Here is a clip from the listening party that Janelle Monae held recently in Miami.
On May 28 at 1:35 AM ET, Janelle Monae will be performing on
"Last Call with Carson Daly," according to their website.
At the start of May,
we reported that Donnie Klang would be releasing his new single, "Not Leavin Without U" later in the month.
Well,
while we wait to hear more on his reported departure from Bad Boy, the track has been released. Now dubbed "Without You," it can be heard in our
audio player.
Singersroom.com reports that Donnie Klang is no longer signed to Bad Boy and has signed a deal with 872 Entertainment, run by Tyrrell Bing of Tha Corna Boyz production team. The article says he'll be recording his upcoming second album with them and that he expects to sign a deal with a major label when it comes time to release it.
I confirmed the details of this story with Klang. Requests for comment sent to representatives at Bad Boy Records and Atlantic Records were not immediately returned.
Thanks

When the
BET Awards 2010 nominees were announced, it was revealed that singer Justin Bieber was nominated in the Best New Artist category.
Some have been critical of the move, but at the press conference, Diddy praised the awards show for allowing him to be nominated.
"The awards are important to hip hop and to show [hip-hop artists] in the right light," Diddy is quoted as saying, by
Gatecrasher. "But the beauty of BET is, if Justin Bieber's hot, then he deserves to be on that stage. Sometimes, at other award shows, the color of your skin or the type of music you make takes away from getting the accolade you deserve."
