Alternative Pick: Bobby V Ft. Lil Wayne “Mirror”

[ahh_audio src=/5-30-12/BobbyVLilWayne-Mirror.mp3]

Remember Bad Boy Records’ Cheri Dennis? She’s Got A New Name and New Song…and It’s Dope!

Remember Cheri Dennis? Of course you do. Formerly one (of many) very talented Bad Boy Records artists that just never seemed to get the push they deserved. In 2008, Cheri released her debut album In And Out of Love, with its Ryan Leslie-produced leading single, “I Love You”, featuring Yung Joc and Jim Jones, and then sort of faded to black.

Well – that’s behind her now. Cheri Coke (her new name) and Melo X just released her latest work, “The Garden of Eden”, a song that will appear on her upcoming project, X/Coke.

Slightly a different twist from what we’re used to hearing from Cheri, it’s perfect for R&B lovers who have swayed to the likes of newbies such as Frank Ocean and The Weeknd.

It’s not the same, though. Cheri’s coined it: “Nu Wave Trill Sex.”

Check out some behind-the-scenes footage of Cheri & Melo X working the new music:

X/COKE will be available for free download on Tuesday, June 19.

“Cashin Out” Producer DJ Spinz Talks Radio Success; Explains Term ‘Keisha’

(AllHipHop News) Every summer, radio personnel and record label executives alike are looking for that breakthrough summer song to heat up the airwaves.

Early on, as this summer gets under way, radio stations nationwide are playing the Atlanta-born record, “Cashin Out” by rapper Cash Out, and produced by none other than DJ Spinz.

While Hip-Hop fans may still be getting used to Cash Out, they have already embraced the music of DJ Spinz over the last year, as Spinz has been responsible for the popular songs “Riot” by 2 Chainz and “Ring, Ring,” a Future and Rick Ross collaboration featured on Rick Ross’ Rich Forever mixtape.

AllHipHop.com caught up with the 23-year- old producer and radio DJ to find out the story behind the hit song, “Cashin Out”, and how the two came up with the hook and song.

“‘Keisha’ is another term for loud, as we would call it, or good weed. ‘Nina,’ you know, that’s a 9 millimeter, and ‘Cashin Out’ really speaks for itself. Me and Cash Out, we got in the studio in November, and we were going through a couple of records. He gave me the hook, I fit it around what he said, and it turned out to be crazy,” DJ Spinz told AllHipHop.com.

In popular Hip-Hop fashion, the remix was released last week and features Fabolous, Young Jeezy, Akon, and Yo Gotti – all artists that Cash Out and DJ Spinz hand-picked.

“We wanted to get each person for different reasons. We got Akon because he is a huge international artist, and Akon is one of my favorite artists of all time. Jeezy because he is a legend. Fab reached out and jumped on, and [Yo] Gotti, those were the best verses we heard, and I thought it would be a good balance because it’s not too heavy in one spectrum,” DJ Spinz explained.

While Spinz is new to the game in many people’s eyes, he actually has been working his hand in music for nearly a decade.

“I’ve been DJing since I was 14, and I got into radio back in Augusta, Georgia, my hometown, back when I was 16. So I started doing a music a while ago, and I really started making beats when I got to college,” DJ Spinz said.

Spinz has been busy on the heels of the “Cashin Out” success, as he has work with Big Sean, Waka Flocka, Travis Porter, Roscoe Dash, Future, 2 Chainz, and several others artists on the cusp of release.

“Me and Future did some more work, me and 2 Chainz, me and Waka Flocka did that “Rooster in my Rari” track and Rich Kids who just got a deal, work with Kid Ink, just continuing to make this quality sh*t. Also, me and Gucci got a record that features Fab as well; that’s co-produced by my homie, C4. That’s called “Makes No Sense”,” an excited DJ Spinz told AllHipHop.com

DJ Spinz, who was mentored by DJ Scream, can be heard on HoodRich Radio on Atlanta’s Hot 107.9 on Tuesdays and Fridays, as well as Sirius XM’s Hoodrich Radio with DJ Scream and Cory B.

Signs The World Is Coming To An End: “The New AIDS”

Signs The World Is Coming To An End: “The New AIDS”

Just when you thought it was safe and Magic Johnson had some magic medicine for your johnson, there is apparently a new form of AIDS emerging. This time, we’re lucky! This isn’t a sexually transmitted disease! This disease is transmitted via some form of parasite and they are calling it “The New AIDS of the Americas.” JUST GREAT! The reason for this is because the early symptoms of the disease are very similar to AIDS/HIV. Chagas Disease disease is considered a neglected disease and very much overlooked. LIKE AIDS? Yep.

 

Anyway, out is very much like AIDS in that the symptoms take years to emerge and is transferred from trypanosomes, some damn murderous parasite that was probably created by the government to control the population since the real AIDS has slowed up. But, over 300,000 people have this affliction and poor people are getting hit the hardest. Sound familiar? Yep. Read more on it here:


This real or fake?

BET CONFIRM TERRENCE AND ROCSI CONFIRM LEAVING 106 & PARK”

Here is the statement to confirm what we have already known.

“Today, after seven exciting years, 106 & Park hosts Terrence J and Rocsi announced that they will be leaving the show. It is no secret that there are a number of opportunities coming their way and we’re fortunate that they’ve been with 106 & Park for so long. They will be staying on the show for a while, so that we can have a ‘victory lap’ — a celebration of their years at the helm of 106 & Park — before their departure. Terrence J and Rocsi are destined for great success and we at BET Networks will always take pride in being their original home — and be a place where I hope they’ll always feel welcome.”

These two know something we don’t well. Terrence J does and I suspect with the Eddie Murphy rumors swirling, Rocs does too.
