The project’s title and release remain unknown. In the last two years, Mo Bee has been at work with artists such as fellow Brooklyn native Foxy Brown, Cormega and The Lost Boyz.
In related news, Mo Bee is involved with the Hip Hop Hall Of Fame Awards, which will reportedly take place in New York this fall.
On the west coast, Aloe Blacc’s Good Things will be released September 28.

The album has been written and produced by the Orange County native and the in-house team at Truth & Soul Records, known largely for Funk releases.
Lastly, producer Swizz Beatz has reportedly donated a $50,000 experience to RUSH Philanthropic Art for Life Auction. The Ruff Ryders producer and newlywed husband of Alicia Keys has joined John Legend in offering a high-bidding fan the opportunity to experience an intimate studio session.
