"We Are The World" Part 2 Official Music Video.

 "We Are The World" is back 25 years later this time to benefit the victims of the tragic earthquake that struck Haiti just a few weeks ago.  Singers from all ages, and genres came together to make history again.





My favorite part was MJ's.

New Music: Kid Cudi Highs N Lows.

After his recent runs ins with the law and a fan at his concert, Kid Cudi has been all over the place. So I'm guessing this song is only appropriate. "High N Low"



"Its like a battle knife to a gun fight, but I'll be cool its the story of my life"

The Next Big Thing: Laura Izibor!

She's  the epitome of the New American Mainstream even though she's the Irish RnB Singer that everyone is talking about. Funny thing is that Laura Izibor's race seems to keep coming up when she's in the states.

“It’s funny, the fact I’m black always, always comes up in the US,” she says. “It nearly helps win them over. But I have to acknowledge it, otherwise, it’s kind of hanging there. I recently did a gig at BB King’s in New York. It attracts a very mainstream audience. And they were all like, ‘what the hell? Black and Irish?’ So I acknowledged it and then they were like, ‘oh well, at least she said it’. They walk away thinking — hey, maybe there are black people in France, too? And in England’. They think the only black people are Africans or African-Americans. They way I see it, I’m educating them.”

Laura Izibor is another one of my favorite artist of 2009. She is great if you haven't heard of her you should look her up NOW!
