V-103 has just premiered "Christmas Eve" by Justin Bieber, which was written by Chris Brown. The song will be included on Bieber's upcoming Christmas album, "Under the Mistletoe."
According to his Twitter stream, the song was produced by Bad Boy producer Antwan "Amadeus" Thompson. As I write, the term "Christmas Eve" is a trending topic on Twitter. Listen below.
TIME has released their list of the all-time 100 songs "of enduring beauty, power and inventiveness." Bad Boy checks in twice for Janelle Monae's "Tightrope" and The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Juicy."
The Boombox has an interview with Bad Boy producer Antwan "Amadeus" Thompson, discussing past and present projects.
Why do you think Diddy chose you to join the Hitmen?
Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie was one of the producers in which I met first when I got my first placement. We've always stayed in contact. He's been somewhat of a mentor to me as a producer. I always had that connection, I always had that in to Bad Boy through D-Dot. And I had the opportunity to meet [Bad Boy President] Harve Pierre and Conrad Dimanche who was the head 0f A&R at the time. So I was always in the loop, always submitting for projects until finally I landed a song on Cheri Dennis' album. And also landed a song on Danity Kane's album so that kinda pretty much sealed the deal. He was always aware of the talent I possessed and everything I had to bring to the table. And the topic kinda came up in which me needing producer management. And that's exactly what Bad Boy Hitmen is, producers managed by Bad Boy and Diddy himself.

Earlier this month, LA Weekly published details of a new book written by former Los Angeles Police Department detective Greg Kading.
In the book, "Murder Rap," Kadling publishes testimony from Duane Keith "Keffe D" Davis, a member of the Southside Crips gang. Davis claims that Sean "Diddy" Combs offered him $1 million dollars to kill Tupac Shakur.
Davis says that he was in the white Cadillac that pulled alongside a car driven by Knight, with Shakur seated on the passenger side. According to Davis' account, his nephew, Orlando Anderson, now deceased, fatally shot Shakur from the back seat of the Cadillac. Anderson's involvement has been subject of rumor for years.
LA Weekly published "highlights" from Davis' quoted remarks and, among them, he says that he was never paid by Combs and that he believed Combs had paid another member of the Crips, who had introduced him to Davis, half of the money. The speculation being that he wasn't paid because the hit was allegedly for both Shakur and Knight.

In an interview for Life + Times, dream hampton asked Andre Harrell why he allowed Biggie to go with Diddy, when the latter was founding Bad Boy Records after having been dismissed by Harrell's Uptown Records.
Puff and I agreed on everything that Uptown released, we had the same taste in music. The only thing we disagreed on was Heavy D‘s “Blue Funk.” Rap had gotten darker with [Dr. Dre's] The Chronic and [Heavy D.], who was a party rapper wanted Puff take him darker. I was like “I don’t get this,” I just didn’t understand why you’d take an artist with wide appeal like Hev and make a record his audience wasn’t about. It ended up being Hev’s lowest selling album. It went gold. Before that he was a platinum artist. With Big it was the record where he stole the baby mama chain ["Gimme Da Loot"]. I asked Big, “Do you realize what kind of karma this is gonna bring you and Puff?” I couldn’t relate to the worker on the train robbing women, I asked Puff “Why isn’t Big the hustler giving out work? Why is he playing the guy on the front line?” When you play that guy then people want to test you to see if they can touch the armor, to see if you’re real.
