Busta Rhymes signs with Murder Inc. Records

As you may have previously heard, Busta Rhymes has been dropped from Interscope Records. Also, he has re-established a friendship with Irv Gotti and Murder Inc. Gotti heard about Busta being dropped from Interscope and agreed to fulfill an exclusive distribution deal for Busta and his Flipmode Records until 2014. When asked about the signing, Murder Inc. head, Irv Gotti said: 'I spoke to Dr. Dre about the situation, and he agreed to let Busta out of his contract. I know we had our issues with Aftermath and Busta Rhymes in the past, but we were able to talk it out back in '06 and we cool with Eminem, Dr. Dre, Busta, and them. Not 50 and G-Unit, but honestly, we are now focused on making beautiful music together.' Despite this, Busta's album, Blessed, will be released on Flipmode/Aftermath/Interscope. The Flipmode camp has yet to respond to the signing.

Ja Rule ft. Robin Thicke - Pushin' It

Wow, who expected this one Ja and Thicke. Well, I didn't, despite that I think that this is a great sounding song. Robin's voice is on point and meshes well with Ja's lyrics. This is single potential, TRL will eat this one up. I know Ja Rule has many haters, but you can't deny this song, come on, now. If Ja keeps coming like this, he'll be back where he was in 2002, and Irv's show might come back. Anyway, this is the third single from Ja's seventh album, The Mirror. The album is currently set for an August 19, 2008 release on Murder Inc./Universal.
