In a video on his Facebook profile, Jeremy Greene plays a snippet of a track called "Higher," which he describes as a collaboration with an artist in the U.K., a label mate. What label? Good question, I'm not sure.
In addition he mentions that he is working with Jan Smith, a prominent vocal producer who counts Justin Beiber, Usher, Drake and Trey Songz among her many clients. The "Info" tab on his Facebook page even mentions her as his manager now.
Last week, Yung Joc released a new mixtape, "Ready to Fly." The title track lists it's featured guests as Diddy and K-Nova. Upon listening to the record, Diddy is only featured at the very start and the audio was sounds like it was taken from a phone call.
As best as I can understand, what Diddy says is quoted below.
"Just like how I had it with Biggie, I'm gon' have the understanding with you and you'll have your own freedom to make your decisions. And that's what you told me to get and that's what I went and got. Swagg Team."
Since it does sound like a phone call, it is unclear if this is something Diddy actually said for the mixtape or if it was recorded and/or included on the mixtape with his permission. You can listen to the mixtape below.
A special remixes EP of Gorilla Zoe's "Twisted" was released on iTunes last Monday, featuring remixes by Dulce de Luxe, 8Barz and J Farell, as well as instrumentals of album version of "Twisted" and the 8Barz remix.
Below, you can listen to all three mixes, care of the producers.

Highs and Lows (HAL) and Colab Eyewear have paired up to release a pair of sunglasses inspired by The Notorious B.I.G., aptly called "Biggie."
Here's how it is described on the Highs and Lows website:
After just 5 years in the game the little shop from the other windy city have already conquered collaborations with New Balance and Reebok, and now they have their sights set on their own Colab frame with an homage to the Notorious B.I.G. Drawing from the Coogi sweater, Versace shade era that Brooklyn’s Finest brought to the spotlight, The Biggie is a throwback to the unlikely union between the street urchins and high fashion houses that made the 90′s such a memorable time for hip-hop and fashion in general. One for the dice shakers and investment bankers alike.
They will be available internationally soon, with the retail price of $249.

JSOnline has an interview with Janelle Monae, discussing her rise in popularity, her appreciation of the opportunities she's been given and more.
After Diddy changed his name to Swag for a week, XXL reached out to Lil B, who had recently helped popularize the term or repopularize it, anyway.
"It’s all good," he told them. "Diddy is my family and we finna get in the studio! I'mma have the first feature from Swag."
At the end of January, house and electronic producer Guy Gerber revealed that a collaborative album with Diddy was almost finished and would be his "main album for next year."
At first, Diddy wanted him to do a remix album of Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris," but Gerber wanted to make something "deeper musically."
Now, in an interview with the Miami New-Times blog Crossfade, Gerber talks more about how the album came together.
How did you first hook up with Sean "Diddy" Combs? And what can you tell us about the new mystery album you collaborated on?
Well, he just called me one day and said that he loved my music and sampled one of my tracks for the intro of his album, and asked me to come to New York and hang out in the studio. At this point, he didn't know what he wanted. But I was just working out some beats and some musical landscapes and he was totally into it, even though the music was really deep and weird. Then he said, why don't I make a whole remix version of his album Last Train to Paris, some kind of a more underground interpretation. And I decided to take the opportunity to make something really different. I have to say that Puff really inspired me and pushed me to the limit. And I just took some time off touring and started making music that I'd never done before, and he was really supporting whatever I was doing. I think that is just great that he could have this vision about the whole project.
No official release date has been announced.
In honor of Memorial Day, Complex asked Red Cafe, Raekwon, Sean Price and Heems (of Das Racist) what their favorite cookout foods were. Here's what Cafe said:
"Every Memorial Day for the last, maybe, eight years, I’ve gone to Miami. I’ve been to Cancun a couple times, but usually Miami—the energy is great there. My recipe for Memorial Day is you have to get an apartment, preferably a bachelor pad with balcony. Or a house with a backyard. You need some cool friends that won’t come empty handed. Probably a Red Cafe CD [laughs]. And then you want chicken and shrimp kebabs. I get on the grill, cause you have to make sure the food tastes good.
