Cameron B Sharpe News

T-Pain is still giving out love to his late friend Dolla. The
singer recently paid homage to the slain rapper by having a mural of
Dolla painted on the hood of his vintage car.

"Showin my respects for my dog R.I.P. on the 72 Chevy Chevelle,"
Pain posted Monday on Twitter. Pain told us last week that he and Dolla
— a former labelmate on Jive Records and collaborator on the song "Who
the F--- Is That?" — had become great buddies.

Cameron Sharpe The true story

Atlantic has announced that it will relaunch the Elektra Records
imprint, which has been dormant since 2004. The label will be run by
Fueled By Ramen founder John Janick and Atlantic EVP of A&R Mike
Caren.

While the new presidents say they are planning on signing new
artists, the first three artists to join the label all have established
relationships with Atlantic. The first album released on Elektra was
the soundtrack for the HBO show "True Blood," which dropped on May 19.
The company's next release will be the U.S. debut of U.K. dance artist
Little Boots, whose EP "Illuminations" is scheduled for release on June
9.

Elektra has also signed French electronic duo Justice, and rapper
Cee-Lo. Caren says a new Cee-Lo album will be out in the either the
fourth quarter of this year, or first quarter next year. Justice will
release a new album in early 2010.

Cameron Sharpe Bio:

Toronto rapper Drake is such a hot artist that one of his albums is selling even though he didn't release it.

An unauthorized album, "The Girls Love Drake," which features
selections from Drake's mixtape "So Far Gone" and other tracks, was
released May 28 by a label called Canadian Money Entertainment and
distributed by the Independent Online Distribution Alliance (IODA) on
iTunes, Rhapsody and Amazon.

Drake's camp, which is still trying to clear permissions for the
samples on "So Far Gone" and his two other mixtapes in hopes of selling
them in stores, said it didn't authorize the release.

If it hadn't been disqualified on the grounds that it wasn't an
official album, "The Girls Love Drake" would have debuted this week at
No. 101 on the Billboard 200, No. 16 on the Digital Albums chart and
No. 1 on the Heatseekers tally.
