Peace to Jadakiss. We ran into him at Nas' birthday party last week (see "Usher, Kanye, Diddy, Nick Cannon, Kelis Kick It Old-School At Nas' Big Birthday Bash") and he told us he has some real fire coming — and that the LOX are about to make a major power move. Meanwhile, Styles P. finally has a release date for Time Is Money. It's coming on November 14 and he's about to shoot a video for the remix of "Who Want a Problem."
"I got my partners on the remix," Styles said. "So I'm gonna go with that one. I probably added a couple of more songs to the album [from the version that was supposed to come out last year] and took some songs off. I been working on the album for years. When I found a big, big song, I put it on there. I got, like, three albums done. Most likely I'm going to let some songs go [to the underground] and keep some in the stash.
"I just want to get it out, man," the Ghost added. "I'll push the album from there. I just want the opportunity. I know it's a lot of loyal and dedicated fans who have been waiting." SP also has two mixtapes coming before the LP drops. "I'mma put one out, 'cause I need some love in the South, so I'm gonna do a DJ Drama Gangsta Grillz, then I'm gonna do one with DJ Clue."
The LOX's label, D-Block, is continuing to build up as well. J-Hood is going to finally deliver his solo LP soon and the LOX have also added a pop/R&B singer to the fold as well as a reggae artist and, of course, a string of new MCs. "We're just working," he says. "Hood is coming soon. We just want to get our sh-- right with the radio. We just made four to six new songs, but we need that radio buzz to be extreme."
