According to WGNtv, a warrant Chief Keef’s arrest has been issued in Miami following an incident in 2012. The 17-year-old rapper was pulled over and caught with two bags of marijuana on his person. The officer who originally arrested Keef said that the Chicago rapper immediately admitted his possession of the drugs, and was ultimately charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana. Following the charge, a Miami judge ordered that Keef return to Florida for a hearing on January 23, 2013—the same time he was serving a two month sentence in a juvenile detention center in Illinois. As a result of the missed court date, a warrant for Keef’s arrest has been issued if he were to be stopped by police a second time in the Miami area. This marks the latest issue in the GBE impresario’s on-going legal saga. Earlier this week, he was arrested for a third time this year for trespassing on the same day that he was served with a second paternity lawsuit.

Vinylfy is a new start-up aiming to be the Facebook of the record collecting set. It’s only right that the young company is making moves to turn record collecting into a social media affair, since The Internet likes to keep track of everything these days. Now, you can organize your vinyl collection online and share wishlists, tweets, and details about your favorite wax copies with friends and other collectors. You can add records either manually or by searching through their database (which currently has about 15,000 records) or even import a list from Discogs or that enormous Excel file you’ve been keeping on your hard drive. Of course, the opportunities for music discovery are endless on a site like this, but to actually purchase new records, head to a site like Gemm to expand your catalog on Vinylfy. After a serious case of being in the right place at the right time, Jose Pimienta and Osniel Gonzalez applied for and received a $22,000 award from SuperConf just a week after they launched the site this past February. Since then, Vinylfy has accumulated 800 subscribers and they’re currently looking for investors to create an app and further develop the site. ”You cannot kiss an mP3,” laments Pimienta in the video below, so he’s trying to keep the love for vinyl alive by making it easy to share with your friends. Sounds pretty good to me. For those of us who prefer dusty grooves to digital coding, this could be a sign that vinyl really is making a comeback among music listeners more generally, not just a mainstay of hardcore DJs. So whip out that Midnight Marauders LP and start tweeting your favorite lyrics as you spin them.
