Slim formerly of 112 speaks about signing with Asylum & Photos from his new video feat. Fab & R.Les

XXLMag.com: How does a nice R&B singer such as yourself end up on an independent rap label like Asylum?

Slim: Shouts to Shakir Stewart [Senior Vice President of Def Jam], you know we’re boys. He was like, “I get your music.” I’ve been in the major system for so long, it was just becoming monotonous. I want to do something my way, my own imprint. He made the phone call to Joie, Joie sent Sickamore to Atlanta to hear the music. You should have seen this whole episode. I’m driving up, Sickamore stands out in front of the spot, he sits in the back of the car and says, “Play me some music.” I play the first record, and the first record must have got him. He is trying his best in the car like “Okay, go to the next one.” Next song was “So Fly.” He has his brim over the eyes, “Could you go back to the first one, okay.” Then he goes back inside to get the CD. He must have played it for the people he had inside. He comes back, and says “Come up.”

That sounds like some secretive stuff going on. Some Mafia type stuff? When we go inside he had his whole street team. He was like “Your music really sounds good.” So that’s how things got started. I didn’t really want to do a solo project, but I did want to start my own label. Everybody knows that I have a distinctive sound, working with 112. To get the ball rolling it’s easy, so that’s why I came with Love’s Crazy. But I have other projects coming. I’m working with Faith. I am working with a nineteen-year-old rapping sensation, Diesel aka Fresh money. I have my group Ivy League. I am doing an album with 8Ball of 8Ball & MJG; we call it Fatboy Slim: The movie. We are bringing the best worlds of both worlds, Memphis and Atlanta. We are coming together.

Update:Chicago police find body of JHud's nephew

TMZ is reporting that Chicago police have found a body matching the description of Jennifer Hudson's nephew Julian King.

King has been missing since Friday when his grandmother Darnell Donerson, 57, and uncle Jason Hudson, 29, were found shot to death in Darnell's home.

The body of a seven-year-old boy was found in a white SUV that is the one that reportedly belonged to Jason Hudson and has been sought in conjunction with the case.

Suspect William Balfour, the estranged husband of Julian's mother Julia, was reportedly arrested only a few miles from where the SUV was found. He has not been charged with anything as of yet.

The medical examiner has not released an ID of the body yet.

Jennifer, the Oscar-winning singer and actress, has offered a $100,000 reward to anyone who found her nephew.

I'm left speechless..... this is an extremeley trying time for the Hudson family and all we can do is keep them in our prayers and hope they are able to overcome this with time... Time heals all wounds.

Kanye in the studio with Big Boi

Kanye West visits Big Boy's Neighborhood from qdeezy on Vimeo.
Kanye West was in the studio with Big Boy recently promoting his new album “808s and Heartbreak”. During the interview, Kanye revealed he will not be doing any “rapping” on the new album and that he is coming back for his number 1 spot. The most crushing part of the interview was when Big Boy read a statement from Kanye in the newspaper that said: “I talk so much about labels, calling myself the Louie Vuitton Don…the irony of it all is for me to loose the most important person to me to Hollywood.” and Kanye West elaborates “I feel like if me and my mom never moved to Hollywood she would still be here”.

Kim K celebrates at LAX

No sign of an engagement ring just yet but sources are saying we can expect a proposal around the holidays. In the meantime I will love them being in soooo much love!

Update: The FBI has been called in

Authorities have arrested William Balfour, the estranged husband of Hudson's sister Julia. A friend of Julia's exclusively told E! News that Balfour, 27, is not the biological father of the missing boy. Just hours ago Julia Hudson, Jennifer Hudson’s sister and mother of missing 7 year old Julian, gave a public plea for the safe return of her son. Julian’s biological father, Greg King, was also at the podium (on right). Julia, who we haven’t heard from since she reported her child missing yesterday afternoon, says she was the person who broke the tragic news to Jennifer about their mother and brother’s death. Here’s a snippet of the Chicago Tribune coverage and you can go here to see the video of her plea:

“All I ask, I don’t care who you are, just let my baby go,” she said to reporters and relatives. “I just want my son back. He doesn’t deserve this.”

Standing next to Greg King, Julian’s father, Julia Hudson described her son as an “easy-going” child who would rather stay home and read a book or hang out with his grandmother than play outside.

When she called her sister, Jennifer, Julia said the Oscar winner “was screaming” and “flew in right away.”

“It hurts. We’re in a state of shock. I don’t know what else to do but pray,” Julia Hudson said.

She urged the public to keep your eyes and ears open and to call out Julian’s name or “Juice Box” or “Dr. King,” other names he answers to.

“He’s out there. Just let him go,” she said, her voice cracking.

Asked what she would say to her son now, Julia Hudson said: “I love you. Mama’s looking for you.”

Julia Hudson said her mother and her son were “extremely close.”

“I worked, so he was always with her, day in and day out,” she said. “She did everything for him. She got him ready for school. She got him ready for bed.”

She said Julian is smart, has a good sense of direction and knows where he lives. She described him as a “sensitive child” who “doesn’t like to get hollered at.”

She pleaded with Julian’s abductor: “Give me my baby back, that’s all I ask. I know he’s out there. Just let him go.”

Asked her greatest fear and greatest hope, she said: “My greatest fear has already happened. My greatest hope is for him to come back.”
The FBI was called into the search because of the possibility that the boy was taken across state lines. Law enforcement sources tell the Chicago Tribune that they were hoping to find Julian when they picked up Balfour but that the boy was not with him.

Updated Story- On the slaying of JHud's mother & brother

"We can confirm that there is an ongoing investigation concerning the deaths of Jennifer Hudson's mother, Darnell Donerson, and her brother, Jason Hudson. No further comment will be made and the family has asked that their privacy be respected at this difficult time."

Hours after Jennifer Hudson's mother, Darnell Donerson, and an as-yet unidentified male were found shot to death in Donerson's Chicago home and a 7-year-old boy went missing, a next-door neighbor tells E! News that she heard gunshots Friday morning and believes that the killings are related to an ongoing domestic dispute.
Angela Russell, who lives next door to Donerson on Yale Avenue in the South Side neighborhood of Englewood, says that she thinks that Hudson's sister Julia was having domestic troubles with her husband, whom she had talked about divorcing.

"It has been pretty rough for a while," says Russell. "We do know that Ms. Hudson's oldest daughter was having trouble with her husband. We do know that there were some domestic issues going on and we believe that is what this all about. "
Chicago Police spokeswoman Monique Bond said the deaths appeared to be the result of domestic abuse, but she declined to elaborate.
Russell says that Donerson, who she referred to as Ms. Hudson, babysat everyday for Julia's son Julian King, who has been reported missing.
"She babysat for him everyday when her daughter was at work," says Russell. "[Julia] was here daily."
Russell says that Donerson never expressed any interest in leaving the neighborhood. And contrary to crime statistics, Russell says the community is relatively safe. In fact, Hudson lived with her mother in this house up until recently, she says.

Russell says that she is now trapped in the house because of the police outside and the neighbors are waiting for Hudson or her sister Julia to tell them about the funeral arrangements.
"We know the Amber Alert is out and the police just held a police conference," Russell says. "We are still waiting for Jennifer to get here. We know that Julia is still with the police at the station."

Sit the eff down

It's pretty damn noticeable that SuperHead has indeed been knocked up, I mean really can she stand any harder poking her belly out and rubbing it????? WTF is wrong with this bitch?! You're about to be someones mother for the second time around, I'm sure your sons head is beyond fucked up... so what in the world would possess you to still get on here carrying a child talking about who's on your shit list? I don't give a fuck how much bread you're getting there's nothing classy about being pregnant and using that protruding belly to get you more hits on your site......my advice to you Karrine is to sit the fuck down and actually try concentrating on trying to be the best possible mother you can be to your baby, instead of wasting time in front of your imovie trying to conjure up new ways to get us bloggers to write about who knocked you up this time......

Who's the mama????

I was a bad blogger yesterday but that didn't stop me from reading other sites and learning that Lil Wayne stepped out on his fiance Nivea again (this time with a nail tech/stripper) while blogs everywhere reported this woman below as the baby mother to Wayne's bouncing baby boy..Miss Info got down to the bottom of things and reported that the less made up Asian at the bottom is actually the woman that gave birth to Wayne's baby. I'm sure Wayne has been slamming down these two ladies as well as a handful more so now we all wait for the TMZ to get that clear shot of whom that real mama really is.....

Are you watching??? I know I am!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta are shaking up the internet as well as blog sites with their intriguing kept woman lifestyles.

Justin Timberlake retires?????

You can let out the breath of air you were holding in for the two seconds you read the title. Rest asure Justin is not retiring, but he is retiring his overrated "Sexy Back"

This past Friday at the “Justin Timberlake and Friends: A Special Evening Benefiting the Shriners Hospital for Children” the singer announced that he was officially retiring the song from the pop music world, he then performed it one last time.
Didn’t think a song could actually be retired? Well, then you underestimated the musical power that is Justin Timberlake.
Timberlake said he intends to concentrate on writing more songs for other artists and himself. Before you get too sad, expect to still hear the song at clubs, on the radio and anywhere else, except from Timberlake’s mouth.
