Rapper J-Lie calls on Dip Set capo Jim Jones for an assist on “Get It on the Low”, a single from his forthcoming mixtape, Ears First, Hearts Next, due later this month. “I am here to get the attention of your ears first and then your heart next,” J-Lie says of the project. “‘Get It on the Low’ is the start of that mission. Everything I have been through prior to get to this point almost doesn’t count. Welcome to my world.” Raised in both L.A. and Atlanta, the South African-South Korean entertainer showcases both his rhyming and crooning talents in the visuals, which take place in various locations from rooftops to clubs. “The city tatted on my chest/ No Vinny but my entourage on Turtle’s neck/ Chokehold, on top, never sittin’ middle/ Two hands on that… no double dribble,” he raps. The former athlete is prepping for an upcoming Brazilian tour and dates in Japan this summer.

Recently, Eminem protege`, Obie Trice, bounced back from the wilderness to prepare fans for his upcoming mixtape,The Hangover. On the gritty cut, “Get Rich, Die Trying (GRDT)” featuring soul singer Bilal, Obie vows to do anything necessary to make it on the cold streets of the ‘D’. Although a nice intro into whats to come from Obie’s mixtape, We have to sound the alarm on this one!

This song was previously released 3 years ago featuring M.O.P., Sadat X, and indie rapper Caktuz. The track in question was originally recorded by Bilal and produced by Hi-Tek for 50 Cent’s Get Rich Or Dying soundtrack. So, the story goes like this…

Submitted as a demo from Bilal & Hi-Tek for placement on the Get Rich Or Dying soundtrack, 50 decided to use only G-Unt artists to fill the projects line-up. Caktuz, a radio host for defunct lifestyle brand WheatBread, approached Bilal about a track for the Bread Breaks Vol. 2 Mixtape. Caktuz recruited Sadat X to join him on the original version entitled; “So Cold”

After the mixtape dropped, Bilal & Caktuz were alarmed to hear an M.O.P. version that leaked to radio called “Get Rich”. One time signees to G-Unit Records, M.O.P., were slated to use the track for their album before the Brownsville legends were dropped from the label. Sources close to the Caktuz camp say tensions between the parties involved began to flare up to a breaking point until Caktuz reached out to friend, Billy Danze of M.O.P., to enquire into the confusion.

To squash any potential beef, Caktuz, M.O.P., & Bilal agreed to smash both versions together in one mix and release it as a digital download to fans. last year Caktuz re-released “Get Rich” as a part of his #OverTheWallWeds. free download campaign. Did Obie Trice striaght jack Caktuz for this track?

2012 better be ready. YADi isn’t like other pop musicians. Poised, petite and powerful, she exploded onto the blogsphere last year with ‘Sahara Heart’, a love song set upon the knife-edge of defiance and defeat. It garnered support across the board and quickly became i-D’s ‘Track of the Day’. It’s included on her debut EP ‘Guillotine’ which is released on 14^th May.

At just 24, she is a beautiful bundle of contradictions, the product of a genetic cocktail that mixes Algerian on her father’s side with Norwegian and Italian on her mother’s. For YADi – born in South London – her music is an aural kaleidoscope of influences, one that mixes the music of her heritage with the pop of the future, creating a forward-thinking sound that sets her apart from the crowd.

In the live arena, YADi stalks the stage with a slinky prowess – a feline with the roar of a tiger and a revolutionary zeal. Joining her on stage are Chris Hutchings and Max Taylor, both of whom she met on the thriving London music scene and who cut their teeth in Tom Vek’s band. Her performances, which resonate with a volcanic pulse, a cathartic outpouring of emotion and passion as if her very existence was dependent upon it, have won her many champions including Marina and the Diamonds and CSS, both of whom YADi has supported. Behind her flies the YADi flag, its four colours representing each country that encompasses part of her background.

COMEDIAN Lenny Henry and star of BBC TV show Hustle Adrian Lester visited a school to help get pupils interested in Shakespeare.

The famous pair were at The Norwood School in Crown Dale, Norwood, on Friday to lead a special class about the Bard’s life and works.

Jessie Nicholas, assistant head at the school, said: “The visit was brilliant. The pupils were really inspired and had great fun.

“They knew Lenny Henry, inset, more from his hotel adverts and also knew Adrian from TV.

“But they weren’t fazed at all.

“During the session they did a lot of voice work, talked about the language, spoke about stage presence and understanding the text.

“The students already knew quite a lot about Shakespeare which I think really impressed and delighted Lenny and Adrian.”

About 20 Year 8 and 9 pupils took part in the workshop which will be included an ITV show, to be aired later in the year, documenting how Lenny grew to love Shakespeare.

The funny man is performing in Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors until April at The National Theatre on the South Bank.

The school has a specialism in visual and performing arts and one of its governors, Mark Londesborough, works at The National Theatre which is how the connection with the actors was made.
