Fabolous new album "From the Bottom to the Top" was to drop this December but now will be pushed back to February 2007. Due to conflicts with the original October release date, Fabolous said the album was pushed back to December and is now slated to hit stores next year, featuring production by Just Blaze, Jazze Pha, and Kanye West, among others.
He said to AllHipHop "We got a lot of new producers, because it's not really about names, Some of joints on the album that are dope are by guys you may not have heard of, or heard them on a smaller scale. I took joints from everybody." [source]

Sad News: Rev Run and Justine Simmons were expecting a child. The rapper's wife gave birth Thursday, but the scene quickly turned to tragedy after their newborn girl was pronounced dead.
Justine’s pregnancy was the cliffhanger on the MTV show last season. It generated intense interest among viewers who have been anxiously following the pregnancy and awaiting the birth. Simmons, a member of the legendary rap group Run DMC, was at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood New Jersey Tuesday for the birth of his child. Doctors delivered the baby via c-section, revealing a cruel twist of fate — the baby girl was born with organs outside the body. The newborn died a short time later.

New Interview with Mya... she's talks about Game and 50 Cent.

In the past you have been linked to artists like 50 Cent. Any comments?
Mya: Yes: it’s not true. 50 and I never dated, never cuddled, never did anything, period, despite what he chooses to believe in his own mind. I don’t know how he would get Lloyd Banks confused with me.
Whoa. That’s cold blooooded.
Mya: At the end of the day I laugh because I’ve been linked to Jay-Z, Jadakiss, Wyclef, Sisqo, Game and Damon Dash. I’m like ohhhk, let me see pictures, let me see the sex tape.
Speaking about the Game, what was your initial reaction upon hearing his line on the song “Dreams,” where he says, “I had dreams of fucking an R&B bitch like Mya”?
Mya: Well, I had an A&R inform me of the song before I even heard it. That day I had my birthday party and the Game came through and said he wants to take me out to dinner and I’m thinking, ‘This sucker just called me a bitch on his record.’ So I told him, ‘Nice to meet you, but I have some friends I have to get to.’ I kept it polite, but kept it moving. I was a little pissed at him, before I heard it. But then I realized it was a compliment in a crazy hip hop kind of way. I did his video for the song because the director explained to me that it was just a fantasy sequence and nothing rea
The Game got his OWN SHOE, though. That doesn’t impress you?
Mya: (Laughs). Yea, he got his own shoe. I’m actually happily single though.

After Ras Kass claimed to have been jumped by Game and his Black Wall Street entourage of 30. Game claims that he never had a problem with Ras Kass until the rapper dissed him on the track "Caution" last year, and to add insult to injury named his son, which is something that doesn't fly with the Game. "I never had beef and never met Ras Kass, unless it was a quick exchange saying hello," Game told Allhiphop.com. "He talked about my son by name. You can say what you want about me, but what does my son got to do with it?" [ballerstatus.net]

He says they’ve already chosen six tracks that she’ll record, yet warns against fans having unrealistic expectations about the album’s music production and lyrics, the latter of which will likely avoid mention of her recent challenges.

Atlanta's hip-hop community is coming together for a just cause on September 16, to educate young people about the importance of personal finance.
With the help of Russell Simmons and his HSAN, rappers like Young Jeezy, Bobby Valentino, Paul Wall, Remy Ma, Chingo Bling and DJ Drama will speak on the grounds of the historic black college, Morris Brown College, about financial empowerment, with Ludacris and Jermaine Dpri playing hosts.
"Joining with Jermaine Dupri and Ludacris to host the Atlanta Hip-Hop Summit is a special blessing," said Russell Simmons. "This city is known for its great contributions to hip-hop, as well as being a center for social change in our nation and world. 'Get Your Money Right' is an opportunity for the core of our demographic -- 18-35 year olds -- to gain invaluable information on financial empowerment."
"I'm a firm supporter of the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network. I'm just trying to do my part in giving back and educating our youth on important issues in the community," added Ludacris.
HSAN's partners include Chrysler Financial, the title sponsor, and Anheuser-Busch, Inc., the presenting sponsor. The Hip-Hop Summit is now in its second successful year, bringing together the combination of hip-hop stars and Chrysler Financial experts to speak to students and community members about the importance of financial literacy.
The topics to be covered include the basics of banking, home ownership, repairing bad credit and understanding credit scores, entrepreneurship, and vehicle financing to name a few. With the title, "Get Your Money Right," the HSAN has go on a national tour with stops in three additional cities, including September 30 in Los Angeles, October 14 in Dallas and October 28 in Toronto, Canada.
The "Get Your Money Right" workbook, which will be given to all participants, is available in both English and Spanish and is downloadable on HSAN.org.
