Jay-Z - Glory feat. Blue Ivy Carter [Prod. by Pharrell]

Yesterday, Beyonce gave birth to her and Jay-Z's first daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. After having the pregnancy announced during a VMA performance, trending on Twitter for over a day since being born, and NOW having a song with her vocals on it at one day old, this baby's got one hell of an entrance to the world.

Jay-Z wasted no time to dedicate a song to his baby girl Blue Ivy, and I think it's just precious.  When's the album coming out tho Blue?

Timbaland - E! True Hollywood Story [Full Episode]

Growing up in South Carolina and North Carolina, Pharrell and Timbaland were my two favorite musicians.  I was obsessed with Timbalands beats and I would buy his Timbaland & Magoo albums along with all of the Missy, Aaliyah, Ginuwine, Playa, and Nicole Wray singles that he produced.

Along the years, my admiration for Timbaland faded away due to many substantial allegations that he was  stealing beats from overseas, and it made me question how much of his legacy is truly his.  Now, I realize that whatever his involvement, he's still a genius who has impacted music in multiple genres for the better.  In the latest episode of E!'s True Hollywood Story, he doesn't hold anything back.

New Music: Pusha T - Raid (Final Version) ft. 50 Cent & Pharrell

"Raid" first dropped on Pusha T's Fear of God mixtape, and it was one of my favorites from the project. It gives me that The Clipse feel accompanied by a catchy Pharrel hook and Neptunes beat, and it features the 50 Cent that I've been missing.


Fear of God II: Let Us Pray will drop on Tuesday, and a final version of "Raid" has been included.  Check it out, and make sure you're back here on the 8th for the full EP download!

New Music Video: N.O.R.E. - Finito f/ Pharrell & Lil Wayne

From childhood on, I learned many valuable lessons. One of them was this: A N.O.R.E. - Pharrell song is a guaranteed hit.  I used to run around the house singing "Superthug" shouting "What, what, what, what , what, what, what!" at my big sister; but I digress.  The two are back with Lil Wayne with their new track "Finito." Check out the video below!

T.I.'s Out of Jail!

T.I.P. is out of jail today and is serving the rest of his time in a halfway house.  I really hope that he stays out of this trouble and starts making the type of music I grew up to.  I mean, his last album wasn't as terrible as T.I. vs. T.I.P., but I would love to hear classic T.I.  In a recent letter he wrote, T.I. claims to do just that.

Salute T.I. by listening to your favorite tracks from him today and hit the jump to hear one of my favorite tracks from the Bankhead representer.
