I Heart Music (News): Kanye West And G.O.O.D Music Team To Headline South By South West?

Rumors have it that Kanye West and his G.O.O.D Music protege will be headlining the annual Texan music festival South By South West (SXSW) this year. According to sources, West and the GM team will take over the stage on March 19th, at midnight and a promo video for the event- which also happens to feature Kanye West's 'Runway' in the background adds further speculation to a possible performance. 


I guess we'll have to wait and see.


SXSW kicks off from March 11th-20th.

I Heart Music (Video): Sha Stimuli 'Wake Up Go'

I found Sha Stimuli in my inbox and I am happy we've become acquainted (musically of course). The Brooklyn based rapper has already governed himself a respectable spot light moment  in Source Magazine's 'Unsigned Hype' section with the release of his first mixtape 'Let Me Show You The Way,' back in 2002. 


'Wake Up Go' is the new single taken from Stimulus' forthcoming mixtape 'The Break- Up Part 2: The Proposal' and though it is quite notably a track for the clubs it also has a nice message, showing appreciate for natural beauty. 


Get acquainted. 

The Break-Up Part 2: The Proposal  is available now.

 Suck up the self pity and press play.

Every Tuesday at precisely 9pm, I  change my Blackberry status to 'busy' warning my friends that should they dare interrupt me during my favourite LA High School drama '90210', all hell could break lose and decade long friendships may result in an immediate dismissal  at the press of a delete button. 


I live for 90210 and apparently so does Snopp Dogg, who recently made a surprise cameo in the hit US teen drama.


Omg! Press play.
