Tosh Alexander, named after her mother’s favorite singer Peter Tosh, is as unique as the name that she was given. True to her Jamaican heritage, she honed in and combined the spirit of the Caribbean people and the soul of the American city effortlessly through her music. When she sings it’s not hard to get lost in every note that leaves her lips. Sometimes playful, sometimes soulful but always pitch perfect, without comparison Tosh is in a class all by herself, with a sound of her own.
Alexander has teamed up with the production talents of Tony Kelly, Brian Stanley and Cool & Dre. She’s putting the finishing touches on her debut album. This singer songwriter is poised to change the game and bring true vocal ability back into the limelight. The ever-so graceful songstress premiered the visual to her new breathtaking single “Right On Time” on MTV Jams. Directed by the famed Jon Vulpine, the visual was filmed in a chic, modernized three-story mansion on the shores of Miami Beach. Alexander wows her first-time audience in several Caribbean looks to accent her Jamaican heritage.
“The video really projects my perception of being in love,” gushed Alexander. “It feels easy with more simplistic, natural looks. Less was definitely more.” She continued: “Because I’ve spent a lot of time in Miami, I had to celebrate its beautiful culture, color and consciousness of love.”
With a mix of Dancehall and R&B, Alexander intertwines her island roots with her new found heritage on the coastal breeze. Defining this moment with gratitude and a continued work ethic, she puts her best foot forward on the way to entertainment success. Check out the video for her single “Right on Time” below!

Damn. These dudes really define frenemies. I thought they were boys, but its seems like they are not. Stevie J has images of Benzino’s Ex in a compromised position of sex and proceed to leak them. And Zino went off. Maybe they are boys. I dunno. Nevertheless, some people are saying that they are only beefing to keep their jobs on “Love & Hip-Hop” and that this is as manufactured as a Barbie doll.

Is Hollow Da Don trolling the internet? I saw the battle and he took some shots at Paul Rosenberg and I think Jimmy Iovine as he went on to defeat Joe Budden in their highly publicized rap battle. Well the battle may have turned into a beef, because Hollow claims that Eminem is pissy mad at him for calling out his compadres. Now, on the flip, he did big up Eminem. Hollow seems to be inferring – on social media – that Eminem wants to jump back into the battle arena? I doubt it. I’m thinking we’ll probably see something else at the next Total Slaughter, but I’m wondering if Hollow gets invited back.

(AllHipHop News) If Reddit co-founder Aaron Schwartz is The Internet’s Own Boy, then Bobby Shmurda is Twitter’s Hot Ni**a. Today (July 15th), Shmurda appeared on Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club and spoke on the success of “Shmoney Dance”, being in the strip club with his mother and more.
During a 4th of July performance, Meek Mill brought out Shmurda to perform “Hot N*gga” at gentleman club King Of Diamonds in Miami. According to Shmurda, an unexpected guest arrived to the show and helped him get lap dances:
My mom was in [King of Diamond] with me. I’m like ‘Mom, what you doing in K.O.D? What you doing here?’ ‘I came to she show’…She flew down there. Yeah, throwing money, watching me getting lap dances and all types of stuff. I’m like ‘Ma, get out of here’.
Free items is almost a rite of passage for famous (and Twitter famous) people. Shmurda is no different and claims that a chef at an undisclosed Manhattan restaurant offered him his food for simply being “that kid just caught a body about a week ago”:
I was hungry. We were waling around. We came into the store. They were closing. I was like ‘hey, y’all ain’t got no food.’ He was like ‘hey, ain’t you that kid just caught a body bout a week ago?’ I was like ‘Yeah’.
Check out Bobby Shmurda’s full interview with Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club below:
I don’t know what the hell to make of this one. Now, you know Lifetime is now making replica movies and flicks for chicks. This latest foray is what I don’t know about. They are creating a Whitney movie and, I didn’t say a word. But now they have released the latest, which is a pic of Bobby AND Whitney. This part, I don’t know so much about.
What say you, Bobby?
“Don’t be cruel!”
Will we be able to “see” these two as Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown? Epic Win or Epic Fail?

(AllHipHop News) Pharrell claims it’s impossible for him to be a feminist but he’s all about equality of the genders…even on basketball video games. Today (July 15th) Pharrell was announced as the music curator of 2KSports’ upcoming NBA 2K15 and explains how the female influence will be hard to miss.
The music of the past two iterations of NBA 2K15 have been curated by Lebron James and Jay Z, having a predominately Hip Hop focus. According to Complex, Pharrell admits to not necessarily knowing what a crossover is or how to do one, Pharrell states that sports games are heavily influenced by females, even if they are simply spectating:
There are girls that play the game and there’s a lot of girls that are around it because their boyfriends play it or their friends play it. So I thought it’d be such an interesting twist to have the girls weigh in on the song list, because they’re the ones that listen to it, they listen to it just as much. So I was just trying to pick like an alternative approach, you know, because how do you follow up like LeBron and Jay?
Pharrell admits that on the cover of N.E.R.D’s debut album In Search Of, band member Shay was playing a basketball game. He later states that Lebron James leaving the Miami Heat to return home to the Cleveland Cavaliers hurt, but he understands the decision:
But I get it, you know, I understand. You know, that’s where he’s from. It’s always like a… coming home is a big thing for anyone. It’s going out and done it. You know, he went out and proved something.
No word on which songs will make the soundtrack or how many songs will be featured. NBA 2K15 is slated to be released on October 7th.

(AllHipHop News) In a recent interview with Mikey T The Movie Star, Bang ‘Em Smurf discusses how 50 Cent’s recent social media disses towards Sha Money XL are “corny” and why he is ok with Young Buck siding with G-Unit after his fallout with 50 Cent.
On June 19th, 50 Cent posted a photograph on his personal Instagram account blocking out Sha Money’s face and calling him “Soft” and that he will “always lose against me” in the photo’s caption. According to Bang Em Smutf, 50 Cent is “corny” for dissing a man whom was integral in the formation of 50 Cent’s early success:
Sha Money’s a good brother [that] put his life on the line for [50] as well. Just by rolling with him. Cause Sha Money ain’t no gangsta or none of that. He been an executive in this game for a minute. About his money. So, he actually put his life on the line by rolling with 50. You know what I mean? Did a lot of groundwork for 50. A lot of studio sessions with 50 pressed all the CD’s with G-Unit, for 50. He did a lot, so that was actually corny on 50’s behalf
Back in 2012, Smurf stated that him and Buck were still friends due to the fact that neither one of them disrespected each other during 50 Cent’s feud with Smurf. Buck and 50 engaged in a war of words back in 2008 after 50 Cent released a taped phone coversation between him and Young Buck. On the G-Unit song “Nah I’m Talking ‘Bout”, Buck enthusiastically proclaims “50 said we ain’t never going broke”, a claim Smurf can respect as a reason for Buck to reunite with G-Unit:
I spoke to [Young Buck] a few times. Buck a good one too. I always had love for Buck. But, you know, at the end of the day he had business with 50. So he going to ride with 50. I ain’t mad at that. I got love for Buck.
