(Photos) From The West To The East: Guess Who Fabolous Hit The Studio With Yesterday!
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!

(Video) Which Artist Admits That What Gucci Tweeted About Them Was REAL?!
Well, lookie lookie HERE! I’m guessing Gucci Mane really felt some type o’ way after Atlantic Records allegedly dropped him, because it sent him on an emotional rant. If any of the artists that he put on blast thought of forgiving him before, that’s flown out the window now. Let’s not dive too deep into how mall patrons really feel about Big Guwop. According to one of the emcees Gucci, “outed” during his twitter postings, it actually was TRUE! Hmmmm, wonder what else happened behind that door. Guc wasn’t just posting random situations – this was all for a reason. It’ll come out sooner or later, but for the sooner, hit the jump and check out who hopes that Guwop gets the help he needs.
