Tyrese just dropped a new joint and this is what he had to say about it…
Tyrese – “Take Me Away”
As some of you may know. Sad but true I’ve been going through a nasty divorce I have no negative words to say about my X life goes on, sometimes love don’t work..True story..The very night after I filed for divorce I recorded a this song. Wasn’t gonna release it at all it was a PERSONAL record I felt Like the song helped me to get some closure from all that was going on..I have NEVER recorded a song like this and sorry but there is NO ALBUM in the works…[source]
I don’t want to come across heartless, because going through something like divorce isn’t easy – obviously. BUT, this song sucks? I mean, lyrically it’s clearly personal (which is commendable) but Tyrese has such a dope R&B voice – why does he (and so many other artists) back it up with some next Euro-pop beat & auto-tune? It makes no sense? Based on this song, I’m glad he’s focusing on his acting career rather than recording another album. Again – sorry if I sound cold – just reviewing the song.
…I still bump his debut album on a regular. It’s fu*king awesome!!!
Peace, Love & Tyrese

The Superthug stops by Power 106. Big Boy and Nore take shots at Perez Hilton and Nore runs into a familiar face. It’s deeper than rap!

The homie Rik Cordero has been nominated for “Video Director” of the year, which to me, isn’t much a of surprise – only because the guy is mad talented and has been producing some of the dopest videos around. He’s up against stiff competition from the likes of Hype Williams, Chris Robinson, Gil Green and Benny Boom – but with YOUR help, we can make sure he doesn’t walk away empty handed. All you gotta do is go HERE and vote for him!
Congratulations to Ric & the whole Three/21 Media crew!
Peace, Love & Ric Cordero

P.s Sorry for the lack of commentary today – been overly busy!

I’ve only been to one ILuvLive event (which I think is pretty sh*teous of me) and that was the one that Ms Dynamite headlined – it was such a heavi night! Their line up is always impressive and when I went the vibe was overly cool!
Anyways, it’s ILuvLive’s 5th birthday and to celebrate they’ve pulled out all the stops with one killer line up. Performers on the night include: Bashy, Baby J, Kele Le Roc, MJ Cole, Attacca Pesante, MPHO & PA’s from MJ Cole, K.I.G, Shysti, Maxwell D, Bring it Back & Gracious K. Damn. Can’t knock that hustle one bit!
The event, hosted by Ras Kwame & Twin B will be going down @ Sound in Leicester Square. Tickets cost £8 in advance (book HERE) & £12 on the door.
I highly recommend you be there. I will be.
Peace, Love & ILuvLive

Gutted. Literally, this messes up my life. Ergh! These things just can’t be avoided, so can’t be blaming the promoter, venue or artist. Sh*t happens. So, now I need to go change some things around (praying that’s possible) to ensure that I can make it next Tuesday!
Peace, Love & ______
