In the latest issue of The
Fader magazine, Beanie Sigel let
the world know that he is no longer with Def
Jam or Roc-A-Fella Records. Also
stating that he plans on releasing a new mixtape, which will be his first
release since 2005’s The B. Coming.
Def Jam will
officially release the mixtape as it will be Sig’s last project for the label. Reasons behind the decision to
part ways from his former recording home we’re slightly behind the declination to
choose between friends Jay-Z and Damon Dash after the Roc-A-Fella split, as well as what he
thought was poor promotion for his album The
B. Coming.
“That’s like a gift from me for
leaving them,” says Beans about the project. “…I am no longer under Def Jam, signed
with Def Jam, or dealing with Def Jam or Roc-a-fella at all. I got out of my
contract.”

Detroit native, Royce

week. While the specifics regarding the incident are unclear, sources close to

Michigan court.
Before being placed in Detroit’s Oakland County Jail
(awaiting to hear about a possible appeal in the next 30 days), Royce was working on a collaborative
album with legendary producer DJ Premier.
