Cameron B Sharpe Profile

"Everybody is looking for this one joint with me and Jay, so that needs to happen," Drake said. "My goal at this point is to keep making that organic music. I don't wanna feel pressure now that I have a single and music that's hot," he added. "I don't wanna be pressured ... that, 'Oh I have to have radio hits.' I just wanna make music people enjoy."

As Drake continues to impress fans and peers, he says that one guy he looks to for advice is none other than the head of his Young Money clique, Lil Wayne.

"Wayne is another one that — rap-wise, verse-wise — was my favorite," he said. "And to be under his wing, to be able to interact with him on a daily basis and talk to him and get information from him — I'm in a blessed position. I have the greatest mentors, the greatest teachers in the world. They all have gradually started to embrace me more and more, so it's a great feeling."

"Volume" is a two-disc set, one of which features 13 of van Dyk's own songs -- including a 2009 remix of his 1994 hit "For An Angel" -- while the other sports 11 of his remixes for artists such as U2, Depeche Mode, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears. "There was so much more I would have liked to have put together on something that's called 'the best of,' " van Dyk notes. "I wish I could put, like 10 CDs together...a whole box that includes everything."

Van Dyk's other recent work includes scoring EA's new Grand Slam Tennis video game, which has piqued his interest in doing more in the gaming world. He's also hawking an iPhone application that includes tools for DJs ("So it's more than just a gadget," he notes) as well as fan-friendly "fun stuff" like a virtual glow stick that changes colors when the device is shaken.

"I love what I do," van Dyk says, "so it doesn't really feel like a job and therefore I'm constantly taking on new challenges and new projects. They obviously keep me constantly busy, but I don't complain. I like it like this."

Cameron B Sharpe News: Billboard: "Awake" is your first album since 2003. Have you been working on it this whole time?

Julian Marley: Overall it took me two years to really start and complete it. Before that I was helping out with different Marley family projects, like the Roots Rock Reggae Fest and Africa Unite, and working on Stephen's and Damian's albums. I wrote and recorded "Awake" during the months in between and had input on everything, from the riddims on down. On my first two albums, I was still growing and still unsure about music. I ran into problems where I'd even written songs in a key that wasn't right for me. This time I found my own comfort zone, and the songs are tailor-made.

Writing of the admission, Wright says: "I can still hear that conversation, see the man I'd known for so much of my life, his face pale, hand clutching at his glass in sudden rage."

Jeffrey is quoted by Wright as telling him: "I was in London the night of Jimi's death and together with some old friends.. we went 'round to Monika's hotel room, got a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth...then poured a few bottles of red wine deep into his windpipe."

The manager was allegedly worried that Hendrix was about to sack him. He had recently taken out a life insurance policy worth $2 million, with Jeffrey as beneficiary, reports Britain's Mail On Sunday.

"I had to do it. Jimi was worth much more to me dead than alive," Jeffrey is quoted as telling Wright. "That son of a b*tch was going to leave me. If I lost him, I'd lose everything."

At the time of Hendrix's death, a coroner recorded an open verdict, stating that the cause was "barbiturate intoxication and inhalation of vomit."

Paramore's third album is finished, and the group is chomping at the bit to play the new material -- even though most of it will stay on ice until the as-yet-untitled set is released this fall.

"It's hard going back to your old stuff after we've been strictly focusing on new material for the past three months," drummer Zac Farro tells Billboard.com. "You're excited about (the album) 'cause it's done and you just want to go out and play those songs. But there's a lot that has to be done to set it up, so it doesn't come out for awhile and you're just going back and playing your other two records when you just want to play all the new stuff."
