Chris Brown and Drake’s nightclub brawl may cost them $16 million, Jay-Z’s ‘Made in America’ Festival will be turned into a movie, Bobby Brown just can’t shake the drugs, Mariah Carey wants to intervene on Rihanna’s partying and more in today’s UrbLinks.
I bet Chris Brown and Drake will think twice before throwing bottles in another club. They have been slapped with a lawsuit for “gross negligence,” “ultrahazardous activity” and “intentional illegal acts” that may cost the two artists $16 million. [Complex]

No, not the hip hop term “movie” when referring to something as being extremely amazing to watch, Jay-Z’s ‘Made In America’ festival going down in Philadelphia during Labor Day weekend will really be a movie filmed by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer. [NYPost]

If you missed Ice T’s documentary The Art Of Rap that was in limited theaters this summer you’re in luck. It will be available on DVD on September 18, 2012. Here’s an outtake with Kanye West where he speaks on writing down lyrics for the first time on his last solo album.

There are rumors floating that Mariah Carey wants to stage an intervention on Rihanna. That she was upset about the rumors that Rihanna might have reunited with Chris Brown and thinks she should slow down on the partying. Um, Mimi you are a little late and have your own kids to raise and maybe that’s why you’re late to the party on this one. If this news is true, I find it weird that as soon as you are back on the promo trail for your new music that you decide to comment. [UrbanDaily]

Alley Boy is on his way to living the hip hop dream being Atlantic Records latest signee and decided to put that on wax with a little help from Big K.R.I.T. on new single “I Live This Sh*t.” If you are a fan of the southern street music, you’ll be bumping this was loud in your speakers. [DJBooth]

Another track that dropped today that has the streets buzzing is DJ Khaled’s “They’re Ready” featuring and produced by J. Cole. The North Carolina native just keeps getting better when it comes to production. The track also features fellow producer/artist Big K.R.I.T. and Kendrick Lamar. [UHTN]

Female MCs may not be getting a lot of mainstream love as a whole but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of ladies out here with a mean flow. Today’s UnderUrb spotlight goes out to Brooklyn Femcee Nina B.

Bobby Brown has admitted himself into a rehabilitation center deciding that he couldn’t break his alcohol addiction on his own. Wishing him the best. Hopefully he can finally get this under control. [Boombox]
