Yayo pleads guilty

Thursday, 26 February 2004
G-Unit member Tony Yayo pleaded guilty to passport fraud in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, a move that his lawyers hope will lead to his freedom soon. While the G-Unit's 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks and Young Buck catapulted to fame in 2003, Yayo spent the year in prison on a bail-jumping charge. Just a day after being paroled January 8, he was picked up by authorities for presenting a fake passport to his parole officer. He's been in federal custody ever since.

Loon Charged

Thursday, 26 February 2004
Felony assault charges against Loon and two associates are now official. Loon, whose real name is Chauncey Hawkins, is charged with one count of assault with a deadly weapon, stemming from a stabbing at a West Hollywood nightclub earlier this month. Attached to that are two special allegation counts, one for use of a deadly weapon and one for use of a deadly weapon with intent to cause great bodily injury, both of which could add more prison time to the original count if Loon is found guilty.

Loon and two associates, William Reyes and Teon Tanqueray, were arrested in the early morning hours of February 13 after a security guard was stabbed at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip. Reyes and Tanqueray face the same charges as Loon. The district attorney formally filed the charges on Friday after receiving evidence from sheriff's detectives.

DMX Never Die Alone

Tuesday, 24 February 2004
Based on cult novelist Donald Goines' novel of the same name, Never Die Alone is a richly literate film noir about King David (DMX), a hard-boiled, stylish criminal who returns to his hometown seeking redemption but finding only violent death. But he did not die alone… King David's final moments are spent with Paul (David Arquette), an aspiring journalist who knows him for just a few minutes but is changed forever by their meeting. King David - half-preacher, half-Satan and all street smarts - gives Paul an audiotape with the story of his recent exploits that reveal King David's cycle of violence has come back on him full circle.

Never Die Alone, the first motion picture produced by DMX's film company Bloodline Films, opens in theaters everywhere on March 26. It features a score with music by DMX.
