2 Chainz stopped my Shade 45's Sway In The Morning a few days ago and had to pay his dues like every other guest on the show and lay down a freestyle a capella. At first I was watching like o_O, but he gets a second wind towards the middle and really starts rhyming.
Tech N9ne enlists his Strange Music label artits Ces Cru & Krizz Kaliko for the completely spazzed out Welcome To Strangeland track "Unfair." The album drops on November 8th, Tech's 40th birthday, but you can preorder it here!
When Flo Rida found his niche, he definitely stuck with it. I can't hate since he seems to be getting PAID from all of the crossover tracks that dominate clubs and pop radio stations. Check out the music video for his latest single, "Good Feeling," which shows us what life is like to be Flo Rida.
Wale rapped over the classic Jay-Z Encore track "What More Can I Say"on his latest freestyle. The Roc Nation managed artist is working hard promoting his Maybach Music debut album, Ambition, which drops on November 1st. Preorder it here!
The moment I heard that Teedra Moses had a show in North Carolina, I made it up in my mind that I would drive however long it took to finally see her. After seven years of being in the bedroom, shower, school, and car singing her music, I finally got a chance to see her perform LIVE when she opened up the Homecoming Concert at Livingstone College. When I tell you she KILLED IT!!!!!...BOI!
What impressed me most was her immense appreciation for her fans, which is something you don't see a lot with artists today. She sang "Take Me" specifically for a diehard fan in the audience, invited another loyal fan onstage with her, and even made time to have a conversation with him after the show although she had a 6 AM plane to catch.
After seeing her perform live for myself, there's no doubt in my mind why Teedra is nicknamed "The Young
Lioness." It was clear as soon as the curtain opened and she gracefully
appeared onstage that she has the just the right amount of grace and ferocity that's needed to thrive in the sweltering jungle known as the music industry. Her voice sounded even better live than on her
recordings, and her love for her music and performing permeated through the entire auditorium. Now I completely understand that it was her confidence, ambition and talent that allowed Rick Ross to recognize that Maybach Music Group was in need of someone like Teedra Moses.
Watch below as she performs "Another Luvr" and "Be Your Girl" LIVE at Livingstone College!
To see if Teedra Moses will be in your area, take a look at her full schedule!
I was first introduced to Hi Stakez at the A3C Festival when he gave an impressive freestyle during Enter The Cypher. What is more impressive is his work ethic-- this junior at The University of Houston still finds time to write music, record, travel, and promote just like any pro in the game.
In early 2012, Hi Stakez will be releasing his upcoming EP, Audiophile, which features the standout track "Make It Right." Check out the Anita Baker sampled track, which HiStakez produced himself, below!

T.I. took it home to BANKHEAAAAAD, Atlanta, GA for his video shoot for "I'm Flexin'," his announcement that he's officially returned to the game.
