According to the background image on Red Cafe's Twitter profile, the rapper will release "American Psycho" in October. Numerous outlets are referring to it as a mixtape, but I couldn't find an actual confirmation of this by the rapper. His upcoming debut album is titled "The Shakedown," a fact reinforced by the recently released clip below, a video for "Champagne for the Pain" which features a mix of performance footage and more.
In August, E-40 released the music video for "Function (Coast to Coast Remix)," which features Young Jeezy, Problem, Chris Brown, French Montana and Red Cafe. It was directed by Fredo Tovar and Scott Fleishman of APLUSFILMZ. Watch below.
"Champagne for the Pain," Red Cafe's collaboration with Young Jeezy that was originally teased in August, was released by TheMixtapeHustle.com last month. Check out the single cover, listen and download below.
TMZ is reporting that Diddy was wanted by "American Idol," but the two sides were apparently unable to come to an agreement because he is "definitely out of the picture."
Here are Bad Boy's positions on the most recent Billboard U.S. album and single charts, released today. French Montana's "Pop That" isn't slowing down.

Complex and Vibe are reporting that Chris Lighty has died. Lighty was best known for founding Violator and managing artists like Mariah Carey, 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes and Diddy.
It recently came to light that the Revolt brand, under which Diddy announced a TV network earlier this year, would also extend into films. If you follow Diddy on Twitter, you know that he's been promoting the new film "Lawless," starring Shia Laboeuf, Guy Pearce, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy and Jessica Chastain.
