Joey Crack shows a little footage while working on his album The Darkside. Joe goes behind the scenes with MIA’s Cool & Dre and even previews his track with VA duo, Clipse, and he also calls them up.

Tony Yayo chopped it up with BET and discussed going independent with his next album:

Currently still signed with G-Unit, Yayo is without a distributor and considering the independent route. But apparently Yayo has no interest in joining one of the biggest independent outlets in hip-hop.

“Would I consider signing with Koch? No,” he told BET.com. ”Because I know 50 would structure a better deal than Koch would give me. So I would just stay over here, you know, G-Unit’s a good label. I mean, we got our own people that work for us, so I feel like even on the “T.O.S.” [Terminate on Site] album, I felt like we was independent on that album, like interscope didn’t give us the push that we need like iTunes and other places.”

After launching the premiere issue with Jigga & Pac, RESPECT. magazine’s issue # 2 cover features 50 Cent. The mag gets the scoop behind Hip-Hop’s great images and photo shoots by getting the photog’s to deliver the commentary behind the shot. The issue hits newsstads March 9.

Kanye West drops a new video for “Coldest Winter” off 808′s & Heartbeak a year-and-a-half after the LP’s release. This version has a new mix than the one on the album. The video was directed by Nabil Elderkin who has worked with Yeezy of the videos for “Paranoid” &  “Welcome To Heartbreak” both off 808′s.

Kanye does not appear in the video at all and Elderkin also shared that this was the first time Kanye was not involved in the editing process and was only presented a final version for approval. The video takes on a dark tone:

“This is definitely more of a haunting one. ‘Cause this is sort of a remix… This one he got into his production a little bit more.”
