There was a slight twitter controversy with these two artists after Frank Ocean was offended with Chris Brown comparing him to singer/songwriter James Fauntleroy. Frank Ocean may have thought it was a diss, but he may have been unaware that James Fauntleroy wrote many of Chris Brown’s hits. It’s evident that things have been cleared up & it’s all love now as they have this new track together.

Floyd Mayweather Speaks On The Conan O’Brien Show (Video)
September 13, 2011
Money Mayweather shows up on Conan O’Brien Show to talk about his upcoming fight with Victor Ortiz this Saturday night. Conan also asks him the question that everyone has been asking about Manny Pacquiao. Despite some naysayers, I don’t believe Mayweather is running from Pacquiao. All Manny has to do is agree to the random drug testing…simple as that.

Myk Dyaleks – ‘Read Owt Loud’ (Mixtape)
September 12, 2011
This is the last chapter of the “Primary Collo(urs)” Mixtape saga I’ve been spreading to you good people for the last 2 years…I’m proud to say that I loved every minute and am very thankful to everyone who has stopped to listen and download the first two chapters. I know there are many artists putting out mixtapes of their original songs and beats, but I feel like these songs spoke to me in a way that I felt a need to convey to others. I wanted the viewer to be able to see another side of the coin with many of the tracks I pick out and I feel I have accomplished that throughout the series. I’ve also used it as an opportunity to show off the many different way I can deliver music to those who want to hear it. This will be my last tape, from here on out nothing but new music…hope you enjoy!
