feuding for the past week, 50 and Game announced that they're making amends. Just when the feud seemed to be escalating, 50 told Angie Martinez, during another Hot 97 interview on Monday, that he would extend an olive branch to his former protégé, Game.

Today, Fiddy and Chuck Taylor are holding a press conference at Schomburg Center to donate money to the Harlem Boys Choir and the Compton Unified School District Music Program. The combined donations will allow the Harlem Boys Choir Academy to reach their fundraising goal to receive a matching grant.

"I'm launching a new foundation, the G-Unity Foundation, Inc., to help people overcome obstacles and make a change for the better in their lives...to help them overcome their situations," 50 Cent said in a statement. "I realized that if I'm going to be effective at that, I have to overcome some of my own. Game and I need to set an example in the community."

The Game added, "I see this as a real opportunity to show the power of our community. 50 and I are proving that real situations and real problems can be solved with real talk. This can also be seen as a big step for my organization, Black Wall Street, in terms of making a difference. Maybe we can help save some lives...the way rap music saved mine."
