Atlantic Records artist Wiz Khalifa, fresh off of the success of his 2012 collaboration with Maroon 5 on "Payphone," Wiz Khalifa has released a new album O.N.I.C.F. that debuted on the Billboard 200 at number 2.
Wiz Khalifa's recently released album O.N.I.F.C. (Deluxe Version) has 22 tracks and features artists 2 Chainz, Akon, Berner, The Weeknd and Juicy J. Wiz Khalifa has the power to bring together a versatile album that stays true to his hip hop roots and his signature at ease rap sound. The album debuted at number two and if not for the record breaking success of Taylor Swift's Red, it is likely O.N.I.F.C would have most assuredly come out on top in the NO. 1 slot of the Billboard charts. O.N.I.F.C. currently sits at No. 36 of the Billboards 200, No. 4 on the Rap Albums chart and No. 6 on the R&B/Hip Hop albums chart. Read More...

P!nk's new video "Try" off her album "The Truth About Love" is a show of her physical, personal and artistic strength. She's painted in war colors and battling through love. It's a testament to fighting for the love of your life, something she has personally done.
Pink is a master at metaphors and from the barren field to the theatrical tribal expressive dance, "Try" tells the story of virtually every relationship and the vulnerability of hearts in love. SEE THE VIDEO -->

“No Honor” EP Released September 4, 2012
by Nicole Hanratty
Via Telephone September 24, 2012
Jade<3 and Jonathan Carmelli are “all about a vibe and an emotion.” Their band, Blind Benny is doing something different and that something is worth following.
Jade<3, songwriter and vocalist was born and raised in New York. She sang in her father’s church and attended La Guardia School of Performing Arts. When this Puerto Rican songstress met up with Jonathan Carmelli, guitarist & producer, they formed a band called Blind Benny. Their music is shaking up the genre of world rock crisscrossing through the pop rock and soul.
Blind Benny’s first EP titled “No Honor,” reflects Jade<3’s obsession with “human behavior.” Each song is soulful and with purpose, an inside look at how love and life collide. Read More...
