of Knoc's character. Here is the song "I
Like", in the version played

| Scott Storch
Talks About Detox
MTV has an interesting article
on Scott Storch and Dre's upcoming "Detox"
album. The Co-Producer called "Detox"
the most advanced rap album ever, and said
it probably won't hit the street until the
end of 2004.
Dre has been working on the LP over the
past year, and he and Storch have built
dozens of beds of beats, various innovative
rhythms and the skeletons for numerous songs,
all of which are being fleshed out. No tracks
have been titled yet and no final cuts chosen.
Like
Dre's last album, The Detox will feature
numerous guest stars. Storch said Eminem,
50 Cent, Snoop Dogg and Knoc-Turn'al would
record parts as well as newer names like
Lloyd Banks, Guvner and Game.
Full
article can be found here.

Produced by Dj Quik!
We can lace you with an exclusive
snippet by Roscoe from his upcoming album. The
song is called "Aint Nuthin Wrong" and
was produced by none other than Dj Quik (which
Scoe mentioned in our exclusive
interview a while ago). No word if this
will be a single but its definitely single material
and a radio friendly song. Cant go wrong with
Roscoe spittin over a mellow Quik beat and a beautiful
hook. Definitely something for all Roscoe and
Dj Quik fans combined. Here is "Aint
Nuthin Wrong"...
