Dana Owens came through last night to Common’s Hennessy event and did her one-two thing. Yeah, her Royal Highness can still rock a crowd. Check the first two minutes of this clip for further evidence. Us lazy Rap Radar staffers lost. Props: Team Miss Info
A few weeks ago, YN said no one cared about LL Cool J’s new television show, NCIS: Los Angeles. Well my melanin-deficient friend, you’re wrong. According to Woooha, the shows draws 17 million people per episode. In fact, CBS is picking it up for a full season. Don’t call it a comeback. Wait, it is.
Here are some flicks from Trey Songz’s video shoot, “Say Aah.” The clip features Fabolous and some PYT’s. Nice! More after the jump. Props: RTNY

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.

Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
