Lupe & Kenna finally released the visuals for their Haiti relief track, Resurrection. It’s part of a compilation album presented by Music for Relief, and the profit from the downloads will go directly to relief efforts in Haiti. Even though it’s no longer the “news of the day” and CNN has pushed it to the back burner, there’s more that needs to be done to help. The album also features unreleased music from Linkin Park, Alanis Morissette, Metric & much more. And really, good music for a good cause is a win-win situation.

The homie P Reign just dropped his second single “In My Hood“. His first single “Money in My pocket” created a big hype for him in Toronto, Canada and internationally so this follow up single will hopefully bring more attention to his music. For those who don’t know him, he’s a determined artist. He knows what he wants and is not afraid to get it. For a while now, there has been a mixtape in the works, and it will be coming out shortly. For now, enjoy “In My Hood” produced by Canadian producer, T-Minus [How Low - Ludacris.] If you want to find out more about P, check out an exclusive interview we did with him on the set of the videoshoot for “Money in My Pocket” last year.

I like this kid. He’s come a long way. I will be the first to testify to that. In the past year or so he has grown and matured into a good musician and I honestly believe that there is room for artists like him in this over-saturated business of music that we’re in.

Words from EF
“The Chixtape is a concept I came up with back in high-school…and it is by no means a mushy-gushy I-love-you-like-cooked-food kinda thing. It goes without saying that relationships (and male/female interactions in general) have their ups and downs. By compiling these tracks (new AND old) I tried to scratch the surface on some of my experiences…and the experiences of people around me (as inspiration comes from anywhere).
There’s been a bit of confusion about the “special features” that I have records with. Joe Budden, Big Sean, and Chrisette Michele are all on “The Delivery Boy”, not “The Chixtape”. This project was just to give you guys something to hold on to and something for me to do as I wait for these amazing artists to send me what I need left from them.
Here it is.

So Chris Brown dropped this mixtape earlier today, alongside DJ Drama & DJ Sense. I think more R&B artists should drop mixtapes regularly, between, leading up to or even alongside studio projects like most MC’s do. Worked wonders for Trey Songz. Anyway, Chris seems eager to break free even more from his squeaky clean image (uhh..) by givin us some x-rated content. Invented Head? I ain’t mad…

Best You nEver Heard is finally upon us. Mikkey’s latest opus serves as an introduction to those who may be unfamiliar with Mr. Halsted, or who see him on blogs and websites daily, and can’t quite figure out why. Well, now is you chance.
This project includes tracks spanning from his time with Kanye West to his stint with Cash Money, and more recent work with No ID. These 38 heaters should more than get you up to speed. Best You nEver Heardfeatures new, old and unreleased material – including snippets off his upcoming project, Dark Room (eg: “Runnin’ My City” featuring Bun B, Killer Mike, Crooked I and others.)
The project was mixed by DJ Toure Stylz who did an exceptional job, so give it up for him as well.

After months of recording, the highly anticipated “The Pursuit LP” is finally here. Hip-Hop artist The ILLZ delivers 11 solid tracks, all with their own unique, emotional journeys. Fans will recognize internet sensations “Heaven (Higher)” and “Melfi“, as well as “Prelude to the Sickness” featured on DJBooth.net’s freestyle series. In true ILLZ fashion, the album is a mix of eclectic, alternative/rock-tinged beats with a few surprises thrown into the mix, such as the New York club-scene flavored, “Let it Fall” and the gritty, Hip-Hop underground track “Dark Side of the Room”. Fans and skeptics alike will see a wide range of emotion, depth of character, and full spectrum of what Hip-Hop music can be.

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.
