Mario Reveals New Album Cover!

Mario has radio on fire with his "Break Up" single featuring Gucci Mane and Sean Garrett. Now Mario's new album, "D.N.A." will be released on September 29 after numerous pushbacks. A lot of songs from Mario has leaked online in recent weeks. I haven't heard a lot of them but I'm guessing a lot of these songs will be featured on the new album. Unfortunately for Mario, he faced a similar fate with his last album, "Go", and didn't get a chance to experience the success he could of had, had the whole album and its song leaked out nearly a year before the album was finally released.



Music Biz:
LeToya Unhappy With Management, Label!

Singer/actress LeToya has reportedly switched her management to MBK management with Jeff Robinson, who is the long time manager of R&B superstar Alicia Keys.

The singer actually inked the deal a few weeks before her sophomore album "Lady Love" dropped, but the news has only been made official now after LeToya suddenly appeared on MBK's official website with a glowing biography and ads for her album.

The news comes after LeToya expressed her disappointment with the lack of promotion she's received from label Capitol during a live Ustream chat on August 24th, the eve of her album release.

It was also rumoured that LeToya was unhappy with her first single "Not Anymore", which was released upon insistence her original manager Terry Ross.

Her sophomore album "Lady Love" is expected to debut at about #5 on the Billboard charts, with an estimated 25-30k .

I'm surprised to hear LeToya was unhappy with "Not Anymore". I mean it wasn't my favorite song from her and it took awhile to catch on for me but the song was a hit for her. As far as the other leaked material I heard, I wasn't a fan of and I just wasn't really that interested in LeToya this time around.
