Too Fast For Y'all?
Neptunes Stans (such as myself) will be delighted to learn that the new Fast & Furious soundtrack contains 7 brand new tracks produced by Pharrell & Chad. Loving what I've heard so far.
It sounds like vintage Neptunes. Good to have you back boys.
Fam-Lay - Head Bust
Busta Rhymes - Sh Ya G-Stro

Ash's Back!
This man is unstoppable. Apparently he stole the show this year at SXSW. Jealous of anyone that got to go!
We could be looking at one of the album's of the year with this LP. Rap or otherwise.
Asher Roth - Lark On My Go-Kart
WE HATTEEEEEE WAGS!!
The mighty Alex Sim-Wise returns with the best night out in London: We H8 Wags. If you missed the last one, you are a loser. But, it's ok, you're forgiven if you get your backside down to the Library (the club, not the actual library, you tool).
This Friday We H8 Wags returns. The night is gonna be jam packed with dope DJing from Sim-Wise herself, the hottest girl on planet Earth aka Vikki Blows, Team Wolf & The Decimals.
They'll be a performance by these guys:

Sam, I Am
After seeing her plastered all over the tabloids regularly, some people may wonder what it is Lindsay Lohan's girlfriend actually does.
Apart from being an awesome DJ (far better than brother Mark), she is also a singer/song writer & former member of Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella crew. Her single "Built This Way" can be heard in the movie Mean Girls.
Now you know :)
Samantha Ronson - Pull My Hair Out
Jay-Z - 99 Problems (Mark Ronson Remix Featuring Samantha Ronson)

Westside Jam?
This track leaked over the weekend & the rumours have been spreading ever since. Is it a remix? A mash-up? Isn't it supposed to be for a mixtape? Isn't it on the 12'' of Eastern Jam?
Snoop Dogg has confirmed, that not only is this official, it's the first single from his groundbreaking new album Malice In Wonderland, which will see him become the first artist to release an album through MTV.
Chase & Status added additional production to this track just for Snoop. It'll be interesting to see how well this does Stateside.
Snoop Dogg - Snoop Dogg Millionaire (ft Tanvi Shah)
Flyer Than The Rest, Still Got My Nike Boots...
Finally, Wale gets an official single release! The beat is a nice production by Cool & Dre and although I don't think it's amazing, it has a very smart choice of sample. Plus, it features Lady Gaga, so that's another new video for her to roll around half naked in. No bad thing.
Wale - Chillin (feat. Lady Gaga)

Pitbull's A Bastard
After a long, seemingly self imposed exile, Miami rapper Pitbull returns with a banger. This is trademark Pharrell & Chad. But, will it be enough to get him back the place he once held in rap musics commercial elite?
Pitbull- Blanco (ft Pharell Williams)

Can I Have It Like That?
Just thought y'all might wana know about The Neptunes mixtape I'm working on. Features Busta Rhymes, MC Myst, Naledge from Kidz In The Hall & Grafh to name a few. There's def gonna be a few surprises on it.
Super-Hero B Vs. Skateboard P will be out later this year on Raw Riddim/Star Trak. Preview a couple of tracks here:
B.B. Manik- Wanna Luv U (Featuring Robin Thicke, Busta Rhymes, MC Myst & Pharrell Williams)
B.B. Manik- We The Illest (Featuring Grafh)
Baby I Like It Raw
You already know Raw Riddim is the illest crew around. We have a new mixtape on the way, but for now, enjoy some freebies:
Curtis Khan- Doin' My Thing
MC Myst- Kiss OF Death (Featuring Bless & Chemikill)
Freezi- Battle Riddim
Jai Michele- Skully [Produced by Just Blaze]
will.is.who?
Due to his overly commercial output as of late, will.i.am has been getting some slack recently. But, people tend to forget that he's been around since the days of Eazy E & that he was responsible for the last good thing Nas has done in ages.
Sure Fergie's album was rubbish. As was the last Black Eyed Peas CD. & the Michael Jackson one.
But, his production for The Game, Nas & Busta Rhymes to name a few has been incredible. All 3 of his solo albums contain some of the most innovative, genre-bending material to be created in a long time. So, far as I'm concerned, will.i.am is the shit.
will.i.am- American Boy
Chamillionaire- Hip-Hop Warning [Produced by will.i.am]

Who's That Girl?
1. Who are you & what do you do?
I`m Wren and I get naked on the internet :p
2. You're one of the world famous Godsgirls. Who's your fave GG & why?
Wowwwwwwwww thats a tough one!! I can`t choose just one and to narrow it down I am gonna pick from girls who are still active on the site (aka still write journals) and love on our members! I have to go with a top two:
Veronica- Because she is the reason I wanted to become a gods girl in the first place and she has some of my fave sets on the site. And to top it off we are in love lol
Linden- Linden to me is the essence of Gods Girls. Shes rad, out going, GORGEOUS, and quirky...
On gods girls we love on all different kinds of beauty but to me these two are the tops <3
This blog revolves around comics, music & fashion, so:
3. If you could have a super power, what would it be?
Time and space travel cause I am the most impatient human on earth!
4. What's your favourite clothes company?
Uhhhg thats a tough one too!! Wrennie had a really sick shopping addiction... But I would have to say I really lean more towards the vintage and second hand finds. T-shirt wise I would have to say www.alumninyc.net. They make magical shirts that I get stoked on not to mention the creator is my best friend on earth!
5. Which new music act(s) are you into at the moment?
At the moment I am super into Owl City and She and Him. If you guys haven`t heard any of [their work], you have to check it out!

Give It Some Front
A lot of people ask me to keep them updated on the status of Raw Riddim & what the artists are up to. So, all this week, I will be keeping you in the loop. Triple R recording artist Explodin Kittinz can be seen in this month's Front. The Canadian Riddim repper models for one of the main stories in this months issue, so go & pick it up in stores now!
She's also got some tracks on the way, so keep your eyes peeled!
Explodin Kittinz- Way Back When
Explodin Kittinz- Fameless [Produced By Myst]
Disney Punk
MTV reports that the much delayed, much anticipated follow to Tron is finally going ahead. Not only that, but musical legends Daft Punk are to provide the score!
Could this be Disney finally getting their act together & once again making quality films? We shall wait & see...
Teriyaki Boyz- Heartbreaker [Produced by Daft Punk]
B.B. Manik & MC Myst- Face 2 Face [Produced by Daft Punk]
B.B. Manik- Robot Rock Freestyle [Produced by Daft Punk]
Aint No Party Like An Adidas Party
I do despise commercials where they try & make the brand look all "fun" & "cool", but damn if this doesn't look like the most fun party on Earth.
You could play some poker with Jeezy, have a chat with Beckham, try & get off with Katy Perry & when that didn't work, you could go & fondle her out of Ting Tings.
Radio Killa Strike Again! (Part 2)
The-Dream is on fire. Another dope video for one of the best tunes of the mo. The album is out tomorrow in America. It's already out in the UK, so go to HMV & buy 10 copies!!

Radio Killa Strike Again!
Apparently The-Dream's new album comes out tomorrow. I haven't seen anything to support Def Jam's claims, but if you do happen to see it in your local record store, do purchase it & support the cause of good music.
The-Dream - Mr. Yeah

Who Is The Furtado Clone?
A new "Nelly Furtado" track has been doing the rounds recently, with the info attached claiming it was produced by Timbaland & Danja. Listening to the track, it certainly sounds the part, but apparently it's a fake.
From the horse's mouth:
"Hi, Nelly Furtado here.
I wanted to inform you officially that the song "Gotta Know" is NOT my song, and does NOT have my voice on it.
I don't know who's song it is! Please spread the word.
I am currently recording two new exciting albums- one in Spanish and one in Portuguese. Stay tuned and I will give you a sneak peak really soon.
Thanks for all the love and support. Stay tuned for some other music-related news really soon.”
Have a listen for yourself & see what you think:
Some Girl - I Gotta Know

The Dirty Stank boys touch down to the Big Dawg's show & bless the mic. Some of the best bars I've heard from Diz in a minute.

2 of my fave MCs (Meth is in my top 5) return to bless the mic with a taster of their new album BlackOut1 2

What Ever Happened To?...
Unklejam
I don't know why, but I started thinking about these dudes today. Remember how they nearly had a number 1?
Then their album allegedly came out in 2008, but I'll be damned if I remember seeing it on a shop shelf.
Anyway, they were decent. Shame they disappeared.
Unklejam- You're Welcome (Stop On By)
Marshall Who?
You've gotta hand it to Asher Roth. Rather than let the Eminem comparisons get him down, he just gets on with it & records dope music. This track is produced by Don Cannon & is another banger (of course!).
Look for Roth to pretty much own this year as the press jumps on his d*ck like no ones business & bloggers go even more crazy for him than they have already.
09-Year of The Roth?
Asher Roth- Silly Boy
