Chris Brown has contacted Keri Hilson about working on his new project. As we all should know Keri Hilson started as a songwriter before getting a recording deal. She has written songs for numerous artists including Chris Brown on his debut album, a song titled”Young Love”. They also teamed up for the song “Superhuman” on his last album. Some other artists Keri Hilson has written for include, Ludacris, Usher, Britney Spears and Ciara. Apparently Chris Brown likes working with her because she reports that he called her earlier last week and asked for her help in the studio. Miss Keri Baby was also asked about the Rihanna & Chris Brown drama.. but responded with this statement and beat around the bush a bit…. “It is unfortunate what they are going through, but I always feel like if you’ve ever had a fan base, you’re really only one song away from appeasing that fan base,” she said. ”Whether that song is autobiographical or whether you want to talk about that or not, you’re just one hit song away. And that’s what I think of the industry in a nutshell.” 6.19.09- Jay-Z talks Blueprint 3Friday, June 19th, 2009
It has a tenative set release date of September 11, 2009, which is the same day Blueprint 1 dropped in 2001. “Death of Autotune” Jay-Z’s recent street single has helped create buzz around Jay-Z and his up and coming release. More importantly, the new sensation Drake is on Jay’s first official single off Blueprint 3 titled “Off That”. There has also been speculation about what label Blueprint 3 will drop on… here’s what Jay had to say about that: “Right now, I bought my album back. I overpaid for it,” he noted. “I believe at this point in my career, I wanted to be totally independent and free in what I wanted to do. Def Jam and Universal, they did a beautiful thing in letting me pay. They overcharged me a little bit, but I appreciate all the years they put into my career and all of the hard work I put into what I do. I could never have a record deal. I’m working with Atlantic to distribute the album.” The hip-hop world is patiently waiting for September 11! 6.16.09- Weezy, Jeezy, Drake & Soulja Boy Announce Summer TOUR!!Tuesday, June 16th, 2009
