A new Dr Dre joint premiered last night (May 6) on Showtime's Fight Camp 360: Pacquiao vs Mosely.
This will not be the third single off of 'Detox', but it will appear on the album.
J. Cole's time at Roc Nation could be coming to an abrupt close.
HipHopWired is reporting that Jay-Z has told the rapper to deliver the album or get the boot.
Just last week Cole spoke about the album nearing completion.
"I know my fans are frustrated with me, because I won't give a date," Cole said."I only gave a date one time in my career last year, and I smacked myself in the face because it was so unrealistic. Now I say it's coming soon, and it's really true, because we're in the final stages right now."
After two years looks like Hov wants a return on his investment.

The Prodigy vs Capone beef is starting to escalate.
Mike Delorean, a former protege' of Prodigy and 1/2 of the group Bars-N-Hooks joined Capone in throwing shots at P.
Both are heated about being named in Prodigy's new book "My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep's Prodigy." In it Prodigy details many run ins with the law and beefs with other rap crews. P claims Capone snitched on Havoc's brother, Killer Black at a murder trial and that Bars-N-Hooks robbed Havoc.
Capone admits he did take the stand in the Killer Black murder trial, but says he lied to help get Killer exonerated.
"I got caught in a situation, and I gave a false statement [to police]. I lied. Come to find out, the motherf*cking statement came back, they tried to use me as a witness. But I lied. I wasn't Killer's co-defendant, I wasn't there when the crime happened, I aint speak to him after. But I didn't put nothing in there to incriminate nobody. The n*gga you say I snitched on was running in the streets with me. Get your facts right,[My lie] is the only reason he came home," Capone said.
Capone advised 50 Cent to stay clear of this beef.
"50, I am asking you stay of this please, my n*gga. I got love for you, you're from Queens, you're a Queens n*gga like me, but just this is not a situation which - at the end of the day, it's hammer time," Capone said
With threats from Delorean that the goons are looking for him, and his escalating situation with Capone, it looks like it's gonna be a hot summer for Prodigy.

In the movie Zoe plays a woman who grows up to be a cold blooded assassin, after witnessing her parents murder as a child.
We stress that the blood of the holy warrior sheik, Osama Bin Laden, God bless him, is precious to us and to all Muslims and will not go in vain. We will remain, God willing, a curse chasing the Americans and their agents, following them outside and inside their countries. Soon, God willing, their happiness will turn to sadness, their blood will be mingled with tears.
The statement was signed by Al Qaeda's "general leadership."

Lil B is proving to be a lightning rod for controversy these days. If nothing else, the man speaks his mind.
In an interview with Billboard, B was asked to measure President Obama's swag factor.
B initially gave Obama passing grades until it came to Osama bin Laden's assassination.
"President Obama has swag because he just saved himself for the re-election by doing the Osama Bin Laden deal. I don't promote violence though. I don't support violence in any way." Lil B says. "Osama did a bad thing and they did a bad thing for killing. Death is not good at all. It's not swag for death so Obama gets no swag. No swag for death."

Bryan "Baby" Williams and Ronald "Slim" Williams continue to diversify their business interests.
Last year the two launched their Cash Money Content imprint. The companies will also sell books at concerts and hold red-carpet launch parties for authors.
"We think we can do more, market books in a new way," Birdman told the Wall Street Journal at the time. "We want to put out five or six books a year."
Now comes word that they have made their first major move by acquiring the literary catalogue of the late Iceberg Slim.
Cash Money Content will re-print seven Iceberg novels including "Pimp: The Story Of My Life." The novel has sold over 2.5 million copies and has played a big influence on rappers like Ice-T, Slim Thug and Jay-Z to name a few.
CMC has a deal in place with the Atria Books imprint of CBS Corp.'s Simon & Schuster to market and distribute the books.
Atria's publisher, Judith Kerr, says thinks the market is ready for CMC. "Cash Money has a particular expertise in the audience they appeal to, and they feel it's important for their audience to read books

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama has decided not to release photos of Osama bin Laden's body as evidence of his death, an administration official briefed by the White House told CNN Wednesday.
The decision settles the debate over whether to release the images, though Obama's choice is sure to garner criticism.
Earlier, two top senators involved in national security said the photos of bin Laden's corpse should be released.
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Michigan, who chairs the Armed Services Committee -- and who has not seen the photos -- said the United States should wait to allow the emotions of people around the world who may be sympathetic to bin Laden to cool down.
"I'd let a little time pass so we that we don't play into the hands of people who want to retaliate with what obviously will be a sensational picture. I would not want to feed that sensation so I'd wait days or weeks," he said.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss, the top Republican on the Intelligence Committee -- who said he has seen the photos -- said they should be made public right away.
"I think the question is, what's the negative that could come from it?" Chambliss asked. "One of these days they're going to be released; it's a question of whether it be now on our terms or (let) somebody else do it."
Chambliss described the photos as "what you would expect from somebody who's been shot in the head. It's not pretty."
The two men answered questions from reporters as they entered a classified briefing in the Capitol on the bin Laden raid with CIA Director Leon Panetta.
Neither lawmaker immediately commented after news of Obama's decision leaked out.
Republican House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers said he was against releasing any photos, saying that he didn't want to make the job of U.S. troops abroad "any harder than it already is."
"Imagine how the American people would react if al Qaeda killed one of our troops or military leaders, and put photos of the body on the Internet. Osama bin Laden is not a trophy -- he is dead and let's now focus on continuing the fight until al Qaeda has been eliminated," he said.

New visuals from Drop Top Slim and his brother Trips.
Jay-Z just snagged a new trophy for the case, by winning a Sports Emmy for Outstanding Music Composition/Direction/Lyrics for his performance of "Run This Town" shown during Super Bowl XLIV.
Although Rihanna is not in the video, her voice can heard singing the chorus as Hov performed with an orchestra backing him. Clips of jarring hits and NFL great plays run throughout.
It's the first Emmy for the 41-year old Jay-Z, who has grabbed 13 Grammys in his long career.
The Ying Yang Twins are among a group of artists suing CBS Interactive and it's web site, CNET.
CNET is very popular among internet users who trust the applications, drivers, etc it has for free download.
Today, a couple of those free applications may cost CBS millions according to AllHipHop.
Peer-to-peer apps Limewire, Morpheus, iMesh and Frostwire have been downloaded more than 540 million times.
The lawsuit alleges CNET was the main distributor of those softwares and that CBS Interactive profited by using a "pay per download" system, with advertisements serving as an additional revenue generator.
Other artists involved in the suit are J-Shin, Pretty Ricky, 2 Live Crew, JT Money and The Force MD's.
"Defendants are liable as vicarious infringers for the copyright infringement committed via P2P client software that Defendants created, distributed and promoted, including LimeWire and others," the lawsuit claims.
