Late Sunday night into Monday morning, Brooklyn’s own Fabolous was locked in the lab with up-and-coming West coast crooner, Ty Dolla $ign. “Started my career 13 yrs ago with a song called “Can’t Deny It” which featured one of the hottest on the West Coast, Nate Dogg,” Fab wrote on social media. “Now here I am again working wit one of the hottest on the West again. Me & @tydollasign been in the studio making some good music,. Y’all gon get this work!! In my best Loaded Lux voice… And we work til the sun comes up..” Of course, he capped it off with a ton of hilarious hashtags in true Fabolous fashion. I’m excited to hear what these two come up with, especially with the way Fab prefaced the collab. From what I’m told by my little insiders, this track is going to belong to Ty, and may end up on his debut album Free TC, due out later this year on Atlantic Records. However, Loso later posted a photo in the studio with Mariah Carey, so he may be working on a project of his own where this song could live. Either way, I wouldn’t be surprised if our very own Funk Flex makes a movie out of this premiere…and with Ty on the Summer Jam bill, who knows if we may get to see this one live come June 1st!

Def Jam Furious With Kim Kardashian Over What?
Kim Kardashian stars in her fiancé Kanye West’s new video “Bound 2,” and upon its release, posted her own copy on her personal YouTube page. Music videos, especially that of a huge artist like Kanye, are big deals to record labels, with endorsement money and statistics and tons of other important factors playing a part in the specific placement of the visuals: typically the artist’s YouTube or VEVO page. Needless to say, Kanye’s label Def Jam was allegedly furious with Kim’s post. “Whatever Kim or Kanye were thinking, it was a ridiculous decision made without consultation,” a source said. “Kanye is an artist signed to Def Jam and it is the label who makes decisions about where videos and songs are released, not Kanye — and most certainly not Kim. From what the label can gather, Kim totally acted on her own accord. Her decision has cost the label a serious amount of money — and in the process, made her revenue from advertising on her YouTube page.” The video has since disappeared from Kim’s page, now replaced with a link to Ye’s VEVO page.
