Click image to watch “A Conversation With…” LA Leakers
We had the privilege of visiting the Power 106 studios to speak to the world renown LA Leakers recently, and got the scoop on their background story and why they love representing LA to the fullest through remixes and putting people on to what’s going on out West through clubs, the radio or on their blog. The duo of DJ Sourmilk and Justin Credible have been taking over the airwaves and the Internet more and more over the past few years, conquering the best of both worlds in their own way.
In our conversation with them, they speak on the difference between the online world and radio world, what artists in LA we should be checking for, and how they both got their start DJ’ing (how Sourmilk got his name, too). They also have a public service announcement for everyone who gets mad at their LA Leaker tags on songs, and urge fans to buy the artists music if they support them hardbody. “Have a little dignity when you’re stealing music!!”
Get know DJ Sourmilk and Justin Credible through the interview above and stay tuned for their Leaks Of The Industry mixtape, dropping June 3, 2013.

Just a few weeks after landing a three-year, $6.9M dollar contract with the New York Jets; running-back Mike Goodson landed himself behind bars this morning with drug and illegal firearm possession. According to New Jersey enforcement, Goodson was passenger in a GMC Yukon with associate Garant Evans behind the wheel.
They were seen on Route 80 in the Denville section of NJ, which a local tow truck driver spotted them in the left center lane and immediately notified authorities. The two were arrested for “suspicion of possession of marijuana with less than 50 grams of drug paraphernalia in their possession; and on top of that, a loaded handgun containing hollow-point bullets. Evans, who already had prior felony convictions and traffic summonses, was arrested with the same charges as Goodson along with a DUI charge.
Both Mike and Garant were taken to Morristown jail, where Goodson was held on $50,000 bail. Whether he’s been released yet remains to be seen; but without football Sunday’s, Ray Lewis never lied.

Click image to watch Phil Jackson interview with Jay Leno
Phil Jackson might be one of the only human beings walking this earth that could make this comparison and give us great insight between the two, considering he won multiple championships each. So what does he say about both Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan? Well, they both have that competitive zeal that is unmatched. One thing that differentiates the two, is that Kobe let it stop on the court. Michael, on the other hand, carried it over to other aspects of life. Another thing that Mike had an advantage in over Kobe, was his knowledge of the game, after going to North Carolina University.
Phil talks about all of this and how he set up a meeting between the two, off the court, and MJ had a few words for the Black Mamba. He also spoke on what happened with him almost getting the coaching job back after the Lakers fired Mike Brown.
Watch his interesting conversation with Jay Leno, below.
