NEW MUSIC: LAURYN HILL - REPERCUSSIONS

Ooohh La La (L-Boogie voice)! She's back. I'm psyched! Lauryn Hill has returned. It goes without saying that she was such a dominating force for concious-women in hip-hop in the 1990's. Scheduled to guest appear at this year's Rock the Bells tour, Ms. Hill is making sure that she's not forgotten. Take a peak at her new song, "Repercussions". She just made my day =)

NEW MUSIC: BEI MAEJOR FT. KERI HILSON - GAMEZ

Bei Maejor and Keri Hilson team up to create this catchy love song called "Gamez". Appropriately titled for the Nintendo video game samples. Keep your eyes and ears open for Bei Maejor's coming album release titled, uʍop ǝpısdn (Upside Down). Check out this single. It's growing on me. =)

POOR POOR FOXY!


Don't get me wrong, I used to LOOVVEEE Foxy Brown. #TeamDarkSkin. Lately, she and Kim have been throwing us all for a loop. Foxy Brown performed this past Sunday at B.B. King's Blues Club in Times Square and had the support of all on-watchers in attendance. She dished out every hit she had and was joined by Spragga Benz, Cormega,a dn AZ for "Oh Yeah". If only she could've perfected her attire for the evening (and her body for that matter)....vid below.


Her performance comes after her arrest last week for allegedly violating a protection order placed against her by the victim of the infamous "BlackBerry debacle". During her performance she stated, "you can't keep a good b*tch down". Ummm...they can....in jail. LOL....Good luck to her.

lOVING lINGERIE!

Nothing makes a woman feel more like a woman than lingerie! Well, in my opinion...

I've strayed a little from my reports on fashion (mostly because my interest in the topic is dwindling)....but I found a few really unique lingerie brands in today's Women's Wear Daily. Perfect styles for the busty, hippy, or lack thereof. Jenna Leigh is among my fave. Ladies, check out more below and guys, grab a pen...

LIL KIM COLLABS

The HBIC is BACK!!! ....Or so she thinks. Lil Kim recently reported that her next album will include collaborations with Keri Hilson and Dr. Dre.

In the midst of the collabs, there have been reports that Kim will sign with Jay-Z's Roc Nation label. While there is still no confirmation of this merge, the Queen B had this to say....
“Jay-Z’s awesome and him and I have collaborated numerous times, and we’ve always talked about how great it would be when we team up together, so that’s just a wonderful place to be for any artist and especially for me.”
I'd love to know if that's fact or fiction. In the meantime, listen out for Kim-collabs with Timberland, Detail, and Wyclef Jean.

She's coming for Nicki. #justsayin.

NOTE: No date has been set for Kim's upcoming album release.
