Hit Quarters has an interview with Bad Boy A&R director Daniel "Skid" Mitchell. He talks about the business, his future projects, Janelle Monae and more, in addition to a small update on Cassie's project.

Cassie’s upcoming second album for Bad Boy looks like it’ll be moving beyond the confines of a particular genre. Can you reveal what the current status is with it?

She’s working on it. It’s in progress. She did about 50 records - she has a lot of songs - and she’s just still working on it, taking her time. She wants it to be something that people are going to respect, and she’s just really trying to have fun with her next album.

She has improved a lot vocally, and her sound is more of a custom sound for her. Her first album ( ‘Cassie’) was mostly Ryan Leslie produced and written, and with this next album she has different producers, different writers, some stuff she’s been co-writing, and so it’s more personal for her.

Levi's has brought on Janelle Monae to help them spread the word about their new online community for young women, Shape What's to Come. They taped the "Music as a Means to Unite" feature, which you can watch below, and Monae will participate in a live videocast on November 3 at 4 PM ET.

If you'd like to submit questions for Ms. Monae for the interview, please leave them in the comments below. I'll pick as many as five and send them off to a representative from Edelman Digital, who is working with Levi's on this campaign. The odds of them being asked are not great (every publication they reached out to is allowed to submit as many as 5 and then from all of the questions that are submitted from all of the publications, only 3 are selected), but you never know. Try to make it a good one!

Edit: We are no longer able to accept questions. Thank you.

On Saturday, I wrote about the various signs that were pointing to i SQUARE being the latest act signed to Bad Boy and the first announced signing of the partnership between Diddy and Damon Thomas that created The Pentagon.

This has now been confirmed. Group member Destiny confirmed it to me via Twitter and this was followed by the release of the "Hey Sexy Lady" music video, which ends with "copyright 2010 PENTAGON/BAD BOY/INTERSCOPE RECORDS."

The group is comprised of three males - Mike J, Briddy and 10Bets - and one female, Destiny. According to their Facebook page, they formed in 2009 at Babyface's Brandon Way studios in Los ANgeles. At the time, Mike J was producing and writing and Briddy was interning. Thomas suggested they worked together and the other two members were brought in after that.

The about page on their website lists all of their individual Twitter profiles (collectively, they are @isquaremusic) describes some of their influences and says that the group makes "music that celebrates YOU, and encourages you to have FUN with life."
