SLEIGH BELLS| The Right Noise
After hearing just one song created by pop duo Sleigh Bells, I was HOOKED. It was something about the way that their signature bass-heavy sound perfectly matched the irresistibly playful melodies.
Though their debut album, Treats, has been out for more over seven months, the group are slowly making their way through the mainstream, with major support from Rolling Stone, MTV and even TV show “Gossip Girl.” With their raw originality and distinctive style, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Sleigh Bells go on to become one of the top breakout artists of 2011.
Angel Haze Does Nicki Minaj’s “Roman’s Revenge”
Yesterday, my lovely sister brought California rapper Angel Haze‘s version of “Roman’s Revenge” to my attention and I definitely impressed. With all of the success that Nicki Minaj has had thus far, many anticipate the possible revival of female presence in hip-hop.
Could Angel Haze be the next female MC in line? More importantly, who’s “Roman’s Revenge” is best?
Her flow at the :55 mark cannot be denied…

SCREAM & SHOUT
Been running in place for such a long time
Stuck in a race in the wrong line
When it all came down on me
And I haven’t had faith for such a long time
Am I outta place or out of my mind?
Should it all fall down on me
Its not enough to live so just dream
Its not enough to live so just dream
Its not enough to live so just dream
Its not enough to sing so just scream
-Kelis, “Scream”
Its not enough to live so just dream
Its not enough to live so just dream
Its not enough to sing so just scream

Erykah Badu Speaks On Lauryn Hill…
On one of my random Google quests, I came across an interview that Erykah Badu had with Okayplayer back in 2007. While any interview with Ms. Badu is worth reading, the most striking portion of the conversation was her thoughts on fellow legend Lauryn Hill and her alleged mental instabilities as perpetuated by the media.
Ms. Badu’s insight cannot be defined as anything else but A MUST-READ.
MODEL MUSE
Model Arlenis Sosa looks all types of perfect here. I never understand why models whom have access to the best clothes on earth look less than desirable sometimes. A model should always look like one in my humble opinion.

ADELE| OUR GREATEST ARTIST
One of the greatest artists EVER. Hands-down, talent-proven, superior-songstress of our time. She makes love to my ears with her voice, envelops my heart with her lyrics. We often throw the word “artist” and “talent” around for some strange reason in the world of music; however, this lady has infinite artistry and infinite talent.
There’s more to come…

BACK TO LIFE
I might as well be up front with it. I pretty much worship the ground that this woman walks on. And this photo explains the reason why. Even in a moment captured by camera, Ms. Hill’s commanding presence and spirit bursts through.
All hail…
