Cherlise - Ground Zero [New Mixtape]

Before today, I'd never heard of Division 1 songstress Cherlise. Clearly, I've been sleeping because I'm only a few tracks in, and I'm digging what the Miami singer is bringing to the table.  Check out her new mixtape Groundzero after the jump, which features Fat Joe, Lil Wayne, the boss Rico Love, and more!

As a little collateral, check out the standout track "Love U Right" before downloading the tape!

Q Da Kid - It Was All A Dream ft. Dondria (MLK Edition)

So So Def recording artists Q Da Kid and Dondria are using this Martin Luther King Day to make a statement about how life is a huge learning experience that requires you to have a dream and live towards it.

“As we honor Dr. Martin Luther who stated "I HAVE DREAM," I think this is the perfect song to honor his life, his beliefs, that went from a dream to reality. Thanks to him, us as African Americans have a broader voice . Let's celebrate on this day.          -Q Da Kid

Lil Kim Disses Drake After Dancing To "The Motto" [VIDEO]

Sigh...

I grew up on Lil Kim and I love a lot of her music.  But whyyyyyyy, Lawd whyyyy, can't she just focus on what made her famous instead of trying to get a few minutes of newfound fame by continuing to harass Young Money.  Clearly, they don't care.

During a recent show in Tampa, Kim performed her hits "Lighters Up" and "Magic Stick," but took a break to twerk to Drake's "The Motto," right before calling him a "bitch a** ni**a." So you pop it to his verse and then diss? Oh, okay.



I give this a big o_O.  Send me your thoughts by hitting me up on Facebook and Twitter!
