Back On My Blog

                                          WE BACK

Boxing

Back like I never left?? Welcome back to everybody's favorite blog The UrbanWord!! Alot has changed since my last post but one thing hasn't and that's the freshest hottest news on the planet. In boxing news Floyd Mayweather Jr ousted Marcos Maidana via a unanimous decision in their rematch that took place last night. Mayweather appeared to have been bitten by Maidana in the 8th round during a clinch. Mayweather's next opponent is expected to be either Amir Khan or Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao must win his next fight v.s. Chris Algeri to ensure that Floyd even considers partaking in the super fight that would rake in hundreds of millions of dollars. The under card produced a victory for Bey, one of Floyd's fighters, and a 2nd round TKO.

Music

In the music world there has been alot of buzz recently over artists such as Young Thug and Nicki Minaj. Young Thug has been rumored as being one of a few gay rappers who has yet to come forward. August Alsina and Ty Dolla Sign have been seen making music together and are both set to appear at prominent universities during Homecoming season in October. Meek Mill will be released from jail soon and yesterday was the anniversary of Ready To Die. The album turned 20 years old, like I will be this year, and Funk Flex played an omage to the dead rapper via his radio show. Yesterday also marked the 18 year anniversary since Tupac Shakur was pronounced dead after spending six days in the hospital in critical condition. Happy Birthday to virgo rapper Nas, wishing you many more man. Personally I will be releasing a mixtape midway through December  or possibly closer to the Christmas holiday. I have been working with an up and coming producer who will also be dropping a project. Never was a rapper but I've been told that I'm talented so it's time to let the public decide.

Basketball

As far as the NBA goes fans are ready for an action packed season to begin on October 30th. Today the U.S. national team captured a gold medal by effectively knocking off Serbia to cruise to a 129-92 Victory. Citizen Journalism has officially became the most popular form of media reporting and if you don't know what that is google it. Congratulations to Kyrie Irving who took home the MVP award for tournament play and the U.S. men's team that has now qualified for the 2016 games.

As always any comments, questions, or concerns just email me mcorbin1214@gmail.com and add me on instagram/twitter rayhemthedream.... I'm back on the blog heavy so expect fresh news on a weekly basis and tell a friend about the page, we about to blow up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heating Up

Welcome back to another installment of the UrbanWord 411.!!!!!

In the NBA the San Antonio Spurs recently took game 1 following a 4th quarter outburst in which the team shot 14/16. Tim Duncan shot 90% for the game and joined some elite company by completing that feat last Thursday.LeBron James left the game early due to severe cramping, however he has stated that he will be ready for game 2 on June 8th. Dwayne Wade played excellent and looks to be able to still compete at an elite level. The AT&T center experienced a malfunction with the air conditioning causing the arena to elevate in temperature above 90 degrees, which some believe may have affected the players. Above you can look at a highlight reel of the Game 1 action.

Congratulations to Miguel Cotto, who defeated Sergio Martinez via 9th round TKO to become the first Puerto Rican to win titles in 4 weight divisions. Miguel Cotto may have just tossed his name into the pool of potential Floyd Mayweather opponents. Amir Khan may get his chance to fight Mayweather in early 2015 in his home land of Great Britain. The fighter has become the biggest phenom from the area since Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton. Adrien Broner has again expressed his desire to fight Pacquiao and a bout between him and Danny Garcia is currently in the making. The next super fight we have in boxing will feature Canelo Alvarez and power puncher ErisLandy Lara in early July.

In the world of music Troy Ave is still an unsigned free agent who may be close to signing a deal soon. Reports have surfaced that the rapper wants at least 1.3 million dollars for his services, however he is willing to compromise if the numbers are right. Hovain, Troy's manager has stated via an Elliot Wilson interview, that labels are hounding Troy to sign however when the time is right the deal will fall through. The G-Unit album and Dipset albums are coming soon as is Meek Mill's Sophomore project. Slaughterhouse recently released a mixtape to generally critical acclaim showcasing the group's lyrical explosions. Personally my favorite member is Joell Ortiz but I'm a biased Brooklyn guy lol. Each member is dope in his own right but I feel like Crooked I and Budden have alot of pain behind their lyrics.

Thats all for this installment but check me out next week for "New Flava in Ya Ear" #CraigMackVoice

June

Welcome Back to another edition of The UrbanWord411!

In recent NBA news the Spurs and the Heat have played well enough to set up a finals rematch which will be the first in back to back seasons since the Bulls and the Jazz from 1997-1998. Upon the loss by the Oklahoma City Thunder, which ended their season, Knicks President of Basketball operations Phil Jackson was fined for tampering. Derek Fisher was the player he allegedly tampered with. Fisher just finished up his final NBA season with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Kevin Love was recently spotted at Fenway Park with Celtic Rajon Rondo on a trip that seems to be recruitment related. Love will become a free agent at the end of next season and has already expressed his displeasure with the team and it's direction. Also Larry Bird and the Indiana Pacers have retained coach Frank Vogel and agreed not to offer Center Roy Hibert a maximum extension. Lance Stephenson's future with the team is currently uncertain as well. Tony Parker is set to play in Game 1 of the finals despite missing the second half of Game 6 in the Conference Finals. Game 1 begins at 9 PM on Thursday June 5th in San Antonio. Also here's my cover of R.Kelly's When A Woman Loves.

As far as the music world goes Summer Jam 2014 proved alot of things. August Alsina is not much of a performer and NY music is still alive and well. G-Unit had a reunion during the festival as did Nas and 50 Cent. Up and coming NY star Troy Ave's performance was spectacular and included the incorporation of rapper T.I. 50 Cent along with Fabolous debuted the remix of the song "Cuffin Season" from Fab's most recent mix tape entitled "The Soul Tape 3". With June here and summer nearly underway expect to see tons of albums dropping as well as tours nationwide. Here are just a few of the festival's performances. The XXL Freshmen class has already released individual freestyles and now the first cypher has been released.

Recently I released a verse over Chaka Khan's "Ain't Nobody" Via my souncloud page that I would appreciate if people followed it. Just look me up RayhemTheDream... You not doing nothing important anyway so give my material a listen and if you like it share it.. Also I am currently looking for more beats so if you have any email me at mcorbin1214@gmail.com

Summer Around the Corner

Welcome back to another installment of The Urban Word with yours truly RayhemTheDream!!

In the NBA currently the Conference finals are under way with both the Miami Heat and the Spurs leading in their match-ups. Serge Ibaka has made a miraculous comeback and will most likely be available for the remainder of the playoffs. As far as coaches go congratulations to the Warriors new head coach Steve Kerr. Also again congrats to Stan Van Gundy who was named both coach and president of basketball operations for the Detroit Pistons. Currently the candidates for the New York Knicks coaching gig remain to be Mark Jackson, Derek Fisher, and Rick Fox whose name was recently added to the list. Kevin Love's next destination is still unknown however he's publicly stated his desire to"Go to a team that can win a championship now." In other news the Cleveland Cavaliers have decided not to grant Kyrie Irving a max contract for the next 4-5 years. Although Kyrie has been an All-Star in 2 of 3 seasons including winning the games MVP award this year, he still has yet to reach the playoffs or play any solid defense. This is not good for a former first round draft pick. Unless King James decides to leave South Beach for Ohio, Uncle Drew may soon leave the city, which is ok considering they still have the #1 pick in this June's Draft. Wiggins, Irving, and James???  The NBA world will become very interesting come July 1st.

In Hip Hop News Wiz Khalifa was arrested for Marijuana possession recently but released the next day. Kanye West recently married his fiancee and the mother of his daughter Kim Kardashian in Italy recently. Meek Mill was recently spotted counting cash on a private jet and speaking about the infamous instagram account called fakewatchbusta that has been exposing celebs rocking fake time pieces. Meek however shops with shyne jewelry that's located in Philadelphia. Troy Ave has been buzzing in the streets following his interview with Elliot Wilson which can be seen below. Troy Ave will be the first unsigned artist to headline Summer Jam and since he's already getting money the MC has stated there's no need to rush into a deal that doesn't meet his standards.

Lately I've been posting to youtube and rapping so I'm dabbling all over. Above you can check out my voice over/ dance to R.Kelly- When A woman Loves...


Tune in next week for another installment yall and keep supporting the kid  @RayhemTheDream

Grind Time

Congratulations to Michael Carter-Williams of the Philadelphia 76ers on winning rookie of the year and Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder on capturing his first league MVP award. These two players have had great seasons with Durant's being historical and epic to watch. LeBron James, last season's MVP, has stated that KD was more than deserving of the award this year and that he's played MVP caliber basketball. Last night both road teams capture wins in the Conference semifinals as Washington beat Indiana by 6 while the Clippers blew out the Thunder with a final score of 122-105. Clippers guard Chris Paul made 8 straight 3 pointers and 5 straight within the first 6 minutes of game play. Paul is currently nursing a number of injuries, however he has stated that this season is do or die for the Clippers. The Indiana Pacers seem to have lost that fight that carried them to a Game 7 win over the Hawks in the opening round of the playoffs. The Wizards dominated the Pacers early in Game 1 and seemed to have set the tone for the series as well. The Miami Heat take on the Brooklyn Nets tonight in South Beach while the San Antonio Spurs host the Portland Trailblazers at the AT&T Center.





In recent news Manny Pacquiao has stated that he would be open to a fight with Adrien Broner possibly in September of 2014. Floyd Mayweather Jr seems to be set on fighting up and coming undefeated welterweight Keith Thurman in September, which could possibly be Mayweather's last fight. While most boxing fans want to see Floyd reach 50 wins they feel that it would mean at least 3 fights next year as the champ will turn 38 in February and there doesn't seem to be enough legitimate contenders to garner a challenge for Floyd. Miguel Cotto has hinted at another big career fight for him against Canelo Alvarez or Erislandy Lara later this year if possible. Amir Khan has his sights set on a career fight that will serve as a comeback for him, he has stated that he wishes to face Marcos Maidana again with the belief that he'll again be victorious and possibly capture the knockout this time around. Danny Garcia seems to be the man with the plan in the 140lb weight class and everyone want to see him face off against Lucas Mattyse again and Adrien Broner in a title fight.


As far as music goes the summer is coming which means Summer Jam 2014 featuring NY's very own Troy Ave among a number of other prominent artists. Over the summer I plan on releasing what I'm calling a throwback mixtape in the sense that it's made using beats that are hot at the time. Sure the lyrics are original, however the beats are among the most known at that particular time in hip hop. My mixtape's format will be similar to that of Lil Wayne's Infamous "No Ceilings" mixtape.

By the Way what do you guys think of this being the new UrbanWord Logo??????

It Ain't Summer, But The Block Is Hot!!

So the NBA playoffs have just become that much more interesting with several series heading to Game 7. The Warriors captured a 100-99 win to punch their ticket to a Game 7 showdown in Los Angeles on Saturday May 3rd. The Memphis Grizzlies were blown out by the Thunder in Game 6 and will be subsequently missing their star forward Zach Randolph due to him being suspended for striking Thunder Center Steven Adams in the Jaw. Personally I think the Houston Rockets will capture a win tonight and force a Game 7 in H-Town. In the same sense I believe that the Brooklyn Nets will win Game 6 in Brooklyn tonight to force a Game 7 in Toronto. Congratulations to the Wizards and the Heat for finishing out their series in tremendous fashions. In recent news it has been established that the front runner for purchasing the Los Angeles Clippers is Sean "Diddy" Combs. There were rumors that Oprah Winfrey was interested in the team, however sources close to Diddy have stated that he's shown "extremely high interest" in the team.


Boxing fans should begin to rejoice as there will be a star studded line up for the Main event fight on May 3rd featuring Floyd Mayweather and Marcos Maidana. Amir Khan and Adrien Broner will be two superstars featured in two separate fights on this Super Undercard. Personally I appreciate Floyd Mayweather's Brand due the fact that the last big Floyd Mayweather fight undercard featured Lucas Mattyse and Danny Garcia in a superfight that could have garnered it's own Pay-Per View recognition. Regardless of the May 3rd outcome, Floyd Mayweather plans to fight his final bout in September of 2014 against an unnamed opponent. Many boxing fans are wishing to see Manny Pacquiao be that opponent, however I believe the likelihood of something like this is extremely low at this point and time.  The moment has come for these two men.



As far as the music world goes there was recently a song released by Michael Jackson ft. Justin Timberlake. Keyshia Cole also released a single entitled "Rick James", which features a chorus heavily based off of his "I'm Rick James Bitch" catchphrases. Alot of underground artists such as JoeyBadass may be getting signed to major record labels this year so be on the lookout. Big Shoutout to Jadakiss and Styles P on the grand opening of Juices For Life

That's all for this installment so enjoy the first weekend in May and as always email me @ mcorbin1214@gmail.com, text me 610-739-8934, and add me on social media @RayhemTheDream.

In Case You Didn't Know

So although I recently posted on my blog I felt that there were a few secrets that I should let those who support me in on. The first secret is that Carmelo Anthony will be returning to the New York Knicks for the 2014-2015 season. The only thing possible for Melo at this point would be teaming up with Dwight Howard and James Harden, where Oscar Robertson believes he will fit perfectly. If Melo's ultimate goal is to still win a championship, then the choice would seem to be a no brainer right?  The second secret is that Kevin Love will be coming to the Knicks as well and they will get rid of Tyson Chandler, Raymond Felton, and  Jeremy Tyler unfortunately. If Carmelo Anthony leaves the Knicks however, Kevin Love is surely headed to the Los Angeles Lakers and Phil Jackson will continue bringing in Veterans to NY such as Lamar Odom and Metta World Peace. LeBron James and the Big 3 will only stay together if they complete the three-peat. If the Heat don't win an NBA championship this year the Chicago Bulls or the Cleveland Cavaliers will be the front-runners in the LeBron James sweepstakes. The Los Angeles Lakers will becoming a playoff team in the West once again this year and Kobe Bryant will be back and average roughly 25 ppg this upcoming season. Kevin Garnett is retiring, spoiler alert, and as you guys know so is Derek Fisher. Blake Griffin and Chris Paul will give this experiment another season following this one to win an NBA championship and if that fails, Blake Griffin will most likely become a Boston Celtic. My final secrets are Deron Williams will play spectacularly next season, The Phoenix Suns will be a contender next season, Paul Pierce is retiring in another two years, Steve Nash is retiring, and Steve Kerr will be the Knicks head coach next season

In addition to all of my business endeavors I am dabbling into modeling now as well. I have already contacted some small name clothing brands that will be providing me with gear to model and I want to be a huge part of helping a small company blow up. I feel as though with the following I have on here and other social media outlets I can reach thousands and maybe even millions of people. Follow me @rayhemthedream on both instagram and twitter. Rayhem Corbin is my facebook name where you can contact me personally. I recently changed my number due to the high volume of nonsense requests so for now my email is still mcorbin1214@gmail.com

This is Boss clothing founded by Andrew Winters who can be reached at
bossteamclothing@gmail.com for inquiries. Tell him Rayhem Corbin sent you


Here's a video with a clip of my recent reporting as well. Many people know I am a commuications major so heres my newsreport and my 30 minute radio show is coming soon.

Thats all for now though folks Just Felt like letting you guys into my world for a second.

Back At It

Yoooooo... Back with the newest installment of the UrbanWord ladies and gentlemen. With the NBA playoffs underway I got Houston, Los Angeles, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Miami, Brooklyn, Indiana, and Chicago leaving the first round with wins and advancing to the semifinals. Lamarcus Aldridge turned in one of the best games by a Trailblazer in Franchise history with Lillard adding 31 in his playoff debut. Kemba Walker and John Wall also turned in great playoff debuts with Wall's ending in a victory and the achievement of capturing home court in the series. The semifinals is where things get interesting for me, because the top 4 teams as far as season play battle it out and out west I see alot of dogfights while in the East the only dogfight I see is Miami V.S. Brooklyn in the 2nd round.


In the world of music I personally will be dropping a mix tape with Church hill who is an unsigned rapper who currently resides in Philadelphia. The tape will release in the Fall of this year and it will include original music by both him and myself. The title as of now is When Worlds Collide and we are both very excited about our upcoming compilation project that may feature a few surprise guest appearances. Honestly I feel like I have a serious story to tell, remember pain can only bring pleasure so all the hardships create beautiful music. The music world as a whole is definitely bubbling right now with artists dropping mix tapes and surprise albums nearly everyday. Lately I have been listening to old Diplomats, Jay Z, and even Gospel artists for some inspiration as I prepare for my upcoming project.

As far as boxing goes May 3rd, May Day, is going to include the Mayweather/Maidana super fight with Adrien Broner on the under card. June will follow with more epic fights and July will feature former champion Canelo Alvarez challenging Erislandy Lara who defeated El Perro prior to El Perro losing to Alvarez. Paulie Malignaggi recently got knocked out in the first round against up and coming welterweight Shawn Porter who many believe will become a great champion soon. Personally I like what Paulie stands for being as we both hail from Brooklyn and I believe he can still fight more. If Paulie decides to retire he can have a great career as a commentator for boxing as he's done it recently in big fights such as the Mayweather/Alvarez fight that occurred last September.








And that's all the news for now. As you guys all know I am a college student so I am currently finishing up the final stretch of the semester and looking forward to a prosperous summer. God Bless you all and thank you for continuing to support my blog.

I'm Back

Sorry I haven't posted in a while to all the fans, however college has taken it's toll on me and consumed the majority of my time as of late. Never the less I'm Back and I use these words, because they were implemented by the G.O.A.T. Michael Jordan. With NBA Playoff basketball less than a week away and playoff berths almost fully clinched there's been alot of talk surrounding the league. As an avid Laker and Knick fan I am crushed to see neither one of my teams competing in the post season however both teams need work and will begin to rebuild for the future. Stephen Curry just became the only player in NBA History to make at least 250 3- point field goals in consecutive seasons, putting him on pace to obliterate the record that Ray Allen is only increasing each game. I see the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Clippers in the Western Conference Finals and in the East I see The Heat facing off against the Brooklyn Nets if the playoff seeding allows this scenario.


In music news Jadakiss is looking to drop Top 5 Dead or Alive later this year. Meek Mill is set to drop his Sophomore album entitled Dreams Worth More Than Money in the summer. TDE is also making some noise in coherence with Rick Ross's MMG. Personally I've been doing some rapping lately over custom made beats made by one of my college buddies and I believe we've made some impressive shit. Here's a sample I'm  the second verse and the track's concept is the movie Paid In Full. We don't a chorus yet so anyone who can sing and wants their shot at stardom feel free to email me mcorbin1214@gmail.com or call me 610-739-8934... People fail to realize that I am one of the most ratable and reachable bloggers out there for the simple fact that I'm real.


Stephen Curry makes History

Recently I attended a Sixers V.S. Nets game in Philadelphia, court side of course, and I wanted my fans to get a taste of my experience along with some other goodies.... Not to stray but congratulations to Manny Pacquiao on his unanimous decision victory over Timothy Bradley giving the boxer his first career defeat.

As always any questions, comments or concerns just contact me...

Time Is Flying

Man oh man is time flying by. We are a week away from March, past the NBA All-Star Break, and Rick Ross's Album will drop in a number of days. Recently I got a request to speak on how I felt about all the black violence on this blog. Personally I feel that if Black people took that energy and put it into something positive they could truly be dominant. Never the less I am not apart of the senseless killing and I don't live my life worried about dying. We will all die one day, but while I'm here I plan on living by God's laws and being as happy as I can be. So as far as the killings in Chicago and Florida recently, I could care less, because regardless of if people get justice or not the life is gone and we must move on. America is not the land of the Blacks and as much " Affirmative Action" as they may try to implement you will never be on a leveled playing field so work harder to succeed.

In NBA news the Western Conference Playoff race has become a tight one as has the race out East. I am predicting that top seed in the East will be Indiana and out West it will be Oklahoma City Thunder and I am also predicting that these two teams will reach the finals with the possibility of the Clippers/Rockets playing the spoiler alert as well as Miami/New York Knicks doing the same thing out East. There's nothing I love more than playoff basketball and I recently made my return to the hardwood in an effort to rehab to get ready for next season. Along with myself, former 2-Time All Star Baron Davis is attempting to make a return to the court after nearly 2 seasons as he was last seen playing for the New York Knicks. The trade deadline passed with minimal trades, however one Blockbuster trade moved the Pacers Danny Granger to Philadelphia and brought Evan Turner to Indiana. Big Baby Glen Davis is rumored to most likely sign with either the Brooklyn Nets or the Los Angeles Clippers since his contract was recently bought out. Metta World Peace and Beno Udrih recently had their contracts bought out as well. Man I can't wait till April.


In the world of music Beyonce recently released a Drunk in Love Remix featuring a fairly explicit verse by the one and only Kanye West. Rick Ross's Mastermind will drop March 4th and New York City's rappers are all showing one another love. Maino's K.O.B. mixtape has sold very well via his website and there is rumored to be another ASAPMOB album releasing later this year. Troy Ave, The Lox, and Bodega Bamz are all rumored to be releasing either albums or another mixtape very soon making New York Music relevant again. 

Ladies and Gentlemen it's that time of the year to stack your money and get ready to spend as much time with your family this summer as you can. There are plenty of movies coming out this summer and for all of you college students the internship possibilities are nearly limitless.

As always if you have a topic that you would like to speak on please let me know and continue to email me. Add me on both instagram and twitter @rayhemthedream and I am Rayhem Corbin on face book.

Love is In the Air

Sorry I haven't been able to post anything in almost a month now but better late than ever right? In other news this upcoming Valentine's day there are
set to be a number of mixtapes being released via datpiff.com by a plethora of artists. Also the super fight between George Zimmerman and DMX has been canceled by the celebrity promoter due to the reaction from the public. Early this week Harlem's own Vado dropped his EP Sinatra featuring the hit single "Look Me In My Eyes". Also this year we celebrate 20 years since the release of Nas's Illmatic and 10 years since Kanye West's The College Dropout. These two albums are hip hop classics and Illmatic will have a re-release coming later this year.

http://www.datpiff.com/Vado-Sinatra-mixtape.578959.html

In the realm of NBA news Damian Lillard will make All-Star history by being the first player to compete in all five main events this year. I'm taking Stephen Curry in the 3 point shootout, John Wall in the Dunk Contest, and the West in the All-Star game with Blake Griffin or Kevin Durant taking the MVP trophy home. To leave the NBA for a moment, everyone make sure to purchase the J23 app from Itunes in order to stay up to date on those special edition Valentine's day releases and other promotions such as restocks. All-Star weekend will take place in New Orleans this year and you can expect to see all of your favorite hip hop and R&B artists present at this annual rendezvous of the elite athletes in the sport and the talented artists of our generation.



I just want my readers to know that I do truly care about your input so if there is something you want me to post or something you want to know about me do not hesitate to shoot me an email at mcorbin1214@gmail.com or even hit me up on my Twitter or Instagram page @rayhem1214. I know this post was short but there will be another one soon and I appreciate you guys tuning in for the latest installment of the UrbanWord. P.S. I am looking for a new logo for UrbanWord so send in the submissions and I will choose a winner by February 28, 2014.

Money Make The World Go Round

Back again this week to let my audience know that y'all can start making a lot more money than you have right now. I can get you hooked up with a legal program that will garner you thousands of dollars weekly possibly for a low start up fee of 10 dollars or even as low as one dollar. For those of you that pay 10 dollars you can also learn the language of your choice. Either way this is a very small investment for thousands of dollars to come in your future. Warren Buffet made 37 million dollars per day in 2013 so there is definitely a lot more money out there that you have yet to tap into. 


I will admit I was a bit skeptical about this program in the beginning, however I took the leap of faith and now I am financially stable and I have the ability to make money from the comfort of my home on the computer. It's cold outside and I don't know about you but I prefer making money under my warm blankets than being in an office working a 9-5 with people and their germs. If you guys decide to smarten up and join my money train the link is here

In other NBA news, Gabrielle Union may already be pregnant with her fiancee, Dwayne Wade's, child. The couple got engaged a few weeks back and The Miami Heat are continuing the play excellent basketball heading into a match-up tonight against the New Years revamped Knicks. Point guard Damian Lillard, who I projected to make the all-star team this year, recently set a career high in points scoring 41 in a devastating loss earlier this week. Another notable achievement came from the Cleveland Cavaliers guard C.J. Miles who set a franchise record for threes made in a game going 10/14 from outside the arc capping off a terrific 34 point effort. The Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant has been on a tear lately scoring 48 points and James Harden of the Houston Rocket has scored 37+ points in 3 straights games becoming the first Rocket to do so since Hakeem Olajuwon back in the 1993-1994 NBA season. The red hot Golden State Warriors were stopped in their efforts of becoming the first team to have a 7-0 road trip by the equally hot Brooklyn Nets, whom of which have looked like a new team since the New Year. Sources say Andrew Bynum will most likely sign with either the Miami Heat or the Los Angeles Clippers by Friday. All Star voting has already opened so vote now for who you would like to see in New Orleans

In the Hip Hop realm of things Vado's album entitled Sinatra is the highly anticipated project that's set to drop soon. The lead single for the album featuring Rick Ross and French Montana called "Look Me In My Eyes" and like other things that DJ Khaled touches has already turned to gold. Also to bring in the New Year Rick Ross released a freestyle rapped over Kanye West's Bound 2. Waka Flocka Flame is continuing to tour in Europe and will release a mixtape upon his return to the states. Beyonce will be donating a portion of the proceeds from her song Challenger Disaster the charity of her choice which will be revealed by the end of this week.

That's all the news for now but check in next week for the hottest news and more surprises. As always if you have questions, comments, or concerns do not hesitate to email me.
