This man is so incredibly gorgeous, that I sit speechless with a grin on my face every time I see a photo, or watch an interview. My girl came over today and showed me this interview he did on Tyra. I fell off. Can 1 woman really have all this man?! If you haven’t watched the movie Obsessed yet, starring the Edris “Fine-ass” Elba and Beyonce (def. not the right person for the role) you need to get your ass in the theatre as soon as possible. He is a delicacy…a fine piece of eye candy which I so preciously cherished while watching the movie … (Which by the way I’ll be going back in the theatre to watch on sunday as well…by myself while I drool over this fine ass man)
Anyhow, I thought I’d share the video with you so that you can fall in love with such an exquisite man also.

This hit the net about a week ago, and I must say I’m very much feeling the DJ Khalil & Chin Injeti-produced track. This is the lead single from Clipse’s new album ‘Til the Casket Drops and the artowrk was designed by iconic OriginalFake designer, KAWS.
Having loved loved loved their first highly underrated album Lord Willin’ and the follow-up Hell Hath No Fury, I’m looking forward to what Clipse will bring to the table this time around. They’ve been staying busy and relevant lately by dabbling in the world of streetwear, making waves with their label Playcloths.

For our readers in jersey (or for those who aren’t and are willing to get down there)
88-Keys will be performing LIVE!
Influenced in his teen years by Prince Paul’s work on De La Soul’s legendary album 3 Feet High and Rising, N.Y.C. native Charles Misodi Njapa became 88-Keys and made it his mission to become a hip-hop producer. First he became an intern and then an engineer at West Hempstead’s famous recording studio The Music Palace, where he began networking and working with rappers like Large Professor, Nas, Q-Tip, and Pete Rock. The big break came in 1998 when one of his productions landed on the Mos Def and Talib Kweli album Black Star. The next year his remix of Macy Gray’s “Why Didn’t You Call Me” took things higher, and then in 2001 a track on Beanie Sigel’s The Reason introduced him to Jay-Z and the Roc-A-Fella family. Work for the likes of Musiq (Soulchild) and the Pharcyde took the producer to 2008 and his debut full-length, The Death of Adam. Released by the Decon label, the album was executive produced by Kanye West and featured guest shots from Bilal, Little Brother, Kid Cudi, and Redman. ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide

I got in this industry because I feel I have what it takes to make a difference. I have been working hard, sleeping less, playing less and then playing more for the past few years…not too many. I write, consult, organize, plan, plot, entertain and work hard to make that difference I focused on in the first place. ILuvLola is a lifestyle…not just mine, yours too, so give what you can so that you can make that difference with me.

Almost 20 years old. I love music (all types) and everything in that surrounding area from movies to TV to fashion: I love it all. I'm extremely opinionated which is a good thing but can sometimes be a bad thing. I hold no punches and I'm straight to the point, but I swear I'm a lovely person :D

I write, I create & I learn as I go. My ears feel naked without headphones and I'm a blackberry monster til death. I write CD reviews for fun on my phone & I see music videos in my head. X-style slow-mo, video chicks & all. I'm a little neurotic. No, a lot; but I'm your favourite daydreamer's favourite daydreamer.
