Elektra Records has announced that rapper/singer Cee-Lo Green will be releasing his solo album, Lady Killer, through the label later this year.
In the meantime, fans of the eccentric Goodie Mob/Gnarls Barkley member can check out his single “Georgia” when it’s released on May 11.
Cee-Lo and Elektra Records have yet to announce an official release date for what will be Cee Lo’s first solo album in over five years. Lady Killer will feature production from Salaam Remi, Jack Splash, and Fraser T. Smith.
In other Hip Hop news, iconic rapper KRS-One has decided to boycott the newly-opened National Museum of Hip Hop located in the Bronx.
“The reason that it’s not going to happen is because Afrika Bambaataa has said this event is illegitimate and should not happen,” said KRS-One at an event last week, reports BallerStatus.com. “None of the pioneers are in support of this event. 
None of them will be here tonight. I am here on behalf of the Temple of Hip-Hop as an observer. We are observing.”
KRS-One was initially on board to help with the creation and opening of the National Museum of Hip Hop, but left the project when he realized they were taking a route he didn’t approve of. KRS-One also stated at last weeks event that both he and Afrika Bambaataa will create their own museum.
“We have been trying to start a hip-hop museum for over 20 years,” KRS-One added. “In fact, it was Afrika Bambaataa that came up with the idea. However, most of the people who have been behind the hip-hop museum idea seem to always create groups without addressing the pioneers themselves.”
I hope it’s true that Cee lo has something this year, no more push backs, release it this year and on day which it was first schedule.
The Bronx be buggin. First they gon NOT make Sedgewick and Cedars a national landmark even tho thats where HipHop originally started in the South bronx in the 70s.
Now they gon make a Nation Museum of HipHop and NOT reach out to Afrika Bambata, KRS and the HOST of other pioneers out the Boogie Down including Diamond D, Fat Joe, Buckwild, Lord Finesse, maaan the list goes on and on.
Just some opportunist leeching off the culture man.
In more positive news, Cee Lo is a beast. Get ya money meng. I aint even know Elektra was still around.
Just some opportunist leeching off the culture man
^ Thats what its looks like.
Man this shit must must be represented correctly with the pure unadulterated truth.. word!!!
Jay-Z, 50 and Diddy should pick up the bill for an office Hip-Hop museum in the Bronx!!!! It’s an amazing idea that would attract people from all across the world. Plus the Bronx could use some tourism dollaz. It just has to be executed properly. It should also have the support of Afrika Bambatta, Grandmaster Flash and Kool Herc.
This museum would attract heads from Germany, Japan, Canada, The U.K, France etc. Hip-Hop is worldwide. This idea would cost millions and is long overdue.
Jay, 50, Diddy…. invest back into the culture!
^^^^^^^^ i like this guy.
Me too C-Arson, me too.

KRS-One….usually I dig what he says and does…but here, the dude’s got NO REASON to boycott this thing other than his inflated ego–or at least it seems that way from the article.
Does anyone know any of the specifics?

As long as it’s Cee-Lo and not that Gnarles Barkley shit.
i like all Cee-Lo shit, including Gnarls. Apparently there will be a third Gnarls record, it’s just a question of when.
The museum situation MAY be true, but at the same time the last I heard KRS-One didn’t pay for it or have money invested in the museum. Why should they ask for HIS feedback and what they should do with THEIR money. KRS-One need to quiet down on this one.
Your right, he didn’t have any money in the original project and it really is their project and his word. But KRS-One is one of the originators of true 4 pillar Hip Hop. Him and Afrika were there at the beginning when rhymes were just being said on top of rhythms. If he decided to no longer endorse this supposed “National Museum of Hip Hop” because of the direction that the organizers were going in, then wouldn’t you trust the most knowledgeable person on the subject over a museum committee?

Ok you was hot back in the day, yeah your a pioneer but you don’t own hip hop you or bambaata. I don’t know what the issue is but he think people needs the ok from him to start a museum? WHAT? Are you the Hip Hop Ambassador, is there a commission on hip hop affairs, hell no it ain’t hip hop is universal and no one is bigger than it and it’s not owned by no one. Start your own shit like you said. It’s funny how these old rappers stay relevent by hating on anything new that they are not involved in in hip hop
