Photobucket

Brooklyn based hip hop artist, Theophilus London, recently dropped "Flying Overseas" the first single from his upcoming album. Calling on Solange Knowles & Devonte Hynes for backup was a great idea, and this track is perfect for the morning commute or an afternoon run.

"This song is about a kid from Brooklyn having dreams of jetting off to an exotic land with a loved one. I want to inspire kids to travel. Traveling inspires my music the most. It has inspired the entire album I just finished writing." -Theophilus London

During last week's hearing, Judge Schnegg commented, "Out of thousands of probationers, no one has done a better or more consistent job than you [Chris Brown] have, and I really want to commend you for taking responsibility and for actually working diligently to complete all the things the court has required of you."

CONSERVATIVE WOMEN BLAST PALIN, RIHANNA DODGES PLAYBOY

SHADE FROM THE BUSH

This month, several important women in the Conservative arena have come forth to express their unfavorable outlook on Sarah Palin, and the most unexpected commentary comes at the hand of former first Lady Barbara Bush. In an upcoming Larry King Live interview, Bush describes Palin saying, "I sat next to her once, thought she was beautiful, and I think she's very happy in Alaska...and I hope she'll stay there." Older people are the BEST at throwing shade

The Palins are an odd breed.  You have Sarah who played a large role in the unsuccessful election of John McCain, yet now has a huge political following.  Then, there's Bristol who isn't the greatest dancer in the world, but...i'm not even going to go there

FRESH TUNES: RIHANNA'S "CHEERS (DRINK TO THAT)"

Let's have a toast for the douce bags! ~Kanye West
Much music from Rihanna's upcoming album, Loud, has leaked, but "Cheers" is probably my favorite song so far.  The mid-tempo track was produced by The Runners and flows effortlessly. Plus, the Avril Lavigne sample provides the perfect catchy hook (yeah-e-ah, yeah-e-ah).  It's a celebration song; i'm sure this will get single treatment. Props to BLAZINGSWARM for the link.
