There's a promo white vinyl floatin' around by Bubba
Sparxxx "Disappear." Make sure you bang this on your
show, mixtapes & most def in the clubs. This cut is on
fiya! I just peeped out some new & exclusive new joints
from Bubba's upcoming new album. This cat is taking his
steez on a whole new level on the country music meets
hip-hop tip! For real & you know what? This new sound
works! The official new single "Jimmy Mathis" (Beat
Club/Interscope) ships this week. I've locked down
Interscope with our panel's info, so expect to get
service & you will hear what I'm talkin' about with
Bubba's new sound! PHAT!!! Expect Bubba to hit your part
of town in a few weeks as he hits the road on his long

newcomer, Kiley Dean with her debut "Make Me A
Song." This girl can blow! It's Aaliyah meets
