Black Eyed Peas member Apl.de.Ap announced a new record label he is launching in Los Angeles, Jeepney Music, calling on musicians in the area to drop off their demo tapes.

Grammy-winning Apl.de.Ap will throw a launch party for Jeepney at the ecologically conscious ECCO nightclub in Hollywood on August 11. Apl.de.Ap and Peas members Fergie, Taboo and Will.i.am are expected to join the celebration.

“The Los Angeles-based record label is founded on the principle of giving back, to both Apl.de.Ap’s homeland of the Philippines and the global community,” Apl.de.Ap’s representatives stated.

“Jeepney Music will feature not only emerging recording artists but will also highlight the growing number of disc jockeys and collaborative artists as he continues to build his label on the forefront of the digital transformation of music.

“In an unprecedented act, Jeepney Music is calling all artists in the Los Angeles area to drop off their music demos at the event from 10pm to 12am.”

‘The E.N.D.’ Marks The Group’s First #1 Album & Their Highest Sales Week Ever!

Black Eyed Peas’ “The E.N.D.” bows at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, selling 304,000 — the hip-pop act’s best sales week ever. It’s also the first No. 1 album for the group, which had previously gone as high as No. 2. Its last set, 2005’s “Monkey Business,” bowed in the runner-up slot with a then-best 291,000. It had the unfortunate luck to come out the same week as Coldplay’s “X&Y,” which kept the Peas’ at bay when it started at No. 1 with 737,000. -via Billboard.com

Black Eyed Peas – Boom Boom Pow (Official Video)

Rapper Kanye West was scheduled to perform at tonight?s Victoria’s Secret fashion show but had to cancel a number of appearances due to the tragic loss of his mother Dr. Donda West. Black Eyed Peas singer Will.i.am will step up and fill in for Kanye for the big show. Keep the faith Kanye, I lost my mother a couple months ago in a similar situation and its not easy but be strong and I know you can be. Just remember God always and morals and values your mother taught you. And that?s very nice of all those who try and fill up for the professional commitments of people who cannot under such circumstances fulfill theirs. Some people like the organizers are very though on singers or be it any other field that what may come they have to fulfill their commitments, in such case when you do not have the mental strength to stand on stage and deliver it?s better to ask a friend to fill into your shoes.

Black Eyed Peas leader will.i.am says he’s “really excited and nervous at the same time” about becoming a solo artist with the September 25 release of “Songs About Girls.”

“I was like, ‘How and why should I put out a solo project?’ I could just do another Black Eyed Peas record,” he tells Billboard.com. The hook, he says, was making “Songs About Girls” a semi-autobiographical conceptual piece “where all the songs could tell a story of falling in love, falling out of love, trying to get back in love, destructing love and destroying love and then starting a new situation. That journey is what makes this unique.”

The album features only one guest star, Snoop Dogg, on the electroclash-styled track “Donque.”

Besides the album’s 12 songs, will.i.am shot videos for eight of the tracks and stitched them together into “a movie about making a movie” that will accompany the CD.

will.i.am plans to perform some of the “Songs About Girls” material live when Black Eyed Peas hit the road for a two-month international tour on September 4 in Israel. The group will play in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, South America and Mexico but not in North America. “There’s no Black Eyed Peas record out,” he explains, “and America’s weird like that. If you ain’t got nothing in the marketplace, (the fans) ain’t showing up.”
