Just days after revealing that Def Jam Records will be releasing his next CD "Thug Motivation 103" on September 20th, Young Jeezy has dropped some more news to the media. He personally told us that his album's first single will be entitled "Shake Life". Jeezy has already filmed a music video for it, and Def Jam plans on sending it to all DJs and urban radios by August 1st. The trap star was also excited to highlight that another possible single will be called "I Do" and there will be 2 versions on the album - one featuring Andre 3000 (from Outkast), and the other featuring JayZ & Drake. To go along with all of this, Young Jeezy is also scheduled to embark on a summer US tour, starting on July 29th.

BlackStar announces Full Album Tour, and Confirms that Raekwon, Ghostface, & Mobb Deep will Join Them For Some Dates!

For my real Hip-Hop heads out there...this bit of news has me excited. Legendary rap group Mos Def & Talib Kweli (better known as BlackStar) have recently enjoyed performing together during this year's Rock The Bells tour, and have decided to keep the momentum going. With Rock The Bells coming to an end next month, Blackstar has announced that they are extending their 'full-album tour' set until the beginning of October. For anyone that isn't aware, the buzz behind this 'full-album' set is that they are performing their classic album "Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are BlackStar" in complete tracklist order. If that's not enough they have now added both Wu-Tang's Raekwon & Ghostface Killah, and Queens-duo Mobb Deep to the tour bill as well for some shows. Respectively, Raekwon & Ghostface will perform "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx" in completion; while Mobb Deep will perform "The Infamous" in completion. If any of yall know me, I'll be there in person down in Miami Beach on both September 15th & September 27th. Check out the list of dates & venues below to see if they come near you:
