Bobby V’s Tim & Bob-produced “Let’s Get It” derives from his upcoming 60 minutes mixtape. Here’s the visual to the record courtesy of VIBE.
Good*Fella Radio caught up with J.Cole after his performance @ Rutgersfest. He talks about graduating from St. John’s, playing b-ball (wants to be first rapper in NBDL…dead), who he thinks will win the NBA championship (says Lakers), rumored beef with Drake, how he feels his album will be a ‘classic’, his music & more. – Good*Fella Radio

Whilst in Europe on the SOUNDCLASH tour with fellow heavyweight Hip Hop producer The Alchemist, Just Blaze sat down with SoulCulture TV in London earlier this week to discuss todays key issues in music blog culture. Namely: the commonplace battles between bloggers and record labels, and what should be done about it from both sides of the fence. – SoulCulture
Don’t get too excited, because the Kanye West-produced “You Know, You Know” did not make the final cut for Aubrey’s debut album Thank Me Later. Drake however did hit the stage during a show in San Fransisco last night and perform a verse from the record over Goapele’s “Closer” (Comeback Season style). I forgot to match, she was on stage as well. ATF.
J. Cole recently hosted a series of College Conversations. The concept was to have an interviewer from each school’s newspaper shoot and edit the interviews and host them on The Source.com.
Says Mikey Fresh,
On a hectic press day, VIBE was granted access to tag along with the fellas as they hustled through Midtown Manhattan tackling media interviews before wrapping up the day with a sold-out show at the Nokia Theater with G-Unit’s Lloyd Banks.

And so we have the first visual from Puff’s Last Train To Paris opus which is set to drop June 29. Initially Nicki Minaj, whose verse just leaked yesterday, was slated to appear in the video alongside Ross and T.I. but apparently Minaj didn’t approve her look so she was edited it out. Remember, this is all “alleged.” Don’t quote me!
N.E.R.D hosted a super-duper private listening party for their upcoming fourth studio album simply titled Nothing in New York City late last month and Centric TV caught up with the trio to talk about the making of the project.

Uffie returns to the club scene this summer with A.D.D SUV a banging electro crunk monster that sees the Miami-born, Paris-based rapper and future icon, step up to front of the queue 6am hand in hand with fellow rhyme spinner Pharrell.
Poking fun at the rap fraternity’s obsession with possessions, particularly their cars, Uffie was certain she wanted Pharell involved when the track was coming together; I was so excited when I was introduced to him in Tokyo a few years back that I knew if there was ever the right track I would have to ask him to be on it. This was that track and, fortunately, he said yes.
If the dream team of Madonna-collaborator Mirwais, rap-icon Pharrell and Parisian scene-makers Ed Banger wasn’t enough, legendary house-giant Armand Van Helden took the track on a journey back to his roots with the Banging summer anthem remix that is currently hanging tough at No. 3 in the Beatport Charts. Not to leave the underground lacking, the UK’s producer du jour, Hudson Mohawke (Warp) drops synthetic bleeps into a 2 step garage rhythm transforming the track into a thoroughly enjoyable and mind-bending trip through the electronic jungle.
