Santana Fox is definitely doing big things as an emcee quickly making a name for herself. Her latest single, "Play It Safe," is produced by Reuel StopPlaying.
Prodigy would be proud to see his daughter keeping his legacy alive.

After taking a step away from music for two years, TtheGAWD knew exactly what he wanted to accomplish with the I Am GAWD album. Alongside Chicago producer Max Julian, TtheGAWD convincingly displays the tenacity of his penmanship, his ear for solid production as well as the ability to tell engaging stories through songs. I Am GAWD is an ode to the mid to late ‘90s, grimey New York era, combined with his personal experiences growing up in Chicago’s inner city.
“I Am GAWD is for the struggling artists with all the talent in the world who just want to be heard. For the emcees and producers who are constantly told to switch their sound because this style of music is no longer profitable. For the underdog and avid Hip-Hop head in general.” — TtheGAWD
TtheGAWD set out to rediscover who he is as an emcee and artist with I Am GAWD. No autotune. No formulaic song structure. No redundant content. Just a masterful display of a level of art that's not really being heard on a large scale from Chicago at the moment. The title says it all: I Am GAWD — which translates to “I Am Getting Ahead Without Devolving.” Meaning, he won't compromise who he is to get where he's going.

Chris Brown's career is at a crossroads. The singer's last album, 2009's 'Graffiti' wasn't the commercial success he had hoped. And coming on the heels of his physical assault of then girlfriend Rihanna maybe that backlash from fans should have been expected.
Feeling like pop radio has abandoned him, the R&B star has gone in a totally different direction on his new mixtape 'Fan Of A Fan'. A collaborative effort with Young Money rapper Tyga.
A new video from the tape for the song "No Bullsh*t" is already stirring controversy and dividing some of his long time fans because of it's sometimes R-rated content.
The video shows Chris getting his "grown man" on with a young lady. With shots of him licking, kissing and doing other things that you usually don't see in a music video. Especially one from the usually more reserved Chris Brown.
As one fan, hupakoe05 wrote in the comment section of the video on youtube.
"it's one thing to grow up... it's another to sell out.... be different...you have to put out a ass-licking video cause everybody else is? smh"
Another fan, tashatambara had a completely different take on it
"Chris BREZZY IS THE SHIT... I LOVE HIM so much.. this song got me... Good video .. i love his dance steps.. every move and heart beat was so passionate... for all d negative comments on dis video, y'll shud appreciate hardwork and dont hate... cos Chris is Fly, and y'all probably not even by the terminal....."
Chris addresses his fans on Twitter about the video, writing, "just so u know.. all these videos r for you.. the fans. Ive never done it for the industry or approval of my peers(other artists) i do it for u... everyone else can just follow my lead".
Every artist with a teen fan base like a Chris Brown or a Miley Cyrus has to make a decision to either keep making bubbly pop songs or try to gain an adult audience.
Looks like Chris has made his decision, now he has to hope the fans will be ok with it.
