According to Aasim on Twitter, his "official single" will be serviced to radio stations soon. Details about the track, at this time, are unknown.
David Harraway, who represents Aasim, has posted "Ridah" for free download.
Aasim seems to be rapping from Diddy's perspective on the record and Harraway labels it as "'Ridah' freestyle reference," which would seem to indicate that the track was recorded as a reference vocal for Diddy to consider.
Here's one more gem from the blog of Geno Sims, former Bad Boy A&R: "Bad Boy BBQ" by The Notorious B.I.G. featuring Black Rob and Ness.
Back in March of 2007, Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie released "Live at the BBQ 2007" by The Notorious B.I.G. featuring Diddy, D-Dot, Ness, Black Rob and Aasim.
"Bad Boy BBQ" is the same record, except with some small changes, no Diddy and no Aasim. Listen below.

On his blog, former Bad Boy A&R Geno Sims has released the orchestral version of The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Warning" that was performed during the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards, which were hosted by Diddy.

Former Bad Boy A&R Geno Sims has released a track for free download on his blog that he says was one of the records created for consideration on Biggie's "Duets: The Final Chapter" album.
The song is "Suicidal Thoughts," which takes the Biggie vocals from the song of the same title on the "Life After Death" album. This reimagining of the song was produced by The Heatmakerz and features The Product G&B, best known for their contribution to Santana's "Maria Maria." Listen below.
Tom Murphy of the Denver Westword's Backbeat blog has an interview with Janelle Monae that talks a lot about her creative influences and her beliefs on individuality.
In some interviews you've encouraged people to be individuals. What do you mean by that, and how would you encourage people to do so?
I just want people to love themselves. And I want people to seek out love. That's all. To be an individual. I can't tell people -- that's just going against it, like, "People need to be this." That's not what I'm here to do. All I'm saying is that we all have to live in the world together. Consider your brother and your sister, consider your neighbor, consider everybody's feelings. That's all. It's not just your world.
Biggie's daughter, T'yanna Wallace, graduated from high school on Sunday. Lil' Cease was on hand for the celebration, tweeting. Congratulations!

Parmy Olson of Forbes reports on the hacking of the PBS NewsHour website.
As part of their efforts, the group responsible for the hack planted a fake and obviously dubious story alleging that The Notorious B.I.G. and 2Pac are both alive, living in New Zealand. The story has since been removed and NewsHour has apologized via Twitter.
