Alicia Keys comes between Swizz Beatz and Mashonda?


Swizz's latest beats are not the hip hop kind that make you bounce bounce on the dance floor. They are rife with tabloid scandal and controversy! The latest rumor says that Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz (sometimes misspelled as Swiss Beats) are having an affair, and that their relationship led to Swizz' separation with his wife Mashonda. But this can be expected of always glamorous, always naughty entertainment industry.

Is it true?

"I can no longer ignore the harmful rumors, that my friend Alicia Keys is in any way linked to my marital circumstances or to the decision that [my wife] Mashonda and I have made to separate," Beatz, Grammy Award-winning producer, tells Us Magazine.

So there you have it ...

Looking for Nas' Hero


The first single from Nas' upcoming "Untitled" LP is out: 'Hero,' featuring Keri Hilson, and produced by Polow Da Don.

If you check out the chorus, you'll see that once again Nas is sticking with more thought provoking subjects ... setting him apart from his more playful colleague and hitmaker, Lil Wayne.

Chain gleaming
Switching lanes
Two-seating
Hate him or love him
For the same reason (wish)
Can't leave it
The games needs him
Plus the people need someone to believe in (this)
So in God's Son we trust
'Cause they know I'm gonna give 'em what they want
They looking for . . . a hero
I guess that makes me . . . a hero

Chi-Town's Finest

Chicago is a great city, recognized for all the extrodinary music that has come out of it during the past few decades.

Some of the best Hip Hop artists of today hail from Chicago. There is Kanye, Common, Rhymefest and The Cool Kids, just to name a few. The Windy City has also provided some of the finest R&B crooners like R. Kelly, Avant and the great Lou Rawls.

Chicago-native Peter Cetera helped form a band in the late 60's who loved the city so much, they actually named themselves Chicago. Just a few years back, the name Chicago was given to both a play and a movie that showcased city life during the 1920's.
There are plenty of great artists from Chicago. Check our site for you favorites, whether it's Jazz, R&B, Hip Hop, or Pop.

Bad Boy Snoop

It seems that Snoop Dogg has been banned from entering the U.K. He recently ran into some trouble, when his entourage started a reported brawl in London's Heathrow Airport.



Whatever hardship Snoop is facing right now still doesn't change the fact that his new Video for Sensual Seduction is topping the charts. The ringtone as well as the mobile video clip are blowing up cell phones everywhere.



It's OK Snoop, we're still here for you in the U.S.!

Pop Divas

Since the birth of popular music, female artists have maintained a constant prescence in the music world. Throughout the decades, there are those special few that come along to help change the face of music, inspiring future generations.

Aretha Franklin emerged as what many people consider to be the 'First Diva’. She was a pioneer who defined soul music. Also, leading the way were Motown artists like Diana Ross and The Supremes. Dionne Warwick also enjoyed a good amount of success.

In the 70's, a young Ann Wilson with her band Heart emerged onto the rock scene. Ann’s voice was so strong that she was often compared to Led Zeppelin front man, Robert Plant. She paved the way for the many female rock bands that would soon follow.

Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson dominated the 80's with numerous Top 40 radio hits. In this decade, many Divas from the past, re-vived their careers in the form of duets. Patti LaBelle, Diana Ross, Aretha and Cher all scored duets with the top males artists of the time. Tina Turner also returned to sell millions of copies of her solo album "Private Dancer" .

The early 90's brought two of the hottest Pop/R&B Divas of all-time, Mary J. Blige and Mariah Carey. With mentors Andre Harrell and Sean “Puffy” Combs helping to mold her sound, Mary was off to a stellar start. She released five smash hits in the first two years of her career and was deemed the "Queen of Hip-Hop Soul". Mariah Carey achieved the most number one hits for any female artist. She has had success as a singer, an actress and remains one of the top voices in music.

Today, Nelly Furtado, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera and Fergie all dominate the radio airwaves, video markets and the fashion industry. With the advent of Ringtones and digital sales now coming into play, the new media has catapulted their status to new measures and has helped to broaden their fan base.
