ain’t nothing like it
• Our girl Jill, and by all means The Real Thing, is back with a brand new album in stores TODAY. Homegirl is so saixy in the album liner and of course no one catch match her style, swagger, and insanely sultry sound. Are you impressed once again? You better pick that up, and the deluxe version at that.

• After months of rumors and chatter about THREE new albums in the chamber, we have confirmed the latest that eryKAH BAdu is about to officially announce the release of the first project titled KAHBA, which to Muslim’s means “black house,” also known as Mecca (thanks Aamir). We hope to be getting a single (and video?) in the next few months but the album is not slated to drop until next year. Stay tuned.

• OKP BKyle reports that Common shot the FOURTH video off Finding Forever for the track “I Want You” in L.A. this past Sunday. Common tapped veteran director Sanji. Read B’s post for all the details.

• According to XXL Mag, Mos Def is not happy with the response the Hip-Hop community has shown over the “Jena 6” incident.” Get more here.

• Skillz has posted up in his tour diary after the Hip Hop Honors Tour made a two night stand at the House of Blues in Chicago over the weekend. This is a unique show on a one of a kind tour so best buy your tickets.

• Props to our boy DJ Babu who’s beat and cuts set the soundtrack to the intro of the trailer video for Jay-Z’s new song “Blue Magic.” It’s HOV!

• 3 Interviews. Blender Magazine just posted a new interview with Kanye West. Thanks to Aaron for the heads up. We just posted two new of our own in depth interviews with Mr. J Medeiros and Panacea.
