Dope commercial, but I’m not sure if this is a true advertisement of Absolut rather than the LV Don himself. Oh well — creative nonetheless.

Spotted at NahRight.

I had the pleasure to do my first interview with an artist of intelligent words. Ace Hood is a newly signed artist to DJ Khaled’s label We The Best Music. His debut single ‘Cash Flow’ has been murdering mainstream radio and he refuses to stop there.

Q: To start off, tell me about where you grew up.

Ace: Well you know, I’m from St. Lucia. Grew up in Deerfield Beach, Florida ya know. That was my home or my city for like 14 plus years.

Q: How did your childhood influence your music?

Ace: Well in my childhood I didn’t grow up with my original father, so my step father- he took place of his position or what not. My real father was a part of music as well. He was part of a band and my step father was part of a band as well. The pretty much inspired me. They inspired me coming up. Ya know. Do what I do. They was always supporting me to do it. So I might as well have pursued it like that.

“You can’t take the hood out [of] the homeboy,” Snoop Dogg raps in “Can’t Say Goodbye,” a collaboration with The Gap Band’s Charlie Wilson. He’s reminiscing about his old days in Long Beach, and discussing the struggles of moving on from the past and taking care of the family. This, in my opinion, is Snoop’s most heartfelt, yet melodic, song off Ego Trippin’. The album hits stores this Tuesday.

Listen: Snoop Dogg Feat. Charlie Wilson- “Can’t Say Goodbye” (MP3)

After receiving lackluster support for her first two singles, “Whatever U Like” and “Super Villain,” Nicole Scherzinger did what any other over-hyped musician would do: go back to the drawing board. Nicole collaborated with Ne-Yo in the studio, and here’s the brainchild of their recording sessions: “Happily Never After.” This definitely has the potential to push Nicole to the top of the Hot 100 charts.

Listen: Nicole Scherzinger- “Happily Never After” (MP3) // Re-Up’ed

BTW, listen to the song at 2:45 mins to hear Ne-Yo’s low-key cameo.

Could this be the authentic album cover to Nas’s extremely hyped forthcoming record, Ni**er?
