+ There's a style to the music.
+ There's a fashion to the words.

+ There's a seduction in the sound of Jay West, but what makes it provocative is all within the details.


+ The Jay West Perspective is romantic. The Jay West Aesthetic is tailored. The Jay West agenda is to INSPIRE. “Southern California’s Newest Buzzworthy Artist” is preparing a follow-up to the cult classic mixtape, “Drugs+Candy”. The table is set.


+ Say Grace.

Hump Day Hottie - Vashtie Kola



VASHTIE KOLA
She’s got a face for T.V. but she’s behind the camera. The rumored girlfriend/ ex-girlfriend/ home-lover-friend of Pharrell Williams is not your arm-candy trophy chick. Once the Director of Creative Services for Island/Def Jam she’s worn every hat from producer, coordinator, creative director to stylist…And she’s done it well. Remember that video that dropped for CRS’ “Us Placers”, Yeah she directed that. If you haven’t seen it (catch up) its down below along with some lovely photos of Ms. Kola. Enjoy!







Vashtie Kola
Zodiac/ Age:
Taurus (24 y.o.)
Hometown: Upstate N.Y. / Downtown Albany
Profession: Artist (too many titles, b)
MYSPACE: myspace.com/violettenewyork










DISCLAIMER: I want the ladies to know that the meaning of this post, is not nearly as degrading as the title may let on. The whole “Hump-Day Hottie” thing just sounds catchy. I suppose I could start calling it The “Weekly Wednesday Wifey” but I ain’t changing the game for these hoes (Yo, that was so Imus of me, I do apologize for that last bit.).

Nardwuar Vs. Jay-Z



WOW.
I saw this posted on Nahright.com and I thought it would be a pretty strange interview. I thought Jay was gonna lame him out and give him some short ass answers. Act brand new like a world premiere as it were. This actually was a pretty interesting joint. This guy pulled out all kinda history for the joint. I'm gonna post more Nardwuar. He's an entertaining cat.

Hump Day Hottie - Nikki Jean

The Glow in The Dark Tour was no doubt the tour of the the summer.
Among many other exciting things about the tour, it was soooo dope to see Nikki Jean rock the stage with Lupe Fiasco. Its like I know her. I've never met the woman but she documents her life on YouTube.
In the age of blogging and cyberfame, Nikki has coupled the use of video blogging and actually talent to create a bit of a following just by being an Endearing and Engaging artist with a real passion for the music (view this vid). With over 1 Million total video views, over 160,000 channel views and over 4,400 subscribers (this won her 3 YouTube honors as most viewed musician of the day, most viewed musician of the week and a most viewed musician of the month) she's still never forgets to ask everyone “How are you?”

and she's fine.



Nikki Jean
Born: August 25, 1983 (25 y.o.)
Origin/ Race: IDK! but she is from St. Paul, MN
Profession: Musician, Vocalist, Songwriter, Actress

Color Ups?

ALL THE PRETTY COLORS – Thanx for stopping by. I suppose I should say that more often. Considering all the blogs there are out there, you coulda been anywhere in the world but you’re here with me and I appreciate that. Sometimes in this blog-clogged cyber culture, you may see shit-ton of the same news or shoes or clothes or music, etc. To provide a bit of difference for my blog readers, I’ll solicit some feedback from you guys. Holla back and we can give you more. You may have peeped a few in recent posts these color up things. I’m not sure what to call those posts specifically but I’ll do more. Its kinda fun when I’m bored at work (yes, I have a job. I trap from an office). This whole blogging thing is supposed to have some kinda rules I guess, just like “the scene” but what’s the drilly with that tho? That ain’t banging.
