Jay-Z backs Kanye and Lady Sovereign

"Rap mogul Jay-Z is standing behind Kanye West, who went off-script to declare that "George Bush doesn't care about black people" during his appearance in last Friday's NBC telethon for Hurricane Katrina victims." [Reuters]

"...A full-length Lady Sov jawn, with the tentative title of Straight Up Cheeky is expected for Spring 2006… but which lucky label will release it? Well, Universal’s got its tentacles wrapped around her worldwide, but in the U.S.A., the pint-sized princess has been in talks with Def Jam, having been flown out to New York City by the label’s president, Shawn Carter. Yes, that’s right: Jay-Z is trying to sign Lady Sovereign..." [Pitchfork]
