This past weekend, a federal judge postponed The Notorious B.I.G. wrongful-death trial for lawyers to investigate a new tip that two corrupt police officers admitted to killing the rapper and that the LAPD covered up the information.

The Wallace family's attorney, Perry Sanders said the new information was acquired this past Thursday via a phonecall by a tipster believed to be a current or former Los Angeles Police Department officer. The tipster said he attended a police disciplinary hearing December 11, 2000, when two jailhouse informants shared that "they had information regarding confessions to this homicide" by incarcerated crooked cops David A. Mack and Rafael Perez, Sanders said.

According to Sanders, the caller, who identified himself as Frank, said the snitches "were advised to stop" speaking on the alleged confessions and the matter was kept under wraps. Mack is presently serving a 14-year prison sentence for armed robbery and Perez is serving time for his involvement in Los Angeles' Rampart police corruption scandal. The identities of the snitches, who were reportedly locked up with Perez, were not revealed, and there's no confirmation on the validity of their statements.

Police disciplinary hearings are taped and transcribed by a court reporter, therefore the judge ordered city attorneys to find records, share them with Biggie's family and report back today. The Wallace family is suing the City of Los Angeles and the LAPD, charging that Mack, serving as an agent for Marion "Suge" Knight's Death Row Records, murdered Big and that the LAPD covered up his actions. Unless Judge Florence Cooper calls for further delay, testimony is scheduled to resume tomorrow.

After two multi-platinum releases, Lil Jon is reportedly looking to part ways with TVT Records.

Sources say the King of Crunk will cease to promote additional singles from Lil Jon & The Eastside Boyz's double platinum Crunk Juice. To date the effort has produced singles like "What U Gon' Do" featuring Lil Scrappy, "Real ni99as Roll Call" with Ice Cube and "Lovers and Friends" featuring Usher and Ludacris. Apparently Jon told friends that he won't record another LP for TVT.

"He's unhappy," a source told New York's Daily News. "It's about money."

On the other hand, TVT President Steve Gottlieb told the Daily News, "Lil Jon and TVT have had huge success building the crunk movement together and we fully expect to enjoy even greater success in the future."

Jon helped shape TVT in to one of the U.S.'s biggest independent record companies. To date Jon has produced several chart-topping hits for Usher, Ciara and labelmates Ying Yang Twins. Aside from his TVT contract, Jon also has a label deal, the Warner Bros.-distributed BME Records. Acts on the roster include Lil Scrappy, Trillville and veteran Bay Area rapper E-40.

TVT recently got dealt a huge blow when an appeals court reversed a judge's ruling that would have ordered Island Def Jam and former exec, Lyor Cohen to fork up $53 million. TVT will now only receive $126,720. In the case, TVT accused Def Jam and Cohen of pulling out of an agreement to allow Def Jam artist Ja Rule to release an album with his Cash Money Click on TVT records. TVT said it would appeal the decision.

According to Dres, re-entering the game is just another chance at furthering the Black Sheep legacy and continuing their success.

In 1991, Black Sheep released their seminal debut "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing," which reached #30 on the Billboard charts and ended up selling over a million records.

The album spawned two massive singles, “The Choice is Yours” and “Flavor of the Month.”

"Our record plays in a party everyday of the year...a lot of artists can't say that," Dres said of his previous hits. "If we were to get paid for every time our album was played, we would be millionaires."

Guests on the album include Showbiz, Lord Finesse, Kwame, Dinky Bingham, Vitmain D, Bean One and others.

To commemorate their entrance back into the Hip-Hop scene, the duo will appear at the Knitting Factory on July 5th as a part of the Discipline Series.

We were going back and forth and feeling good about the music, man. It’s really about the music man and being able to carry that spirit to live performance, its gonna be something real special.”
