Best seats in your house. Enjoy.

AK graces the March issue of Gotham mag. Sure would love to take more than a peek.

YBF

Before WordPress went on a brief hiatus, Fat Joe stopped by Angie Martinez’s show this afternoon on Hot 97. Leading into DJ Enuff’s Rush Hour mix, Joe dropped some vocals once more over Snoop’s “I Wanna Rock“.

With Dawson James Van der Beek taking a backseat, actress Michelle Trachtenberg (or as we call her, Harriet The Spy) recites Nicki Minaj’s verse from “Shakin It 4 Daddy”on her way home. So surreal.

Complex

Drake issued this statement regarding phony bookings. Drizzy is co-managed by Bryant Management and Hip Hop Since 1978 and is booked through International Creative Management. All confirmed appearances can be found here on his Myspace page.

It has been brought to my attention that false promoters and booking agents are illegally using my name and likeness to promote concerts and club appearances for their own financial gain. It is frustrating for me to hear that many of my fans, who like myself are innocent victims in these scams, have been misled due to the greed of these promoters. I apologize to any fan that has been a victim of these circumstances or feels let down by false advertising. Please be assured that my team and I take these matters seriously and are actively cooperating with authorities. I cannot thank my fans enough for supporting my music and all that I do.
