Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) just received a sexual harassment and assault lawsuit from Arns Davis Law and Brandon Banks Law, according to a press release. Moreover, the firms represent two anonymous women – referred to as Jane Doe and Jane Roe in the court documents – who accused several employees and executives of these crimes, which also include breach of contract. One of the women, who allegedly started working at the record label in 2019, claims that its Chief Marketing Officer Brandon Tiffith tried to sleep with her via unwanted advances and sexually battered her. Also, she alleges that the label's current president Anthony "Moosa" Tiffith, Jr. consistently displayed behaviors of sexual harassment.
Higher-ups at Top Dawg Entertainment allegedly ignored these incidents when they became aware of them, which is why the legal team bringing forth the lawsuit is alleging a culture of hostility and complacency when it comes to these issues.

I of course encourage everyone to read the whole interview, but I will leave some snippets below.
Sorry mods, there was no headline so I stole the one I saw on Twitter.
AA: I know some unreleased Hussle music has trickled out over the past while, but is there more unreleased music from Nip? And when might we get to hear it?
Blacc Sam: Yep. There's a lot, man. A lot of unreleased music. Full bodies of work. Classics. Complete songs. Features that he did with people that nobody's heard. We wanted to make sure that, number one, we didn't rush anything and do anything, you know, not tasteful as the family, and we made sure that we put the energy towards the documentary coming out soon. And when the documentary is ready to come out, we go and put together a soundtrack to the documentary with many of these unreleased records and not try to compile a new album that he didn't compile. Hussle's album is ‘Victory Lap’; anything else is an unreleased record.
There's a lot of time difference in some of these records. Some were done when he was young, still classic, but then some were done when he was much older, so you can hear the difference in the voice. I think it's more fitting that it goes to the soundtrack of the documentary, which in the doc goes through his younger days and his older days, so you'll be able to put these songs on and plug and play when these songs were created. The documentary is almost done. It's going to be nine episodes. We should be finishing it by the end of this year.
And then there's another project that he actually worked on…I don't know if we want to, but we probably could. This is the perfect time. It's with him and Bino. There was a second project he did with Bino. We're putting that together and trying to figure out when we release it.

AA: The 'Crenshaw' hoodies and t-shirts are iconic. Going back to the inception of that, were you intending for those to stay local? Were you surprised when people started rocking them globally?
Blacc Sam: I first saw Nip's video for 'Hussle In The House' when I was in prison. I was on my way home and had six months left, so I was communicating and was happy bro was doing good. I had never seen the music video and they let us see the music video. Everybody was standing on the floor in the middle of the night, watching the music video. It was in a 200-man dorm. Nobody was lying down. The riot team came in thinking there was about to be a riot because at nighttime there is usually only about ten people in the day room but the whole unit was up standing. People yelling like bro is on TV. Hussle had on the blue Crenshaw crewneck, and everybody in the video had their own blue Crenshaw crew neck on. The video was epic. You could hear a pin drop in there. They were like man, that's crazy. That's your neighborhood. That's where you guys from. After that, the sweater was iconic, as you say...
