AND 1 Mixtape Star & Streetball Legend Tyrone "Alimoe" Evans Passes Away
Sad news to report today in the world of basketball as streetball legend and former AND 1 mixtape star, a family friend tells Hip-Hop Wired that Tyrone "Alimoe" Evans has passed away from complications following a stroke.
The Harlem, NY resident also known as "The Black Widow" rose to prominence during the street ball boom of the late 90s and early 2000s. The 6'7" player was known for his trademark ball handling skills despite his immense size, something only seen on a regular basis in the National Basketball Association.
Alimoe reached superstar status as one of the more popular players during the AND 1 Mixtape Tour. He stood out with famous street ball players of the era including Hot Sauce, The Professor, Main Event, The Air Up There, and many more. In an interview with Hoopsvibe in 2003, Evans said he wanted to be remembered as somebody that made somebody else get up and do better.
"They don't have to let me know that I lit their fire; just go out and do it.," said Evans. "They don't have to thank me and bring me out to the game; just go do it. Just knowing that that little kid watching me took something home with them. See, basketball is a teacher of life. The lessons you learn in basketball - don't be selfish, work hard, and treat everybody good - they're the same lessons in life."
Hip-Hop Wired sends its deepest condolences to the Evans family.

TCRA Imezifungia Stesheni za Redio Mbili na Kipindi Kimoja cha Clouds FM
Mamlaka ya mawasiliano Tanzania, TCRA kupitia kitengo cha maudhui imevifungia matangazo kwa muda wa miezi sita vituo vya radio viwili nchini kwa kukiuka maadili ya utangazaji.
Vituo hivyo ni pamoja na Kwa Neema FM ya Mwanza iliyofungiwa kwa kuendesha mjadala uliokuwa ukihusiana na watu wa dini gani wenye haki ya kuchinja wanyama kati ya waislam na wakristu hali iliyosababisha mgongano wa waumini wa dini hizo.
Kingine ni Imani Radio FM ya mjini Morogoro ambayo imefungiwa kwa kosa la kupinga zoezi la sensa mwaka jana na kuwashawishi waumini wa dini ya kiislam wasijiandikishe.
Nayo Clouds FM imepigwa faini kwa kuendesha mjadala kuhusiana na ushoga pamoja na kuwa na kipengele kwenye kipindi cha Power Breakfast kiitwacho ‘Jicho la Ng’ombe’ ambacho wametakiwa wakifute kutokana na kuendeshwa kinyume na maadili.

University Student Turns Girl to SNAKE for Money!!
A guy who schools in Houdegbe North American University Benin
Republic(HNAUB) was arrested, due to his action of turning a fellow
female student to a snake using supernatural powers.The guys are said to be 100 Level Business Administration Students of the above named University, to cut the explanation short, they’re freshers who wants to make quick money,they want to drive exotic cars, blast un-worked for money as a result of oppressing their fellow students who happened to struggle hard to complete their education. This culprit happened to travel to down to Port-Novo for the rituals according to the arrested guy.
Pictures of two girls were found in the box which contained the snake. The Snake in the box is actually one of the girls that was used,while the second girl’s head had already been chopped off.
It was a girl that stays in the same compound with them that noticed their strange movements and she therefore reported them to the police. Some of their girlfriends have actually been declared missing for some days now but no one ever imagined that they could have been used for money rituals until the moment they were arrested. People thought the girls had done their “crayfish waka” as usual, not knowing that the girls have been used for rituals.
