The video for "Coffee Shot" just premiered on BET's Access Granted. I don't think anyone said "Bad Boy" one time during the whole show...
In the video, Joc plays a handful of different characters (one of them an old man, including make up that takes 3 and 1/2 hours to put on and an hour to remove, another a short cashier (the high pitched voice featured throughout the track)). The video revolves around Joc's shop where you can buy anything. Anything. CDs, shoes, cars, passports, birth certificates, whatever. Yung Joc's dad is in the video, posing as the man who sells the vacant shop to Joc.
At the beginning of the video, you can hear "Everybody Know Me" by Boyz N Da Hood. The video features cameos from Block, DJ Drama, Boyz N Da Hood, Rick Ross, Lloyd, 8 Ball & MJG and Brandy "Ms. B" Hambrick (I believe).
If Rocsi's closing message on today's 106 & Park is any indication, it seems like Yung Joc's appearance on 106 & Park tomorrow is going to be a performance.

According to BET, Yung Joc will be on 106 & Park on Thursday. I would imagine that he'll be there to introduce a video for "Coffee Shop", but really, I'm not sure.

Update: We are now closed to questions. Thank you.
Although it's not a given, it's very possible that I'll be sitting down for an interview with Yung Joc in the near future. So, in preparation for that, I wanted to put out a call to you to see if you had any questions for him. Please let me know in the comments section and suggest as many as you would like.
I appreciate any suggestions and I will take all of your question ideas into consideration for the actual interview, assuming it happens. If you suggest a question that I can ask - I'll ask it! Thanks.
Yung Joc's "Hustlenomics" has been pushed back to August 28. No other release dates are affected, however. So, Boyz N Da Hood is the next Bad Boy album scheduled to come out, on August 7.
BallerStatus.com has an interview with Yung Joc.
BallerStatus.com: The East is notorious for starting and ending careers with rap battles. Why do you think the South has always been more concerned with having fun then duking it out on wax?
Yung Joc: Yeah, we want to have a good time and get this money. You know, trying to knock a n---- out his position to gain a position, f--- that man. There's enough money for all of us. Here it is: I'm one of the newest inductees in the Top 20 Highest Paid Rappers of '06 in Forbes magazine. If I can be in a list with motherf------ like Puff, T.I., Jay-Z, Ice Cube -- with all these n----- out here getting all this real paper and here it is -- I'm out the gate my first year, that lets me know there's enough money to go around for all of us. I don't think hip-hop is dead, and I don't think the South has taken over. I think people from other places are just regrouping. I don't think the South will be on top forever. But I'm making sure I get mine here while it's doing its thing. ...
BallerStatus.com: Being on a powerhouse label like Atlantic -- with chart toppers like T.I. and Pretty Ricky -- do you feel the label is doing your career justice?
Yung Joc: I definitely do. When the label gave me the opportunity to go in and they allow me to select all the people I want to work with and go in and pick all my tracks. I turn in an album, they say "Alright," they ask "How you want the photo shoot to look?" And they say "Alright." They ask "what kind of video you looking for? How you want your album and your layout to look?" And all they say is "alright." Cause I know a lot of cats that say they're label won't let them do anything. They say I'm lucky. I'm very happy to say, I'm proud to say that Atlantic stands behind me and vice versa. I have a good home. Everything's good right now.
Alright, here is the official cover for "Hustlenomics":
I think it's OK. But, I don't know why they'd use the same image of Joc (albeit with a different background) as they used for the Coffee Shop single, though.
Just an update on these covers. The choice is not confirmed yet - I believe these may be ideas, but the final cover has yet to be determined.
