Watch as my girl, RL Esterline and I speak with Rachel Bilson, Zoe Kravitz, and Derek Lam (above) about his eBay line at his official launch party last month.
Just press play. Find some b-t-s pics below.

Years of watching Serena Altschul on MTV News kind of paid off
(if you disregard that slee’d intro)

WORLD PREMIERE: “Lose Control” – Keri Hilson
(Feat. Nelly)

Love how dirty Keri looks in this vid. A definite song of the summer candidate that I’ve been waiting to be released as a single since her album dropped way back in December. Now’s the perfect time. Hear the latest steel drum summer hit for yourself above.

Miami for the next couple of days… be back soon. xMH

World Premiere: “Private Dancer” – Lloyd

If you were at all into the grumbling grind of Jim Jonsin’s “Motivation” production for Kelly Rowland… you’ll undoubtedly be hooked on this.
It may not be Tina, but, it’s freaky as fuck. Jump on it.

Song of the Day: “On My Way” – Suga Free

I guarantee you this…
There’s really nothing else like a man in a crushed velvet buttondown.

artist spotlite: childish gambino

“Freaks and Geeks” – Childish Gambino

Bet you didn’t know the black dude from NBC’s Community has a rap alter-ego that’s surprisingly good, but, also sounds like an overly energetic Drake. You may have heard this breakthrough track (below) in the background of some FootLocker commercials making the rounds (or not), but regardless, Childish Gambino (or rather NYU alum, Donald Glover) is one to watch – not just due to his strikingly killer tongue, but, the fact that the dude’s only 27 and has more career options going than anyone I can name offhand [...he's one of 30 Rock's lead writers, tours as a standup comedian, acts, produces, DJ's, and raps all in the same breath]. And his horrendous MC name? He was so eager to get on the rap tip, he found it off Wu-Tang’s name generator. Now, that’s next level shit. Remember where you heard it first MF.

artist spotlite: lady


There’s nothing quaint about Lady – she’s gruff rap star, Plies‘ recent sign, her eyelids appear to sit at an unnaturally low position, she sports the longest high-pony of all time, her voice sounds like a southern crack baby, all the while her ‘adult’ subject matter likes to revolve closely around the remnants found at the bottom of one’s garbage can (lady parts, drunk-fucking, butt-eating, ass-clapping, pussy-yanking, etc). To be frank, strippers haven’t had this much of a voice in hip-hop since… well… Khia. And the only redeeming quality Lady attains higher than Ms. Neck and Back herself is the fact that she’s adamant about strapping up before smacking up. And for that, she has my props. Get acquainted with some of her latest low-budg vids making the viral rounds as we speak (below) and be sure to download her mixtape(s) for the ultimate in NSFW dirt-rap springtime fun.
