Missy Elliot feat. Pharell Williams & Teyana Taylor - Put It On Ya (Preview)
Missy Elliot has always been an innovator and unafraid of taking chances musically. Her latest joint featuring Pharell and teen singer Teyana entitled “Put It On Ya” finds Missy rhyming, singing and speaking pig Latin over a B-more inspired track from Pharell. This one is going to burn up dance floors in 2009. For now we only have the preview but it’s about three minutes long. I’m sure the entire version will come soon.

Charles Hamilton - Brooklyn Girl ( Performance @ The Viper Room L.A)
Charles Hamilton - Brooklyn Girl @ The Viper Room L.A from Mario Rangel on Vimeo.
Charles Hamilton has a boat load of music. It seems like the MC drops a mixtape almost every week. However, his most known song seems to be his ode to New York women from a certain borough entitled “Brooklyn Girl”. He took his East Coast anthem to the West Coast at The Viper Room Club by performing to a packed house. Check it out above.
Kanye West - Stronger (Live @ VH1 Storytellers)
As reported before, Kanye West recently hit up VH1 Storytellers for a performance of some of his classics as well as an explanation of each joint he plays.

Christian Rich feat. Lil Wayne - Stacks
Chicago bred Christian Rich hit the blogosphere with an Electronic inspired menacing sounding track entitled “Stacks”. The band is mostly known for their production work with the likes of Lil Kim and early Clipse records, but here they stand out on their own with a song that would sound just as comfortable on Hip Hop radio as it would at a sweaty dance club. The sound is built on the repetitive, braggadocious chorus by none other by Mr. Carter himself. Download the track below.

Jamie Foxx feat. T-Pain - Blame It
There is no song hotter in the club right now then Jamie Foxx’s ode to drunken mistakes “Blame It”. The joint featuring no other then T-Pain now gets the glossy Hype Williams video treatment with an array of expected and unpredictable cameos. The guest appearances include Ron Howard, Quincy Jones, Samuel L. Jackson, Forest Whitaker, Jake Gyllenhaal, Cedric The Entertainer, Morris Chesnut, Tatyana Ali, Bill Bellamy, and more. This is the advantage you have when you have an Oscar for best actor. Check it out above.
Rapper Big Pooh - The Comeback (Trailer)
I for one am very excited by the release of Rapper Big Pooh’s upcoming album Rappers Delight. I’ve been a fan since Little Brother’s The Listening. The MC is on the verge of releasing the jump off video “The Comeback”. In the video above you can check out the preview of the upcoming visuals to the song which obviously feature some lovely ladies.
UNN presents Kanye West - ReUP (Vintage Interview)
UNN presents Kanye West - ReUP from Urban News Network on Vimeo.
The firs time that Kanye came onmy radar, much like many others, is hearing the instant classic production on Jay-z’s The Blueprint. By the time Kanye dropped his debut album College Dropout he was offering a new refreshing voice in a Hip Hop landscape that was overly aggressive and gangsta. Kanye took the backpack world and the mainstream audience and helped connect them in ways that have never been done before. In the interview above we see Kanye 5 years ago and what was going through his mind at the time. 5 years doesn’t seem that long ago, but Kanye has been planning for the kind of super stardom he has now his entire life. Check out the video above.
DJ Drama feat. Akon, Snoop Dogg & T.I. - Day Dreamin’
Drama - New Music - More Music Videos
DJ Drama has been running the mixtape game for now. He also already has released a dope album Gangsta Grillz: The Album. The follow up Gangsta Grillz: The Album Part 2 is set to drop March 31st and just like a mixtape line up, the star power on it is ridiculous. The jump off single “Day Dreamin’” is an ode to strippers featuring Akon, Snoop Dogg and T.I. If you frequent the gentleman’s club chances are you’ll be hearing this one allot. Check out the video.
John Legend - Lay Your Head Down
Sometimes it’s good to get a break from the aggressive Hip Hop music and cold Electro tracks for something more soulful. GOOD music crooner John Legend releases a new joint that easily sounds like it could have come out of the vaults of Motown or Stax entitled “Lay Your Head Down”. Complete with lush violins and clanking piano keys. The song that can accurately be described as “baby making music” is situated below.
Rick Ross - Stylin On 50 Cent Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks
In the never ending saga between Ross and 50, Ricky makes yet another video concerning his distaste for the MC. This one goes on for more then eight minutes as Ricky shows off his wardrobe, jewelry all the while never forgetting to remind us that Deeper Then Rap will be out March 24th. Is that an ascot Ricky?
Jadakiss - Can’t Stop Me
Anticipation is starting to grow for Jadakiss’ 3rd album dropping in March. The visuals for his 2nd single “Can’t Stop Me” is cinematic in scope with scenes that look like it could be from any John Woo film. The street single finds Jada in punchline mode once again as he proves he can rap circles around most MCs in Hip Hop right now. Check it out above.
50 Cent - Pimpin’ Curly: Meet Uncle Pinky (Episode 4)
If Before I Self Destruct doesn’t sell as well as 50 cent wants it to perhaps he has a career in the comedy world. 50 returns with yet another episode of Pimpin’ Curly. This one features Clifton Powell aka Pinky from the Friday films. Hilarity ensues.
Mary J. Blidge feat. Ne-Yo - Love
Mary J. Blidge has been likened to Aretha Franklin as the emotional, soulful voice of the Hip Hop generation and I can’t say I disagree. Mary has lasted throughout the years by simply flexing her pipes and making quality music. She returns to the scene with another top notch R&B artist Ne-Yo with a new song entitled simply “Love”. Check out the link below. Shout out to Alex for the heads up.
Lil Wayne - Prom Queen (Trailer)
Lil Wayne already conquered the Hip Hop world, now he sets his eye on pop rock radio. Check out the video above which is a preview of his first single “Prom Queen” from the upcoming Rebirth album
Busta Rhymes ft. Ron Browz, Rick Ross, Spliff Star, N.O.R.E. & Red Cafe - Arab Money (RMX Pt. 2)
You better believe that Busta is going to milk this “ARab Money” thing for all it’s worth. Just a few days ago the original remix video hit the blogs and now part two featuring Ron Browz, Rick Ross, Spliff Star, N.O.R.E. & Red Cafe is here for your viewing enjoyment. Expect parts 3 -20 very soon.

Wale - Chillin’ (Live)
Until Wale’s debut album finally drops we’ll have to take freestyles and performances. The video above shows the MC performing what is said to be his second single entitled “Chillin’”. I for one can’t wait until the CD quality version of this joint drops. Check it out above.
Ryan Leslie - Sold Out
Sold Out from Ryan Leslie on Vimeo.
Never has the term “selling out” had more of a positive connotation. Ryan Leslie is on the cusp of super stardom as his debut albums is flying off the shelves. Check out the summery from her below:
7 minutes after Mr. Leslie arrived at Virgin with his parents, the store was sold out of Ryan Leslie albums Like the Just Right jam session on the 2nd half of the video clip
Kid Cudi - Sky Might Fall
A few days ago Kanye posted a clip of this song on his blog from a Transformer 2 preview. Here, Kid Cudi takes his Kanye produced joint “Sky Might Fall” to the stage. Sounds like the next single to me.
KiD CuDi performs the Kanye West produced track Sky Might Fall in its entirety. Filmed at Toad’s Place in New Haven, Connecticut on 2/27/09.

After showing you yesterday the Vans Vault Fall 2009 Del Barco Mid, we preview today the Del Barco Low.

Also with Vans you can always be sure that the price is going to be reasonable.
The Del Barco Low comes in overall 5 colorways and features a nice mix of canvas and premium leathers. Both for the more subtle and the more flashy dresser there is choice in the offering. These should be coming to stores in August. Via Marcus Troy.

Big Sean Interview & Playlist
Together with our friends from Fairtilizer we present you an interview with Big Sean and an exclusive playlist that he created for us. Big Sean has recently been signed by Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music and is now working with fellow artist Pharrell and The Dream.
We touched base with Big Sean on how his work with Kanye West started, about music and also his favorite brands and much more.
Read the Big Sean Interview after the jump.
What’s up Big Sean, what are you up to currently?
Man just grinding. Finalizing this album, getting ready to drop this mixtape with 10.deep, and doing shows…that’s about it, just really trying to get the music out there, you know?
How did you hook up with Kanye West and G.O.O.D. Music?
Very long story! I actually sat and told how I got on and met Kanye on the this 5 part Youtube series called “UKNOWBIGSEAN”. It’s a long story, but to sum it up in a few words…by a series of crazy events, and after a bunch of things going wrong, I got a chance to rap for Kanye at a radio station right here in Detroit as he was walking out…he ended up really liking the rap and listened to the CD I gave him. To sum up a long series of events, he ended up following up with me eventually and ended up signing me. Took a couple years and it’s actually a hell of a story. I think anybody who has a dream or a goal should really check out how I got on. I’ve heard it’s quite inspirational, and like I said you can check it out on Youtube or www.uknowbigsean.com.
Being signed by Kanye is the dream of a million of artists on the grind, what made you stand out?
I think what made me stand out is my individuality and voice, I guess Kanye saw something he thought could possibly be big. He’s one of the realest and toughest critics in the game. So for him to take a liking to me was unbelievable. I’ve been with Kanye when other people try to rap for him and nothing has ever come out of it. And everytime something like that happens I always say in my head “damn I feel their pain” because they’re doing exactly what I did, but for some reason it just worked for me. But I’ll tell you this, I didn’t get lucky in anyway because I work harder than most I feel. I feel like anybody and everybody in life who does a craft and has a dream gets ONE SHOT! You have to decide if you’ll be ready or not.
2009 will be a big year for you, going from the mixtape game to putting out your debut album on GOOD/Def Jam. What should we expect?
You should expect nothing but the best. Seriously. I think the album is going to be considered classic! I really put my heart and soul in this project…tears, long nights! It all shows on the music I think though. I just hope people hear it. That’s all I care about. Hopefully people buy it, but if they burn it, fuck it! I would rather have somebody who is not going to buy my album burn it and listen to it, then to not hear it at all. But overall I hope people buy it and love it! I’m also looking foward to releasing UKNOWBIGSEAN the mixtape. Because I feel like it will be my intro to a lot of people, and I’m definitely excited 10.deep is going to get behind it.
How is it working with heavywights like Kanye, Pharrell, The-Dream?
A dream come true. They are all very professional and very talented. Pharrell actually requested to work with me after he heard me rap so that was like a dream come true. He’s one of the coolest people I’ve ever met in the industry. The-Dream is definitely amazing. You get in the studio with him and you just need to book a hour or two. He’s quick with his work but it’s so quality. I don’t know how he does it. Kanye is the king. Working with him is always a blessing. The thing I admire about Kanye is he’ll stay at something till it’s just right. I admire his perfection.
What was exciting musically in 2008?
NERD, Kanye, TI, MIA, Santagold, Coldplay, etc. It was a very exciting year I think. I think in 2008 people really opened up more musically. I think people started embracing and appreciating good quality music.
What will be exciting musically in 2009?
GOOD Music the label will be a force to be reckoned with this year. It’s a lot of new energy this year, I’m anxious to see what’s going to happen.
Hottest brands in 2008?
Bape, 10.deep, LV, Nike, BBC/Ice Cream, Levi, Nudi. That’s just streetwear…
Hottest brands in 2009?
Bape, BBC/IC, 10.deep, LV, etc. Some new lines emerging too this year that’s dope, Burn Rubber, Fli Pelican, BirdBrain, etc. It’s going to be a good year for clothes too. Nikes are always essential. Vans are cool too. The Kanye LV shoes are by far amazing though…
The game has drastically changed in recent years. Do you feel the era of CDs is over?
No I just feel like it’s changed. I feel like in order for someone to buy a CD of you, I just think they want to be more connected to the artist. They just can’t like just the single and buy the album, those days are over. You can go on the internet and grab any song you want now. So I think in order for someone to buy your product they have to really care about you and want to support you. I think the era of the CD isn’t over, just completely different.
How important is the internet for your grind?
It is as important as air to me. As a new artist trying to get out here, the internet is key for me and artist like me. Because people don’t know who the fuck we are. But the interenet gives them access to check us out and to give them insight in our lives. The internet is the wave of the future. People are starting to live on it.
How do you see the internet evolve in the coming years?
I think the internet is just getting bigger and bigger. I feel like the more convenient, faster and easier it gets, the more it will expand and be used. I think the internet is really taking over the world. EVERYTHING is on the net!
