Drake leaks new track for upcoming album ''Take Care''
Besides an MP3 download link, the post contained this message: "A song that I felt the need to share. Not my single. Just a piece of my story. Hear me out though..." Reportedly, "Dreams Money Can Buy" is Take Care's intro track. Drake's blog post was accompanied by an image with text that reads, "This is a story of dreams mixed with reality."
True to its title, the song is filled with quotables clearly taken from the pages of Drake's charmed rap life. In the first verse he muses on juggling different women and on how his success (Thank Me Later has been certified platinum) hasn't necessarily made his life any less stressful. "And comfortable I sit, in manual Ferrari Italian, some fly sh--/ But it's sitting at the house like I bought it in '96, 'cause honestly I'm too busy to drive stick," he raps.
In the second verse Drake addresses rival MCs and past rumors that he was on the outs with Lil Wayne and the YMCMB crew. "Can't tell ya how much I love when n---as think they got it/ And I love the fact that line made them think about it," Drake slickly spits at the beginning of the verse, followed by, "I am CMB, these n---as make it so hard to be friendly when I know part of it's envy."
Rap conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day speculating on whom Drake is possibly referring to with a "top five" line in the same verse. "I feel like lately it went from top five to remaining five, my favorite rappers either lost it or they ain't alive/ And they trying to bring us down, me Weezy and Stunna, we stayed up, Christmas lights in the middle of summer." One rapper Drake himself claims he is not referring to is Jay-Z. "Hov diss? Hov of all people has not lost it ... that's god body flow," Drake tweeted.
Drake's longtime collaborator Noah "40" Shebib produced the song's hauntingly ambient track, which features a prominent sample of British singer/songwriter Jai Paul's "BTSTU." A vocal swipe of "Don't f--- with me, don't f--- with me" from Paul's song is used as the hook for Drake's record.
The "Best I Ever Had" rapper had fallen back on recording after dropping his debut, Thank Me Later. But with talk of collaborating with the Weeknd, guesting on DJ Khaled's "I'm on One" with Lil Wayne and Rick Ross — essentially a Drake record — and now "Dreams Money Can Buy," the Toronto rapper's brief sabbatical is officially over.

Kray-Z- Young, Talented, Upcoming Star!!!
Ramon Pairman more popularly known as Kray-Z, his team G3 Musik and Vybesquad recently released the highly anticipated ‘Pull Up Dat’ mixtape. Kray-Z gave us the “Hustle for mine’ mixtape back in 2009 and now he has more than delivered on this new project. ‘Pull up dat’ starts with the mixtape’s title track where we are introduced Kray-Z’s production team G3 Musik and Vybesquad. This first track prepares us for Kray-Z’s dope metaphors and flow.
The ‘uptown artist’ touches on several topics; social issues, girls, partying and even the love for his hometown, Kingston. It’s definitely refreshing to hear something different from the typical Jamaican artiste. Even though Kray-Z has a rap flow, the authenticity of Dancehall and Reggae is still present in his music.

Movado- The Watch, The Artiste
Movado is a Swiss luxury watch company whose name is Esperanto for "continuous movement". Movado was founded in 1881 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland by Achilles Ditesheim. The company was purchased by arts enthusiast Gedalio Grinberg of New York in 1983; his son, Efraim Grinberg, is the current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Movado Group, Inc. The North American President of Movado and ESQ by Movado is Alan Chinich.
The company is known for its iconic Museum Watch which is defined by a single gold dot symbolizing the sun at high noon, the hands suggesting the movement of the earth. The original Museum Watch was the first wrist watch to be displayed at the Museum of Modern Art and was designed by the American designer Nathan George Horwitt in 1947. Edward Steichen, the renowned photographer and director of the photography department at New York's Museum of Modern Art, proclaimed Horwitt's design "the only truly original and beautiful one for such an object".
Movado commissioned the design and installation of "Time Sculpture". This unique clock sculpture was designed by world renowned architect Philip Johnson. It is located outside Lincoln Center in New York City. In 2006, Movado celebrated its 125th year of watchmaking.
Movado Group, Inc. designs, manufactures, and distributes Movado, Ebel, Concord, ESQ by Movado, Coach, Hugo Boss, Lacoste, Juicy Couture and Tommy Hilfiger watches worldwide.
Brooks was raised in an area known as "Cuba", a micro ghetto within the heart of Kingston, Jamaica's Cassava Piece community. His grandmother gave him his first musical experience at a young age, bringing him to church to sing[1]. He also cites the music of Bounty Killer as an early influence.
The boyhood idol became his mentor when at the age of 15, Bounty took him under his wing to show him the ropes of the music industry. He decided to name himself "Mavado" after the Swiss watch company Movado, altering the spelling.
His debut single, "Real McKoy" on the Anger Management riddim in 2004, provided him instant success. He further established himself with the follow-up record “Weh Dem a Do”, on the Red Bull & Guinness riddim. After a string of hits in 2005 and 2006, Mavado released the album Gangsta for Life: The Symphony of David Brooks July 10, 2007 on VP Records. "Whe Dem A Do" and "Dying", two singles from the album, were featured heavily on R&B/hip-hop radio in New York.
That same year brought Mavado off-stage controversy, as he was arrested and booked by Jamaican police on what was later revealed to be gun charges. While in police custody, the singer claims he was thrown into a glass window, losing three fingers in the process, which were reattached at a local hospital. Police claimed Mavado escaped from custody while at the hospital. The incident caused him to be refused entry into the United States a short time later. He was again arrested and charged with shooting with intent and illegal possession of firearm in relation to an event occurring July 27, 2007. He was later freed of all charges.
In March 2008, Mavado was featured performing a rendition of his song "Real McKoy" for Grand Theft Auto IV Trailer #4 "Everyone's a Rat". "Real McKoy", along with "Last Night" (both from the album Gangsta for Life), were also featured in the game on the radio station "Massive B Radio".
In November 2009, Mavado lost out to Sean Paul for the Best Reggae Artist award at Soul Train Music Awards. He won the 2010 EME award for Male Singjay of the Year.
In 2008 Mavado was given the prestigious UK MOBO Award for Best Reggae Act.
In April 2010, Mavado starred as a gangster in Drake's song Find Your Love for Drake's album Thank Me Later
Along with Bounty Killer, he has cited 2Pac as a childhood idol, comparing the late rapper's life to his own
Another young, talent dies!!!!!!!!!!!
Montae “M Bone” Talbert from group Cali Swag died last night after he was allegedly shot by gang members. TMZ.com reports that there are no details regarding the 22 years old death yet; but Mediatakeout.com reports ‘M Bone was with friends in Inglewood, California when he was approached by a group of men wearing BLUE clothing. The men attempted to rob M Bone, and his friends. And during the robbery – M Bone was shot and killed.’
Cali Swag is behind the mega-hit “Teach me How To Dougie.” Member, Smoove of Cali Swag tweeted “Ma life changed drastically in the. Blink of an eye rip mbone.”
R.I.P M Bone!
Details are sketchy but TMZ.com is now reporting:
M Bone was next to his car in front of an Inglewood, CA liquor store at 11:32 PM Sunday when shots rang out. Our sources say the shooter was driving down La Brea Avenue alone in his car when he fired.
Inglewood detectives are investigating, but right now it looks like M-Bone was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
We’re told M-Bone, who became famous with his group for the song, “Teach Me How to Dougie,” was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Vybz Kartel: Dancehall Hero or Freak?
Vybez Kartel is arguably one of Jamaica's most talented,versatile, controversial,and lyrically inclined Dancehall Artiste. He exploded on the local scene with witty, sexual yet outrageously raw songs, which later cemented him as being a sex symbol to the Dancehall as well as a Kingpin in the Dancehall Arena.
However with his extensive catalogue of lewd yet attractive songs,one has to argue the sudden yet ever changing image of Addija Palmer a.k.a Vybez Kartel.
The bleaching,plethora of tattoos, the masonry rings, and now the hair extensions. I'm not a GAZA fan, but I do listen to Kartel songs, some of them. I personally couldn't care less if tomorrow Kartel decides to do piercing all over his body. The point is, I call a square a square and a circle a circle. And if a guy, no matter his status,occupation or position, if he or her seems 'touched' , I got no choice but to criticize.So I leave you to question the following, Vybez Kartel: Dancehall Hero or Freak?- YOU DECIDE!

Who killed Osama Bin Laden?
In the dark of night, U.S. helicopters approached a high-walled compound in Pakistan on a mission to capture or kill one of the world's most notorious terrorist leaders.
Less than 40 minutes later -- early Monday morning in Pakistan -- Osama bin Laden was dead, along with four others inside the complex, and the U.S. forces departed with the slain al Qaeda leader's body to fulfill a vow that originated shortly after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.
And as he announced the raid at the White House Sunday night, U.S. President Barack Obama called bin Laden's death "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al Qaeda."---CNN NEWS NETWORK
At about 1:20 a.m. local time a Pakistani helicopter was shot down by unknown people in the Sikandarabad area of Abbotabad. The Pakistani forces launched a search operation in the nearby area and encountered with a group of unknown armed people. A fire exchange followed between the two sides.
When the fire exchange ended, the Pakistani forces arrested some Arab women and kids as well some other armed people who later confessed to the Pakistani forces they were with Osama Bin laden when the fire was exchanged and Bin Laden was killed in the firing.---XINHUA, CHINA
WHO DO YOU THINK KILLED HIM?
