O1LT.COM "HOT AND BLACK" NEWS RECAP KANDI/BIGGIE/BUSTA/JAY-Z

I've always liked Kandi from Xscape. Remember when she had that song "Don't think I'm Not"? It was a minor hit but hell I still think she's sexxy and worthy to be on the tips of all the fellas(and some ladies) toungues. She's got some new music out which you can check out on her MYSPACE page.

Scott Storch made it official today on "The Wendy Williams Experience" that he has produced some tracks for Jay-Z which means Jay will be coming out with another album. It's been rumored for months that he might come back, but when asked he's remained tight lipped about it. He is also producing tracks for Nas, Mya(I know), and Kanye. Remember you heard it hear first!!!!!

Shout out to Romeo who is taking care of his business at such a young age. Romeo is competing with 200 of the top high school players at ABCD, an invitation-only camp sponsored by Reebok and based in Teaneck, New Jersey. That's HUGE!! Basketball stars like Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, and Carmello Anthony have all been previous invitees. I'm told that Lil Romeo is quite good, and that he even turned down a 3 million dollar movie deal to attend the basketball camp. "Big Ups" to Romeo. FULL STORY

Busta Rhymes is finally talking about the shoot out at the "Touch It-Remix" video shoot that resulted in the death of his friend, and bodyguard, Israel Ramirez. Unfortuantely he doesn't say much that we haven't already heard. Celebrities are notorious for skaing around questions. That's why I like people like Wendy Williams.
