A friend put me onto this rapper/singer/graphic designer & I’m extra glad she did. Toronto’s own Wolf J. has been on his grind for a minute now, bringing something different to the table with his “tapemix”; mixing hip hop, r&b, rock & electro with ease.
Download it Here & peep “Pose, Vogue” under the cut…

If you know me you know that I’m a HUGE Toronto Raptors fan.
If you know anything about basketball you know that Chris Bosh is our captain. I’ve been hearing about this project for a while via twitter particularly via Hadi, Will and Chris Bosh himself, so when this trailer dropped a few days ago I was over way too excited.
We’ve all seen the games, the highlights on ESPN and his videos on Youtube but i feel like this will allow fans to see a different side of Chris Bosh.

This video dropped over the summer and I’m definitely wondering how the hell I missed it. It came back into my mind after hearing it on the Autumn Exquisite Mixtape we posted last week. Definitely feeling the track and the Chris Ak-directed video.

Thisis50 posted this on their site with the Belly takeover…It’s pretty good idea of where he’s at and what he’s done. You don’t have to google it. It’s all right here. I would actually suggest something similar for a lot of artists who are trying to promote themselves. Instead of sending blogs and websites a mass e-mail about who you are…do a video EPK of everything. I think there’s an official one coming as well…this was just like a brief sum-up.

So Luda’s new single hit the net; just after the BET Hip Hop Awards performance of the song aired. This is the first cut off his next album Battle of the Sexes, which is set to drop sometime in 2010. It’s produced by Toronto’s own T-Minus and has club banger written all over it. I see you!

Now, THIS is dope. For the iPhone or iPod touch, you basically take a picture of anything and it loads the colour palette into the app. Then, you create your kicks from there to customize, share, upload, & purchase right on your iPhone.

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'm a 20-something full time student with a great passion for writing and love anything and anyone that will stimulate my mind. I enjoy the simple things in life with a lil' flair. You'll either love me or hate me, but I'm sure you'll love me. You won't catch me without my mp3 and my blackberry. THEY ARE LIFE. "To whom much is given, much is required". Play hard but always remeber to work harder.

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.
