It looks like Sean Kingston will be releasing his third album in time for the holiday shopping season.
“It’s gonna be pretty collab heavy man,” Kingston said of the LP, which will feature tour mate Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Akon, Nicki Minaj, and more. “I swear like, it’s basically done so make sure you look out for a major album dropping in November.”
Fall will be a busy time of year for the island-pop star, as he will also still be touring with Bieber on the second leg of the “My World” tour. The trek stops at large arenas through mid-December. Kingston shrugs off the notion that living in both the hip-hop and pop worlds simultaneously is hard.
“You just have to stay true to yourself,” he said. “I think once you stay true to yourself, everything will come in place.”

Kingston has echoed similar sentiments while on the road to Bieber, a person he considers a little brother of his.
“I’ve just been telling him, ‘Stay humble, be safe, keep God first, don’t let it get to your head,’ you know, stuff like that,” said Kingston. Although while staying humble, the singer still knows how to have a little fun on the road. Sean admitted that it was he who put Bieber in that Lamborghini that the duo was photographed driving in during the tour’s stop in Los Angeles.
In addition to the tour, and the impromptu Lambo runs, Kingston and Bieber will also be dropping a mixtape, which the “Fire Burnin’” singer says will consist of about nine or ten songs. King of All Kings will be released September 20.
Flo Rida made international headlines last year when he gave out his cell phone number to fans across the world. To this day, Flo still has the number activated, and occasionally tweets it out to his followers.
Before performing for over 1,000 people inside The Woodlands Inn and Resort, Ralphie wanted to call the phone during their interview on “The Ralphie Radio Show”, to make sure it was the real deal.
Oh yunno, just a typical week of traveling, interviewing celebs, appearing on national TV, attending weddings and Yankees games…
Not that any of the aforementioned are foreign occurrences in my life, but jamming all in to a week’s span is certainly different. Click above for the Facebook album.
David Archuleta admitted on “The Ralphie Radio Show” that he doesn’t watch MTV’s hit reality show “Jersey Shore” – matter of fact – he even needed a synopsis.
“What is it about, exactly?” Archuleta innocently asked – completely unaware of stars like “DJ Pauly D” or “The Situation.” Fear not though, as David had heard of Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi before.
“I was at ‘Good Day New York’ and everyone signs a wall and there was one that said ‘Snooki’ and I’m like, ‘Oh, who’s ‘Snoo-key’?’” he recalled. Archie later mentioned that he heard of the show before, but didn’t really know much else about the show or its cast.

The Idol-alum also said he’d be more intimated singing in front of Simon Cowell than Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, who is rumored to be a judge on the upcoming season of “American Idol.”

Thankfully for Archuelta fans, the singer knows this much: his sophomore LP, The Other Side of Down, is finished, and will be released October 5.
“I definitely had a lot more say (in the creative process of the album)… I just wanted this album to be me,” said Archuleta. “The theme of this album is ‘introducing David Archuleta’ to everyone.”
The process in opening up and speaking more about himself began with the writing of his memoir, Chords of Strength.
“At first, I was like, ‘Why the heck should I be writing a book? I’m only 19 years old,’” he said. “I can’t help but be myself. So, I wanted to do the same with my music.”
Archuleta said the new album is currently in the mastering process – and revealed that there is also a title track to the LP – one of his favorite’s on the piece, thus the name.
David Guetta used an effective formula to obtain material for his album One Love: I’ll do a track for you if you return the favor. In an interview on “The Ralphie Radio Show” Thursday, Flo Rida confirmed that Guetta isn’t straying from that mentality.
“Oh man, we got a crazy record together,” said Flo of a second collaboration with the French DJ. “It’s crazy. It’s definitely an up-tempo (song)… but it’s definitely hot. It has its own lane.”
That is about all the Florida native would reveal about the song – as he continues to drum up support of the duo’s first collaboration, the anthem “Club Can’t Handle Me”, which in addition to serving as the first single from Flo’s forthcoming The Only 1, also serves as the lead single for the “Step Up 3D” soundtrack.

Before performing for over 1,000 people inside The Woodlands, Flo Rida sat down with “The Ralphie Radio Show” to chat about his forthcoming, double disc album The Only 1. Flo also discussed projects with David Guetta and his iPhone which he constantly gives out the number to. Yes, it’s real.

“Normally you would have to probably go in and make a record for a movie, but I was already sitting on that record,” explained Flo of why he was so grateful to Disney for choosing the song. The rapper’s first hit, “Low”, was the lead track for the “Step Up 2 The Streets” soundtrack.
The emcee also clarified that unlike some of his previous records to feature a woman, the lady singing in “Club Can’t Handle Me” is simply a backup singer.
“The whole time you hear me singing, as far as Ke$ha (who sang on the hook of “Right Round”), she had more of a lead role on the record,” he clarified. Flo also featured Ke$ha on “Touch Me” and singer Wynter Gordon on “Sugar.”
The Only 1 will now be a double disc set, and is due out before the end of the year.
