Drake Rocks NYC

“Buzz so big, I could probably sell a blank disc.” If you don’t know who he his by now, then you might be living under a rock. On Tuesday night, Drake brought the house down at S.O.B.’s in New York City for the Hot 97’s “Who’s Next” concert series. But by all the sold out concerts he’s had already, Drake isn’t who’s next, he’s already here! Drizzy’s fan base is pretty crazy, it was more than just a bunch of teenage girls hoping to catch a glimpse of the Degrassi TV star turned rapper/singer. In the audience were some of the entertainment industry’s elite: Kanye West, MC Lyte, BET’s Stephen Hill and Warner Music Group COO, Julie Greenwald just to name a few. The stage was lit, the venue was packed and Drake definitely put it down. From the smooth sounds of his R&B track “Brand New” to the trancelike flow of “Uptown” (which he performed with Bun B), fans were definitely musically satiated.

MC Lyte’s Executive Decision

Since MC Lyte dropped her first album, Lyte as a Rock in 1988, she has always managed to stay relevant. Whether it be through features, appearances on television, and award shows, MC Lyte has never stopped repping the music as well as the ladies. 2009 though, marks her entrance into another endeavor within the music industry where once again, she can make her mark. As the new Executive Vice-President at Dubose Music Group, MC Lyte is a perfect fit considering her career background and passion for music.

Wasting no time, Lyte has already signed and begin working with new artist Tenille Johnson, a singer/songwriter from Atlanta. “At DMG, we will provide artists like Tenille a platform to showcase their talent and to grow into bona fide R&B superstars,” Lyte says. “I’m thrilled to be working with DuBose to bring soul music to music lovers young and old.” While working on the music careers of others, Lyte will also be occupied with the release of her own album, still under working title “The Second Coming” later this year. As one of the pioneers in the female rap game, Lyte will attempt to reciprocate that same success she received upon her protégé’s within her new field.

A New Era In Politics

The Source was in DC to celebrate President Barack Obama’s historical inauguration.

From the Refresh Hip-Hop event to our own Legends Ball, featuring Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh and Biz Markie, we laughed, partied, cried and reflected during an action-packed week.

The Source, like so many Americans, is feeling a renewed sense of patriotism and hope. We look forward to Obama fulfilling his promise and will be here every step of the way to report the triumphs and even missteps of the new administration.
