TUNES I LIKE: Right By My Side Nicki Minaj ft. Chris Brown

"Good design begins with honesty, asks tough questions, comes from collaboration and from trusting your intuition". ~ Freeman Thomas

To be honest iWas not going to pay this "Right By My Side" video by Nicki Minaj any attention at first because iThought it would be the same as her other videos. What changed my mind? a animated .gif iSaw on twitter of Ms. Nicki Assaulting Nas's *who looked very handsome* bottom lip lol. iMust say the video turned out very good she kept it nice and simple and i liked it.

SOMETHING NEW: 2CHAINZ RIOT

The T.R.U. REALigion mixtape has built up much buzz for the former member of Playaz Circle.  2 Chainz *formerly known as Tity Boi* is now ready to show the world what he can do on his own. He as already produced a hit with the song "Spend It" and has been featured on almost every BIG hip-hop track out right now. 2 Chainz now wants to start a "RIOT" of his own, with his debut album "Based on a T.R.U.

TUNES I LIKE: MELODY THORNTON "LIPSTICK & GUILT"

Former Pussycat Doll Melody Thronton is ready to show the world what she can do on her own.  She choose to do this by remixing Jay Z and Kanye West's song "No Church In The Wild". With her own little song called "Lipstick & Guilt" I Usually don't like when artist remix any of Jigga or Mr. West's songs but I must admit I like this one. I didn't even know that Melody had a voice to pull a song like is off but she did it. The visuals for the song is very simple so I kept my design the same. Thornton is getting ready to release her first mixtape P.O.Y.B.L. *which iDon't know what is stands for lol* on March 15

WHAT'S NEW: WALE SLIGHT WORK FEAT. BIG SEAN

Maybach Music artist Wale released the video for "Slight Work". The first thing that caught my eye while watching the video was the artwork on the walls. Also the visuals for this video I would describe it as underground art. Which caused the creative side of my brain to come up with the graphic up above. "Slight Work" is a heavy hitting bass, *great for the clubs* track. Which features G.O.O.D. Music artist Big Sean. ( The video was directed by Chris Brown ) If you have not already please be sure pick up Wale's album Ambition

iHEART THIS SONG: MIGUEL "ADORN"

The talented Miguel is back with NEW music! *happy dance* "Adorn" is the first release from his Art Dealer Chic, Vol 1 (iDon't know if it's an album or a mixtape) *due February 27*  judging by the song/video for Adorn whatever it is it's gonna be good. The visual for Adorn looked like a moving painting when iFirst saw it and that inspired me to create my graphic with the same feel.

WHO IS IGGY AZALEA?

Iggy Azalea used the POWERS of Youtube to show the world that chicks can Rap from the land down under, 21 year old Australian rapper Iggy Azalea is set to kick in the doors and make her mark in 2012. Last October Iggy released her Ignorant Art mixtape to the masses. *she might be close to signing a new deal with Def Jam* Her latest video for “The Last Song” (directed by Bell Soto). This video was my inspiration behind my latest graphic,  Film, Fashion, Stylish and Colors. Checkout more video by Iggy Azalea below:

SOMETHING NEW: RIHANNA ~ U DA 1

I was feeling creative today *also have not post any new graphic in a while* So I decided to post something for Rihanna's second single "You Da One" from her sixth album Talk That Talk. 6 albums in 6 years wow this woman works hard iRespect her hustle not too many have done what she has. If you can't respect that your whole perspective is wack *in my Jay-Z voice* Rihanna's first single "We Found Love" is still sitting pretty at #1 on BillBoards Hot 100. *8WEEKS* 

Something New: Common: Blue Sky

NEW MUSIC: BIG SEAN "Marvin & Chardonnay"

Finally, I get to post another Big Sean Graphic...The video for his 2nd single "Marvin & Chardonnay" feat. Yeezy and Roscoe Dash ~side bar: Hype Williams-directed~ was released off his G.O.O.D. Music debut album Finally Famous. *which I have been waiting for* I find myself randomly saying *hold up hold up hold up* judge me NOT because you probably do it too lol. I must admit the video was not at all what I expected. It's vibrant and give me an old/new school Hip-Hop vibe. *So I had to totally rethink/redesign my graphic that I wanted to post* and this is what I created by the time I pressed save and quit PhotoShop.

NEW MUSIC: BRIDGET KELLY "Thinking About Forever"

  

Roc Nation signee Bridget Kelly is now putting her talent on display by singing an acoustic version of her *Buzz Single* "Thinking About Forever" (Which Mr. Novacane singer Frank Ocean penned) *Novocaine for the spell-check police...* Word is Bridget will be putting out a four to five song digital EP.

I DO IT

Big Sean's BIG day is almost here...June 28, 2011 is the day he's "Finally Famous" *debut album title* So I just wanted to do a graphic design to shout out G.O.O.D Music. B. Sean received his BIG break after Kanye West heard him freestlye five years ago. *now he's part of G.O.O.D Music label*

RumBumBumBum Man Down

Had to put my little island twist on this design right here *brraapp* Rihanna brought it back to her island roots with this single "Man Down"  and also had the courage to shine a light on a very sensitive subject in her latest video for the song it is not your typical dancehall video...It's a video with a message
