If you remember back in March, Mac Miller and DJ Jazzy Jeff’ was toying around with the idea of 92 Til Infinity? Welp, we got news that it’ll be out in 2013! For those not familiar with the concept, he’ll be rhyming over beats produced by some of the ’90s best producers as well as his personal favorites. Check out the video after the jump as Mac runs everything down.
One of Hip-Hop’s most notable moguls and pioneers, Lyor Cohen has decided to resign as Chief Executive of Recorded Music Division with Warner Music Group (WMG). If you are not too familiar, within his tenure as an executive Mr. Cohen has stood as a leader in the music industry as being responsible for the growth of Def Jam Records (serving as President), Roc-a-Fella Records, The Inc. (formely Murder, Inc.) and a host of others in the early 1980′s/1990′s. He was also instrumental in the development of some of the biggest artists in hip hop history such as the Beastie Boys, Nas, LL Cool J, Kurtis Blow, Jay-Z, and hip-hop’s godfathers Run DMC.

At some point we’re going to hear more songs from Will and Jada’s now superstar daughter, Willow Smith. A good portion of those songs are going to end up being constructed by Skillz and a familiar name to the Smith family in DJ Jazzy Jeff. The rapper – and famed ghostwriter – revealed in a BET interview that he and Jeff would both be working on her Roc Nation debut.
“Me and Jazzy Jeff are collaborating on an album this year. I’m still hosting parties, working on songs. We’re working on some stuff for Willow Smith’s album… I mean, you know, I worked with her dad [Will Smith] on a few projects before so you know I have a relationship with him. It was just a natural progression like they’re doing music so, you know, that door’s always open. I’d be crazy not to try to walk through it, so we’re working on some stuff. Her Roc Nation debut will be out probably next year.”
Look for Willow to possibly remake her father and Jeff’s 1988 classice “Parents Just Don’t Understand” to be released sometime this year.
