Pump your brakes and check out the cover art for Chuck and DJ Skee’s upcoming mixtape, Brake Lights. Is The R.E.D. Album still a go? Previously: Game “M.I.A.”

[vodpod id=Video.4045550&w=425&h=350&fv=] In The-Dream’s first TV appearance since his separation became public, he appeared on late night with Jimmy Fallon yesterday. Besides rockin’ his own hits, he sat in with the Roots and, in the above clip, he gives a taste of the record he wrote for Mrs. Carter. Irony for $100, Alex? ru

Here’s a shot from the actual video courtesy of Mr. Dean. Drizzy speaks to MTV from behind the scenes here. No Paris. No problem. Ha. h.e.r. Previously: On The Set: Drake “Fancy”

Looks like Rozay’s release isn’t the only thing goin’ down in three days. Sorry Paul. RD

When Lil Wayne is released from prison later this year, he’s going to answer to Uncle Sam. The Detroit News says the IRS hit Dwayne with a $1.13 million tax lien to his One Family Foundation last month for unpaid taxes from 2004, 2005 and 2007. Two years ago, Weezy was smacked with a $977,840 lien, but paid the debt off soon after. I’m sure he’s got enough cash money to pay this one off or he’ll end up like this guy.

Now that Drake’s back on the road, he appeared at this year’s Bluesfest in Canada last night. He switched things up and for the first time performed “Fancy” and “Paris Morton Music”. After the jump, he leads off with “Show Me A Good Time”. Oh yeah! atf

Guess they couldn’t find anyone for J.Cole huh? Affion returns channeling Hov once again, but this time in an ode to LeBron’s decision. Not as funny as the parody from the other day, but worth a chuckle

As you can see with Andre’s Heisman Trophy pose, it sure looks like more play than work. 57th ave
