Diddy and Bad Boy have signed onto a Epic which is a major label and is said to be doing distribution for at least two more albums from Diddy himself. The only semi-big artist Bad Boy has on the label these days are the likes of French Montana and Machine Gun Kelly and now Bow Wow but none of those names are top notch artist right now so this move makes sense. Diddy released this statement about the move , “I have known L.A. Reid since the very beginning and together we have enjoyed countless successes over our long friendship. To now work with L.A. in this capacity feels more like a homecoming than a new beginning. Not only is he a fearless and smart businessman, he believes in artists and understands music better than anyone. He embodies hard work and true success, evident in all of his endeavors.  To collaborate with L.A. Reid is to collaborate with the very best.” Diddy will celebrate this during the 2015 BET Hip-Hop Awards which will be in Atlanta on October 13^th.

N.O.R.E. was caught by TMZ and they asked him about the whole Kanye West 2020 thing and he actually said he would be Kanye West’s biggest supporter. N.O.R.E. can’t vote for him though because he is actually a felon “I can’t vote, I’m a felon, but I’m gonna make everybody that I know vote for [him], that can vote,” N.O.R.E. said. It is great that Kanye is getting support from other artist but he will have to win over a lot more people before he ever gets a real shot at the White House.

Childish has now decided extend an open invitation to all of the fans of the previous show to a new show that will give them the full Childish Gambino experience.

Childish Gambino is not someone who is booed normally and is actually very well respected in the rap community. This was not the case though when Childish did a show at The Cambridge Hotel in Newcastle, Australia. The show was supposed to be more then an hour but he is said to have not said a word for nearly 40 whole minutes spending a lot of time sitting near the back of the stage and getting on the turntables while some members of his crew rapped to his lyrics. Promotion is said to have been mixed up and it wasn’t a Childish Gambino show but a Childish Gambino DJ set so he cancelled his next show and hopefully things get cleared up.

Fresh out of Prison, DMX discusses his plans to get back in the studio in recent interviews: “I’mma make it although it looks rough. I get a little scared,” he said earnestly. “Sometimes shook up. When it’s like that, I get on my knees and look up. Only thing I hate about being famous…you never know who really loves you because everybody is there,” he explained. “Everybody’s there. If their love never gets tested, you never know.

“I take what I been through,” he continued. “Capture it. Capture it and give it away and because I give it away I benefit from it. Then people come and say, ‘Yo, this song did this. Thank you.'”
