"One Day" - Fabulous New Peace-Themed Song by Hasidic Jewish Reggae Singer Matisyahu

Matisyahu has quickly become one of my favorite singers. The man's music has tremendous soul, great melody and some wicked, wicked rhythm. Matisyahu is set to release a new album titled LIGHT featuring the peace-themed single “One Day” on August 25, 2009.

Matisyahu's wiki states, "Matthew Paul Miller (born June 30, 1979), better known by his Hebrew name Matisyahu, is an American Hasidic Jewish reggae musician.

Known for blending traditional Jewish themes with Reggae, rock and hip hop sounds, Matisyahu is most recognizable for his single "King Without a Crown", which was a surprise Top 40 hit. Since 2004, he has released two studio albums as well as one live album, two remix CDs and one DVD featuring a live concert. Through his career, Matisyahu has worked with Bill Laswell and reggae producers Sly & Robbie".

Funky Rude Man is hip-hop, funk and jazz all rolled into one and it is simply magnificent! I really love this work!

50 Cent Launches His Own Social Networking Site


Rap star 50 Cent has launched a social networking site called ThisIs50.com. Now artists such as 50 Cent, who already have a massive presence on MySpace, are branching out to create their own social networking websites. Even thought 50 has around a million "friends" on MySpace, with his own website, he gains a level of control on his fans that he does not have at other social networking sites. He can, for instance email his fans whenever he wants about upcoming events and include all kinds of ads on the email or offer paid downloads, merchandise etc, etc.

The Thriller dancers who got the attention of so many people when they broke out dancing in a London train are at it again. This time they performed in front of an unsuspecting crowd in London's Chinatown and at a bus stop. Are these dancers part of an effort to create a buzz in anticipation of Thrillers 25th anniversary?

Should Google Worry? Kanye West Has A Search Engine.



Is Kanye West the new Google? Not quite, but thanks to his latest venture he's definitely one step closer to omnipotent global domination.

Say hello to Koogle (not the real moniker, but shouldn't it be? The official name is the-less-than titillating "Search With Kanye West"), the Murakami-loving Louis Vuitton Don's newly launched search engine, powered by Google and Ask. Here's the Kanyetastic part of the new site: using his search tool can earn you Swag Bucks, a sort of digital currency that can be redeemed for merch like autographed albums, turntables, gift cards and iPhones.

Ironically enough, this announcement comes just after he released several pages from his new advice book, Thank You and You're Welcome, one of which included the phrase "Be Leery of the Free Gift Bag." Should we be worried? Perhaps, but I'm too busy searching to care -- only 2498 more Swag Bucks 'till a free Coachella ticket!

Kanye West's search engine's name is "Search with Kanye West"
