Ashanti Sings "Home" to Promote Her Broadway Debut in The Wiz


Real talk, even though she sounds a bit whiny on those high notes and she almost ran out of breath for the final note, this is the best I've ever heard Ashanti sing.

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.

TK Shows Off His Blue Supras



Mr TK Society himself has recently revealed yet another colorway of his very popular signature shoe. The shoe has already been seen in black, red and purple colorways, but this new blue edition is certainly a nice addition to the line. The shoes feature a butter soft royal blue suede with silver accents on the heel and blue accents on the white sole. There’s no word on their release, but they are certainly a color worth keeping your ear to the street for.
