The reason I’m so excited about Reason is he just joined my small conglomerate of DOPE producers that I work with. He produced 2 songs for my upcoming EP “Love, Crimes + Rhymes” and according to the industry critics who have heard our joints together– he’s a genius. Well I want you to get to know his genius too! And while you’re at it– check out a few of his music videos after the jump. And don’t say Aunty Cocoa never gave y’all nothin! >>>>

Last week– our friend Taz Arnold came to NYC with his team to meet and greet the fans of his work and his brand. For those of you who MIGHT be unfamiliar with Taz, you should be ashamed lol. He’s probably inspired your favorite artist…… Taz is best known as the founder of high-end streetwear label TI$A, world renowned fashion icon, 1/3 of the hip-hop group SA-RA, and frequent design-collaborator of luxury brand MCM…. But that is just the beginning!! He is also a fashion consultant for the likes of KANYE WEST, BIG SEAN, and many many others. He is the consultant for West’s PASTELLE brand, and  he is also one of the most popular vintage Ralph Lauren collectors in the world. So if you don’t know, now you know! He made his highly-anticipated appearance at COMMUNITY 54 boutique in NYC. He also performed with MAJOR at their after-party. I was there for all the magic and took some shots of Taz– his team MAJOR + BAILEY, ASAP ROCKY, and several other models, friends, fans and observers. CHECK IT OUT :

Good friend Nicky — founder of Money Banks Clothing is one to watch out for. Hailing from New Jersey, the east-coast native’s gear can be seen on some of today’s hottest music acts….

Known best for his “BIG DREAMS” tee’s and sweatshirts, he certainly has a lot more to offer as far as clever + fashionable graphic design. I wore the piece below in my music video “On 2 the NXT 1″. The piece fits comfortably with the MONEY BANKS logo emblazed on the front :

MOB WIVES Karen Gravano + Ramona Rizzo dish the dirt on the beef with Drita and the reason why everyone fell in love with THE MOB WIVES… PS : Ramona is bout it! LOL WATCH :

Controversial hip-hop couple Jim Jones + Chrissy Lampkin were on Angie’s show this week talking marriage plans, and life after the “reality”. Check it out :

A few moments ago, Amber Rose released her first single on PerezHilton.com. The song is called “Fame” and it features her boo Wiz Khalifa. The song is catchy, and pop-y and safe. I actually thought she’d go left, but it’s cute. Good job, Amber! It’s better than I thought it’d be. Curious to see what your project will turn out like– I hope we hear something with a bit more edge that matches your persona more than this. She seems like a fierce diva, this song seems so cutesy. Too safe for her. I mean, the super-sweet pop thing is cute, but I want more depth!

Check it out, and the jump!
