Gorilla Zoe is featured on XXL's "Karaoke Camera," where he tries to keep up with records like Jay-Z's "99 Problems" and Estelle's "American Boy." Suffice to say, Zoe didn't get to pick the records.

Producer Sonny Digital, who Gorilla Zoe says will produce around half of his upcoming "King Kong" album, revealed to MTV that Zoe was "probably" the first person to hear the beat for YC's "Racks," which Digital produced, and was among those who passed on it.
Check out the official video for "Racks" below to listen to the record.
We have maintained coverage of Zoe, while all of the details were sorted out. Here's another wrinkle: MTV's Rob Markman has a story on the album, following an interview with the rapper. The album, he says, is set for a June 14 release on Block Ent./Bad Boy. Of course, we also know that E1 Music is a part of the picture.
On Twitter, I asked Markman who had told him that Zoe remained with Bad Boy and he was kind enough to respond, saying that Zoe had told him.
In the interview, Zoe said that Diddy was "hands-off" on the project and that both he and Russell "Block" Spencer give him freedom musically. The article also mentions that Gucci Mane, T-Pain, Yo Gotti and Lil' Jon are all set to feature on the set, which will also have production by Zaytoven, Drumma Boy and Sonny Digital, who produced around half of the album, according to Zoe.
