You couldn’t see it coming down his eyes, but Rae says the success of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II‘s made him cry. “I was shocked,” says Raekwon, who released the project on his Ice H20 label through EMI. “My fans really stuck up for me in a way they never have before. It was one of those joyful, teary moments.” Keeping up the momentum, his single “Catalina” is also getting serviced on your FM dial. *Throws up W* Props: […]

As YN indicated, Mimi held a concert earlier this morning in Central Park. Following her fruity introduction, she performs a “I Want To Know What Love Is” off Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel.

Not feeling the title Blak Roc ’cause it looks like he’s hanging on to his past legacy but hey what’d I know. He clearly still has the juice to recruit some big dawgs to the table and the Black Keys sound kinda tough. Hey, is that RZA? They’ve come a long way since the ODB blow-up on Video Hits One. Ha! […]
