SPOTLIGHT: Dido (@didoofficial)

I know I’m real late on this, but no matter: one of my favourite artists (or one who used to be) Dido is back with a brand new album, Girl Who Got Away, and above in the latest visual from that offering.

In addition to the above single, Dido also let loose ‘Let Us Move On’ (with Kendrick Lamar, no less) and ‘End Of Night’ (which isn’t officially released as a single until 5th May), of which you can check out the lyric videos to both below.

Kirko Bangz Calls Not Being Featured On ‘I Been On’ Remix “Disrespectful”

092812-shows-hha-2012-follow-kirko-bangz-7

Houston young gun feels like he should have been asked to get on Beyonce’s remix for ‘I Been On’, judging from the interview he had with Chicago’s 107.5 recently. While that may be true, it looks like the focus here was of the legends from H-Town, which could explain the omission; nonetheless, I look forward to the replies that come from this.

There were other topics in this conversation, by the way (including Bangz upcoming album Bigger Than Me).

Is Timbaland (@Timbaland) Working With Shy Glizzy (@ShyGlizzy)?

Could we be seeing DC’s ‘Street’s Hottest Youngin’ Shy Glizzy over a Timbaland beat? Only time will tell. But Timbaland’s right hand man just reached out to Shy Glizzy in a tweet below.
