Young Money, baby! The Young Money album is slated for November 24, as is Lil Wayne's Rebirth LP, according to a source in his camp.
No doubt about it, the New Orleans Fireman is loaded. Rap's most popular mic king just kicked off Young Money Presents: The America's Most Wanted Music Festival, and one of Weezy's main goals on the tour is to make sure his Young Money artists get shine. While you know all about Drake (he's a Fire Starter alum), Nicki Minaj and newest member Omarion, we thought we'd put you onto game about the rest of the clique. FULL ARTICLE

Recording Your Indie Album: a Pre-Production Checklist
Pre Production
by Clifford Goldmacher
Pre production is everything that you should be taking care of prior to the first time you actually record something in the studio. This includes song selection, arrangement ideas, voice lessons, scheduling session musicians, finding a recording studio/engineer and even starting the process of finding a graphic artist for the CD artwork as well as a duplication house to mass produce your finished master. This can be a daunting amount of work especially if you’re new to the game, however there is someone you can turn to who can help make this process much more effective and significantly simpler.

Music Labels Reach Online Royalty Deal
After a two-year battle, record labels and online radio stations agreed on new royalty rates that cover music streaming.
Many of the music sites had argued that the old rates were so high that they were being forced out of business. That could have come back to haunt the record labels, since for many people the sites are becoming a useful way to discover music.
“This is definitely the agreement that we’ve been waiting for,” said Tim Westergren, the founder of Pandora, one of the most popular Internet radio sites with 30 million registered users.
In 2007 a federal royalty board ruled that all so-called webcasters needed to pay a fee, set to increase to 0.19 cent a song next year, each time they streamed a song for a listener

T.I. Shout Out from Jail "He still GRNDIN!!!"
T.I. Sends Message From Prison In 'Remember Me' Video
On May 26, T.I. arrived at the Forrest City Federal Correctional Complex to begin serving a 366-day sentence stemming from his 2007 arrest on felony weapons charges. And while at least two mixtapes (one featuring Kanye West and Chris Brown) have hit the streets in recent weeks, we've heard nothing official from the man.
On Tuesday (July 14), Tip premiered the video for his duet with Mary J. Blige, "Remember Me," a song that leaked a couple of weeks before he went behind bars. The track is the first single from the re-release of his Paper Trail album, scheduled to hit stores next month (although those plans could change, according to a rep for Atlantic Records). But either way, the video is here, and it represents T.I.'s first official message from behind bars. Full Article
