Because I’m really a teenager at heart, I had way too much fun with this Dig or Dis quiz on Alloy. Check it out here! Thanks Deepa Shah for the linkie; a nice way to take an afternoon breakarino.

Young Jeezy talks Fela, the Nigerian-born musician and composer and inspiration behind the popular show Fela!. I love how he talks about being “taken to a different place” away from 808s and hi-hats. What a cultured young man. Do I sense dinner and Broadway date with Young Jizzle? Hmmm. Shout outs to GoodFellaRadio for the linkie.

Rapper T.I. returns! Per the rapper’s Twitter profile (@TIP) he will be making a comeback announcement today at 5pm ET. A new single? New post jail pics? We’ll find out soon enough. #Excited.

“I could teach you how to speak my language/ Rosetta Stone”… “I’m way too young to be feeling this old“. Drake’s highly-anticipated single “Over” is here. An introspective look at success, haters, and the industry. I like it! Thank the New Music Cartel for having the audio in record time and Twitter for sending it around the world in minutes.

Listen here

…and we have a trending topic!

Just a taste of Drizzy’s new single “Over” (produced by Boi-1da) from the upcoming Thank Me Later. The whole song drops at midnight tonight! *jumps up and down*

Must be a day of covers. NC rapper on-the-come-up and hottie J. Cole graces The Source magazine’s April issue. This will be his second cover in the same month. Talk about putting in that pr work!

Sidenote: is he wearing leather Mittenberry gloves?!

So classy and gorgeous. The seemingly ageless Sade graces the April cover of Ebony magazine. With the striking black hair and bright red lips, Sade might just be my makeup muse. *Swoon*

Last night the Blueprint 3 tour hit NYC with Jay-Z, Young, Jeezy, and Trey Songz. Greatest lineup ever or just my rapper fantasies come to life? Either way, Lil Wayne and Drizzy Drake hopped on stage for a surprise performance, making the night one to remember in NYC. Not surprisingly, controversy is already swirling around Drake’s set. Apparently the sexy muppet didn’t get the memo that Jay-Z wanted all artists to wear only black (so he could dub the show “blackstage” ) Call it his Canadian style, an homage to the Olympics, or maybe just his rebellious nature but the white on white tracksuit definitely made the Drizz stand out in a good way; I’ll never forget that white flash of deliciousness.

Shout outs to Jenn Yin who experienced the life-changing show with me. Michigan League stand up!

Drake goes against the grain in an all white number

Update: Drake ended up rocking all black at the show’s afterparty at the 40/40 Club.

Drake rocks the dress code

T.I. returns home from his jail stint and jumps on Twitter. The King of the South already has a Verified Account at @TIP. Follow him now. According to his profile, he has a big announcement on 3/8 at 5pm ET. Finally a glimpse into Tippers’ innermost thoughts. #Excited

The Cudster enjoyed some PDA from a very passionate male fan at a recent show. Scroll to 1:40 for the lip lock. Gotta respect dude’s determination. That’s how you snag a man!
