If ever we have a chance to go to a small venue where KiD CuDi is performing, WE’LL BE THERE. Last month, CuDi alongside DJ/producer Steve Aoki performed the remix to “Pursuit of Happiness” in a party setting. The almost 8 minute extreme energy session took place at Cinespace in Los Angeles. In attendance was actor Tristan Wilds. View the performance after…
Some behind-the-scene footage was shot and displayed of Theophilus London’s upcoming single, “Flying Overseas,” which features Solange, Dev Hynes and Ariel Rechtshaid. Here’s what London briefly stated about the meaning of the single:
We all got Together to Create Flying Overseas… which is a beautiful ODE To Flying West with your love…
We will definitely be on the lookout for this single because we will not let this preview stop. For the type of music Solange sings and her voice, it’s a perfect match plus London’s flow over that addictive production is wow o wow. View the preview after…
Nas & Damian Marley have set the date, May 18, for the release of their collaborative effort, Distant Relatives. This album is one of 2010 to look forward to, that is if you enjoy the genres of Reggae and Hip-Hop. From the previews, this is going to get a lot of spins. Check out Nas and Damian’s interview with VEVO after…
Erykah Badu premiered the the video for “Window Seat” the other day and its guerilla style, nudity and somewhat shocking ending was all an attraction. Badu also revealed that part of the inspiration came from the video Matt & Kim‘s “Lessons Learned” video. Check it out after…
In a post yesterday, we reported that 3 U.S. record labels (Universal Motown, Virgin and Warner Bros.) would have sent scouts here to The Bahamas for a competition, Mad Talent Showcase. Well, it turns none of these labels were scheduled to even be in the country. Here’s how MzPaparazzi242 is reporting the shameful occurrence:
…is the fact that some undisclosed number of Bahamian performers PAID O_o $50.00 to audition for the chance at a record deal and only 20 were chosen. C’mon son!!!*in the words of Tyra Banks* ”If you have to pay someone to sell your talent…chances are, it’s a scam.”
AND and, that’s not counting the persons that would have or are planning to purchase tickets priced at $15 for balcony seats, $20 for general, $35 for VIP and god knows how much for Platinum!!! Makes one wonder if this is a talent search or a concert??? [SOURCE]
WELL WELL, if you don’t know, there’s one thing The Bahamians are full of and it’s PRIDE. Simply put, this is just embarrassing.
UPDATE: Alright, so Mad Talent Showcase isn’t complete a disaster:
“We needed scouts to come here and see the talent, the Bahamas has to offer. So that they could encourage other scouts or possible labels to our shores. The event is not a scam and has been paid for out-of-pocket by Wesley Finlayson and his family, who had to cover the cost of airfare; lodging; transportation; per-diems of $200.00 per day (per scout) etc. Also funding of promotions, submissions, sound-check, venues (Luna/Audition venue/Event Venue) among other expenses. To which ticket sales are not projected to cover alone, therefore an administration fee of $50.00 was charged for each audition-er.
The scouts in question Stanley Demaree and Frank Kiradalnis of Virgin Active Management & Blue Star Mar-Ance have been subsidiaries of Virgin Records, and Warner Brothers for quite a number of years scouting talent (having founded 3 bands already) and the third scout Kevin McCreery working directly for Universal Motown Records, unfortunately could not make the event, however we do have evidence by way of ticket voucher; that Mr. McCreery was due to come.
Again, the event was meant as a networking tool, to get Bahamian Artists recognized by the international music industry. It was not our intent to defraud anyone, as the purpose of Mad Talent was for an opportunity to promote Bahamian talent.”
Persons have to understand how the music business operates to fully understand the concept of our event!
It almost seems surreal that we’re hearing music from Aguilera’s Bionic album. Today, an 18 second preview of the Polow Da Don produced and Ester Dean written single, “Not Myself Tonight,” was unveiled.
After hearing the snippet we would rather wait and hear the full tune at once because it sounds like a regular club banger. We’re expecting so much more from this album.

Hmm we think to ourselves, “Will there be an artist to come out of The Bahamas on the level that Rihanna came out from Barbados?” Well you never know as WesSide Entertainment is hosting Mad Talent Showcase this Saturday, March 27, at the Rain Forest Theater, Wyndham Nassau Resort.
This is huge deal because Universal Motown, Virgin Records, and Warner Bros. will all be there to discover some Bahamian talent and take them to the US and hopefully international. Here’s what CEO of WesSide Entertainmeant, Wesley Finlayson, had to say about the whole ordeal:
“Universal Motown, Virgin Records, and Warner Bros. will be in attendance at the show scouting for a Bahamian artist to sign to their labels.”
“They must come out and impress the judges within that six minutes. They (representative from each label) will be looking at how original the artist are, they will be looking for stage presence, attitude, how good of an artist he or she is, the way the crowd responds to them, and a number of other things.”
This is an amazing opportunity so knock it out of the park you Bahamian artists.
A week later and we have another exclusive from DJ Ampero. This new mash-up/remix is entitled “Sexy in Tom’s Diner” and the vocals are Spragga Benz’s “How You Look Sexy So?,” the beat is Susan Vega’s “Tom’s Diner” with a loop of Juvenile’s “Back That Azz Up.”
The song gets off to a rough start but progresses into a pretty hot track. In other news, Ampero will be releasing an free of charge LP that will consist of 10 tracks under the title Gallimaufy.

Pop icon, Janet Jackson, recently shot the music video for the soundtrack single of Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married Too?” Jermaine Dupri gives us all an inside look before the finished product hits screens all over.
Can’t help it but we just want to squeeze Janet Jackson’s cheeks, she is too cute. The thing is she doesn’t come off like an immature idiot, it just suits her personality so well.
Anyway, which one of you lucky buggas will be going to see the “Why Did I Get Married Too?” premiere this Monday, March 29, at the Atlantis resort here in The Bahamas?
If you’ve seen the original “My Chick Bad” video then you’ve seen this one. Eve’s verse still is the best.
Those earthquake(we hope that’s politically correct to say in these times) camera effects are still of the wall; it adds another level of hype to the video.
