Wiz Khadifi in the studio working on new album...
Just six months after the release of his gold major-label debut, Rolling Papers, the "Black and Yellow" MC revealed to MTV News that he has already started work on his follow-up.
"Yeah, I've started working on a next album just to get a feel for where I'm going with it," Wiz told us on the BMI Urban Awards red carpet last month. 'No Sleep' is gonna do what it's gonna do," Khalifa said of the fourth and latest single from Rolling Papers. "Hopefully, it takes off; it's been getting a lot of love so far." One thing for certain though it may include new- found friend Snoop Dogg, it won't feature production from Kanye West (former boyfriend to his current wife- Amber Rose).
Drake has been hard at work on his highly anticipated sophomore album ”Take Care.” He reveals the album cover on his official blog with the following statement. Feels like it’s been so long. Is life moving so fast in this generation that when we desire something it begins to move in slow motion? Are we just used to getting what we want right away? Or do we require one another to feel right about all that is going on around us? Maybe our anticipation is justified by the fact that we genuinely cannot wait to share a moment again? Either way, your life and mine are scheduled to meet on October 24…I wouldn’t miss it for the world. See you soon. Drake

San Diego-based rapper and former Def Jam artist, Jayo Felony, is being accused of squatting in a million dollar Hollywood Hills home. The rapper, whose real name is Jason Savage, was filmed by Fox affiliate KTTV’s cameras approaching a Hollywood home believed to be worth upwards of $1.6 million. When a field reporter asked about him allegedly occupying the foreclosed property without permission, the visibly hostile Jayo Felony said he was renting the property from his friend’s father.
“We rented it from someone,” Jayo Felony’s live-in girlfriend explained to reporters. “We literally paid someone $5,000 cash to rent this place. His name is Benjamin White.”
Los Angeles County's KTTV turned their cameras on Jayo Felony, who is allegedly the victim of a real estate scam after being accused of squatting.

The 53-year-old hip-hop pioneer tells the Wall Street Journal recently that he's planning to buy a TV network. "I am going to buy a TV network," Simmons said."When mainstream networks say diversity, they mean segregation. 'Let's do some more black TV.' Instead, there's all these cultures that should be more integrated properly," he explained.
"Instead of giving Paris Hilton a show, for example, you could do one with Amber Rose. You'd be better off. One is hot, the other is not. Networks are a little slow in how mainstream culture is shifting. There's a lack of integration in Hollywood, and I want to address that."Additionally, Simmons added that he is working on the project with Hollywood producers Brian Grazer and Ron Howard, and that an announcement would be made soon.
