**Tru Life Says He Left Def Jam, Sticking With Jay-Z** "I CAN SEE WHY"

**TRU LIFE SHOWING YOU HOW HE LIVES LIFE PULLS OUT 80,000K**


Tru Life has already had an interesting career. It has been an enticing one, filled with feuds, fights and rhymes, but the rapper has yet to release a full fledged mainstream debut album. Recently, he spoke on his deal with Roc-A-Fella and his friendship with Jay-Z.

“I was Roc-A-Fella all day first off, let’s get that clear,” he told XXLMag.com. “I signed to Roc La Familia but I was always Roc-A-Fella. I was just Latin, but when that folded it was easy, they just moved me over to Roc-A-Fella."

Later, he added that Jay spoke to him to let him know he was leaving his position at Def Jam before he made it public.

"I’m a smart business man so when I found out Jay-Z was gonna leave - 'cause I got the heads up, cause that’s my big homie - I didn’t wanna stay there either at Def Jam.”

He went on to speak on the matter with more details, explaining more about his contract and his previous offers.

“As far as Def Jam is concerned, I didn’t wanna be in an upside down situation. ...I had seven deals on the table before I took that deal and I only took it because of Jay-Z. So I felt like if he’s leaving, I wanna leave too…It was also in my contract that if they didn’t put out my album, they had to give me $300,000. So being the smart businessman that I am I took that $300,000, they did it under the radar so nobody really knew, but I been was off of Def Jam for a while. We did it before Jay-Z actually left."

Furthermore, he added that he is still a part of The Roc, despite being off of Def Jam. He noted a recent meeting where both had fun in Las Vegas.

"I left Def Jam, but I’m still with Roc-A-Fella, I’m still with Jay-Z. Me and Jay was just out in Vegas balling out, spending stacks. You can ask Jay.”

No album details have been finalized or made public yet.

2009 Maybach Landaulet $1.3Million

The Maybach Landaulet is an open-top version of its Maybach 62S. Maybach i said to only produce a handful of the cars for a select few customers with exceptionally deep pockets with the vehicle starting at a whooping 1.3million dollars(EUR 900,000).

What makes this vehicle much more exclusive is the roof of the car can be opened fully at the rear, while the driver's compartment remains completely enclosed. The passengers are then able to enjoy the sky above and cool breeze.

The roof opens electro-hydraulically and is stored on the parcel shelf in the rear. Opening and closing the roof takes 16 seconds. The chauffeur is able to enclose the folded roof with a fitted leather cover, which both conceals the roof mechanism from view

The Maybach Landaulet study is powered by the uprated V12 engine that Maybach engineers developed for the Maybach 57S and Maybach 62S. Thanks to twin turbochargers and water intercooling, the V12 develops a maximum output of 612hp and 738 pound-feet of torque.

THIS IS ONE BEAUTY!!

**WORLD's NO.2 ECOMONY IN A RECESSION**

World's No. 2 economy in recession
Japan, the world's second-largest economy, is in a recession, government officials announced. Japan's Cabinet Office confirmed that its economy fell another 0.1 percent in its third quarter, following a 0.3 percent drop in the second quarter. The country's gross domestic product has fallen by 0.4 percent this year.

Japan's recession announcement was not unexpected. Part of the problem is the strong yen, which skyrocketed in recent weeks as turmoil in the world's financial markets and concerns about a global recession drove investors away from high-yielding currencies such as the euro and the pound. As a result, lower-yielding currencies like the dollar and the yen surged in value because they are considered by many investors to be a safe-haven.

Since Japan is such a big exporter of goods, a more robust yen hurts profits for Japanese firms as sales from abroad get translated back into yen. The more that the yen has climbed, the worse Japan's stock market has performed, which has resulted in a ripple effect on European and U.S. exchanges.
