L.A. Reid Unveils Spring Collection

L.A. Reid unveiled Island Def Jam’s Spring Collection in New York City. Reid introduced a slew of new acts including Jeremih (Birthday Sex fame), Kristinia Debarge, and Usher’s new artist Justin Bieber. But the big star of the night was Rihanna. She was presented with a platinum plaque for selling 12 million records since her debut abum Music Of The Sun. Some people can say what they want about Rihanna being a “talent-less non singer” but this chick has no doubt been on major grind mode. She has done what most acts DREAM of doing in a short span of 3-4 years. Not to mention the fact that she has the fashion game on smash! Reid also debuted new videos by Kayne West and Rihanna for “Paranoid” and The Dream’s “Walking On The Moon” which also features Kayne West. As a bonus, Reid played a new Mariah Carey song off her Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel album titled “H-A-T-E U”. I gotta say, I’m surprised at how fast Mariah’s new album is being made. Then again, she was known for having a new album every year, so I guess this is nothing new, huh? I'm very surprised to see that Amerie was present. I was SOO under the impression that she got dropped form the label a while back.
