The video for Wiz Khalifa’s “Oh Gee La” depicts a studio session with him, Lola Monroe, and Juicy J recording this freestyle. Of course the scenery is plush with green. Lola Monroe looks real chill…I see she’s fitting in with the Taylor Gang.

DIVA Review: Cherlise: Groundzero


Groundzero begins with Cherlise speaking on what it means to be at ground zero. There are five more instances in which she does this throughout the project as sort of a guide to the listener on where she’s headed with the next songs and how they all tie into being at ground zero. The first song on the mixtape, “Stranger” sets the tone for the project and showcases upfront Cherlise’s vocal abilities and strengths.
Read the full review here and listen/download the project as well.

DIVA Video: Kelly Rowland: “Keep It Between Us”

Kelly Rowland – “Keep It Between Us” from Kelly Rowland on Vimeo.

Kelly releases her video for “Keep it Between Us” with the sexual chocolate drop Lance Gross as her leading man. That alone is enough to make you watch the video but outside of that the video plays out like a movie. It takes place in Paris, France with both of them reflecting on their relationship and all of its goodness. Apparently there is currently some tension and the two take separate walks around the city and end up together. It’s cute and Lance Gross is HOTT!

Underground DIVA of the Week: Cherlise


FROM THE CHURCH TO DIVISON 1 CHERLISE USES HER VOICE TO CONNECT TO YOUR SOUL. THIS HOLLYHOOD SINGER/SONGWRITER IS NOT RESTING ON THE FACT THAT SHE WORKS WITH RICO LOVE, FAT JOE, AND LIL WAYNE. SHE’S PUSHING HERSELF TO SOLIDIFY HER ROLE AS THIS GENERATION’S FEEL GOOD ARTIST. YOU CAN JAM WITH HER OR SLOW IT DOWN WITH HER BUT YOU’RE GUARANTEED TO FEEL HER. SHE’S THE GIRL FROM YOUR BLOCK PENNING MUSIC TO SATISFY YOUR R&B FIX. THEHIPHOPDIVA SPOKE WITH CHERLISE ABOUT BEING A PREACHER’S KID, HAVING NINE SIBLINGS, AND HER LINKING UP WITH MUSIC INDUSTRY HEAVYWEIGHTS.

When asked about her relationship with Fat Joe here’s what she had to say:

Well, I and Joe are really, really close. It’s funny because he’s been blowing my phone up about this mixtape. I’ve known Joe for like three and a half years now. He’s always known I can sing. He’s always known I could write. But for some reason with this mixtape he’s just a believer. It’s a very humbling experience. It’s funny because when we did the song “I’m So Ready” on “Groundzero” he texted me about how much he loved the record. I had to text him back and say sometimes I think I forget who I’m dealing with because I’m so close to you. But I’m really dealing with a legend. When you’re around somebody all the time sometimes you forget that. He really makes me forget it because he’s so humble and down to earth. I’m so thankful for him.

DIVA Video: Estelle: “Thank You”


I have rocked with Estelle since before she was signed and was in London rapping on a stoop. But this right here is boring. I barely even paid it any attention. Whatever happened to her rapping? If this is any indication of what her album is going to be like I’m not excited….snoozefest.

DIVA Video: Nicki Minaj: Stupid Hoe


Nicki’s blatantly firing shots…no subliminal shots here and she’s the female Weezy if you didn’t know. On another note, her singing “You a stupid hoe” at the end of the song is like R. Kelly singing “your boo-ooty” at the end of “Feeling on Your Booty”. Who would have ever thought anyone would sing those words?
