Veteran rhyme slinger Jadakiss sat down with Cosmic Kev and chopped it up about a few up and coming rappers in the game and what D-Block has lined up.
Kiss explained why he likes to work with young artists like Meek Mill, Joey Jihad and French Montana.
" I mean me being one of the major dudes in New York as far as respected lyrically, I like to help the dudes on the come up like Joey Jihad cause he's nice," Kiss said. "And I like to help them type of artists cause they can't always reach the Hov's, the Nas', the Kanye's. They can't reach some of the artists to get where they need to be and I went through that same thing. So I always embrace the French Montana's, Joey Jihad, all the dudes that's hungry, Meek Mill, all of them dudes on the come up thats nice. I try to show them love early before they pop and everybody jump on the bandwagon."
Jada says D-Block got the cannons cocked and loaded so don't think they're slacking.
"The Champ Is Here Pt 3, I haven't been quiet at all, 500 and something (thousand) dowloads on the internet. Me and SP [Styles] got an EP coming out, 'In and Out'. You know how we do with that, just break some more bread and put another wing on the house. I got the 'Top 5 Dead Or Alive' coming right after that. Donnie G, Don Gorilla just signed with Def Jam so that's another wing on the house."

Yelawolf has started to create a great buzz within the hip hop community. The Alabama MC can count one of the premier artists in the game as a fan now.
According to producer Jim Jonsin, Em is really digging Yela's music.
"I actually played a video of Yelawolf for Eminem, Pop The Trunk and he really liked it," explained the producer. "He (Eminem) was like 'wow,that's the sh*t. I need to do some sh*t like that.'"
Eminem and Yelawolf are now label mates at Interscope Records, so it's possible we may see a collaboration down the line.

Hip-hop’s new-school frontrunner Drake just released “Find Your Love,” the second single from his forthcoming debut album, Thank Me Later. This Kanye West produced track finds the rapper singing about what he describes as “one of my worst character traits.” Apparently the 24-year-old has the worst luck picking the right woman. “I look for love in the wrong people,” he recently told us. “It just always seem like the women I find are poison for me. I love women that can just walk into a room and stop the whole area. And I think that those initial qualities always end up getting me hurt, which is a crazy thing for a guy to say.”
The beat’s hip-hop-meets-Phil Collins pop sound is similar to the dreary tunes found on West’s last album 808's and Hearbreak. But Drake, sans the Auto-Tune West used, sings well here. On “Love,” Drake, hurt by women many times before, hopes his next relationship doesn’t crash like the others. “I’ve been through this s— so many times that if I go through his again,” he says of the song’s concept, “I better find your love. You better be that one. Because if not, I don’t know what type of guy I’m going to turn into.”
Broken hearts aren’t typically the topic of hip-hop songs. Drake believes that his supporters, especially the guys, will be able to relate. But he knows he’s taking a chance. “Find Your Love” is an extremely vulnerable song,” he says. “And it’s actually a huge risk. It almost feels like the song should be performed by a woman. I’m just hoping that men really hear the song and they’re honest with themselves. I know a lot of men feel that way.”

NEW YORK – For Kenny and Lynette Seymour, last weekend's black marriage gala was about celebrating their seven-year marriage. They got to meet other black couples while spending a romantic evening together.
"Every time you meet another couple, you learn something new about yourself and relationships in general," said Kenny Seymour, a 39-year-old Broadway music director who lives in Queens. "It was beautiful to be around a bunch of married people in love."
Other black couples will be marking the eighth annual Black Marriage Day this weekend, by attending workshops, black-tie dinners and other activities. Some groups have held events throughout the month, although Black Marriage Day, which celebrates matrimony in the black community, falls on the fourth Sunday in March.
The founder estimates more than 300 celebrations are being held this weekend. The aim is to try to stabilize, if not reverse, the trend of non-commitment within the black community. Studies show blacks are less likely to marry than other ethnic groups and more likely to divorce and bear children out of wedlock.
Experts blame the disparities in part on high black male unemployment, high black male imprisonment and the moderate performance of black men in college compared with black women.
They also note the lack of positive images of black marriage in the media and several misperceptions about matrimony — that it's for white people, that it's a ball and chain, that fatherhood and marriage are not linked.
"They have either seen really bad examples of what marriage looks like or no examples at all," said Yolanda "Yanni" Brown, 42, a divorced mother of two in Chicago, who is hosting black marriage events. "They are saying, 'Why bother? This works for us,' not knowing there are so many other benefits of being married."
Brown says she wishes she had fought for her marriage.
Joseph Arrington II, a 38-year-old black entertainment attorney in Atlanta, said there was a time when he wanted to get married, but his interest has waned. He hasn't had a girlfriend in 15 years. His parents celebrated their 50th anniversary last year. He said he focuses on his work.
"It's a combination of two things," he said. "I haven't found anyone, and I'm not actively seeking someone."
Gerard Abdul, 45, a who lives in East Orange, N.J., and runs an entertainment company, has never seen himself as the marrying type. He has nine children by five women. He said he cared about them all, and each wanted to marry him. But he wasn't interested.
"Because I'm so independent and on my own, I really didn't see the science of marrying them when I really didn't have to," Abdul said.
"I'm a great father," he added. "But I probably would have been a lousy husband."
Despite those attitudes toward marriage, there are a handful of campaigns to get blacks to walk down the aisle, from the federal government's African American Healthy Marriage Initiative to Marry Your Baby Daddy Day, with 10 unwed couples with children tying the knot later this year in New York.
"You Saved Me," a documentary that explores the marriages of eight black couples, will be screened in more than 20 cities this weekend as part of a Black Marriage Day premiere.
"We want people to take away that successful positive (black) marriages do exist," said Lamar Tyler of Waldorf, Md., who produced "You Saved Me" with his wife, Ronnie. The Tylers started their blog "Black and Married With Kids" in 2007 and released "Happily Ever After: A Positive Image of Black Marriage" last year.
Don Lee and his wife, Joan Griffith-Lee, of New York's Staten Island, who have three children, will be watching "Happily Ever After" Friday night and participating in a discussion at a coffeehouse. The couple have been married almost 20 years.
Several of their friends are divorced, and Griffith-Lee, 45, who works at Columbia University, said she and her husband often talk about why.
"We hope to leave there with a new awareness and maybe some tools that can help as we get older," she said.
Black Marriage Day founder Nisa Islam Muhammad is encouraging couples to renew their vows in front of friends and family in honor of Tyler Perry's movie "Why Did I Get Married Too?" which opens April 2.
Muhammad points out that many black children come from single-parent households and contends that the media are not helping. There's never been a black "Bachelor" on the popular TV show, and the star of the 2008 movie "27 Dresses," about a 27-time bridesmaid, was white.
"We're going to focus on the positives," said Muhammad, executive director of Wedded Bliss Foundation, which helps people develop healthy relationships and marriages. "We're going to show ourselves and our community that marriage does matter and we have some fabulous marriages in our community worth celebrating."
Those include the marriage of President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, said Roland Warren, president of the National Fatherhood Initiative in Germantown, Md. He credits the couple with setting a positive example and creating more discussion about the issue. In a way, their marriage is evidence of the importance of marriage in the African-American community, he said.
Most blacks already think that marriage is a good thing, said Andrew Cherlin, a professor of sociology and public policy at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. But many can't find anyone they think would make a good spouse.
But at least Black Marriage Day will get people thinking about marriage, says Tammy Greer Brown, 43, executive director of Celebrating Real Family Life and organizer of the Staten Island event, who said she hopes to spark a discussion about marriage. She said she grew up in a single-parent home and didn't want that for her kids. She has been married for more than 10 years.
"My daughter is already talking about getting married," she said. "She wants to be like my husband and I."

Nude photos leaked of rapper Trina over the weekend. Now, she has finally addressed the leak,saying she's taken the privacy invasion tothe FBI.
The Miami rapper previously revealed that she had lost her cellphone recently and was afraid that the images stored on it might make theirway to the Internet. And, they did.
Several photos of Trina were leaked to various blogs just days ago, some of which show her crying,others showing an allergic skin reaction, and some display her exposed
body parts.
The websites we first spotted them on have since removed the pics.
She told MTV News Monday (March 1) that the person who found the photos tried to extort her for money.
"[The images are] me on a very upset day -- I think I was in Canada, upset crying," she told the network. "Just personal stuff. Photos in thestudio. I think [one] was me having an allergic reaction, breaking out.
I just think it was my personal stuff and for someone to do that is so,
so wrong. So now I'm actually having it looked into by the FBI and it's
gonna be a bigger situation than just leaked photos. Hopefully we can
deal with the situation and put an end to it."
Trina went on to explain that while some of the racy images she took herself, some were placed in there just to draw more attention to theset.
As far as the pics of the rash on her arm, Trina said the took them to show her doctor. But, she doesn't sure what caused the allergicreaction.
"I don't recall being allergic to anything, but obviously, yeah [I am]," she said. "I was in the studio recording for a couple of days andjust started having breakouts. And my doctor said you're allergic to
shellfish or makeup bronzer."
Her doctor diagnosed her with Urticaria, which she says has since gone away.
