Chris Brown invited MTV in for a listening session of his upcoming album — titled X — and gave few details on the project. What has been revealed is that he will be returning to rapping on the album, which will also feature fellow emcee Kendrick Lamar on a track called ‘Autumn Leaves’. Also on the album are producers Danja, who is behind the boards for ‘Add Me In’, and Diplo, who handles soundbed duties for the title track.

You can read the full write-up here, but below is an excerpt where he speaks on his continued return to rap:

“It’s funny, because I tried to get my record deal as an MC first, and when they heard me sing on the choruses, they wanted me to sing,” he said. “You don’t want to say something another rapper has said or come off like you’re trying to produce a punch line. It’s about being a lyricist and being clever about what you say. I don’t try to spit the hardest sixteen’s, it’s just me being clever with my poetic side, that’s where it derives from.”

No comment (at least not until we find out if all this is really true), except for the update that Gucci still has yet to turn himself in over the news of the first victim. From WSB TV:

Atlanta police tell Channel 2’s Amy Napier Viteri they still haven’t heard from Gucci Mane, whose real name is Radric Davis, about when he will come to Atlanta and turn himself in.

After Viteri’s story aired about Davis attacking a soldier in a downtown club, another man reached out to Viteri saying Davis assaulted him just two nights later in Philadelphia.

“I haven’t ever been so humiliated in my life and disrespected,” the victim, who asked only to be called TJ, told Viteri Monday night.

TJ said Davis punched him in the jaw in the early hours of March 18 in Philadelphia two days after Atlanta police said Davis hit a soldier over the head with a champagne bottle at Harlem Nights club on Courtland Street in Atlanta.

“He punched me on the left side of my face, right here in the jaw, knocking off my glasses,” TJ told Viteri.

TJ said he was at Club Onyx in Philadelphia to see Gucci Mane perform. Afterward, he said he tried to shake hands and say hello and the rapper responded with a punch to the face.

TJ showed Viteri tweets from witnesses. One person wrote “Why did Gucci Mane punch the dude in the face?”

“I sustained a chipped tooth in the back. I sustained also swelling on the left side,” TJ told Viteri.
