Mr. 305, Pitbull, had an interesting week. He had a big concert lined up in New York with Drake and Trey Songz to promote the new “So Kodak” campaign. And he also had a video shoot scheduled with T-Pain for Pit’s song “Hey Baby.” But all of that suddenly came crashing down on Monday when Pitbull fractured his hand at his Miami home. By doctor’s orders, he’s now on medical rest and standby for the next week as he heals. The video shoot has been postponed for sometime later in October and the New York Kodak concert had to go on without him this past Tuesday. [MTV News]
With basketball season pretty much in full effect, everyone, local rapper Ghostwridah included, is excited about the (hopefully) unstoppable Miami Heat roster. This week, Ghost released a new song titled “Final Thought.” The track was supposed to be featured on the soundtrack for NBA 2K11, but missed the deadline.
In regards to the song, Ghostwridah had this to say: “Being from Miami, I felt it was only right after Miami’s win over the Pistons [earlier this week], I had to release this unofficial, yet so official, Miami Heat anthem called ‘Final Thought.'” Take a listen to the track right here. [OnSmash]

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
