Lil Wayne Announces New Addition To YMCMB... 14 Year Old Torion Sellers

In the 2nd installment of Lil Wayne's Public Service Announcements, Weezy and Mack Maine took the time to announce the newest member of the Young Money Cash Money family--14 year old Torion Sellers.  Watch below as the talented kid performs "I'll Be There" and Eric Benet's "Sometimes I Cry."  His talent really shines through when he kills it on the dance floor to Chris Brown's "Look At Me Now."

I see the potential in Torion, so I completely understand why Mack Maine and Lil Wayne see him as the perfect fit for YMCMB. Busta...not so much.

Breaking News: Heavy D Passes Away At 44

UPDATES (Courtesy of TMZ):

11.11.11

Heavy D will be laid to rest at a very private funeral ceremony in New York next Friday -- and TMZ has learned only a select number of the rapper's famous friends have been invited to attend. 

We're told Heavy's family has organized a public viewing on Thursday -- and anyone who wants to pay tribute to the hip hop legend is encouraged to show up.

But the following day, the burial service is V.I.P. only -- and the invite list only includes close members of Heavy's family and dear friends, such as Diddy, Mary J. Blige, a few of the Wayans brothers ... and others. 

We're told Eddie F and G-Whiz -- former members of Heavy D and the Boyz -- are also on the invite list.

11.08.11

5:12 PM:  An associate of Heavy D's just told us the rapper had pneumonia.
4:28 PM:  Law enforcement tell TMZ ... Heavy D had just returned from shopping and walked up some stairs when he began having trouble breathing.  Adam Mills, a designer who was in the building and knew Heavy D, found him leaning against a railing and clearly in distress.  Adam tells us he cradled Heavy D in his lap as others called 911.  Adam says Heavy D was conscious and said to him, "I can't breathe, I can't breathe."  When paramedics took Heavy D to the hospital he had a pulse.  People in the building are saying he died of a heart attack, but we have not been able to confirm that.  Law enforcement sources tell us ... no foul play was involved and so far they only know the cause of death was "medical."

Which Album Title Do You Like Best For T.I.'s Upcoming Album?

T.I.'s been working like a mad man since being released from prison, and he's already been in the lab recording songs like there's no tomorrow.  In a recent sit down with Rolling Stone, T. I. mentioned that he had two album titles he was considering:

“The first of two album titles I’m debating is Kill The King because in all that I’ve gone through I’ve observed how people respond to my circumstances, and I always wonder ‘Why ya’ll coming at me like this?’ But I thought, ‘How do you expect them to act?’” he explains. “Life is a game of chess and the object is to kill the king. If you anoint yourself king, you have made yourself a target. The second one is self-explanatory – Trouble.

I feel like Kill The King is definitely the better choice, but we'll see! What do you think?
