Na verejnosť sa dostalo nové info o údajne poslednom albume The Game-a "LAX". Podľa jeho DJ-a Nu Jerzey Devil je album už na 80% ukončený a objavia sa na ňom "obvyklý" podozrivý Scott Storch a Cool & Dre. Najväčší otazník však ostáva nad účasťou Dr. Dreho, ktorý sa nezúčastnil na produkcii "po ňom" pomenovanom albume "Doctor's Advocate". "[Dr. Dre] dropped some stuff off, but I'm not sure if Game did anything to them yet." Nehľadiac na to, však Game ešte stále uvažuje o odchode z hip-hopového sveta po vydaní albumu. "He's fed up with all the BS. Unless something tremendous happens with this album, he'll probably fall back and play the executive role. But this album is sounding better than his first two. He's at his peak. I'mma do everything in my power to keep him going. I think everything will be good." Pred vydaním albumu by sme sa mali ešte dočkať mixtapu "Am I My Brother Keeper".

Je to už pár rokov od posledného albumu Dilated Peoples "20/20", preto sa mnoho ľudi pýta, ako to s nimi vlastne vyzerá. Trojka z Californie totiž po tomto albume opustila Capitol Records a tak sa začali objavovať správy o ich rozpade. Evidence však všetky tieto špekulácie odmieta. "We have been getting a lot if inquires from labels about what our next move is being that we are free agents as of last year. We decided to go back to the lab and create the majority of the LP before we even return any phone calls. We own our studio and between Alchemist, Babu and myself, (we) are completely capable of making the independent we have been dreaming to make for a few years now. Of course that doesn't mean that Sid Roams or DJ Premier haven't already been invited to be a part of the 5th studio album from Dilated." Tento album ešte zatiaľ nemá titul, nakoľko dve tretiny skupiny su zaneprázdnené prácou na svojich sólo albumoch. "Rakaa-Iriscience is working on his solo LP, Crown Of Thorns slated for 08 release as well as Babu completing, Duck Season 3 coming out soon on Nature Sounds. Hopefully the new Dilated will follow all 3 of our solo albums and you will really know us on an individual basis through these (solo) LPs", hovorí Evidence, ktorý minulý rok sám prekvapil svojou sólo peckou "The Weatherman LP".

Na undergroundovej scéne sa za pár posledných rokov objavilo len málo nových talentov, ktorí zažiarili tak silno ako člen klubu "Unsigned Hype" Termanology. Svojou neuveriteľnou produktivitou, ktorú podškrtáva udržiavajúcou kvalita si získal mnoho fanúšikov, ktorí konečne čakajú na jeho oficiálny debut. Po oznamení producentského zoznamu určite budú ešte nedočkavejší. Zostava DJ Premier, Nottz, Large Professor, Showbiz, The Alchemist, Pete Rock a Buckwild ma totiž v obmieňajúcej sa zostave na svedomí klasiky ako Nasov "Illmatic", The Gameov "Documentary" alebo "Big Picture" od Big L. "It's looking classic with the producer lineup, I wanted it to be like if as far as the beats are hot then all the pressure falls on me, so as long as I rip it then there it is, I like the pressure so it has to live up to the music that the producers done prior," povedal sám Term.
