Yung Joc is featured on a new songe by Candi Pye, produced by Scott Storch. It's called "Get Money".
I'm surprised I didn't hear of this earlier, but he
performed on BET on New Years Eve. He was the final performance on the BET 106 & Park special, performing "I Know You See It" with Ms. B's verse.

The
Detroit Free Press has a quick interview with Yung Joc:
Q.: Why is Southern hip-hop -- Atlanta to be specific -- so hot now?
A.: I think it's the fact that Atlanta is like a multicultural melting pot. A lot of people come through that place. So when they come through they influence some of the things that we do because we get a chance to touch all types of people, just like New York. What happens is it influences our music and we put out music that's ours but it's been influenced by other people in other markets. It feels like people everywhere can relate to it.
According to Chateau Indigo, Yung Joc will be hosting a party at
Rebel in NYC on December 23.
Even though it was certified in October,
Billboard only recently updated the certifications page to reflect that "It's Goin' Down" has been certified 2x platinum. Wow! That's a pretty incredible level of success. "It's Goin' Down" was a really big hit.
If the info I have is correct, this is history. It's Bad Boy's first certified single since "Breath, Stretch, Shake" by Mase, but it is just the third Bad Boy single to be certified multi-platinum - EVER. The other two being "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" (2x) and "I'll Be Missing You" (3x). Given this, it's safe to put "It's Goin' Down" in as one of Bad Boy's biggest hits, ever.
