Say Hello to T.I. and Bye to Lil Wayne (T.I. – I’m Back)

Chozen — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 12:13:30 +0000

T.I. is dropping a track Monday at 5 titled I’m Back and the question now is will he pick up where he left off?

It seems allot of readers have a IQ less than 30 so let me be clear, that title has nothing to do with comparing T.I to Lil Wayne, it was referring to T.I. being out of jail and Lil Wayne going into jail, SMH.

Dante – Square In a Circle (SIC)

Chozen — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 13:27:13 +0000

You might remember almost a year ago I posted a track called Walk Like I Talk It from Dante that was well received on the site, Square In a Circle is the mixtape I told you she was dropping. I’ve been sitting on this for quite some time but never got around to posting it because I get so many joints from so many artist who want me to feature there music. I never post half of them especially not from a female not because I’m biased but it’s because most of them suck but since she is signed to my boys label I decided to give it a listen and to my surprise it’s actually a good tape and she can spit.

Being that you can count the list of relevant female artists out on 1 hand, it’s rare that I find one with potential but I can say Dante definitely has potential.

“I Don’t Want To Be Jay-Z And Be Worth $400 Million”- Lupe Fiasco

Chozen — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 10:52:15 +0000

”There’s a misunderstanding with my fanbase,” he says. ”People [at Warner] feel they know my fans more than I do. They want me to step out of my comfort zone and step into theirs. I don’t have necessarily the celebrity success they want me to have but it’s more social success and being able to speak at a college about world affairs. That’s a success, to me.
”I don’t want to be Jay-Z and be worth $400 million and perform on every awards show. It’s getting in touch with somebody who needs to improve their self-esteem. As opposed to driving a Bentley and putting some chains on.”

I thought I’d take this opportunity to remind the rest of the world that Texas is still doing it big when it comes to music. Every artist on the song with me has independent hustle and strength in the streets. It’s an All Star song so what better place to shoot the video than All Star Weekend, right here in our own backyard.

Rihanna – Rude Boy Video

Chozen — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 10:16:55 +0000

Rihanna took it back to her roots in this one, I almost forgot she was West Indian. I noticed she’s been keeping up with all the latest Jamaican dances but what’s with the random “Bogle” dance in the middle of everything, that dance is almost as old as me, lol.

Says Rihanna

“completely different from any other video I’ve shot before. A lot of my videos are really dark and edgy and tough. ‘Rude Boy’ is more playing along the lines from my roots. We used a lot of color, but also the costumes were very Jamaican dance-hall queen type.”

Lil Wayne To Start Serving Year Jail Sentence Today

Chozen — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 18:54:32 +0000

Part of his plea deal was to not serve it in a state prison system, but in a city jail system like Rikers Island. The reporter said it could eventually be reduced to an 8 month sentence if he’s on good behavior.

8 months really isn’t that bad, He’ll be out before you know it.

Lil Wayne spent some last moments of freedom with friends last night at Dolce Ultralounge in Miami.
