The video for this is dropping next week via Vevo.

Complex Magazine takes us behind the scenes for the video shoot of Nas’ Daughters, looks to be styled by June Ambrose and directed by Chris Robinson

Ok listen. Nicki Minaj went and recruited God’s Son to be her love interest in this video so now she’s on some boss status with me.

Here are the latest visuals for “Right By My Side” feat. Chris Brown, I am NOT mad at the fact Nas is in this one, kind of gives him the sex appeal that is hard to see in other situations.

Kelis is somewhere throwing her milkshake on the floor, I just KNOW it.

Rock the Bells lineup was just released, and looks like I’ll be making the journey to LA once again to check out one of my favorite festivals of the year.

This year seems to be split up into to day dates, NOS Events Center in San Bernardino (8/18-8/19), Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View (8/25-8/26) and PNC Bank Arts Center in New Jersey (9/1-9/2).

The fact that Missy Elliot and Timbaland are on the roster though? I’m there. Performers include Kendrick Lamar, Bone Thugs, Wiz Khalifa, Kid Cudi, Dipset, and more.

We’ve been promoting these trading cards on Power 98.3, its cool to see that Ms. Wallace is talking about how she gave approval for Big to be a part of Platinum League Trading Cards-

Biggie’s mom Voletta Wallace, was in town yesterday to promote Platinum League trading cards. The cards features a slew of rappers including her son, The Notorious B.I.G.

Our conversation was great. She spoke on coping with her loss, B.I.G.’s appearance on Martin, VH1′s Behind The Music, and her decision to cremate him.

In progress.

This track is definitely on repeat in the iPod and on The Pulse, Swizz Beatz feat. A$AP Rocky-Street Knock now has some visuals…
