Nicki Minaj - "Moment 4 Life" ft. Drake [Video]

 
If you missed Nicki Minaj's video premiere of "Moment 4 Life" on MTV tonight, don't worry I have it right here for you.  The video is very cinematic, a song turned into a short film. I'm exaggerating a little, but it's a fairy tale come true.  Nicki and Drizzy Drake really would make a great couple.  If you haven't already bought My Pink Friday, it's available in stores, iTunes, and Amazon.com.  I know dudes who bought the album, it goes hard.  Enjoy.

He said that there is two songs yet to be finished and wouldn't say who were the featured artists on the album, just that it's a surprise. Can't wait to hear C4, WELCOME BACK WAYNE!!

Bonney Runway Gettin It In


After many successful mixtapes, such as A Place Called Stardom, and hit singles, like "Put Me in the Pocket," tabi Bonney wanted to further his influence on the game. His new album Fresh is exactly what it is titled. His fresh voice; funky, but always catchy beats; and hooks are quickly launching him to the top. Some of the tracks off the album are "Make A Killin", "Radio", and "Go Away", as well as a couple of tracks off A Place Called Stardom, makes the new album, Fresh, a definite seller. tabi's friends: Dame Dash, Curren$y, Haziq-Ali, and Wale, to name a few, are supporting his music. The future is looking very bright for this young, strong-minded entrepreneur. I recently chatted with tabi on Facebook and asked him how to purchase his music, especially, if you don't live around the D.C. area. He told me that you can purchase any of his music on iTunes or from Amazon.com. I am really looking forward to the future of this young, fresh artist. If you have any change in your pocket, I promise you this album is worth every penny.

Its Time to Catch Up with the Independent Side of Music



Download: Nesby Phips - The Catch Up (Mixtape)
After Nesby Phips has made appearances in such songs as "Prioritize" ft. Curren$y & "Supply" ft. Wiz Khalifa in 2010, Nesby is making big noise already in 2011 with his mixtape, The Catch Up. Even though these songs will be featured on the mixtape, Ive been waiting on his new mixtape for a while and to see it finally come together is very exciting. The mixtape has a nice classic, but an urban sound, a very unique and creative way to sell music. I feel that anyone that enjoys kicking back and listening to a different side of hip-hop, a more grown up sound, would enjoy this mixtape!! The links for the download is from http://jetsfool.blogspot.com (Main Source), but if you want to support Nesby Phips, you can download it via his BandCamp account, link posted below. Enjoy.

Ace Hood - "Hustle Hard Remix" ft. Lil Wayne & Rick Ross (Produced by Lex Luger)



NO DJ on this one. ENJOY!

Righchus - Sweetgrass & Supras hosted by DJ ill Will [EP]



Download: Righchus - Sweetgrass & Supras hosted by DJ Ill Will


Before I tell you to download Righchus' EP, Sweetgrass & Supras, hosted by DJ Ill Will, I want to say that many people have seen Righchus grow as an artist these past few years.  As Charleston saw Righchus' album artwork of his first LP Chaos Theory, downtown Charleston, many people have Google the named and check out his work.  For many other Carolinians as well as myself, we have seen his growth through his music live on stage.  Righchus has opened for many artists, such as Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Curren$y, and Wiz Khalifa, just to name a few.  The lively artist has a distinct sound for a Charlestonian.   As many may say African Americans from Charleston are "Geechee" and are with the "Mix" movement, Righchus brings a sound that sets him out from the rest and makes him unique.  When I hear Righchus flow, I swear up and down he's from the Midwest, he almost sounds like a young Lupe Fiasco.  (Forgive me Righchus, I know artists hate being compared to other artists.) Don't let him fool you though.  Righchus, 22 years young, he spits like he's been living life 10 years passed his youth.  Now I tell you to download Righchus' EP, Sweetgrass & Supras, produced by Max "Benjamin" Berry.  The question is can you handle his lyricism?  Review coming soon.

Lupe Fiasco - "Words I Never Said" [Video Teaser]



Lupe Fiasco will be dropping a single, "Words I Never Said" on February 1, 2011, off his upcoming album Lasers, which is due March 8, 2011.  Watch these teaser for his upcoming controversial single "Words I Never Said."  There are many subliminal messages as well as visual aid.  This teaser made me think twice of my own thoughts.  

Fiend/International Jones - "James Bond Benz" [Official Video]



This is the official video for "James Bond Benz" off of Fiend/International Jones' latest mixtape Tennis Shoes and Tuxedos.  If you haven't already downloaded the tape, there's a link on a previous blog entry on FreakyTalks.com .

Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa - "That Good" [Video]



You can say "Cheech and Chong" were higher than a mug for this video "That Good".  Snoop's music lives on generation to generation.  I hope there will be more collaborations between Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa.  "No sticks, no seeds, just Al Green."

Lil Wayne is Twitterless


Yesterday, Lil Wayne's Twitter account, @LilTunechi,  got hacked.  In seconds, we saw his name got changed to @LilChinetu.  Then another account got created as @LilTunechi as a "backup" account.  A few hours later Twitter changes it back to what it was before it was hacked, and suspends the account.  Then all these new Twitter accounts are being created and impersonating Wayne.  But behind all this there were some very interesting tweets.  Any truth behind them?  But in all the chaos, Lil Twist tweets that Wayne is no longer tweeting.  But did some hackers honestly think that they would be able to get views and followers on another account, so someone can view their music or pages they wanted to promote?  The spotlight has dimmed on them, well until the next celebrity hacking occurs.
