He also has a new Proof tattoo to honor his best friend:)

EMINEM and his fellow D-12 rappers have licensed a production run of the T-shirts they wore to slain bandmate PROOF’s funeral to raise money for his family.
Proof – real name DESHAUN HOLTON – was shot dead in a Detroit,
Michigan, nightclub in April (06) after he reportedly opened fire on a bouncer at the CCC venue.
Close friend Eminem paid his respects during an emotionally charged service claiming, “Without Proof, there would be no Eminem, no Slim Shady.” He is now urging fans who also wish to commemorate Proof’s life to wear the same Big Proof Forever T-shirt he sported at the ceremony, and buy a limited edition poster at BigProof4Ever.com.

Yung Felon teaches you the reality of the streets of Chicago.
Ain’t No Rules is introduced by some dark bass sounds, rhythmic beats contrasting with lighter violin and bagpipe notes. Yung Felon is telling you his story. Follow him in the hood where survival is a constant struggle. Ain’t no rules on the streets where murder is law.
His words are winged and run on high speed. Enjoy the instrumentally rich track to the fullest.
The Struggle is an incisive track that will make you bleed like knife cuts. Yung Felon never shies away from drawing a realistic and quite dramatic picture of his daily environment made of life takers, right stealers and rhyme biters.
For sure, the man can flow and will introduce you into a universe with no mercy. A nice violins background combined with keyboard sounds will make you feel the harsh struggle in an environment where faith is necessary more than anything else.
Dark, offensive, Yung Felon appears as a menace in his I Am A Threat. A menace to his rival rappers. Lyrically murderous, Young Felon spits his rhymes with confidence.
Run Dis Do My Niggaz is a club song. True hustler, Young Felon will allow you to step up into a filthy universe made of bitches and pimps. Watch Yung Felon and his fellows run the game.

Dear readers and artists,
Dont get mad at me if I am telling you that I dont have time right now: it is a matter of fact I am mad busy right now. It is Summer time and it should take time to relax, but, actually, I can’t.
At the beginning of the New Year, I made several wishes for 2006.
The good news is that one of those wishes is about to come true. I will be leaving my hometown for an English speaking country. I am moving to London in early August.
The reasons why I am doing it are numerous, but they are mainly motivated by my personal ambitions.
People who know me -in real life or on the net- know how much passionate I am about hip hop and writing. Hopefully, London City will give me the opportunity to catch a real deal (a financial deal) with a hip hop magazine.
If some British hip hop magazine owners are currently reading this article, you have a person in front of you who has a REAL passion about the music and an experience of several years as a music journalist who would be willing to work with people sharing the same passion and with good working ethics. Leave me a comment and a contact address if youre interested, Id be more than happy to work with you.
I am closing a chapter of my life. London will be a brand new start for me and I am happy to discover a city that is rich of a multi-cultural environment.
In August, I might not be able to write on the media I own immediately. At least, not with the same frequency I used to write my articles during all those years. I might not have an internet connexion straight away, so I am asking you for a little bit patience.
However, I want you readers to know that I wont give up my passion for writing IN ANY CASE.
I will keep writing for the Eminem blog, blogit, my space and Detroit rap and will keep you updated with life in the British Capital.
Before I leave, Id like to thank all the people who always believed in me- Gavin Sheridan, in particular, for being the first to give me my chance as a writer, and Detroit’s ILL mag for allowing me to get published into a real hip hop magazine. I am grateful to you all.
No obligation, but some of you who would like to make a little donation in order to help me out with my projects, can do it at my space: on my personal space account, there is a paypal button. Thank you so much:)
Anyway, thanks to all of you who support me. Your nice words, comments and encouragements are balsam to my heart.
To the haters, the bitches, the jealous pricks, the backstabbers and all of my enemies: keep talking, keep bitching, keep backstabbing. I dont give a fuck, I AM gonna make it in the end, because I am determined to succeed. Those who have done wrong to me will get their “reward” sooner or later without me retaliating in return.
Ok, dear readers, those few words were to let you know about my projects. I am doing this for you, me and for the love of hip hop.
Feel free to post your comments and advices. Thanks for reading me, always.

Proof wouldn’t want us to stop. All the artists he influenced, in his honor we are going to keep the ball rolling. We going to keep smashing. Keep coming out with the illest lyrics, the dopest beats. ‘Till the world reconnects itself with Detroit and what we doing.

Rating: 4.5 stars
You can kill as many emcees as you want: you can’t kill talent. Despite Big Proof’s murder last April, his music and spirit will live on. Deshaun Holton was Iron Fist’s CEO. The remaining IF members are determined to keep Proof’s vision and dream alive. Open your ears and be ready for a hot, lyrical mixtape. Detroit is in the house and only incredible talents are featured on the mixtape. Not only will you hear the IF crew, but also great local Detroit talents such as, Obie Trice, Swifty, Hash and Reag of I-Mac and D12’s DJ, Salam Wreck. The artists featured on that mixtape don’t need to claim the ‘Detroit king’ title, they already own the crown.
Enough said! Be ready for some explosive lyrics mixed up with some hot sounds and beats.
Introduced by Chino XL, Obie, Hex Murder and Chief, the mixtape is a moving tribute to Big Proof. Moment of silence.
It is followed by track Nr 2, So Good, a Proof freestyle that is built on nice vocals, violins and drum sounds. Everybody knows the great emcee’s name. Proof will be remembered for ever.
Shoot First, a beautiful Supa Emcee/ Hash collaboration introduces you into a dark atmosphere. Numerous violins combined with rhythmic drums will make you enjoy both emcees’ lyrical bullets to the fullest. Feel the heartbeat alike drums that will draw you a realistic picture of life in the Detroit hood. Stress, drugs, anger, killings are part of the Murda Mitten’s scary landscape.
Hostyle’s nice flow delivery is totally enlightened by track Nr 4, Cheap Shots.
Back Up will allow you to enjoy the Woof Pac crew’s skills. Keyboards, piano and electronic sounds, drums and dope ass beats make this track highly enjoyable. Nice gangsta track. Get crunk with Woof Pac in no time and enjoy the rhythmic melody.
Salam Wreck introduces you into well known Proof themes on track 6.
Ill drum beats, bass sounds will alllow you to step into an lyrical overheated Purple Gang track entitled I.F.P.G.
Purple Gang are taking over with their immense talent.
Proof’s track, Respect, featuring K.B and Hash, is a very rhythmic track where the three emcee will show some incredible lyrical skills. Keyboards, drums, guitar sounds intensify the offensive atmosphere of the track. Matter of fact: you can’t fuck with them.
The Keeping The Dream Alive mixtape is rich of many beautiful and unique tracks. Among the 30 songs featured on it, I particularly recommend you Big Proof’s Ride Out, (a wonderful track I discovered around 2003 and that I never stopped playing since then), Supa Emcee’s Don’t Get Me Mad, Hash’s Suicide song.
To tell you the truth, I enjoyed each song on the IF mixtape. This mixtape is perfect for authentic hip hop lovers.
