Earlier this month, I reported that Sean John would be designing the jackets for the 2010 Basketball Hall of Fame class, for the third consecutive year.

The ceremony was August 13 and over on the Sean John blog, you can see photos of the inductees in their jackets, including Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Jerry West, David Robinson and more.

On Twitter, Trae Tha Truth posted a free download link for "General" featuring Brian Angel of Day26.

On Sunday, Diddy/Dirty Money headlined Power 105.1's Power Live concert at the beach at Governor's Island in Manhattan, New York. Rick Ross was also on the bill and they brought out Red Cafe, too. Check out a clip below, care of Cavi Worldwide. It features partial performances of "Victory," "Love Come Down," "Angels (Remix)," "Money, Money, Money" and "B.M.F. (Blowin' Money Fast)." The Power 105.1 website has photos.

On Wednesday, I reported on Gorilla Zoe's upcoming "King Kong" album, with new information provided by a promotional flier. On that flier, the logo for Entertainment One (E1) was included.

I have confirmed with an E1 Music representative that Gorilla Zoe is signed to E1 Music. It doesn't appear that the deal is part of something larger with Block Entertainment, and may instead be specific to Zoe.

For that August 18 article, Russell "Block" Spencer confirmed to me that Zoe was still signed to Bad Boy.

As it stands now, Gorilla Zoe is signed to Bad Boy Records/Atlantic Records/E1 Music/Block Entertainment. What the additional label means for his project is unclear at this time.

Following the previously released photos, Vibe Magazine has released some behind the scenes footage from the shoot for their August/September cover featuring Diddy, Dirty Money, Cassie, Janelle Monae and Red Cafe. Watch below.

Willie Taylor of Day26 has taken his verse from the Bertell led remix of Trey Songz's "Bottoms Up" with Brian Angel and placed it into the original track with Songz and rapper Nicki Minaj. Listen below.

I'm late to the party on this, but yesterday Willie Taylor of Day26 tweeted a link to an article on I'm Not Jaded, reporting that Taylor's wife, Niyana, had given birth to a baby girl named Layla Marie on July 14. Congratulations to the Taylor family.

Check out the clip below for the music video for Rick Ross' "White Sand II." It features a big cameo from Diddy and a smaller one from Red Cafe. Diddy provides a drop for director Spiff TV at the end.

According to the Wondaland Twitter page, Janelle Monae has launched a new webstore with a new women's shirt.

Singer Bertell has put his own spin on Trey Songz's "Bottoms Up" featuring Willie Taylor and Brian Angel of Day26. In the video's description on YouTube, a free download link is provided.
