Rhapsody Music & Service :: Discovered and Uncovered.
This is the most respected and feared indian in all of Rhapsody. He lives inside the program, only arising when you want to cancel your account. He beats you with his diamond encrusted FR3SH goblet.
Common and Kanye’s previous collaborative effort, 2005’s Be, felt like a (pleasant) retreat to hip-hop’s mid-’90s formative years. Finding Forever alludes to new directions, recruiting UK pop princess Lily Allen for the excellent “Drivin’ Me Wild” and sprawling into epic soul pomp on the seven-minute “Forever Begins.” Lyrically, Common delves into his signature subject: the promise of spirituality and love in a world dominated by institutions and prejudices. Each song feels connected to the last, and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, a rarity for rap.

DJ Khaled released his album “We the Best” June 12 and has managed to secure himself a #1 position in Billboard music’s Top 100 Independant Albums.
DJ Khaled raps a tale i’ve heard many times before. Rhyming of coming from nothing, being the best, ruling the streets, dealing ‘cain and finally getting respect. The beats are good and the rhymes smooth but the lyrics lack originality.
Have a listen and see for yourself:

The Shop Boyz from Atlanta dish out their own version of Crunk with the hit single, “Party Like a Rockstar” making me wish I had a diamond encrusted goblet to drink my crunk juice from while listening to this party hopping anthem.
Party Like a Rockstar is rolling deep with the #2 position on the Billboard Music Charts.

Talent, beauty and being in the right place at the right time brought Rihanna to signing a deal with Def Jam when most kids her age were just getting their license. Rihanna was discovered by producer Evan Rogers, who was visiting Barbados in 2003, and went on to so impress Def Jam CEO Jay-Z that he immediately signed her to the label. Her first single, “Pon De Replay,” was released in June 2005, with the full album Music of the Sun dropping in August 2005. Her big break came in 2006 with the release of the single “S.O.S.” and the subsequent album A Girl Like Me. The single, which sampled Soft Cell’s” Tainted Love,” was one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially popular songs of that year. Though Rihanna had basically moved away from dancehall, she was moving toward a new aesthetic that married R&B, synth pop and hip-hop. She’s continued in this direction bringing 2007’s Good Girl Gone Bad, featuring the hot addicting singles “Umbrella” and “Shut Up and Drive.”

It looks likes Russia has issued a new law banning the sale of DVDs, videocassettes and music CDs from its street markets and kiosks. It’s a further sign that the Kremlin is getting serious about combating piracy as coveted membership in the World Trade Organization moves closer.
Who needs CD’s when you have Rhapsody?

This from the topix music review
” Instead, it belongs to the Atlanta producer Polow Da Don. Polow produced or co-produced more than half of the album’s songs, and he’s releasing the album on Zone 4 Inc., his vanity label.”

David Kirkpatrick, Fortune magazines senior editor writes in an article January 22 that Rhapsody is the future of music. “…Rhapsody, not iTunes, in my opinion, is the future of music….” Read his story here.
Rhapsody rocks! It’s the “Jukebox in the sky.” as Rob Glaser, Real’s CEO says. The service was originally designed for use on a PC but now supports portable mp3 players like the Sansa. Rhapsody allows users anytime access to an Internet library of over three million songs, including many that have never been commercially released in the United States. Rhapsody subscribers, who pay $10 a month for unlimited access, today listen to about 130 million songs per month.
