Oh, THERE'S Loon!

new-loon.jpgAmir Junaid Muhadith, formerly Chauncy Hawkins, professionally known as "Loon" or "Mase 2.0", is finally at peace. Since leaving Bad Boy five years ago, he has converted to Islam, as shown in the Al Jazeera TV clip after the bounce. He plans to eventually use his influence as an artist to bring about a more positive message in Hip Hop, despite the fact that any such influence wasn't apparent during his tenure at Bad Boy. Amir is quick to point out that the media frequently uses an artist's conversion as an opportunity to mock Islam or whatever faith in which the artist chooses to immerse himself. After multiple flip-flops by former comrade-turned-sworn enemy Mase, the cynical approach is understandably a necessity at this point. [RR]
