According to the Bad Boy MySpace, Joc will be on MTV's TRL at 1:00 PM ET.

Both Best Buy bonus tracks, "Hold Up" and "Do It" are produced by Dana "Dee Jay Dana" Ramey. They both feature Durt Boy.

Update: It's Durt Boy, not Dirt Boy. He appears to be an artist signed to Block Entertainment.

Updating a previous story, the bonus tracks that are being sold with "Hustlenomics" are as follows.

The Circuit City exclusive is "Coloso" featuring Gorilla Zoe. The Best Buy exclusive tracks are "Hold Up" featuring Durt Boy and "Do It" featuring Durt Boy.

Finally, if HMV is correct, it seems that the Japanese version will have "Hold Up" in addition to "It's Goin' Down", as previously reported.

You can listen to a snippet of this track on iTunes.

Today marks the first Bad Boy release since "Ridin High" by 8 Ball & MJG was released on March 13. It's "Hustlenomics" by Yung Joc. You can buy it now on Amazon.com. For information on bonus versions, please check out the our previous story on the subject.

I'm just watching 106 & Park, waiting for the Making the Band 4 Guys and Juelz Santana (co-hosting today) mentioned that Joc will be performing live tomorrow on the show.

Joc was featured in the August 18 issue of Billboard on in a feature on Chris Hicks. He's featured in a list of writers that were brought to Warner/Chappell Music by Mr. Hicks. In a list of 20 poeple (ordered by number of titles to chat on the Hot 100 or R&B/Hip Hop Songs charts), Joc is T7th, behind only Bryan-Michael Cox, Jazze Pha, T.I., Lil' Wayne, Danjahandz and Paul Wall. Bad Boy, Diddy and Boyz N Da Hood are briefly mentioned in the article. It also features a couple of quotes from Block and how Hicks helped him when he was getting into the music industry.

In the August 15 issue, "Hustlenomics" gets a half page write up, focusing on the upcoming album and the marketing push behind it. It notes that Joc will have a line of potato chips through Rap Snacks (their site already lists some Yung Joc snacks available) as well as a line of jewelry (designed by him) through Icebox.

Deepa Shah at AllHipHop.com has a fairly unkind review of "Hustlenomics".
