Lil
Mama's New Album Has A Release Date
(March 24th)
 Having
scored a second big hit without the benefit
of an album, teenage rapper Lil Mama's
debut finally has a release date. "VYP
-- Voice of the Young People" will
arrive April 29 via Jive. The set has
already spawned the No. 10 Hot 100 hit
"Lip Gloss" and this week, second
single "Shawty Get Loose" featuring
Chris Brown and T-Pain exploded 92-19,
the biggest gain on the tally this year.
"Shawty" is benefiting from
further exposure in commercials for the
MTV show "Randy Jackson Presents
America's Best Dance Crew," on which
Lil Mama is a judge.
And although the track list for "VYP"
is still coming together, it is expected
to include songs produced by Swizz Beatz,
the Runners, Nate "Danja" Hills,
Scott Storch, Cool & Dre and Dr. Luke,
among others.
"VYP" will also be available
in a deluxe edition with bonus tracks
and a DVD, with details to be announced.

They
can lock him down and try to knock him down
too, but they can’t quite stop the wrath
of Prodigy. With his blog being the topic
of discussions on the daily, P isn’t letting
anyone forget about him anytime soon. And
that was the theme at his album release
press party at Smash Studios in Manhattan
last week
