News Bits: Diddy, Saigon, Cope 2 & Chor Boogie
According to the New York Post, Bad Boy's Sean "Diddy" Combs may be contemplating leaving Warner Music Group's Atlantic Records for Interscope in the next few months. His upcoming album Last Train to Paris was scheduled to release this November, but may be delayed because of the label jump.
"He's holding off on releasing [the album] until April," an insider told the New York Post. "If he doesn't renegotiate his contract, he might end up releasing on Interscope."
Because Diddy is a good friend of Intersope CEO Jimmy Iovine, a partnership is not difficult to imagine, although Bad Boy without Diddy is to some, unimaginable. Diddy's spokeswoman was unable to comment on the issue.
In other news, Saigon is doing more than finishing up his album Warning Shots 2, which will release on Oct. 6. He will also be participating in a charity event put on by In Arms Reach to give back to children with incarcerated parents. Scheduled to take place at City College in Harlem, NY, the non-profit event will see Saigon personally giving kids guidance in the fields of art and music, and facilitating them with the tools they need to realize their full potential.
This is not the first time Saigon has participated in the event, which gives him an opportunity to give back to the community. The event takes place at Harlem City College on Sept. 29 from 5-7 PM.
Finally, widely hailed graffiti artists Cope 2 and Chor Boogie will be teaming up for the "Beauty & The Beast" exhibit at the Mid-City Graffiti Art Gallery in Los Angeles.
Considered the graffiti "God of Destruction," the Bronx-bred Cope 2 has been called on to create art for TIME magazine and has been featured on MTV's "Artist Spotlight." Chor Boogie has also created art for MTV, and uses graffiti in a spiritual, therapeutic manner.
The two diverse artists will exhibit their work at the Mid-City Arts Museun on Sept. 26.

well well well. EVERYONE knows that Jimmy Iovine is what he is today because of selling his stake in Interscope during the rise in stock price because of Death Row's one-after-the-other platinum albums. So Puffy's working for a company whose success is built upon Death Row - Dre, Snoop, DPG, Pac. It can't get more ironic than this.

Yeah They Wack Son!! Real Wack!!
HoodGrown:
To add to that.. the headline is misleading. Diddy is not leaving Bad Boy for Interscope, he may be moving Bad Boy from Warner Bros to Interscope! Let's get it right!
