Melanie Fiona - Gone (La Dada Di) ft. Snoop Dogg
Another offering from Melanie Fiona's The MF Life surfaces as the Canadian beauty sings a dark tale of losing her boyfriend on "Gone," which features the OG Snoop Dogg. This iTunes bonus cut will appear on the March 20th release of her sophomore LP, and I think it's definitely a good choice it's not a final cut for the album.

AMEX Sync Show: Jay-Z Live From SXSW [Full Concert]
Last night, YouTube live streamed Jay-Z's SXSW performance at Austin City Limits. I was in my room dancing and rapping along like I was there, and what I loved most about the show was his set list, which included some of my favorites like "Allure," "I Know," and "Heart Of The City."
What I found disappointing about the show was the complete lack of energy from the audience who only seemed to know the hook to his biggest hits. The Hip Hop shows haven't really gotten underway at SXSW so there was a noticeable absence of true fans. But if I was front row at a Jigga concert....
Anyways, Yardie recorded the live stream, which is key considering that YouTube doesn't allow you to watch it on your on terms. It just replays the stream over and over again. Parts 1 and 2 after the jump!
