Black Eyed Pea will.i.am has begun his own record label in partnership with A&M/Interscope and under his own company, will.i.am global, which currently operates his clothing line. The will.i.am music group’s first official release will be Timeless by Sergio Mendes. Macy Gray’s next album and fellow-Pea Fergie’s solo debut will also come out on the label.

Despite these demanding new projects, the entrepreneur is not neglecting his own music career. He plans to begin recording his own solo debut this summer and will work with Snoop Dogg, P. Diddy, and Nas in the coming weeks.http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001843964
