Rapper Yung Joc has partnered with Rockport to launch the "Roc With Joc" contest, a multi-city talent search for the next aspiring music mogul. The search kicked off Thursday in Detroit and will make stops in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Atlanta, where contestants can call into radio stations to list their various skills. The Bad Boy rapper will then bring the finalists to the album-release party for his August 28 LP, Hustlenomics, after which the winner will hit the road with Joc to put their talents to the test.

Actor/singer Jamie Foxx is set to return to the big screen in a new film, The Soloist, via Dreamworks. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Foxx will star in the John Wright directed musical biopic, about a homeless musician with schizophrenia who dreams of playing the Walt Disney Concert Hall.  The movie is based on a 12-part series of articles by Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez. Lopez's articles "From Skid Row to Disney Hall," were originally published in 2005 and are slated for a forthcoming book via Putnam.
