Cam Newton did it all this season for the NFL's Carolina Panthers. The quarterback set a rookie record with 4,051 passing yards and a QB record for rushing touchdowns with 14.
Cam enjoyed some well deserved down time on Friday (January 20) as he partied at Club Reign in Atlanta with Young Jeezy and the event's host, Common.
According to TMZ, the star player didn't even have a sip of alcohol. Instead the former Auburn Tiger drank bottled water all night.
The QB will be busy on the football field this Sunday (January 29) as he joins Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees in Honolulu, Hawaii as one of the quarterbacks on the NFC Pro Bowl team.

Having already grossed $48 million on their "Watch The Throne" tour, Jay-Z and Kanye West recently padded their bank accounts with another significant payday for a private show in Dubai before Christmas.
NME reports The Throne earned $6 million dollars to perform at the Sweet 16 birthday party of multi billionaire Manchester Football Club owner, Sheikh Mansour's niece. Hov and Yeezy received $2.9 million each, a drop in the bucket for Mansour, whose wealthy family rules oil-rich Abu Dhabi.
Yeezy's not stopping there. He plans on keeping the cash flowing through the end of the year, having recently announced he'll DJ on New Year's Eve under the alias Yeezy World Peace.
"My New Years DJ name is gone be YEEZY WORLD PEACE! If you book me you have to put YEEZY WORLD PEACE on the E-vite. Or I ain't spinning," Kanye wrote on Twitter. "Ima need a stealth bomber and 2 bottled water #YEEZYWORLDPEACE'S RIDER."
Check out a sample of Yeezy's DJing skills below at the LeBaron club in London from a few nights ago.

Audio After The Jump
It may seem as if Mya has dropped off the face of the earth musically, but nothing could be further from the truth. The singer has been quite busy over the last several years putting out music exclusively in Japan, where her last three albums have been released through her own independent label, Planet 9. Now she feels the time is right to re-introduce herself and her new sound to American audiences.
That re-introduction will come in the form of a deluxe U.S. and Canada version of the album K.I.S.S. (Keep It Sexy and Simple), which will be released December 20.
"It's about being cool and drama-free. And everything I do reflects that," she told Billboard. "The people that I associate with, the circle that I keep is real simple and sometimes we think or we're trained to believe that you always have to have more, more, more to make ourselves feel happy or beautiful, but it's the other way around for me. Simplicity is sexy."
The deluxe version includes four additional songs that are not on the Japanese version, including the recently leaked "Somebody Come Get This B*tch," a track inspired by the gay club scene and "Earthquake" featuring Trina.
Mya told Billboard that you won't see any extensive promotion or music videos for the album. She plans on saving that for her next project which will have less of a J-Pop feel and more of the traditional R&B sound stateside fans are used to hearing from her.
"K.I.S.S. is just a boutique album that I'm offering fans under the radar. If they want it, it's accessible now," she says. "This is just more of an appetizer. I've already started on what people will be looking forward to. I'm still going to put out my mixtapes. I still may do projects in Japan, but my focal point and priority is to bring it back home."

French Montana - The former DVD hustler carved a name for himself this year as one of New York CIty's next elite rappers to blow.

Mac Miller - Miller had a big year with the release of Blue Slide Park a successful tour underway and a ton of buzz.
Machine Gun Kelly - MGK made his jump to the big leauges this year following the release of two major mixtapes including 'Lace Up' then his signing with the house that Diddy built.
