When Flo Rida found his niche, he definitely stuck with it. I can't hate since he seems to be getting PAID from all of the crossover tracks that dominate clubs and pop radio stations. Check out the music video for his latest single, "Good Feeling," which shows us what life is like to be Flo Rida.
Wale rapped over the classic Jay-Z Encore track "What More Can I Say"on his latest freestyle. The Roc Nation managed artist is working hard promoting his Maybach Music debut album, Ambition, which drops on November 1st. Preorder it here!
The moment I heard that Teedra Moses had a show in North Carolina, I made it up in my mind that I would drive however long it took to finally see her. After seven years of being in the bedroom, shower, school, and car singing her music, I finally got a chance to see her perform LIVE when she opened up the Homecoming Concert at Livingstone College. When I tell you she KILLED IT!!!!!...BOI!
What impressed me most was her immense appreciation for her fans, which is something you don't see a lot with artists today. She sang "Take Me" specifically for a diehard fan in the audience, invited another loyal fan onstage with her, and even made time to have a conversation with him after the show although she had a 6 AM plane to catch.
After seeing her perform live for myself, there's no doubt in my mind why Teedra is nicknamed "The Young
Lioness." It was clear as soon as the curtain opened and she gracefully
appeared onstage that she has the just the right amount of grace and ferocity that's needed to thrive in the sweltering jungle known as the music industry. Her voice sounded even better live than on her
recordings, and her love for her music and performing permeated through the entire auditorium. Now I completely understand that it was her confidence, ambition and talent that allowed Rick Ross to recognize that Maybach Music Group was in need of someone like Teedra Moses.
Watch below as she performs "Another Luvr" and "Be Your Girl" LIVE at Livingstone College!

I was first introduced to Hi Stakez at the A3C Festival when he gave an impressive freestyle during Enter The Cypher. What is more impressive is his work ethic-- this junior at The University of Houston still finds time to write music, record, travel, and promote just like any pro in the game.
In early 2012, Hi Stakez will be releasing his upcoming EP, Audiophile, which features the standout track "Make It Right." Check out the Anita Baker sampled track, which HiStakez produced himself, below!

T.I. took it home to BANKHEAAAAAD, Atlanta, GA for his video shoot for "I'm Flexin'," his announcement that he's officially returned to the game. It's clear that T.I. feels at home doing this, and he's hungry to be back on top this time around. Watch below to see what went down during the final day of the video shoot!
Here's a new leftover track from Philly and Division 1 representer, Young Chris. He's dropping The Revival with producer Cardiak on Halloween so get ready!
J. Cole adds a short, but clever verse to Mrs. Sean Carter's hit trackas he switches up his flow and spits another verse for the ladies. Hopefully there's still going to be a full G.O.O.D. Music Remix as well!
Beyoncé ft. J. Cole - Party (Remix)
Update: The video for "Party" will premiere on Tuesday, Oct. 25th! Make sure you catch it here on Gangstas Use Emoticons!!
Verse Simmonds lets 2 Chainz and Yo Gotti get their slick talk on as they join him and Kelly Rowland for the "Boo Thang" remix. Perfect for radio, and already stuck in my head.

See, songs like these are why I mess with 2Chainz. He linked up with Jadakiss for "One Day At A Time," which will be featured on his 11.1.11 mixtape T.R.U. REALigion. Hit the jump to watch his interview with The Breakfast Club this morning!
