A month ago to the day,
I reported that Aasim would be releasing a new single featuring Dawn Richard titled "We Ride." Aasim has now
released the track.
Download it for free. The record was produced and mixed by Aasim and Tony Dofat.
Update: Initially, this story had indicated that the song was produced by Aasim and mixed by Tony Dofat, as that had been the
official information provided previously. But, Aasim this evening mentioned
on Twitter that the record was produced and mixed by him and Tony Dofat.

Back in July of 2009,
"1,000 Stacks" by Nelly featuring Diddy and The Notorious B.I.G. appeared online. In December of 2009,
we heard that Diddy would serve as a producer on Nelly's then untitled new album. And in June of this year, it was reported that
Diddy would be featured on the album, now titled "Nelly 5.0."
Billboard's Muriel Concepcion confirms that "1,000 Stacks" will be featured on the release, which is simply titled "5.0" and set to hit stores on November 16.
Over on Diddy's Facebook page, there is an image
posted that is presumably the single cover for Dirty Money's latest single,
"Loving You No More" (
free download) featuring Drake. Check it out below.
