Looks like Hov is looking at releasing “Forever Young” as the next single off Blueprint 3. Terrible choice, IMHO. Every time I hear this song, I think of Napoleon Dynamite (which is a great movie, but not a good look for Jay). Here’s Jay-Z on stage with Mr. Hudson, live in London. Props to thehigherplane.net for the footage!

We’re just right around the corner from the new Cee & Bekah mixtape, dropping this Tuesday November 10th! This is the third and final installment of their Soul Movement mixtape series and this time they’ve brought out the big guns by enlisting Mick Boogies & Terry Urban to mix and host.

Check the video above as Cee & Bekah sit down with us to tell us more about Soul Movement Volume 3, as well as the loads of other projects they have in the works for next year. These two are by far the hardest working artists I know in this biz… and hopefully it’s about to all pay off.

Hit the jump to check the latest leak from the new mixtape, “Say”, an original song produced by Infinite Archetype. And if you want to catch up on Soul Movement Vol 1 & 2, you can now check them on Cee & Bekah’s new Bandcamp page!

Oh, and Bekah, we hope you feel better!

As we get closer to the release of Dasha’s Back 2 The Future mixtape, she introduces us to her #8 favorite song… her version of Lil Wayne’s “Mrs. Officer.” Watch out guys… this song is NOT rated PG! If you’re not anticipating this mixtape after hearing this, I don’t know how to help you.
