Through an email exchange between 'George'and Julia Beverly, who heads Ozone Magazine, a popular hip-hop publication that primarily focuses on artists from the South and West Coast, someone's shiesty business scheme has been put on front street.
George was responding to a Twitter post Beverly had made stating that she was acting as the middle-man for any artist looking to feature a verse from Louisiana rapper Lil Boosie on one of their records.

"As I read the initial email exchange, I was astounded by the scandalous nature of the transaction Beverly was attempting to broker."

Hello,
I saw on Julia Beverley’s twitter that Boosie has verses for sale. I’d like to know what the prices are.
Thank you
George

He’s looking for around $7k+ cash. This week only. He has several prerecorded verses already done. Price does not include label clearance.
This would actually appear to be a pretty good deal for an upcoming artist, given that Lil Boosie has a pretty descent sales record and a loyal following throughout Louisiana and some other Southern markets. The real problem is that she overtly revealed that this price does not include label clearance, meaning she was attempting to sell verses that could be used on a track, but ran the risk of being shut down at any time by the label if they were to catch wind of the existence of these records.
