Bow Wow and former B2K member Omarion will be releasing a collaborative album titled Face Off on Demeber 11th.

The two artists first collaborated on Bow Wow’s 2005 album, Wanted, and have hit the road together on various “Scream” tours.

“This isn't about money, this is about music,” said Omarion in a statement.  “We both started young and have grown up together, working on the same tours, and have developed our identity in the music world.”

“Jay-Z and R Kelly were the first big R&B/Rap combo, and we have great respect for them and have been inspired by them, but we still want to create something we can call our own,” he continued.  “We just want to do our own thing.  We want to have a great time and make good music for our fans.  This is gonna be fun, so 'World, Watch out!  We're coming!'”

ICE CUFFIN’

Flooding your mouth with diamonds is not enough for Paul Wall .  The Houston rapper and comedian Jamie Kennedy have teamed up to create “Iced Out Cuff Bracelets”  in tribute to trouble prone celebrities.

“My boy Jamie Kennedy came up with the idea because a lot of celebrities kept going to jail.,” Paul Wall explained in statement.  “There are two sizes large for guys and small for the ladies.  They are made just like real handcuffs and we also sell the keys as a necklace.”

“They also have a safety release so you don't actually need the key to unlock them,” he added.

The bracelets are rhodium plated over solid brass with stones on both sides.  To view the ‘icy’ cuffs , visit grillsbypaulwall.com

The Rhythm Roots All-Stars has performed/recorded with various artists including Black Eyed Peas, Justin Timberlake and Outkast .

“Hip-Hop's roots are nourished by live music,” Rakim said in a statement. “ For artists who dug through crates searching for the perfect sample, always trying to replicate the sounds of a full band, standing on a stage, moving the crowd in front of this talent is both the nexus and the pinnacle of what we do.”
