Prophetic is an artist out of Milwaukee that has been cosigned by both Pharrell and Jay-Z. Not sure why I haven’t heard about this kid before but he definitely is someone to keep your eye on. Check out that ‘Entrepreneur’ joint that P said he was bumping and more after the jump…

Kanye West and His New Trend….

Kanye’s G.O.O.D Friday series may just be the smartest and most generous thing that a musician has done this year. The series which precedes his fifth album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, allowed fans a chance to listen to and download a new song every Friday (sometimes Saturday, depending on how busy Ye was). Kanye was actually very clever in the way that he seemed to embrace the infamous “leak”. We all know leaks happen to the best of them (especially as a release date approaches) and what better way to market your album than to make an event out of it. I can only speak for myself but I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that I looked forward to a new Kanye track every Friday!

He’s Not Famous Either

She’s Not Famous…and He’s Not Either

Whats up everybody you already know that she’s not famous…well I’m not either, so this is my attempt at introducing myself to you.

I go by the name of P1 which was shortened from Phenomenal1 because unfortunately many of my peers can’t spell, (but I don’t blame them I blame the education system!) Plus P1 has a cool ring to it right? Easier to remember, but I digress. I’m a hip hop artist from Chicago (Southside). So keep that in mind whenever you read my posts.

I’m honored to be here and to have been invited by The infamous Keena to be a part of the She’s Not Famous blog. So my section of She’s Not Famous Blog will be called “He’s Not Either…” it’s aptly title because I’m not a she (obviously), and I’m a long way from being famous.

I really enjoy writing about music, posing questions and writing opinions pieces. I love a healthy debate so please feel free to disagree with me, or play devils advocate. I can then get you wrapped up in my cold argument and persuasive skills! (I should have been a lawyer). Either way read my posts enjoy, let’s conversate and we can be entertained, educated, and motivated together! At least…until I get famous hahaha

Miguel Jontel: “MY ALBUM IS COMPLETE!”

I am a huge fan and avid supporter of Miguel Jontel.  He is an amazing singer/songwriter who surprisingly, has been waiting in the wings for some time now.  Ever since he released his mixtape, Mischief: The Mixtape, I have waited for updates on an album release.  His first single, “All I Want it You” feat. J. Cole exceeded my expectations and I was ECSTATIC when he finally tweeted Friday night:

@migmoney: “MY ALBUM IS COMPLETE! ALL I WANT IS YOU out NOVEMBER 30th! owW!”

Even before he released his mixtape, he was busy making a name for himself.  He made contributions to Usher’s Here I Stand and Raymond v. Raymond, as well as Asher Roth’s Asleep in the Bread Aisle and Musiq Soulchild’s “IfULeave”.  He also has a number of collaborations with underground artists such as Blu, Exile, Esthero, and Daz-I-Kue.  If you haven’t heard his mixtape yet, I recommend that you give it a listen.  It can be downloaded via his twitter profile @migmoney.  That should hold you over until November 30^th!!!

Justin Timberlake and Friends Concert 2010 in Vegas

Each year, Justin Timberlake sponsors the ‘Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospital for Children Open’.  The weeklong event that combines his love of golf, charitable nature, and his love of performance kicked off on October 17^th.  Amidst the tandem of golf competitions, Timberlake will also perform at Planet Hollywood on Oct. 23.  This event is appropriately titled, Justin Timberlake and Friends (which also benefits the Shriners Hospitals for Children).  This year, those friends include Sir Elton John, Christina Aguilera, Sean “Diddy” Combs and his new group Diddy-Dirty Money, Lady Antebellum, Salt-N-Pepa, Selena Gomez and T-Pain.  Who knows who else might show up.  This year’s guests have been gearing up for the event and sending tweets about their preparation:

 Dawn Richard tweets: “HEaDED to VeGas to rock the Stage at JUSTIN TimBerLAKE’S concert and Friends .. IDDM”

I can’t wait to see video from this event!!! If you were able to make it out there this year, let us know how it went.  Also, make a donation if you can via FACEBOOK or via JT Shriners Donation Page.

Cee Lo Green’s||Lay It Down’

Cee Lo Green chopped it up with Ludacris on the first installment of, “Lay it Down”.  You can catch the encore tonight @ 8pm/7c on Fuse.  The interview and performance show airs every Wednesday with next week’s guest being Lil’ Jon.  Future guests will include, Janelle Monae, N*E*R*D, Public Enemy, and T-Pain (just to name a few). 

I think Cee Lo is JUST the person we need to tap into these artist’s minds about their processes and approach to making music.  His eclectic taste in music should make for a very interesting show.

Did anyone catch the premiere….what did you think?  Promising?

You can visit Fuse’s site to view upcoming guests, photos, and more.
