In a recent interview with Angie Martinez, crooner Frank Ocean opened up about collaborating with Kanye West and Jay Z on their "Watch The Throne".

Watch The Throne' He says once the two talked, it was fine. The singer, who is also a member of California rap act Odd Future, says he has a solo album due, but wouldn't confirm a release date.

Reggae star Mavado, who was recently signed to DJ Khaled's We The Best In Music imprint, says a collaboration with Drake in the near future can be expected.

The fall television season has begun, and old favorites will return along with new shows.
