Whoa!!!! It feels like i have been gone for fiflity days, but I'm back like cancer that never left! Okay so here is the update on Nas, Jay-Z, and Def Jam.
As most know by now Rick Ross is Def Jam's newest star. He has a joint deal through Slip-N-Slide(home of Trick Daddy and Trina)and Def Jam. The first single from his album Port of Miami, "Hustlin'" is blowin' up!!! To make things even sweeter, there is a remix to the song with Jay-Z and Young Jeezy! How hot is that! Look for Port of Miami to drop sometime this summer.
Next, the boy Nas has a title for his debut Def Jam release and has put out the list of producers who are going to work on it. The album is suppose to be titled Hip-Hop is Dead...The N and is set for a September release. As of right now what I am hearing is that will.i.am, Kanye West, and Just Blaze are the only set producers so far and the homie Hova may be making a guest appearence on the new album. The album is a minute a way so I will keep you updated on anything new.
Now that Def Jam wants to go for the home grown Hip-Hop thing it was only natural that they went a signed The Roots. Their album Game Theory is due this summer and the first single, "Don't Feel Right" is hotter than my girl! Haha, okay back to biz. Expect to dive into a dark listening experience this time around, the first single is the darkest single I have heard from them yet! Sometimes darkness is good. Also there are going to be a few surprises this time around so stay tuned.
Next up to bat...look for Freeway, Shawnna, and Method Man. M-E-T-H-O-D MAAAN! Meth has been gone for a minute, but he is coming back with is new album 4:21. The album is still boiling and cooking, but there are two singles out right now, "Say" featuring Lauryn Hill(Wow!) and "Ya Mean" featuring Fat Joe and Styles P. Shawnna's new album Block Music is I believe set for a late summer release and is suppose to be her best work to date. With the first single "Gettin' Some" "blowin'" up(Haha!)she is goin' for the throat this time...hahaha!!! Her new single "Damn" featuring Chevy P(formally Smoke of Field Mob)is damn good and will hit in a couple of weeks. Freeway's new album titled Free at Last is set for a late summer early fall release. For more on Freeway's new project read the previous article.
Also look for new stuff from Joe Budden. His new album The Growth is due in October. Look for new music from Fabolous, Redman, Sam Scarfo, and Ludacris. The sound track to Tyrese and Megan Good's new film Waist Deep is due on June 13. Even though it is on another label look for Lupe Fiasco's new album, Food and Liquor due on June 26 which is executive produced by Jay-Z.
Okay take a deep breate and take it all in and absorb...I'm goin' to get some more cereal I ran out. ONE DUN!!! I'll be back with more very soon!
