I’m sure some of you remember our Artist Spotlight feature on Jaiden from last year. Well this NYC based singer has been on his grind since the last time we spoke on him. He recently got off a run singing back-up for Jay Z’s American Gangster tour and just sent his newest track to Concrete Loop. Dubbing himself “The Cure,” Jaiden definitely has what it takes to bring the R&B game back to the top. “Paradise” was produced by horn player, KeyKat.
For more info on Jaiden make sure to check out our first feature on him, not to mention his myspace page.

Malnutrition and poverty are concerns in Haiti, home to the first independent black republic, especially for the many peasants living in the countryside. But there is hope.

Pulitzer Prize nominee Maya Angelou and Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison are causing quite a stir, as are many other well-known figures throughout America, by making celebrity endorsements of presidential candidates.
Nowadays, it’s easy to capitalize on pretty much anything and that’s exactly what a lot of celebrities are doing.
About 47 percent of Americans between the ages of 18-24 voted in the 2004 presidential election, up from 36 percent in 2000, according to the Census Bureau. But I can’t help but think that “Vote or Die!” had something to do with that.
