On 12/10/09 Brian did an interview w/GODFELLOW AKA LIL DIDDY OF SCMRADIO.COM check it out.
Whatever label Diddy does business with, Day26 say they will always share a personal and professional bond with the man who made them famous.
“It really doesn’t affect us,” Willie Taylor said of Diddy’s trek from Atlantic Records to Interscope. “Diddy left to go to Interscope. Big up to Diddy-Dirty Money. Day26 is still Atlantic. We still have the blessings of Diddy. Anything we need from him, he’s like a big brother to us. The support is still there.
Day26 are in the midst of leaving Bad Boy Records, according to their spokesperson, but the guys say Diddy will most likely still be involved in their next album.
“He’s not gone,” Qwanell “Que” Mosley insisted. “He’s there if he wants it. He’s Diddy; we trust [his input]. He trusts us now to move on with our careers. It’s kind of like a blessing.”
The guys plan to handle the production side on many of their new songs.
“We gave you a sample on Forever in a Day,” Willie said of the group’s production skills. “If you read the credits, a lot of that is Day26. But we really wanna get in and zone out again, get the formula. We wanna go back to the Pentagons — they were amazing. Jazze Pha is amazing. [Bryan-Michael] Cox is amazing. We’re reaching out. Sean Garrett — the Pen. T-Pain. We’re gonna reach out. We’re gonna spread the wings, but I think the bulk of the album is gonna come from Day26.”
“Some artists we wanna work with are Jay-Z, Lil Wayne,” Que added. “Eminem is doing his thing. Kanye, Diddy-Dirty Money. We wanna get everybody. Anybody who has any skills, we wanna work with them.”

Ok so I am sure everyone heard that Diddy has signed with Interscope and basically left the label and all the acts (including Day 26) on Bad Boy. So what’s gonna happen to Day 26 and most of all how are the boys taking it? Well here is some of what the guys had to say about it:
Willie Taylor, one-fifth of Day26, spoke to Rap-Up.com in an exclusive interview.
“The business of it is still getting taken care of as we speak,” he revealed. “We’re just trying to figure it out. Once the paperwork is done, then we’ll know.”
Rup: One thing’s for certain, the R&B quintet will remain at Atlantic Records.
“It might be Bad Boy/Atlantic, it might just be Atlantic. Right now, it’s up in the air, We know we not gonna be Bad Boy/Interscope though. That’s not even part of the situation.”Rup: Diddy called the “Making the Band” stars to personally deliver the news.
“He called us and let us know everything that was going on, the move he was making. And it’s a good move for him.” (more…)
The guys sat down w/Urban Spin online while they were in Los Angeles preparing for the night’s first show kick off for the 106 Park Live tour. I have posted the video interview but be on the lookout because Urban Spin says more interviews and footage will be coming in the next couple of days.
