Xzibit is set to drop his new album "Man Vs Machine" in June time on Loud Records. Dr. Dre, Battlecat, E-Swift and DJ Premier (who produced a joint titled "What A Mess") can all be found on the new album.

Masta Ace's great rival, Boogieman is one week away from signing a record deal with Clive Davis' J Records. Also, during an interview, he couldn't help throw shots at Masta Ace, including saying that he doesn't feel Masta Ace wrote the diss track "Acknowledgement" against him.

Big Shug is set to release a new album entitled "Who's Hard" in the very near future. Expect DJ Premier to play a big part in this new album.

During the DJ Premier interview, it was announced that the joint that Ras Kass did with Premo was supposed to be for Jay-Z's last album, "The Blueprint", but apparently Jay-Z wasn't feelin' it.
