Aftermath Entertainment artist Jon Connor drops his Kanye West-inspired mixtape, The Late Registration Of A College Dropout Who Had A Dark Twisted Fantasy Of 808s And Heartbreak. The 20-track deep project shows off Jon's incredible mic skills and explains why Dr. Dre signed him.
The last time 50 Cent and Justin Timberlake were in the studio together the result was the Timbaland-produced hit record "Ayo Technology."
50 told the New York Daily News' Confidenti@l that collaborating with JT was easy and he would like to do it again.
“That wasn’t work,” he said. “I think after half an hour we had a song.”
With two albums, Animal Ambition and Street King Immortal, coming out in 2014, the G-Unit boss added that Rihanna and Drake are artists he would also like to work with, according to XXL.
"I haven't worked with Drake or Rihanna, I would like to," 50 said Monday at SiriusXM's "Town Hall."
Out of these three possible collaborations, which one would you like to hear the most?

MTV's Rob Markman caught up with 50 Cent at SiriusXM's "Town Hall" on Monday (March 17) to ask him the question everyone has been dying to know the answer to. What did 50 say to Steve Stoute when they came face to face and Madison Square Garden in February.
"I said, 'That wasn't very nice of you, Steve. To say what you said wasn't really nice, and I think you should apologize,'" 50 said with a smile, before admitting there was more to the conversation. "Nah, I said it a little different."
The "I Get Money" hit maker's relationship with Stoute dates back to the late 90's. The record executive signed him to Columbia Records. The label was set to release the album, The Power of a Dollar, but backed away after learning that 50 had been shot in 2000.
Stoute came back into the picture 2 years later when he moved to Interscope Records.
"Me and Steve had the opportunity to meet with each other; he was running Interscope at the time," 50 told MTV. "When I tried to play him the music, he was like, 'Oh no, I already know what you can do, I already know what you can do. Remember, I signed you the first time?' And he wasn't lying, he gave me the deal the first time. I never got the chance to play the music. The whole meeting was to talk about what he thought transpired. It was confirmation of what he had heard [about the shooting]. I was never able to get him on the phone after that."
Stoute resurfaced again right before 50 inked his deal with Eminem.
"The next time I saw him was actually when Em flew me to Los Angeles to come to the deal," the G-Unit Records CEO explained. "Mysteriously, he just showed up in the lobby. I was like 'How the f*ck you even know I'm here?' He was like, 'Don't do the deal with the white boy, your sh*t is serious.' At the time, Em was doing ['Purple Pills' with D12], so he's thinking [Eminem's] a joke. 'Do it with Dre, don't do it with the white boy.' That's what he's constantly saying. Of course, I did the deal with the white boy because Em is the only one that showed interest in me. He's my favorite white boy."
The Wu Tang Clan have released their long awaited new single. "Keep Watch" featuring Nathaniel is off of the group's forthcoming album, A Better Tomorrow. The track was produced by DJ Mathematics. It's available for purchase HERE.

DG Yola has been arrested in connection with two shootings in Atlanta that left one man dead and another hospitalized.
Yola, real name Mario Talley, was arrested on Friday (March 14) and charged with felony murder, aggravated assault and attempted robbery, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Police say the 28-year old shot and killed Rodney Walker at an apartment complex on Sunday (March 9). Yola also allegedly robbed and shot Isiah Knight at the same complex. Knight was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in stable condition.
This isn't Yola's first brush with the law. He previously served time in prison for shooting his own cousin in 2008. The rapper spoke about the shooting during a 2012 interview with MTV.
"Me and cuz had got into a heated altercation out there in front of my momma house," he said at the time. "I’ve been shot in my face, and we had them pistols out there and cuz f*cked around and grabbed one of them straps. When he grabbed them straps, I really felt like he was gonna shoot me, so I shot him before he shot me. I shot him in the chest and in the leg. He wasn't the first n*gga I blasted and he might not be the last."
Yola is best known for the song "Ain't Gon' Let Up." He's currently being held at the Fulton County Jail.

Competition is what drives most hip hop artists. The desire to be number one has produced many great battles between between rappers throughout the history of the genre of music.
50 Cent and Jay Z haven't gone toe to toe for an extended period at any point during their careers, although they have jabbed at each other a few times.
Everyone remembers the G-Unit mogul's 1999 song "How to Rob," where he called out the names of people in the industry he would stick up, including Jigga. Jay responded on a track entitled "It's Hot."
After 50 Cent dropped his classic Get Rich or Die Tryin' album in February of 2003, Hov released what was supposed to be his swan song, The Black Album, in November of that same year. The Brooklyn, New York emcee didn't officially return to the game until November 2006, with the release of Kingdom Come.
While speaking at SiriusXM's "Town Hall" on Monday, March 17, 50 said that Hov purposely avoided competing with him during the years he was absent.
Where was Jay Z from 2003 to 2006? I sold 23 million records from 2003 to 2006. He stopped making music. He said ‘I quit. We’ll get back to what we got later. I quit. Timeout. I’ll come back to play later.’ When he signed that Beyonce contract he was like ‘men lie, women lie, numbers don’t.’
What's your take on the years Jay Z stepped away from the mic? Was he trying to avoid the 50 Cent tsunami that impacted the industry?
