New Music: Michael Francis - Off The Chain

I can't remember the last time I heard someone use the phrase "Off The Chain," but singer Michael Francis is bringing it back. I can't be mad at him for it either. Listen to The University produced track below:

New Music: Demi Lovato - All Night Long f/ Missy Elliot [Prod. by Timbaland]

Before you say anything, it's Timbaland and Missy!  These were my childhood music heroes, so any collaboration between the two of them is listen-worthy for me.  Demi Lovato sings the song really well, and I've gotta admit it's infectious. Listen to "All Night Long" below:

The Making of Kanye West & Rhymefest's "Alligator Boots"

Back in 2008, Kanye West and Rhymefest were working hard on a pilot for their show Alligator Boots, which they were hoping to have aired on Comedy Central.  As you've probably figured out, the show never saw the light of day.  Look below for some behind the scene footage of the show that surfaced featuring Kanye West, Rhymefest, Kim Kardashian, and some weavalicious, pimping puppets.
