An up and coming rapper named Motoe Blizzid is suing Atlanta rapper T.I. for copyright infringement for the song “What You Know.”

According to AllHipHop.com Motoe Blizzid, who’s real name is Nathan Filby, claims that “What You Know” samples part of his song “Reverence.” Blizzid also revealed that he shopped his song to several people in the music industry before it was allegedly received by a representative for a company that works with T.I.

T.I., nor a representative for the rapper, have acknowledged Motoe Blizzid’s claims.

In other Hip Hop news, rapper Mystikal made a recent appearance on Whoo Kid and Coach PR’s radio show on Shade 45. Mystikal, who was recently released from prison, spoke on Master P, returning to music, support from fans, and even Haiti.

“No matter how messed up you think your situation is there’s always somebody going through something worse. Look at Haiti man,” Mystikal explained to Whoo Kid and Coach PR. “I was in that place [New Orleans] when Katrina happened. When an event like that happens you not worried about yourself no more.”

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, rapper Bishop Lamont revealed that he will finally be releasing new music now that he is no longer on Aftermath Records.

“We’re about to finally bless the world with a lot of music,” Bishop Lamont told the Los Angeles Times. “It got to the point where it wasn’t fair to the fans or to myself to have to keep on waiting…There’s a lot of crazy records I got to take with me. There’s a J Dilla record that I got with the blessing of DJ House Shoes. Tracks from DJ Khalil, Lord Finesse, 9th Wonder, Mr. Porter, Focus, basically a who’s who of underground Hip Hop.”

Bishop Lamont announced in early January that he was no longer on Aftermath Records; reports claim that upon his departure Bishop Lamont left with hundreds of his masters.
