It’s not Kanye’s Runaway, but a means of promotion all the same. After releasing his debut tape Higher Education around this time last year, Blake Kelly is putting the finishing touches on his next project, appropriately titled Plane Mode. Given this short teaser, it should one to wake and bake to for the duration of the winter.
Forty seconds isn’t enough. After the jump, checkout some additional sneak peaks into Blake’s tape in flight.
As one of the first East Asian R&B/pop artists to make noise in the music industry, JMD/Universal Records Baiyu is continuing to prep her debut. Music isn’t her first foray into entertainment however. The Gaithersburg, Maryland, resident has been a host for the MTVU show Freshman for the past three years as well as her work with Seventeen Music.
“Take A Number” is her first major single which is produced by KQuick. The Bronx’s own Fred The Godson lends his services with the feature verse. Be on the lookout for more material from Baiyu in the near future.
In the November issue of XXL Magazine (50 Cent & Soulja Boy on cover), R. Kelly spoke on his relationship with Tupac & his original plans for the Best Of Both Worlds LP.
Well, “I Wish” was basically about Tupac about first. I met Tupac in L.A.- the [Hotel Nikko] and he was rolling by in his drop-top-whatever hot car. I seen him, and yelled out, “Pac! Pac” He was driving by, rolling by himself. I’m like, his nigga got a lot of balls to be rolling by himself! So he made a U-Turn, jumped out the car. “What up, my nigga?” So we kicked it for a minute. I said, “Dude, we need to do an album.” See, The Best Of Both Worlds was for me and Tupac first. “I Wish” was gonna be the first song that we were gonna do.
A totally trashed  Wizard Kid Cudi can be viewed being carried/dragged/schlopped back to his car, where he is inserted in the back seat and then neatly folded in half.
Election day is literally right around the corner (tomorrow) so the Rosenthal boys decided poke some fun at John McCain’s gang. If you happen to be a Republican, don’t click the link. If not, click play.
Regardless, be sure to go out and vote tomorrow in the midterm elections.
Here is the full interview of my recent sit down with entrepreneur extraordinaire Terry Kennedy. Last week, TK cleared the air and gave his stance on his falling out with Curren$y and breakup with Angela Simmons. He also shed light on:
- His reaction on how his show Being Terry Kennedy is being received
- A scene which didn’t make the show he wishes did
- The biggest change of companies embracing skater culture over the years
- The harder endeavor: fashion or music
- The chances he gets his own video game a la Shaun White and Tony Hawk
- If his nickname Bam Magera gave him still sticks (“Compton Ass Terry“)
Be sure to catch Terry Kennedy airing Tuesdays on BET at 10 p.m. Also make sure you follow TK on Twitter and Facebook.
