WHAT? Jhene Aiko Signs to Def Jam!?

Wow, looks like singer/songwriter Jhene Aiko has landed herself a record deal. She revealed the news via twitter by tweeting a photo of her and No I.D, Def Jam’s new VP of A&R, with her contract papers. The caption read: “Supriiiiiiiise …… Signed by Dion ! Merry Christmas!” She said she's actually signed to No I.D.'s label, which is distributed through Def Jam. Ironically, I was just talking about Jhene and the record deal dilemma. Although she now has major label backing, Jhene has stated time & time again that her goals have nothing to do with become famous.
I love making music that’s my main thing. I love making music for people to hear because I feel like I have something to say. If it takes me to winning a Grammy or being as popular as Lady Gaga, fine, but that’s not why I’m doing it. I want people to know that because there’s a difference when people are doing it for [fame] purposes. Like Lauryn Hill; I don’t think she set out to be as popular as she ended up being. But because it happened and she was so genuine with her music it turned into something even bigger.

Album Cover: Gone Wallace - "High Renaissance"




Yo, cuzzos! Here's the official cover for Gone Wallace's newest project, High Renaissance! The artwork was provided by the talented, domoarigato. Here are his comments on the artwork:

"Stricken with grief and rage at the untimely death of Splinter, Raphael seeks solitude in the deep sewers of New York City, neglecting any contact with his brothers. To keep his skills sharp and earn somewhat of a living, he engages in dangerous, high stake mutant street brawls. The self-destructive nature of his current living state has pushed him to the brink of insanity."

High Renaissance is coming very soon and we'll hit you with an official date in the near future. Just know it will be epic! Stay up!

Jay-Z Annouces That He Will Be First Solo Hip Hop Act To Perform At Carnegie Hall


In a press conference held earlier today with his Shawn Cater Scholarship Foundation and United Way, Jay-Z announced that he will play two solo shows at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Hov had this to say:

"Its every artists dream to play a venue as legendary as Carnegie Hall. The fact that I can use the arts and my talent to benefit the education of the next generation of artists, entrepreneurs, and great thinkers makes for a legendary night. I’m proud to be a part of the continuing work of United Way of New York City and expanding the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation.”

As for surprise guests? Jay said his new thing is not having any surprises, since these days, he said, "it's almost expected."  He added, "There's no guests on Watch the Throne, maybe no guests on this, and then the next time there are guests, you'll be surprised!"

Private ticket packages for Jay-Z's Carnegie Hall shows go on sale Monday, and a limited number of single tickets will be offered to the public on Monday, January 30.   Ticket prices will range from $2500 to $500 apiece, but there may be some lower-priced tickets released in January.  The goal, said organizers, is to raise as much money as possible

WOW! Guess Who's Replacing Stacey Dash on Single Ladies...

Vh1's hit show Single Ladies has found a replacement for Stacey Dash ... and it's super model/actress Denise Vasi!

Via Deadline:
Vasi will star opposite co-leads LisaRaye McCoy and Charity Shea. She fills a void left by the departure of Stacey Dash after the end of the first season. Vasi will play the new role of Raquel, a close friend of Keisha (McCoy) who is a savvy business woman from a prominent Southern family on a quest to discover passion. “Denise is the perfect addition to the Single Ladies cast,” Queen Latifah said. “She is bringing a fun, new element to the show.” Single Ladies, VH1′s first hour long scripted series, is a romantic comedy series about Keisha, Raquel and April (Shea) – best friends with different philosophies on love, sex and relationships, proving not all women have the same desires.
Stacey Dash left the show so she could spend more time with her family.. do you think Denise can fill her shoes?
