Excluuuuusive Jagged Edge track, “Put A Lil’ Umph In It,” featuring Ashanti, and produced by the great Jermaine Dupri of course; most likely the first single from their new album, and debut record deal song with Def Jam, set to drop late August of this summer, we will keep you posted! So far, I hear that the “rumored” title of the upcoming LP will be Baby Making Project – but you didn’t hear any of this from me. Below you can listen to the JE track in it’s entirety (keep in mind, it isn’t cd version though).

Well, as you may know..There have been numerous rumors reporting that Bad Boy artist Cassie has been dropped, there may actually be some truth to it, according to Bossip.com on the singer’s MySpace, she has removed Diddy off of her top Friend’s Space and has even changed “Bad Boy Records” to Ryan Leslie’s Indie record label “NextSelection Lifestyle Group”. Cassie’s rumored titled sophomore album, Still Cassie, is set to drop September 18th of this year, the question is under Bad Boy or NextSelection? Hopefully these rumors are false true because it’s not like she was going anywhere with Bad Boy. Producers for Cassie’s upcoming album will be, of course, Ryan Leslie and Robin Thicke so who knows! This album may be a hit…

Figuratively, and literally that is! What exactly is he apologizing for? Well if you have to guess then you should take more sunshine breaks from the rock you must be living under because homeboi has been in the news a lot lately! From HUMPING PRE-TEENS to THROWING KIDS around, Akon’s done it all! Its hard out here for a Senegalian Pimp! Anyhow, Akon wrote a song he appropriately titled “Put The Blame On Me” apologizing to Gwen Stefani for getting Verizon pulled from sponsoring their tour together and, among other things, his onstage romp with a 14-year-old who turned out to be the daughter of a minister. He must have recorded this before the incident with the 15-year-old kid he tossed into the audience at a concert in Fishkill, NY because there’s no mention of it … at all. Maybe a “Part II” is in the making?? Ya never know with Akon! Check out the song below…

Lmao, no really! She said that! Shar claims that the RUMOR that was put out a few days ago claiming she was with child is just that … a rumor! She insists that she hasn’t had sex in ages, and was quoted as saying:

“There’s absolutely no action going on in my uterus! I got a call from a bunch of people. I was like, ‘Wow, maybe I need to go and find out something about myself.’ I’m no expert, but I hear you have to actually have sex… hasn’t been happening.”

Totally not true Shar! I guess someone didn’t take sex ed classes in high school. Experts say that sperm cells swim and can live outside the body for some time, and if sperm is within a couple inches (or miles in K Fed’s case) of your “parts down there” then you could in fact become pregnant! That damn Kevin is so fertile he could sneeze and get a girl pregnant. It’s happened before. Anyhow, Shar says she has no plans on getting pregnant anytime soon. Why? “I just got a tummy tuck a few months ago; I’m not trying to ruin my new body” – Shar. Yeah, that’s a pretty good reason … I guess? *shrugs shoulders*

Multi-faceted Hip-Hop superstar Common is prepping his highly anticipated seventh album, Finding Forever, for a July 31st release on G.O.O.D Music/Geffen Records. The album is the follow up to the four times Grammy nominated, critically heralded and Kanye West produced Be, which spawned hits including “The Corner,” “Go,” and “Testify.”

Finding Forever, finds Kanye again taking the bulk of production work with help from Will.I.Am on the sultry “I Want You,” the late great J. Dilla on “So Far To Go,” featuring a surprise guest appearance by D’Angelo and G.O.O.D Music producer Devo Springsteen on “Misunderstood.”

On Finding Forever, Common, rips the mic like a hungry newcomer. The street single “The Game” produced by Kanye with scratches by the legendary DJ Premier is a horn drenched, vintage NY rap boom-bap banger from the Chi-town emcee, no less. The resounding lead single “The People” finds Common lyrically asserting why and who he creates his music for over regal strings, delectable keys and hard to get vocals by Gil Scott Heron. The video for “The People” will be in shot in by Neon in NYC on Saturday, June 9th.
