Swizz Beats stops by the DD172 complex to see his old buddy Dame Dash and talk about art, owning it as well as Swizzy’s own art. Just thumbing through his Twitpic account, he does seem to have some crazy Keith Harings, Basquiats and he mentioned something about Warhols in the interview. No shots, but all I could think of while he was trying to sound sophisticated about art was that Ruff Ryders bandana that was wrapped around his face in that nostalgia pic he threw up last week while he was working on “Stranded” with Jay. Speaking of which, Russell Simmons wants you to know that Swizz Beats is Haiti’s Unsung Hero.
Rick Ross talks with Haylow about the Pride in his Success, Collaboration with Diamond Supply Co., West Coast Gansta Rap, and What it Takes to Make Moves, His New Album, and more.

We broke this story earlier today, but someone in the comments pointed out that Phonte spoke about it on the last 20 minutes of Episode 16 of his Gordon Gartrell Radio podcast from a few days ago:

A N2ition & FSD Production, produced by Maja 7th. Andrew explains:
I know I’ve been talking about this record for a while, and now we’re finally ready to unleash the visual to the world. This is the first official release from the Maja 7th & FSD release, The Breakout, which is due out in February.
Shot and edited by Brandon “N2ition” Riley, we filmed this video in Chicago and Gary, IN, to highlight the vivid imagery within these two cities, which are only a hop, skip and a jump away from eachother. This clip really brought these two cities to life.
