Kenna x Shimmy Hoffa (Chad Hugo) – Chains (Video)
I wondered where this guy’s been and if he was still working with Chad Hugo:
Land 2 Air Chronicles I : Chaos And The Darkness, the darkest of the three, depicts the struggle to break free of the “Chains†that prevent vision coming to life or taking flight, and thus was born the first single “Chains†featuring Shimmy Hoffa aka Chad Hugo of the Neptunes, co-written by Paul Banks of Interpol. The song is a dance floor anthem that reflects Kenna’s bravado and history; a step out of the shadows and into the spotlight with a new found sound and confidence, a build up that the world has been salivating for without a leader for the movement. Land 2 Air signifies more than just music – it’s an answer to the question that the world and record industry are constantly asking: What’s next?
Soulja Boy Signing With Cash Money ?
Souija Boy tells Rap-Up about the possibility of the move and his recent meeting with Birdman.
“I met with Baby and Slim down in Miami. He’s trying to get me to come over to Cash Money. I still got paperwork with Interscope Records, so I’m just trying to figure out what I’ma do. I got a lot of great options on the table. I’ve been a fan of Cash Money since I was young. I’ve been listening to Birdman’s music since I was growing up. I would have never thought. I’m taking it into consideration. Birdman, we really had a good talk when we met. But I’m still young. I’m only 20 years old. So after I do these two albums, I either have the choice to go back to Interscope and re-up, do my contract over, or I can go down to Miami with Cash Money.â€

Biggie’s Courtship Techniques
Ever wonder why Biggie got all the Hunnies Puff tells you how….
What was he like around women?
What was he like around women?
Around women he was a charmer. He didn’t really make the first move, and a lot of times it just happened from, “Pleased to meet you.†He would get introduced to people and when he said “pleased to meet you†to a girl it rang a different way. I guess they was caught off guard by how much of a gentleman he was, how smooth he was and also how he didn’t try to continue on the conversation. That made her feel comfortable. They’d lay in the cut, something else would happen, and then they’d start laughing. They’d see the humor and it was a wrap.
What is your most vivid memory of Biggie?
When I think of him I think of him sitting in a room by himself, rocking back and forth, smoking a blunt down almost to the roach of it, doing that for hours in deep thought while writing. His mouth is not moving, he’s not mimicking what he’s going to do in the booth. It was him in deep, spiritual rap meditation.
Listening to him rhyme, he always seemed so worldly.I don’t know where he got that stuff from … I don’t really understand how he knew all that stuff. I never saw him reading a lot of magazines, reading a lot of books, watching a lot of TV, watching a lot of movies. I think he was just put on the earth this way.
