FABOLOUS POSTS BAIL, FACING INVESTIGATION

New York City officials charged FABOLOUS and three of the rapper's friends with five counts of criminal possession of a weapon yesterday. (Police discovered two guns in the rapper's 2005 Dodge Magnum after pulling it over early Tuesday morning for allegedly running a red light. Fabolous and his entourage were fleeing the scene of a shooting in a nearby parking garage, where the rapper sustained an injury.) Fabolous was released on $15,000 bail yesterday, but police have launched an investigation into a possible connection between the shooting and a robbery targeting BOSTON CELTICS guard SEBASTIAN TELFAIR the same night. So far, Telfair hasn't been able to ID the person who snagged his $50,000 necklace.

PHIL COLLINS CONFIRMS GENESIS REUNION

COLDPLAY BUY MASSIVE RECORDING/REHEARSAL SPACE

Despite COLDPLAY's extended hiatus plans, the British band has reportedly bought space in a London building that currently houses recording studios and offices.

"In all these years working together we haven't had a HQ, our own studio or anything like that. We want somewhere that we can hole up and see what happens.

Exclusively available from Mute Bank
Depeche Mode return to the fore with the stunning single ‘Martyr’ – their first new material since the international Number 1 album ‘Playing The Angel’.

Taken from the eagerly awaited Best Of collection, it’s a powerful, hypnotic track written by Martin Gore and deftly confirms the band’s iconic status. Produced by Ben Hillier, of Doves and Blur fame, the new single is unrelenting, absolute Depeche Mode and sits immaculately amongst their luminous history.

Surging with incandescent synths, a razor-sharp hook and Dave Gahan’s emotive claims of being “a martyr for love”, it is both irresistible and irrepressible.

LABEL: OM HIP HOP

Strange Fruit Project was recently listed on the top 10 most downloaded on iTunes. [Listen to mp3 clips: "You a Grown Man Now," Colossus feat. Hylton Smythe "The Healing" sampler, Strange Fruit Project "Heroes in the City of Dope" sampler, Zion I & The Grouch]

Recently, however, the label has branched out into urban music, forming a subsidiary, Om Hip-Hop, that has not only bucked the trend toward mindless, mainstream-oriented rap, but also revitalized the notion of the album in a genre typically distinguished by singles.

Most interestingly, Om has done it with some truly left-field thinking, using the label's reputation to establish little-known but supremely talented artists who have quickly become major players in the alternative hip-hop field, due to their high degree of musicality and originality. Following the 2005 release of Colossus' "West Oaktown," an album that reintroduced a jazz sensibility to hip-hop, Om recently released Strange Fruit Project's "The Healing."

The album has already garnered some of the strongest reviews in the label's history and lodged in the top 10 on the iTunes charts -- a significant accomplishment for any label, let alone an indie mainly known for four-on-the-floor anthems and ambient chill-out jams.

Although Om is mainly seen as an electronic music tastemaker, hip-hop has always been a part of the label's vision, according to Marketing Vice President Gunnar Hissim, 31, and Om Hip-Hop A&R Jonathan McDonald, 25.

Teenage pop sensation JoJo returns with THE HIGH ROAD, her second album. As adulthood beckons, JoJo stands strong and comes through with a release that shows her pop smarts aren't limited to appealing to the "tween" set. She's got a knack for hooks, a knockout voice and beats from Scott Storch and Timbaland. What more do you want? A sample of Toto's 1982 hit "Africa"? Well, she's got that too.
