I'm loving Rihanna's second single "Hard" featuring Young Jeezy, but I'm undecided on her decision to sex it up for the cover art. No hate, because Rihanna is one hot beezy -- but I don't know if this is the best look right now. Check out the song below
Blitz the Ambassador and Bajah & the Dry Eye Crew take the stage at the new Knitting Factory in Williamsburg to represent for West Africa at the OkayAfrica official CMJ event, presented by Okayplayer.com. Taking a contemporary spin on "world" music, Blitz and Bajah, along with Jahdan Blakkamoore and Rawanda's IyaDede, will be mashing up African sounds with hip hop, dancehall, electropop, and funk for a night that will change your view on the continent's music forever.
I heart IyaDede... so bummed to miss this show. If you're in NYC PLEASE go rep for me!
My homegirl Gina Torres is one of the dopest video correspondents EVAR... she got all up in Fab's biz and he gave her the goods on his album, movie, son and his relationship with his baby moms.
The long awaited EP from one of my favorite people on the planet Spree Wilson has finally arrived. Spree is like no other, I don't think I can say enough good things about him or his music... just know he writes, produces, plays mad instruments and helps people like Andre 3000 and Novel be the far-out rap/rock stars they are. Check out the EP art above and below.
Check out the homies Novel & Angela Yee hard at work! Also shoutout to my bestie Raushanah who makes a cameo at the beginning. I can't wait to see this video!
Kelis is on the new cover of OYSTER magazine this month. She is also reportedly almost done recording her new album and shopping a new deal for the release. Oh and yes the baby should be here any moment now.
My homie Tania AKA K.lee dragged me out to Onyx last night so that she could promote not one - but two - of our CREW related projects. If you haven't been introduced to Body Magic yet, that's the black bustier looking number she's rocking and she capped it off by wearing Safetyz men's boxers (I posted about them last week)on top. I'm a little more conservative than her so I wasn't sure about the 'fit, but Tania pulled it off like a champ -- getting more than a little attention from Onyx's DJ, the dancers and a good number of patrons.
Special shoutout to Dallas Martin @ Def Jam & birthday girl Monica over at Onyx.
Keep an eye out for more CREW related posts coming in the near future.
