During Nicki’s gig in Trinidad this past Saturday, she spoke with local newspaper, Newsday. In her interview, she said that she dislikes her rap moniker and wanted to change it for her debut, Pink Friday. Hey, if it ain’t broke… “I was always called Nicki at home so I was known as Nicki Maraj but my first producer did not like Maraj and thought Minaj sounded better. I still hate the name and I was going to go back to […]

For the second time, T.I. returned to Forest City Federal Correctional Complex in Arkansas. Officials told TMZ the rapper checked in “sometime this afternoon.” Apparently, his information has yet to be processed. In related news, Lil Wayne will walk out of Rikers Island a free man, this Thursday. Whose turn is it next?
Light-skinned Jermaine stayed on his show grind with a new addition, DJ Dummy for a gig at Mansion in our Nation’s Capital this past Saturday. Here he runs through his two singles and gets a strong response from the Howard Homecoming crowd. Also thrown in, some rehearsal footage of “Higher” and “It Won’t Be Long”.

Technically this isn’t new. In fact, it’s been on YouTube for about two weeks. But the video site you love to hate dug it up and brought it to the forefront. Obviously, this was shot sometime during Roc-A-Fella’s glory days. Remember the time.
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
