With "Welcome to the Zoo" released, I thought I'd talk about some of the tracks and features that had been discussed that didn't make the cut or end up panning out.

In April, Block spoke with MTV, saying that Zoe already had songs done for his album with Bobby Brown and Big Boi. In August, Bad Boy issued a bio for the rapper. Bobby Brown was mentioned, once again, alongside Akon as features on the album. A song with Zoe featuring Bobby Brown called "Life of a Hustler" was released online and featured in a tracklist released by the label in August. Akon and Big Boi were probably the two biggest features mentioned for this album. Unfortunately, neither made it, nor did Bobby Brown.

A version of "Tryna Make a Jug" was released online toward the end of August. It featured Big Gee and Rick Ross. The album version just features Big Gee.

In June, Bad Boy released a Sizzle Reel where they indicated that Young Jeezy would be featured on "Hood N****". Though this version was released online, the album version does not feature him.

The afforementioned tracklist featured a few tracks that don't appear to have made the cut, based on track titles. It's possible that they may have made the cut with different titles, however. They are:

"Zoe"
"Battle Up" (Could be "Battle Field"?)
"Locked Up or Dead"
"Won't Let You Down"
"Life of a Hustler a.k.a. Money on the Block"
