Ms. Fiona opens her Grammy ballot (I wonder who she’s gonna vote for? hmmm) and if that’s not enough “It Kills Me” is currently the #1 R&B Record on Billboard.com.
What a way to cap off an amazing year. Congratulations Melanie!

Shouts to Soze who put me on to these guys about a year and half ago. If I’m not mistaken this is their first official music video though. Cameos by P. Reign, Camoflauge, 7Shades, Don Million, Soze and a bunch of really cute kids. RIP to all those we lost in 2009. Directed by Chris Strikes. Seen on HHC. For more info on TnT check out their YouTube page.
This video is dedicated to all the loved ones we lost in this sick sick sick world…’till we meet again…we missing you!
Drake recently sat down with MTV News in his Canadian hometown and explained how the song, produced by Tone Mason and co-produced by his October’s Very Own cohort Noah “40″ Shebib, came to fruition.
The track will be included on the rapper’s forthcoming debut, Thank Me Later, tentatively slated for a March release.
“When I heard that beat, the drums that they had come up with, it was like, ‘Man, this is a moment,’ ” he said. ” ‘This sounds like where I’m at in my life.’ So, we took it and 40 did what he does to pieces of music that I see potential in — he took it to the next spot. Jay-Z’s on it. The song is phenomenal. It’s done now.”
The pair previously worked together on Jay-Z’s “Off That,” from Hov’s The Blueprint 3 project.
The Timbaland-produced track, however, only featured Drake on the hook instead of contributing a verse alongside Jay. This time, the two MCs both had their say on “Light Up.” Though upstart MC was able to recruit the Roc Nation head into the fold for his first album, in addition to expected collabos with Lil Wayne and Kanye West, Drake said he’s trying to downplay the guest list and focus on his humble beginnings.

Another great example of how in today’s “lawless” Internet world you can not only spit a verse over a hot beat but also make some simple but effective visuals to it. This should be the minimum for any new artist. This is my first time hearing of dude but from listening to the verse I have deducted that he’s from MTL and knows all the DJs there lol. Shouts to all my MTL Core DJs! Kwite Sane what up!
