New artist of the week...RAYE 6

An already familiar voice from tracks with Ghost Face Killah, Joe Budden, and M1 of Dead Prez, RAYE 6 (think Vanity, Apollonia...click?) has been making a huge stir in New York City with her to sexy cameos accompanied by Bubble Girls, rose petals and eyes glued onto and mesmerized by her amazing performance. Her impressive arsenal of skills and gifts (she produces, writes and sings most of her songs & she runs biz) are only matched by her stunning looks. This beautiful lady's got quite a life story to weave into sonic vibrations, and she will pour her heart into her music without ever holding back. "Raised by a single mother Raye 6 has taken a fun spin on female empowerment. Aware and vocal of the issues facing women Raye 6 inspires the ladies to take control of their existence. Influenced by anyone who has stepped outside of the norm to create their own reality, Raye 6 brings you into her world of uncensored expression, class, fantasy and indulgence. Leading an all male band during her sexually charged performances leaves audiences feeling turned on and free." She is unstoppable. Make sure to keep your eyes out for her debut album "SHE LOOKS LIKE FUN" coming out soon. Hot shit ya'll look out for her!!!

Girls just wanna have fun!!!

Lately a lot of people have been telling me I party to much as if Rhianna didn't tell me to Live My Life so this is my response to them...

So what I go out a lot I'm young and I'm living life as long as my priority's are in order and my life headed in the right direction I have every right to party the night away. I work very hard doing the day so I think I deserve to pop as many bottles as I want party on table couches till I fall off. Not say I ever will fall off because I carry myself in a decent matter in the club. Plus I see the same faces every time I go out which makes me feel even better I'm not alone on this one. Come on it a soical gathering I get to chat and party with my fellow D.Cer's. So just cause I choose not to be bored or sleep by 10pm so what I'm still a rock star and may be you should jock Jay-Z and come join me......

Here are some pics of me and my girls @ club IndeBleu...L-kisses

Compared to M.I.A, Santogold has let it be known that she is her own unique artist with he own style. Former member of the band The killers she broke out with her own solo project. Her bombastic, elcetro, punk and hip-hop style is the reason she has been name as a knockoff M.I.A. Her background and influences is what makes her so not like M.I.A. After being shut down by a few popular producer she is now ready to drop her own project self titled (Simply Santogold) which is in stores now.

Underrated but deserves a spot at the table is what I called it. With no fear of expressing their unique style and creative flow these hipsters are making there own way into the game with kid sisters Chi-town flow all the way to the east coast with Micky Factz dope boy fresh swagg.

GO COP IT!!!!

Favs rappers Lil Wayne and Plies drop there Album the Carter III and Definition of Real today and I wonder who is going to sell. Rumors are up in the air that the weezy fans are not really felling the Carter III and to be honest I'm not either I think weezy is so comfortable with his style he is starting to say anything.But on the under hand that new plies is hard he has calabos with Jamie Fox , Keyshia Cole, and J.holiday. So if you plan on getting these CDs please BUY them and not download them!!!
