Here’s the visual for Thrillerphone.

We tore the computer apart and rebuilt it so my music sounds the way its supposed to.

“What I stand here and represent is hope for Brooklyn, New York City. I’m a son of Brooklyn, I’m from Marcy projects.” Jay said. “I think about growing up in Brooklyn in the Marcy projects and shooting jump shots, thinking I can make it to the NBA. Now I stand here as an owner of team that’s coming back to Brooklyn. The pride in that, and bringing that dream so much closer for people, brings me so much pride I get a little nervous about it. But I’m very happy, very excited about this day. And we did it again Brooklyn — shout out to [Notorious] B.I.G.”

After the conference, Jay-Z and company officially broke ground, breaking out the hard hats and lightly shoveling dirt. The confetti rained down.

“It was a long process,” Jay said after the ceremony, with his “Empire State of Mind” playing in the background. “It’s a sensitive one. I’m from the people. I’m for the people. I could never be opposed to the side of the people. But this project, when you look at the numbers at the end of the day, was so overwhelmingly in favor of the people: the job creation, the housing that’s being built. It was difficult; you had to tread through that process lightly. But we’re here, it’s a fantastic day and it’s a celebration. It’s a beautiful day in Brooklyn and the hope that’s represented — on a small scale — is the same I felt when I saw Obama run for president: That we can be a part of something so grand.” – MTV

Love the visual on this one. She’s got a great sound + crossover appeal.

From her Website:

Singer/Songwriter, Sultry and Sexy Poetess, are just a few ways to describe Ruth-Ann Brown, one of Jamaica’s newest reggae artistes.  Having started her charge on the reggae scene in 2005, five years later, Ruth is proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the industry.  Singing with the influences of  Sade, Sinead O’Connor, Dennis Brown and the Marley Family, Ruth has gained a strong fan base in the USA, Jamaica and several other countries.  Ruth signed with Bran-Nu Entertainment in 2007 and subsequently released two singles ‘Unfamiliar Feelings’ and ‘Chillin’ with My Baby’ which have gained increasing popularity.  ‘Unfamiliar Feelings’ is also available in video on www.vimeo.com/Brannuent.

Both singles, as well as her five-song EP, are available for download on I-Tunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, E-music, and Napster.

Share your thoughts on Ruth in the comments.

I’m very very excited for ya’ll to check out the new Just Wright trailer. I really dig it and can’t wait for it to come out May 14. (It’s my first lead ya’ll!) Check out my hoopin skills and let me know what you think. I’m writing now and working with No I.D. and I’m also working on a pilot for a tv show that deals with wrongly accused convicts.
