MTV.com reports that the third single from "New Joc City" will be 1st Time featuring Marques Houston. They are planning a video remiscient of The Notorious B.I.G.'s "One More Chance/Stay With Me" where Mary J. Blige, Aliyah and others lipsynced over the Faith Evans verse. In this case, that would be done with some of the male "teen sensations" of today, such as Omarion and Ne-Yo.

According to MTV.com:


They mention that Joc and Snoop have done a song for it. It seems unlikely, but you never know, I guess. New Joc City has certainly sold well and continues to sell well.

From Billboard:


With Bad Boy being a part of the Warner Music Group, this will most likely mean more online content from Bad Boy (even if we've already seen it).

According to Crain's through The New York Observer:

A bulletin from Diddy's official MySpace.com page says that Diddy wants to meet some of his MySpace friends that are in Philadelphia. He'll be there tomorrow to kick off the Press Play promo tour.

Here are some more things to think about in regard to that Press Play tracklist:

Are Kanye and Pharrell performing or not? The New York Times article said that "he has recorded with an array of heavyweight friends, including Kanye West, T. I., Pharrell, Jamie Foxx and Big Boi of OutKast." So, from that, it's hard to say. But, if Kanye and Pharrell are on there, they weren't on that tracklist.

WikiPedia's page for "Press Play" has a couple of potentially useful tidbits on it. First, Scar is a male R&B; singer signed to Big Boi's label. You can listen to him on their site. This makes sense because the track listing had Scar as appearing on the song that has Big Boi and Ciara on it. So, it's probably not Scarface like I had guessed, even though that would have been good. :)

Next, for the song with "Keri," it links to Keri Hilson who is apparently signed to Timbaland's label and has done some writing for Danity Kane. This also makes sense because Timbaland is a producer (and featured artist) on the album.

Still, though, this tracklist should be regarded carefully and not taken as an absolute. It could be partially true (it's at least partially true) or completely true or simply a work in progress. We'll know soon enough as we are exactly 1 month away from it's release.

Yung Joc is a guest along with Lil' Wayne, Rich Boy and Lil' Mo on the remix to Jibbs' "Chain Hang Low".

CD WOW! has posted a tracklist for Press Play. Here it is:


Now, this makes sense (except for a few things, I'll talk about it in a minute). Still, it should be greeted carefully, don't make the assumption that this is final... or even true. But, for the sake of discussion, let's pretend it is true. There are some new guest artists here that we haven't heard much about. Jack Knight, Scar, Mike Lett and Keri. I'm willing to guess that Scar = Scarface. Mike Lett? Keri? I don't know who they are, sorry. Let me know if you do.

As for the things that don't fit: first, there is no "Gettin' Off." Where are Fergie, Avant and Pharoahe Monch (whom Amazon.com lists as a performer)? Avant was supposedly on the Brandy track, so maybe the feature list just isn't complete.
