THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
It's snowing over in New York City. Let me re-phrase that it WAS snowing this morning and fortunately it stopped. The calm before the storm---I hope not! Pictured above is new talent straight from NYC Lil' Mama. Keep reading to find out about her.
Ne-Yo's "Because of You" Album Listening Party was held last night at NYC hotspot, Arena. Jay-Z, Jacque Reed and Stephen Hill of BET, Ty Ty, and June Ambrose were all in attendance. [pics by J. NUNEZ]
Former BET Nightly News anchor Jacque Reed came out of hiding alongside her boss, Stephen Hill. Check out Miss June Ambrose. Word has that Miss Ambrose is not feeling Life & Style magazine's fashion faceoff spins at all!
TyTy, Jay-Z's best friend, was there.
Speaking of Ne-Yo, RAP-UP.COM has released another track from his upcoming album. The leaked Ne-Yo track is called, "Drugz" and it features a Luther Vandross' "If Only For One Night" which Bow Wow sampled on "Let Me Hold You."
Ne-Yo - “Drugz” [LISTEN]

Down at another NYC hotspot Spy, Lil Flip had his Album Release Party with Chamillionaire in attendance.
Trey Songz’ video for “Wonder Woman” premiered on BET’s “Access Granted” tonight. The Danja and Timbaland produced track is the first single off Trey Day (June 12).
And now onto the earlier picture of New York's latest young female MC...
Lil Mama’s new album “Voice of The Young People” hits stores later this year. In the meantime, check out her new song, "Lip Gloss." When I heard this on the radio I said I can't wait for the remix, lol!
“We Takin’ Over” is the first single off DJ Khaled’s We The Best (June 12). The song features Akon, T.I., Rick Ross, Fat Joe, Baby, and Lil’ Wayne.
Akon's voice is just borderline annoying to my ears but I can't knock his hustle.
Speaking of Rick Ross, here's a dope remix to "We All In"
featuring Money Malc, Dre (from Cool & Dre), and DJ Khaled - "We
All In (remix)" [LISTEN]
50 Cent has admitted to Hot97 exclusively that Olivia has been dropped from G-Unit and now it seems that Young Buck may been in the same boat as The Game. [LISTEN]
[shout out to Nick!]
And now onto the story everyone's talking about this morning---Whitney and Bobby's April finalized divorce. Word has it that Whitney WILL get custody of their daughter Bobbi Kristina. "Whitney Houston's 14-year marriage to Bobby Brown will officially end this month, and she will get custody of their teenage daughter, a judge ruled Wednesday. The singer dabbed her eyes with a tissue as Orange County Superior Court Judge Franz E. Miller ruled that the divorce will become final April 24. Brown did not attend the hearing." [Yahoo!]
Bobby however did do a public outing with his soon-to-be ex wife Whitney and daughter Bobbi last month. The pair was last seen having a birthday dinner party at Mr. Chow's for Bobbi Kristina...
