She’s teamed up with acts like Diplo, Mr. Vegas and Akon on this project.  Give it a gander and let us know what you think.

& THIS IS WHY WE HAVE T-PAIN & AKON

Los Angeles (E! Online) -  West Coast rapper Nate Dogg was hospitalized nearly two weeks ago after suffering a stroke, his second in less than a year. And we’re now learning that his condition was much graver than previously reported.

But contrary to Internet news stories that offered an upbeat prognosis, a family member tells E! News that as of Wednesday the 39-year-old hip-hopster was on life support in a Los Angeles-area hospital with a feeding tube in his mouth.

“He has suffered another stroke from his bad eating habits and unhealthy lifestyle,” says Donald Smith, Dogg’s cousin and a fellow emcee who goes by the moniker Lil’ Half Dead. “All we can do now is pray for him.”

New Busta Coming Soon, Before Hell Freezes Over

Before Hell Freezes Over is the eighth studio album from rapper Busta Rhymes. Although it is neither confirmed nor denied, in light of recent concert cancellations, it is probable that the album will be released in late 2007. The album features production from Timbaland, Dr. Dre, Focus, Pharrell, Swizz Beatz, and J Dilla, among others. And also may feature appearances from 50 Cent, DMX, The Game, Spliff Star & Papoose. It has been said that Ja rule might be on the album as guest and they have song called “What this is called”.

Busta said on MTV News that he’ll be working with longtime collaborators as well as some people he’s never had the chance to work with before. “You’re gonna get your traditional Busta Rhymes-and-Pharrell collabo,” he said. “My man Focus from the Aftermath crew; Dr. Dre; the late, great J Dilla got work on the album. It’s gonna be great — look forward to the new bang-out.”

There are also rumors that Timbaland or one of his productions will appear on the album, after a video surfaced on YouTube.

During an interview with FLOW 93.5 in Toronto, Kardinal Offishall stated that he will appear on a track which will also feature Akon.

Should be another classic banger from bussa bus. U R NOT red E.

Confirmed Tracks

* “I’m Just Getting Warm”
