I have been hearing a lot about Usher’s protege Justin Bieber, a 15 year old is from Stratford, Ontario (Yes he is Canadian). He has been tearing up the YouTube channels that led him to get notice among the industry’s finest – including Usher.
Currently, he is working on his new album which includes production from The Dream, Midi Mafia and many others. Here is Justin’s first single “One Time” which is produced by Tricky Stewart. Can you guess what he is talking about without listening to the track? Of course, Puppy Love. Awww So Sweet. One thing I do like about Justin that he can really sing. Not to mention that he can hit notes most women can’t hit. He is someone you should not sleep on. Check it out! Let me know what you think?

As I walk into the Sound Academy anxious to catch the newest upcoming artist to start off the Spring/Summer edition of concerts in Toronto. I look around the room and I realize how mixed the crowd is from young to old, women and men are all here for the same reason I decided to dress fresh and purchase this concert ticket. They are all here to witness the full-scaled concert from a Canadian-born artist “Drake”. I found this pretty interesting, seeming that Toronto has been known for being the Screwface Capital.As DJ “Charlie Brown” spins iconic classic records to warm up the crowd, I started to think over how long it took for Toronto to be the pinnacle arena for new artists. Is Toronto becoming the New Face of Hip-hop? Are We really marching behind our “OWN” Artist(s)?
Spectacular from Pretty Ricky is back with ANOTHER video to prove that he can show the ladies how he can move. Last week in an interview with Kendra G, he did mention that he would be doing more videos and there’s many more to come. (smh). For those who didn’t see the first video, he made a challenge to Day 26, Omarion, Chris Brown, Trey Songz to see who is the BEST r&b singer around! – Peep the first video here
In this video – you will see Spectacular wearing black underwear and black socks. Where did the socks come from? But what makes the video very funny is that he is seen having sex with a chair. A CHAIR. Who does that?!?!?! I can’t forget to mention that he has a routine like it’s Gymnastics at the 2008 Summer Olympics. This is a big cry for help that you NEED someone in your life. I wonder what is next..
Peep the video and vote. Who do you think is the person behind the video? I think it’s the new guy – Lingerie (Why is your name Lingerie anyways?)

According to Billboard.com, Fake Drake Albums have been sold over iTunes. (Say What Now?) People are trying to capitalize on Drake since he is the #1 unsigned artist of 2009. It’s been a minute since an artist of his caliber has been making MAJOR waves and a major record label isn’t the one supporting him right now. Actually, it sounds like some NBA draft pick. Drake said it best “Rookie of year, ’06 Chris Paul shit”. Everyone is patiently waiting to see which major label he will call home. Read below.
An unauthorized album, “The Girls Love Drake,” which features selections from the Toronto rapper’s mixtape “So Far Gone” and other tracks, was released May 28th by a label called Canadian Money Entertainment and distributed by the Independent Online Distribution Alliance (IODA) on iTunes, Rhapsody and Amazon.
Drake’s camp, which is still trying to clear the samples on “So Far Gone” and his two other mixtapes in hopes of selling them in stores, says it didn’t authorize the release.
If it hadn’t been disqualified on the grounds that it wasn’t confirmed as being an official album, “The Girls Love Drake” would have debuted this week at No. 101 on the Billboard 200, NO. 16 on the Digital Albums chart and No. 1 on the Heatseekers tally. “Best I Ever Had” and “Every Girl” (credited to Young Money), two tracks on the mixtape that have previously charted, appear on this week’s Hot Digital Songs chart thanks to downloads of “The Girls Love Drake.” Additionally, “Best I Ever Had” jumps 60-18 on the Billboard 200, while “Every Girl” leaps 75-35, although chart experts predict they will both drop again once the unofficial album is no longer available.
After finding the album on iTunes, Drake’s management sent a cease-and-desist notice to the retailer, which has since removed it. At press time, the album was still available on Rhapsody and Amazon, although Drake’s manager Al Branch says he’s having it removed from these retailers as well.
A few days ago, I got a chance to listen to this upcoming rapper J Cole who is currently signed to Jay-z’ Roc Nation. Jermaine Cole aka J Cole, a native of North Carolina recently released his mixtape – (The Warm Up To) The Warm Up. Now you know if Jay-z co-signs someone, this person has to be HUGE. And you are right! J Cole is NEXT up. In a recent interview with Complex Magazine, he starting rapping at the age of 12 with a similar style to Master P. As he got older, he was in influence by 2Pac, Nas & Canibus. Now at the age of 24, he is on his grind to do “By Any Means Necessary” Read more on the interview on Complex Magazine – here
