Prodigy Says There Will Be Another Mobb Deep Album
With the fake beef between Prodigy and Havoc over, Prodigy announces that Mobb Deep will be releasing a new album, after P's H.N.I.F.C. 3 drops.
While on MTV's RapFix Live, Prodigy said that Mobb Deep is doing well,
"The Mobb is good, we're working on the next album still, steadily, making it hot," he continued, "But in the meantime we're gonna put out some product for right now. The Mobb Deep album is not where we want it to be yet, so we've just gotta do something in the meantime."
Prodigy says H.N.I.F.C. 3 should be dropping on July 3rd, before the Mobb Deep album, thanks to the flexibility the duo has with Sony's RED label.
"We've got a distribution deal over at Sony RED, so basically we run our own label, we run the company, we've gotta do everything ourselves," he explained. "We make the release schedule, it's up to us what comes out first and if we want to change something, we change it. We've got a lot of control with this situation — it's like the best situation that you could ever be in, as far as [being] an artist and making music, this is great for us."
Earl Sweatshirt Inks Deal For His Imprint 'Tan Cressida' With Columbia Records
Earl Sweatshirt, the newly returned member of Odd Future, has inked a deal for his own imprint on Columbia Records (which is owned by Sony).
His imprint, called Tan Cressida, will distribute his records, the New York Times reports. Although Earl was offered many deals, some of which were offering more money, he chose to stay under the Sony-umbrella with his group mates in OF, since Odd Future Records is distributed by Sony's RED.
There are three projects Earl has plans to work on; his solo major-label debut, a collaborative project with producer Matt Martian, as well as long-time planned collaboration with Tyler, the Creator, which will be called EarlWolf.
You can read the full article in the NY Times here, where Earl discusses his time in Samoa, his relationship with his mom and Odd Future.

2 Chainz Speaks On How "No Lie" With Drake Came Together
On the Drake feature, 2 Chainz says, "We had been talking. A lot of the features that I do for myself, I put a lot of thought into them and it’s about what makes sense. I use this example all the time. I would never put Snoop Dogg on a drinking record, because he likes to smoke. Sometimes, people force features together and that doesn’t seem right to me," he said. "So communicating with Drake and just trying to come up with a record, for me, I gotta be comfortable doing records if it’s a feature from somebody for me. I gotta be comfortable with them doing the record when they're not there."
"So I picked the beat and did my verse. I didn’t really give him direction but I kinda told him, ‘Little melody,’ you know what I mean? Him being down with me and my campaign, like Wayne, they're really intelligent artists as well," 2 Chainz continued. "Drizzy is aware of my campaign being true and being all about real, and he just applied it and it made it a more natural song."
He explained it had to beat he would want to perform, because he loves entertaining, "It had to be a beat that I wanted to perform. I like performing and entertaining. I didn’t want to be something that was jamming but I didn’t like performing," 2 Chainz continued, "So this is a combination of a high energy performance record mixed with a club feel and it gets a little radio."

Snoop Dogg is being sued by a promoter in the Middle East who claims Snoop owes him money from a tour, and from damaging his reputation by smoking marijuana at a bar in Beirut, which is illegal.
Courthouse News Services reports that the Lebanese promoter, Roger Kalaouz and Associates, filed a suit against Snoop Dog, Doggy Style Music, and Doggy Style Music president Ted Chung, in Federal Court.
Kalaouz claims that his company promoted Snoop's first concert in the Middle East, a show on August 20th 2009 at the Forum in Beirut, Lebanon. He states in the suit they spent upwards of $80,000 promoting it, "RKA performed all of its obligations under the agreement and incurred out-of-pocket expenses in excess of $800,000 directly related to promoting and arranging the concert."
The complaint continues to explain how Snoop's marijuana-smoking harmed the company, "RKA's longstanding reputation as one of Lebanon's premier entertainment promoters has been severely damages. RKA has been subjected to scrutiny and accusations due to the actions of Snoop Dogg and DSM directly arising from activities to which RKA was not a party."
Kalaouz also claims that Snoop refused to pay consulting fees for a show in Abu Dhabi.
The promoter is seeking damages on a variety of charges, including, breach of contract, fraud, concealment, conspiracy and false promise.
