Check out this sneak peek of Beyonce’s interview on  “60 Minutes” that airs before the Grammy’s on Sunday 1/31. B is up for a few Grammy’s, in fact she has the most nominations this year with 10.

Beyonce is a polished product years in the making.  A fiercly talented performer with a million kilowatts of energy.  A shy girl from Houston who was a late bloomer in terms of her own sexuality, but parts of her show would make a preacher blush.

Here’s a track Joey leaked himself due to sample clearance issues; it was meant to go on his upcoming new album The Great Escape. His loss; Hip Hop’s gain. J. Cardim on the beat.

Check out Tony Yayo’s new video for “Bullets Whistle” off his upcoming G.P.G. mixtape. Check out the G.P.G. cover below…G.P.G. stands for Gun Powder Guru and is actually an album prequel…yup I said ALBUM PREQUEL (Yayo is actually dropping a 2nd album?!?!?! I’ll believe it when I see it). The G.P.G. mixtape will be availble on iTunes Feb. 9th

Here are a couple of new tracks from Sade’s upcoming new album (her first in about 10 years) Soldier Of Love. These joints are HOT! Expect nothing less when it comes to Sade. Her album drops Feb. 9th. I give you “Skin” but go support the LP and listen to “Baby Father” as a teaser.

Sade – “Skin”


Sade – “Baby Father”

Things get a little nostalgic as Dame Dash & Memphis Bleek run into each across the pond in London. No beef — the two actually embrace with hugs, daps and a salute. Word is Jay-Z was in his trailer a few feet away…and was unaware of Dame’s presence. It’s The (retro) ROC!
