Uh, it’s Comerica Park. But yes, Bobby Ray is the opening act for the first two Em and Jay concerts. Now that’s a good look. Congrats!

This leaked an hour earlier than Wiz planned, but here’s his new banger dedicated to Rap Radar’s favorite hues. It’s produced by Stargate and is his first single since signing to Atlantic Records.

A round of applause indeed. During NYC’s Rock The Bells stop this past weekend, Busta mets Yelawolf  and pitches him to hop on his Just Blaze-produced track with Twista. Can you keep up?

Hey Gucci, we see you again. Waka recently held an album listening session for his album, Flockaveli and Hood Affairs was there to give us a preview of what was played. Beats sound hard. Maybe because Lex Luger produced over a dozen tracks.

Talking with Grind Music Radio, Nasir’s go-to producer Salaam Remi breaks down how Esco’s “Made You Look” was created. Hey Nas, may not have done what Salaam initially wanted to with the beat, but it sure turned out well nonethelss. They shootin’!

Ah, just like ol’ times. Fabolous Sport appeared on Flex’s show tonight and kicked a couple of freebies. A few of the lines are recycled from his previous TINC 2 mixtape though. In any event, There Is No Competition 2: The Grieving Music EP is available now.

UPDATE: Now with video.

GLC and Bun B head out on the paper chase over a Sir Mix-A-Lot sample. The record’s been in the making since last year, and it’s the first single off LC’s album, Love, Life & Loyalty which drops October 12th. The song’s available on iTunes. On the video’s description, the man himself had this to say:

It is definitely an honor bringing quality music to my believers! To have a record with Bun B &
Sir Mix-A-Lot is a true blessing. Bun was all in from the jump but there is a story behind bringing the great Mix-A-Lot out of retirement.

My man Xcel did the beat & @ the time he’d sampled “Posse On Broadway.” Kanye heard the record & gave his stamp of approval as he & Pimp Glitter sprinkled a lil pimp glitter on the beat. We got up with Mix-A-Lot & his manager Ricardo & they were some of the coolest OG players that a player has conversed with! They decided that they wouldn’t clear the sample, instead Mix-A-Lot would feature on the record as well as the video & they showed a young player love!

The people have spoken and Jay-Z’s Yankees endorsed memorabilia is a home run. MTV traveled to The Bronx and  got fans’ reactions on the limited edition line. Apparently, number 4 is in tribute to Hov’s birthday, December 4th.

Man, Demi Moore’s moves look like Elaine from Seinfeld. During Snoop’s show in Vegas this past weekend, Mrs. Ashton Kutcher strutted her stuff with her husband looking on. Are we being Punk’d?

Check that out! Ha! Once again YMHD comes through with another Limelight Exclusive premiere. This time, Nicki enlists the assistance of Black Eyed Peas frontman, will.i.am. That sample sounds awfully familiar. Can anyone name that tune?
