Power Lunch with DJ Lazy K and Celebrity Publicist Arie Goode

Hip Hop Spy caught up with DJ Lazy K and her publicist Arie Goode during a power lunch in NYC.

The duo were busy strategizing about Lazy K’s 2010 power moves.

We’ve heard rumors about reality television and new moves as a label exec, but Lazy remained tight lipped, with a smile & a wink she said:

“Without giving away too much I have a lot in the bag for 2010, stay posted and hit me on twitter @djlazyk”

We couldn’t resist asking one of the Lady OG DJs from NYC about Jeezy’s comments on Biggie, said Lazy K:

“He might be the Biggie of the south, he’s very talented, but nah…… on a universal level, he has a lot of work to do”

50 Cents British Movie “Dead Man Running” to Get U.S. Release

50 Cent x Dead Man Running. Just when we thought the U.S. film market would be spared from this British Indie film, the newly formed Phase 4 Films has acquired North American rights to the action thriller starring 50 Cent. To date, the film has grossed less than one million U.S. dollars. Although no exact date is set yet, Phase 4 plans to release the film this year.

” ‘Dead Man Running’ is a heart-pounding, fast-paced adrenaline rush with 50 Cent, who once again proves how multitalented he is, adept in crossing over from music to movies,” Phase 4 president and CEO Berry Meyerowitz said.

When the movie does hit theaters here in the U.S. don’t expect a huge release though. This will most likely only be shown in top major cities and for a limited run.
