"Yeah, it was good getting back with her," Diddy said Wednesday. "We got everything on point [with our friendship] right before she went to jail. When she got out, I was right on the phone with her and we were talking about doing something. We got history together, and it was only right that the first song she's done since she's been out was a joint I produced. She's on a big hit record. She's sounding good and strong. I'm a witness. I was in the studio with her. She ain't miss a beat. She wasn't rusty or nothing. She stepped it up and was even doing some singing too. Her bounce is classic and it's necessary. She definitely is the queen of the game."

"That's definitely true," Diddy confirmed. "Me and Steve have been friends for a long time, and me and Mase have stayed in touch. I think his whole vibe would be a good look for the industry. I think it would be great to see if he could go to Steve Rifkin, especially with the success of what he's done with Akon."

G-Unit�s Ma$e?
Nah, its SRC�s Ma$e now. We are doing a production and distribution deal with him. We don�t have a date for the album yet, but it will be [out] by the end of the year. [It�s] all brand new material.

If G-Unit was having problems getting him off Bad Boy, how did this happen?
Well, he�s taking care of it. Him and Puff are working it out themselves.

Unfortunately the media rarely reports on the positive work within the Hip-Hop Community. Labels like Bad Boy records have made a significant effort to take the lead and become more socially responsible. We have been working with them for over a year in schools and communities across the country to enlighten our youths about issues they are confronted with daily and the dangers of "Art Imitating Life." We will be working with executives and artists like Yung Joc, Diddy, B5, Cassie, Fat Joe, Jim Jones, Kevin Liles, Lyor Cohen, Russell Simmons, Chris Lighty, Daymond John (FUBU) and others to give young people a better prospective of what the other side of Hip-Hop is about-the social, political, economic, educational and spiritual empowerment of a people no matter what race, color creed, religious or ethnic background.
