Mashonda Interview With The Breakfast Club

Mashonda, Swizz Beatz ex-wife, was a featured guest on New York’s Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club talking about her new book “Blend”.

I was able to catch this great interview with Mashonda, who is promoting her new book “Blend”, which is about co-parenting with Swizz Beatz & adding his current wife, Alicia Keys, into this blended family to make the kids happy. I swear this is a subject that I feel as if everybody has went through or knows someone who has.

I feel as if Mashonda has came a LONG way since the days of freshly breaking up with Swizz Beatz. There was so much being put out by Mashonda to the blogs! Her specifically calling Alicia a homewrecker & blaming Swizz for leaving her broke. Now in the year of 2018, Mashonda has finally gotten over her past & is moving forward to assist in providing a lovable family situation for Kasseem.

I have not read the book “Blend” yet, but I do plan to. I want to read the part Mashonda stated how Swizz was unable to attend parent teacher conferences, and Alicia offered herself to go in his place. Like, WOW! I do not know any stepmother aka mommy #2 who has stepped up like that! Mashonda mentioned how after that specific situation, she had no choice but to take Alicia serious & to allow her to be a role model as well as a mother to Kasseem too!

“The key to making this partnership to work was letting all the hurt & disappointments go of my relationship not working” stated Mashonda. Trust that if she did not let the past go, that favorite term of “bitter babymomma” would’ve been the talk of the town and the blogs. Which is sad, for who actually plans to raise a baby on their own? I know I did not.

I give so much kudos to Mashonda & Swizz Beatz for turning their whole relationship around for the sake of Kasseem, and I give kudos to Alicia for being that supportive wife & stepmother which helped Mashonda to view her in a way that allowed her to move on from her past.

Jaden Smith “BACK ON MY SH*T.” [AUD]

Jaden Smith returns with a new banger, titled “BACK ON MY SH*T.”


Fresh from releasing his music video for SYRE cut, “The Passion,” Jaden Smith returns with a new banger, titled “BACK ON MY SH*T.” The song can be found on the soundtrack for Crystal Moselle’s new film, Skate Kitchen, which Jaden also stars in.

“The song is completely inspired by the movie Skate Kitchen that just came out,” Smith told Zane Lowe during his Beats 1 appearance. “It’s about a female crew of skaters that are trying to find themselves, but they realize that their crew is the only thing that really helps them go through the city and feel like they are apart of something.”

Happy Birthday Lil Wayne

I have to send a special happy birthday to one of my favorite rapper to whom I came of age listening to, the legend, Lil Wayne!!!!!

https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js

As a special birthday gift to the world, Wayne will be FINALLY releasing his much anticipated album “The Carter V” at midnight tonight!!! I also found out that Wayne like Diddy, has now joined the liquor making lane, it’s called Bumbo, and is supposed to be a special type of Rum.

https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js

I got hip to his drink while watching the most recent episode of Drink Champs, Noreaga’s hot podcast show and on this episode JaRule and Noreaga was sipping on Bumbo! I noticed they kept saying it was very smooth with a ginger type of taste to give you an island feel. Hey, maybe Wayne wouldn’t mind being sponsors to the Hit or Miss show…got to speak greatness into existence! LOL

Make sure to stay tuned to the blog for New Music Fridays for the Carter V will be dropping at midnight as well as Quavo’s solo album too!

Young Thug – On The Rvn

Young Thug dropped “On The Rvn” over the weekend & already got a few people talking about the 6 song project!

https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js

With features including 6lack, Jaden Smith, T-Shyne & Elton John this is a strong EP for Thug. In my opinion, you can tell that he is evolving with his music while still staying true to himself. I do wish that he included atleast 2 to 3 more songs BUT the anticipation for more music from him is what I crave and keeps me listening. Check out the tracks below & comment your thoughts!

Ella Mai – Trippin

Hey guys! I hope no one is having a “case of the MONdays” today LOL
Anywho…I see that I missed the debut of Ella Mai hot single “Trippin” video on Youtube on Friday!! Well…I got it for you guys today, so my dearest apologies for the delay! Plus, the layout for the video fits how Cleveland’s weather is looking today, too!

I hope you guys enjoyed it like I did! Hey, hopefully I can get some womanly attention tonight off this song LMAO
