DMX will be releasing his seventh studio album later this year and if he has his way there will be a couple of International superstars on it.

“Sade and Adele,” Dark Man told XXL.com of his dream collaborations. “I love chubby girls,” he said in reference to six time Grammy winner Adele.

As for Sade, the Dog just really likes her music: "I love her," he said.

X's new album is titled Undisputed, and while he may or not not get his wish to collaborate with Sade and Adele, it is already confirmed he will be working with long tome associate Swizz Beatz on the project. He's also recorded a track with Machine Gun Kelly entitled "I Don't Dance."

J. Cole has been honored by his hometown of Fayetteville, North Carolina with his very own holiday which kicked off Thursday [March 1]. As a gift to his fans Cole released a new song  "Vizions of Home."

Comedian Mike Epps is getting his dirty laundry aired to the media thanks to his 18-year old daughter.

According to TMZ, Bria Epps filed a police report with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department yesterday [March 1] claiming her father has made threats against her. She also claims he has made threats against her mother and grandmother.

Bria is Epp's daughter from his before he was married to his current wife. She says the dispute started after Mike appeared on the Wendy Williams show in February and snubbed her by not shouting her out, although he saluted his kids from his current marriage.

Bria got angry and threatened to expose family secrets and that's when things got ugly.

According to the police report the comedian threatened to "f*ck" Bria up and "cause her and her mom and grandmother problems."

Epps' rep says the dispute has nothing to to do with his appearance on Williams' show and stems from the face that Bria wants him to break her off a chunk of cash for college tuition. Epps refused and that's when Bria made the threat.

Epp's rep didnt comment on the alleged threat he made towards Bria and her family.

T.I. is making some major moves with his Grand Hustle imprint. During an appearance on MTV's RapFix Live Wednesday the Atlanta rapper confirmed that he had added Iggy Azalea and UK rapper Chipmunk to his team. He also announced that he and Houston rapper Trae The Truth would be doing a joint venture to put out Trae's next album.

It had previously been announced that Tip would be executive producing Iggy's debut album. The two of them working out a long term agreement just seemed to make sense to both camps.

"I think her exact words were: 'It's very smart of you to call me because I'm going to be smashing sh*t for quite some time now and no one will be able to breathe if they're not on my team. So it's good that you'll be here, so you'll have oxygen," T.I. said of Iggy's direct approach.

The Aussie import confirmed that it went down just as Tip explained it.

"I did say that," she said. "I was like, 'I'm going to be a bushfire that sucks up all the oxygen so nobody can breathe and you might want an oxygen mask.'"

Chipmunk (now known as Chip) has already enjoyed huge success overseas with a platinum album and the Chris Brown assisted single "Champion." In linking up with T.I. he hopes to make the same thing happen in the U.S.

“Everyone was like, you’re young, you’re 21, someone just needs to dive in at the deep end in America and just try and bridge the gap a little bit more between the cultures musically,” he said. “Tip was rocking with what I was doing, so we just linked up.”

If you have seen Nicki Minaj's live perfomances, especially her over the top "exorcism" at The Grammys you know the Young Money star has a flair for the dramatic.

She graduated from LaGuardia High School of Music and Performing Arts in New York City. What she learned there has carried over into her rap career.

"That's just who I am. I was a theater major; I studied theater," Minaj told MTV News. "It's funny because, even with the Grammys, that wasn't the first time I've done theater. Like 'Moment 4 Life,' I did a skit I was pretending to be an old lady, Martha, when I did 'Right Thru Me,' I did a skit. I always try to do that when I have the forum to do it."

A lot of teens have started to try to emulate the Harajuku Barbie by dressing like her. It's something that Minaj is comfortable with.

"I guess I am pop culture just because what I'm doing seems to be popular. When people want to do what you're doing, it's kinda popular," she said. "I don't ask girls to wear pink hair; they just do it. It's not about black or white; I think it's just a statement. It doesn't matter which color you are; it's just a statement of being fearless."

Precious Paris is now on everyone's radar, but it wasn't always that way. She's put in a lot of hard work and dedicated herself to making her dreams come true. In a new interview with Vibe.com she talks about how she met 50 Cent, working on the T.O.S. project and being so hungry to make it that she went to the studio to record just hours after her mother's funeral.

Precious Paris: Well I was working with producers Midi Maffia and Dangerous LLC who happened to be producing for him at the time. They did ‘Amusement Park’ and ’21 Questions.” They got into 50 my demo and he called me to the office like a week later. So he was my first meeting. I was sitting in his office, scared to death ! That was my first meeting. 

 

Did he call you personally? 

No, he called my producers and said ‘let me see what she looks like because she sounds like she looks like a man.’ [Laughs] and so when I walked into his office he was like ‘you are a girl.!’ (Laughs) But you know it was my first meeting and it went straight to the top after that.  

 

So initially Did Fif want to sign you on the spot?

He did not sign me right away, however I did not let that get me down, I stayed in the studio even the times when I didn’t hear from him anymore. Something in the back of my head always told me that I would eventually be going to be G-Unit’s first lady. I prayed on it and then one day out the blue he gave me a call.

 

After that first meeting how much time went by before you heard from him again? 

It was a few years later but in the meantime he would call me to do little freelance stuff,  like the hook on TOS. I didn’t get credit and I did another song with him and LL Cool J “Heartbeat.” I sang the hook on that. Yeah, I sing ! 

 

Is that really how 50 is?

You never know when with 50. He’s very spontaneous. That’s one thing about 50 even to this day. So I’m always on point because I don’t know when I will get a call and have to do something so I’m always ready.

 

So what was it like he finally called you and said ‘I’m ready to make this official.'

Well after I got up off my knees from praying and thanking who I know is really responsible for that, I just went right to work. I didn’t even think twice about it or get too hype about it and I’m still not hype to this day. The only thing I want to do is work, work and work like when I leave here. I mean I think he respects me because I buried my mother about a month ago and as soon as I buried my mother, that same night I was in the studio and he happened to just pop up at the studio and saw me. I think he was a little shocked to see me.

 

And did he know what happened? 

Of course, he sent flowers. Everyone knew that my mother had just passed. He sent flowers to the funeral but I was at the studio that same night. 

 

Did you feel like he looked at you kind of different from that point? 

I did. He gave me a hug that I felt, I just felt the hug. I felt the sorrow but I also felt the appreciation for my hunger from my boss.

TMZ is reporting that Jeezy's concert at the BB King Blues Club came to a screeching halt when fans who had been asked to move back from the stage started throwing drinks towards it instead.

At one point Jeezy can be heard telling the crowd, "I aint going no motherf*cking where!" But by that point drinks were flying back and forth from the stage and crowd. Eventually the show had to be shut down and Jeezy bounced before somebody got seriously hurt.

The story regarding Max-B's appeal just took a strange, but fortunate turn for friends, family and fans of the rapper

As we reported yesterday, DJ Next, the CEO of Max's record label Amalgam Digital, tweeted that the rapper's appeal had been denied and he would not be eligible for parole until 2042.

We're happy to report that there was a miscommunication which resulted in that information being incorrect.

Max B's good friend French Montana spoke with him tonight [February 29] and says that his appeal hearing has not happened yet.

DJ Next also took to Twitter to address the situation, and to relay a personal message from Max to his fans.

"I just got off the phone w/@MaxBiggavelli & his mom. Apparently all the blog & tweet rumors yesterday are false.The official word is April," Next wrote. "I should've known better than to believe all the bullsh*t. Seems to be a trend in my life lately. We will have the official word on @MaxBiggavelli appeal in April and Max asked me to relay the following message on twitter."

The direct message from Max is: "This was just a test from God. A battle cry..a call to arms. Im bullet proof. And I'm coming out on my grown man sh*t" - @MaxBiggavelli.

So there you have it. Max still has a shot at being released on appeal in April.

Shout out to Mikey T The Movie Star @MTMovieStar for the heads up.
