The other day, director Gaberiel Heart shot the video for 8BAll & MJG new hot single featuring Grand Hustle artist Young Dro called “DJ Bring it Back.” Isn’t he deliciously handsome?  ExclusiveAccess.net

Earlier this week, a verified Twitter page supposedly belonging to rapper T.I. sprang up on Twitter.com. Curiously, I had just gotten off the phone with a highly placed exec at Grand Hustle Records when I noticed this @Tip page on Twitter. We spoke for over an hour and not once did he mention a new Twitter page for T.I. It made no sense because anyone who knows T.I. knows that he’s too cool for Twitter. It turns out the page was created by T.I.’s label Atlantic Records (but verified by T.I.) for promo purposes only.

T.I.’s baby mama, Tiny (probably on instructions from T.I.), took to her twitter page the same night to inform her followers that T.I. was not on Twitter. She did this likely because neither Tiny nor T.I. like misleading their fans. T.I.’s niece Kamaya also confirmed that he was not on Twitter. After making some inquiries, I learned that you will see promo tweets on that @Tip page but it won’t be T.I. himself updating it. Meanwhile, the webmaster of T.I.’s website posted this cover for T.I.’s first single since being released from prison titled “I’m Back” (T.I. will be released from a halfway house later this month).


Shawn “Tubby” Holiday, Sr. VP of A&R at Interscope Records, is one of the most influential execs in the biz. He’s currently in the studio working with Puffy and Dirty Money to finish their album. He’s also working The Game on his new album. If you want a record deal, this is the man you need to see. He can make things happen for you quickly. Tubby’s friends threw him an intimate power dinner for his birthday at Mastros in Beverly Hills over the weekend. Click image to enlarge.
