25 year-old British Hip-Hop Artist Kevin Georgiou, otherwise known as “K. Koke” was arrested in connection with shooting a man in the back in Harlesden Train Station on March 9th, strangely the same landmark date as when Jay-Z lost one of his best friends to gunfire, Notorious B.I.G.

Jay-Z signed the artist in January to his Roc-Nation label under the RCA umbrella.  K. Koke grew up in the Stonebridge section of London and often raps about the violent lifestyle he grew up in, resembling life in the projects of most artists who grew up in New York.  The artist deal for K.Koke was a joint venture between Roc Nation and Koke’s own Suspect Entertainment (probably not a great choice of words for right now), which was formed in 2005.

Georgiou is the 5th person arrested in the shooting incident, and is due to appear before Blackfriars Crown Court on June 15.

 

 

I caught up with Lane Garrison today outside of the International House Of Pancakes on Wilshire in the Miracle Mile District.  The “Prison Break” star had his own run in with the law and prison as a result of a drunk driving accident in which one of his teenage passengers lost his life.

The incident landed Lane in jail for 22 months, which he was released in April of 2009, and is still finishing out his 4 years of parole.  We spoke with him about his time in prison, and he said he feels blessed and lucky to have made it out alive.  When I asked him if he felt filming Prison Break could have prepared him in any way for what real prison had in store for him, he said no way, and gave comparisons between real life prison, and the prison set he worked on.  He also revealed that he will soon be doing work on NBC’s hit show, “The Event”.

Stay tuned to www.SunOfHollywood.com , we’ll soon be posting video of our talk with Lane Garrison.
