Back in April, I reported that Diddy was planning a grime remix to Dirty Money's "Hello Good Morning" and had spoken to producer and rapper Skepta. Diddy said he wanted an "authentic grime remix" and, in May, it was confirmed that Skepta was working on it.

It premiered on Monday in the U.K. on KISS 100. On his Twitter, Skepta posted a link to Grime Daily and that site has a YouTube video that Skepta himself also shared. It's radio rip of the premiere, with Skepta and host Logan Sama spinning the record back and talking. Listen below. The clearest, full cut of the record starts at the 4:14 mark.


I am trying to find out when the track will be available for legal download and will report back when I do.

In the clip below, Janelle Monae extols the virtue of the artistry of singer Bilal, who is set to feature on Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris."

The latest Ciroc-presented music video is Vado and Cam'Ron's "Speakin' in Tungs." Watch it below and check out the behind the scenes footage I posted in July.

Concrete Loop has photos from Cassie's feature in BUST Magazine's Fall Preview. There is an interview snippet, as well.

XXLmag.com has come up with their list of the five greatest interns in hip-hop history and, with no surprise, Diddy is number 1. But, Kanye West checks in at number 4 with ties to Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie during his Bad Boy days.

Today, NPR's "50 Great Voices" feature highlights The Notorious B.I.G. with an article by Frannie Kelley. It includes quotes from jazz saxophonist Donald Harrison, childhood friends Sam Hubert and Mike Bynum and rapper AZ.

A source told TVGuide.com's Stephen Battaglio that FOX and 19 Entertainment, the production company behind "American Idol," that a decision has been made regarding Simon Cowell's replacement on the show. Further, an announcement will be made during FOX's Television Critics Association summer press event on August 2.

Battaglio indicates that there could be multiple announcements made, even a complete overhaul of the judge lineup.

Back in May, Diddy expressed his interest in becoming a judge on the show and, in June, we launched a new Diddy For Idol mini-site to promote the effort.

On Saturday, Diddy sent this tweet: "10-12-10". Though no further elaboration was provided, it will be natural for people to think that October 12 may be the new release date of Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris." Last week, it was revealed that the album had been pushed back to October.

On her Twitter account, Dirty Money's Kalenna retweeted a tweet from the KalennaPromo account which said "OCTOBER 12TH.... LTTP."

I have been unable to get further confirmation.
