26-year old Sevyn Streeter has helped write records for Chris Brown, Brandy, Kelly Rowland, Alicia Keys and Estelle. She is now ready to step into the limelight and show off her own talent.
Newly signed to Chris Brown's CBE label, here is her music video for the single "I Like It."
Nelly drops off a very pop oriented new single "Hey Porsche" to get the year started. The St. Louis rapper should be coming out with a new album later this year. No idea if this song will be attached to that project.
Ed Lover is back with another edition of his "C'Mon Son" series. Ed runs down all of the hot topics on 2012 including Manny Pacquiao's knockout loss, Mitt Romney, the NFL's "bountygate," Chris Brown, Rihanna, Honey Boo Boo, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Tom Cruise, "Gangnam Style," Katt Williams, Lil Wayne's jeggings, Blue Ivy Carter, Nicki Minaj Vs.

Azealia Banks has been in more Twitter beefs than any artist in the history of the social networking site.
The Harlem, New York emcee has beefed with Jim Jones, Kreayshawn, Angel Haze, T.I., Iggy Azalea, Dominique Young Unique, Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj.
At this point her constant Twitter bickering is starting to overshadow her music career. Last night she added celebrity blogger Perez Hilton to the list. During their spat she called Perez a f*ggot. Hilton is a known homosexual. In today's world of political correctness, Azealia may come to regret typing that slur.
It all started after Perez tweeted Azealia, criticizing her for her feuds with other female rappers. Azealia replied by telling Perez: "Get the f*ck outta here d*ckbreath. U were just riding my cl*t yesterday.... Kick rox."'
From there it spiraled out of control.
In one tweet she asked: "Does your butthole whistle? Like is your butthole so stretched and raggedy the air whistles when you move?"
"Sweetie, you're not ignorant. You know you shouldn't call me the F word," Perez replied at one point. "That AND wishing I die? You hoping I get AIDS next?"
Lil Wayne is getting ready to face off in court with Quincy Jones III for a second time.
Wayne sued QDIII last year for releasing a documentary that he called a "scandalous portrayal" of him. Weezy also claimed that his music was used in The Carter documentary without his permission.
Wayne was unable to testify in the November 2012 trial due to travel restrictions after suffering two seizures. His lawyers were forced to use his bizarre deposition video in which he refused to answer questions as his testimony.
A Los Angeles jury ruled against the Young Money boss.
To make matters worse, QDIII counter-sued Wayne for breach of contract and won. As a result Wayne was ordered to pay him $2,195,000.

TMZ is reporting that Wayne's legal team has filed documents declaring his intent to appeal the jury's decision. He's got a month to file the actual appeal itself.
Without question Meek Mill had a 2012 to remember. The Philly emcee dropped the impressive Dreamchasers 2 mixtape, as well as his debut album, Dreams and Nightmares.
Meek looks to keep the momentum going in 2013 by releasing the mixtape, Dreamchasers 3. Expect lots of production on the project from super producer Jahlil Beats. Jahlil tweeted a pic of him and Meek putting in work at the studio.
Dipset Capo Jim Jones has been through many trials and tribulations throughout his career. He addresses many of those situations in his latest Vampire Life remix.
Ludacris is prepping the release of his eighth studio album Ludaversal later this year. Today he offers up the remix to the album's second single "Representin'" featuring R. Kelly and Fabolous.
What do you think of the remix. Is it better than the original which featured Kelly Rowland?

Troy Ave A.K.A. Harry Powder is out in California handling some business. While out there he decides to throw a Brooklyn keymix on Dr. Dre's 1999 classic "Xxplosive" off of the Chronic 2001 album.
Ever since photos surfaced of Coco and AP.9 cuddled up in Las Vegas last month, the question everyone wants an answer to is did they do more than just take pictures.
Coco and her husband Ice-T have apparently moved past the situation that caused a temporary rift in their marriage. Ice initially reacted angrily on Twitter after seeing the photos.
She's made me look.. And feel like sh-t. I say this on Twitter because there's no way to avoid the obvious misconduct of a married couple," he said at the time.
Coco issued a public apology for taking the inappropriate photos and on New Year's Eve the couple celebrated 12 years of being together by renewing their wedding vows.
The issue is far from over though. AP recently called into The Murder Master Music Show to chop it up with Prezident Bejda about what went down and more.
"The pictures are worth a thousand words. If motherf*ckers can't see through that they're blind to the world. They're blind to a lot of sh*t," The Mob Figaz rapper said, before hinting that he has a big surprise in store. "In a day or two I'm finna shock the world, that's all you need to know. Stay tuned, I'm gonna shock the world and it is what it is.".
AP has reportedly been shopping naked pics of Coco he claims he took of the reality star.
"AP.9 has said he has pictures of Coco with him in a private room in Vegas and he said in some of them she doesn't have any clothes on!" a source told RadarOnline.com."He's been putting feelers out to see if people want to buy the pictures because he claims they are really salacious and that a lot more happened with Coco then just them posing in a night club!"
The West Coast rapper told Prezident Bejda he would physically put in work on Ice-T if the "Original Gangster" stepped to him.
"Ice-T don't won't no problems with me. I'll beat his old a$$," AP said. "You already know what it is. That n*gga don't want no problems with me. I hope he listening right now. My n*gga, I will beat the sh*t out of that old a$$ man. I don't know Ice-T. Nothing against Ice-T, I don't know him. He threw his little shots at me on Twitter because of his wife. Come on man... I'm a real gangster. I done took 12 bullets. I done been through the whole sh*t. I'm well respected everywhere. I fear no man but God."
AP dropped one more bombshell before the interview was finished. When asked a question about the Kardashians, he claimed he's already blown Kim Kardashian's back out.
"I done already had Kim Kardashian and all them b*tches. That ain't nothing new. That b*tch is old news. People that know me know I've already had that b*tch," he revealed.
