Throwback Thursday Jam: Like a Pimp x David Banner

"Like a Pimp" featuring Lil Flip was David Banner's first official single as a solo artist after leaving rap duo Crooked Lettaz. The single from his independently released album, The Firewater Boyz Vol. 1, landed him a deal with Universal Records and in 2003 he released his first major label album, Mississippi: The Album. "Like a Pimp" launched Banner's career peaking at #48 in the Billboard Hot 100 and at #10 in the Billboard Rap charts. Banner has had commercial success in the years since both as an artist and as a producer.

Tupac on Broadway?!

According to the Huffington Post, Holler If You Hear Me, a musical inspired by the music of the late, great Tupac Shakur is in the works. Directed by Kenny Leon, the musical is not autobiographical but rather a story inspired by the lyrics and music of the legendary rapper. Todd Krickler is writing the book and Leon is looking forward to "changing the face of musical theater." Leon is currently casting African-American male and female rappers between 18 to 35 years old and one Caucasian actor/musician between the age of 20 and 25. Workshops for the actors will be held in NYC this summer and Leon is hopeful to be able to bring the show to Broadway in the next Broadway season. A poll on The Huffington Post shows that an overwhelming majority of people are interested in seeing the play, are you?

NEW MUSIC (DOWNLOAD): ROC x The Dream

The Dream is back with "ROC"  the official first single from his upcoming album, Love IV MMXII, which is due out around Memorial Day this year. The album was pushed back after some disputes with DefJam late last year prompting the Atlanta artist to release the very personal  1977 mixtape.

The video for "ROC" was shot in Miami and has a sensual yet feel-good 90's house-party vibe and the song is definitely sexy! The Dream will go on a 17-city tour starting March 7 called Kill the Lights to promote the single and the upcoming album.
