With T.I., Nas and Wiz Khalifa, Rozay tells ‘RapFix Live’ new album features ‘the best of the best, from the new guys to the veterans.’ By Rob Markman, with reporting by Sway Calloway Wale, Meek Mill and Rick Ross on “RapFix Live” Photo: Rick Ross has been raising the bar for himself with each project since his 2006 debut, Port of Miami . Rozay’s most-recent solo album, 2010’s Teflon Don , is arguably his best, and for his Maybach Music Group, the Bawse encourages the same growth. On Tuesday, Ross and his MMG crew dropped Self Made, Vol. 2 , 13 months after they released the first volume. If Rozay had to pick a favorite, he said he’d pick the latest — after all, it is all about progression. “Of course, the difference first and foremost is the sound, the music. When we released Self Made, Vol. 1 , we had just really closed our deal. We pretty much did it in two weeks, just sitting around in the studio, just having fun, and we recorded it,” Ross shared on Wednesday’s (June 27) “RapFix Live.” When MMG released the first Self Made in May 2011, Ross had only secured his label deal with Warner Music Group three months prior, but he, Wale and Meek Mill put it together quickly. This time out, the Bawse expanded his roster, giving Stalley more shine and adding French Montana and former B2K frontman Omarion to the fold. “This project here, everybody was pretty much in a different position. It’s been a big difference status-wise from the first year [’til] now,” Ross explained. “Everybody was basically on tour when we first started this process. We stayed in communication a little more, and I think the music itself it sounds straight up organic, like it was meant to be, from the choruses, the concepts, the titles to the sequencing.” Rozay doesn’t discount Self Made, Vol. 1 , however; he likens it to a seed. Aside from the expanded roster, Ross decided to add a ton of features to the new album as well. T.I., Nas, Bun B, T-Pain, Wiz Khalifa and Kendrick Lamar all appear. “I feel like it’s the best of the best, from the new guys to the veterans,” Ross said.

Lupe Fiasco tweets that he’s not on this year’s bill, despite an announcement to the contrary. By Felicia Morris Wiz Khalifa Photo: Dana Nalbandian/ Getty Images Hip-hop’s premier music festival is back. On Tuesday, Guerilla Union held a press conference to reveal its lineup of hip-hop all-stars for Rock the Bells 2012. Freestyler extraordinaire Supernatural delivered the list of performers one-by-one with an impromptu rap, rattling off names like Wiz Khalifa , Kid Cudi, Nas , J. Cole and Mac Miller, as well as veteran acts like Missy Elliott, Timbaland and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Lupe Fiasco’s name also appears on the festival’s flyer, but on Wednesday morning (May 16), the Chi-Town lyricist tweeted that despite what was printed, he would not be in attendance this year. “Not doing Rock The Bellz…thats a typo fam and friends…,” he wrote . For the first time in nine years, Rock the Bells will expand its daylong festival to two days. The first show will take place August 18 at the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, California. Last year’s three-stage setup forced fans to choose between their favorite acts, who would often perform simultaneously. “We had quite a few complaints about Mobb Deep fans having to choose between Mobb Deep and Nas,” Guerilla Union boss Chang Weisberg said as an example. “We tried to deliver three stages, but it didn’t work out. So the correction? Two stages, two days, one event.” RTB will hit the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California, on August 25 and 26 and then the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey, on September 1 and 2. Coincidentally, the East Coast show falls on the very same weekend as Jay-Z’s recently announced Made in America multi-genre music festival in Philadelphia. Hov promises close to 30 eclectic acts in the fields of rock, hip-hop, R&B, Latin and dance music. The Made in America lineup hasn’t been announced yet, but already, the RTB bill is ripe with diverse rap talent. 2 Chainz, Tyga, Kendrick Lamar, Slick Rick, E-40, Too Short and A$AP Rocky will all be in attendance. The announcement event wrapped up with performances by DJ Quik and Bone Thugs, who took the stage and rocked a few of their many classics, leaving fans ready for the main course this summer. Fans should check RockTheBells.net for venue and ticket information. Related Videos Back To The ‘Burgh With Mac Miller And Wiz Khalifa Related Artists Nas Wiz Khalifa

North American jaunt kicks off in June and wraps up at the beginning of September. By Jocelyn Vena Demi Lovato Photo: Timothy Hiatt/Getty Images Demi Lovato is ready to give your heart a break on her just-announced summer tour. The Unbroken singer will take her act on the road beginning in June. The trek will kick off on June 12 in California, before circling around the country for 21 dates with stops in Phoenix, Las Vegas, Boston and one stop in Toronto, Canada. The tour will run through the summer, wrapping up on September 1 in Salem, Oregon. Lovato hit the road last fall to promote the album. That smaller Stateside tour was featured in her MTV documentary, “Stay Strong.” She also recently completed a tour in South America. This time around, Lovato is expected to bring Hot Chelle Rae and Owl City with her. Unbroken just went platinum, celebrating sales of more than one million since its September release. She recently dropped the album’s second single, “Give Your Heart a Break,” as well as the music video earlier this month. While Lovato has been open about her personal struggles, she didn’t want this album to be exclusively about them. “I didn’t want to come out with this depressing album. I think it’s important that I kept a lot of my heart open on the album because I talked about my personal issues,” she told MTV News. “But I also had some fun dance songs on there for people to enjoy.” Demi’s summer tour dates, according to her label:
The Pittsburgh pair refuse to look at each other in their first joint interview. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Sway Calloway Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller on “RapFix Live” Photo: Natasha Chandel/ MTV News Call them hip-hop’s odd couple. Though they both hail from Pittsburgh and are signed to local indie label Rostrum Records, Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller absolutely hate each other — well, not really. On Wednesday’s “RapFix Live,” the ‘Burgh’s finest appeared together for their first joint interview. Rather than play things straight, the pair decided to have a little fun on set. “Why is he here?” Wiz asked, throwing his hands in the air after host Sway Calloway brought Mac onto the “RapFix Live” set. “I’m getting hated on on this couch man; can I get my own couch?” Mac responded. Sway tried to play peacemaker, but Wiz and Mac weren’t having it. The two were cordial enough to sit down on the red couch together, but refused to face each other. “I haven’t seen you in a while man, you looking good,” Khalifa said, looking away from Miller trying to break the playful tension. “Thanks, wish I can say the same for you, man,” Mac responded, trying his best to hold in his laughter. A beef between Pittsburgh’s two biggest rap stars would be quite problematic, considering that the duo are planning to hit the road together this summer on the Under the Influence of Music tour . Khalifa and Miller will be joined by Taylor Gang’s Chevy Woods as well as TDE’s Kendrick Lamar and Schoolboy Q on the nine-show run. Though they remain good friends, Wiz and Mac have built their own careers separate from each other. There are only a few low-key collaborations between the pair, but they plan to record together again soon. “Me and Mac are gonna collaborate together because that’s what I want to do, it doesn’t matter what he wants to do. What I say goes,” Wiz said in character. “We’re gonna do a song, because we’ve had a plan this whole time,” Mac revealed. “Actually I need Mac. I’m trying to use his success to boost my album because it’s about to come out,” Khalifa joked. Will you be attending Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller’s Under the Influence of Music tour?

The 20-year-old Pittsburgh MC is currently on tour for his Macadelic mixtape. By Rob Markman Mac Miller Photo: MTV News Mac is back, so you can expect a Most Dope “RapFix Live” when Mac Miller returns to the red couch on Wednesday. It’s been a hell of a ride for the 20-year-old spitter, and he doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon. After landing the #1 album in the country last November with his debut LP Blue Slide Park, Mac has been moving at an accelerated pace. He concluded his 80-date, sold-out BSP tour in December and immediately hit the lab to cook up his Macadelic mixtape , which he dropped as a free Internet download in March. “It’s like the story of someone who is growing up, trying to figure out who he is and trying to figure out what he’s supposed to do in the world and how he’s gonna change it,” Mac told Mixtape Daily of Macadelic. “I think it’s a great piece because it’s a great part of my career, it’s a great time right now and I feel like I been making mixtapes for five years, so this one is very special to me.” The tape features contributions from Cam’ron, Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne on the soul-bearing “The Question.” “This song is a real meaningful song to me, man, and I wanted to make sure I got Wayne on something that was heartfelt,” he said of “The Question.” “I got him on a record that I was saying something and not just talkin’ sh–, so this record right here really kinda deals with a question that I’ve been goin’ through in my own head.” Mac is currently out on tour in support of Macadelic, but that didn’t stop him from announcing his next run: the with Wiz Khalifa, Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q and Chevy Woods. “It means everything, Mac’s my little homey. It’s good for his fans; it’s good for everybody who’ve been wanting to see us do what we do together,” Wiz told MTV News of the joint summer tour last week while on the set for Maroon 5’s “Payphones” video in L.A.
