As we reported, Keri Hilson is covering Trace Magazine’s annual “Black Girls Rule!” issue. Here are some of the photos from Keri’s shoot. She looks absolutely amazing.
Keri’s debut album, In A Perfect World… is set to release September 23rd. On the album, she’s working with Polow Da Don, Timbaland, Cory Bold, and her single “Energy,” is produced by The Runaways. From what I’ve heard, it’s a great project and I can’t wait for her. Make sure you support our girl Keri and show her some love.
CRAZY FAN INTERRUPTS SOLANGE SHOW
Solange performed her new single, “I Decided” at the Soul Picnic 2008 festival this past weekend in the States, after a short promo stint in London.
During the performance, a fan evaded security and joined Solange and her two back-ups on stage. Solange didn’t seem phased or frightening, and actually made the guy a part of the set. It was funny, because you can hear the security getting a little frazzled during her set.
Solange has been doing a lot of performing to promote her sophomore album, SoL-Angel & the Hadley Street Dreams, due out August 26th! Make sure you check out some more of her performance footage on her MySpace!
MISSY’S BLOCK PARTY PUSHED BACK
Missy Elliott fans are going to have to wait a little longer than the expect for her new album, Block Party. Her 7th studio album, Block Party is the follow-up to 2005′s The Cookbook. It’s been 3 years since her last release, but she made a quick splash back into the scene this year with singles “Ching-A-Ling” and “Shake Your Pom Pom,” which both appeared on the Step Up 2: The Streets motion picture soundtrack. She also leaked the Danjahands-produced single, “Best Best” from her new album.
Rap-Up.com has learned exclusively that Missy needs more time to record the album, even after mention of a September release date. Atlantic Records is currently looking to release the album sometime in November, around Thanksgiving but no release date has been confirmed.
I’m thinking that the label wasn’t pleased with the response that “Best Best” got, and they’re probably trying to get a new single. Missy hasn’t failed me, so I think she’ll be fine. All she has to do is put out a super innovative video, and give us a good feature, and she’ll be alright.
LOL AT SOLANGE
I Love Her Swag
Solange handled it well, btw I believe the guy may have been mentally handicapped, he didn’t seem drunk or high……………….
BET robbed Trina of her award when they gave it to Missy. I can’t wait until Solo’s album drops. That Keri chick is pretty and that’s it.
HILSON IS LIKE TOP 5 IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW…
Nice pics of Keri, she is talented
Wow, that was actually very nice of Solange to play it off like that. Knowing if it was Beyonce, she would have gave him a mean stare and have security yank him off the stage. Vocals were amazing! She real cool, I think I will check out her album.
love the green dress and the pink lipstick on keri hilson
I’m surprized she actually sounded good. Although the proformance was little bland. Good thing dude was there it gotta better because of him. It was going down hill fast…
LOL@ the guy, he was into her show he wasn’t hurting nobody, Solange did handle it well. Yea but I agree with #5 cuz Beyonce would of been had him kicked off stage since she acts like such a diva. But Solange and Beyonce are definitely two different people.
Keri looks beautiful in her pics, such a pretty girl
Missy who cares….
Im so happy for solange. She’s finally getting the recognition that she deserves, she is not beyonce and people think since she’s not shaking nothing or showing skin she’s wack and she’s actually a good artist… Oh yea im digging the fit and they could have left ol’ boy off the stage lol
KERI LOOKS SO HAUTE!
SOLANGEY HANDLED DAT VERY WELL.
SHE MADE ME LOVE HER AGAIN.
Keri, looks like LaLa from MTV. N the last photo.
Nice Updates Concretloop
KERI LOOKS AMAZINGGGG…
and i definitely just became a fan of solange!!!!
i admire solange for that one, because most people would have acted as if he were a disease on the stage. so nice one for that and as for missy album, they’re killing me. i have been anticipating this album for like 2 years, since the cookbook was amazing, and now their pushing it back, the management needs to get to together.
Keri Hilson looks good in those photos..
That was sweet of her… glad he did not do anything foolish… but she handled it very well…. song is okay too…
Wonder what the new Missy album will be like…
Nourish the soul nourish the mind
Because of how Solange handled that, I really like her now. And her Louboutins. She has a very classy-homegirl type person, and its really cute. She’s like your best friend, who’s a lil hood, just borderline cute, but always the center of attention cause she has personality. I like her. And she has a very stable and strong voice, which is great….just needs to work on her entertaining skills a little more, moving around , feeling and looking more stage-ready and comfortable. With time!
SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!
I love Solange’s song….I hope whatever her next single is, it’ll be good, cuz then I might cop that album. and LOL @ ‘ol boy who interrupted her performance. He was serious about it with those jean shorts, church shoes and no socks.
Move over Bey and the others……….Here Comes Solange!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is doing her thang can’t wait 4 the album
that was so sweet of solange that really makes me look at her different seriously,
This song is nice. It’s kind of making me want to hear it again. At first I couldn’t get into her. I dig.
But back to the matter at hand. This was staged. It’s so obvious, the security took way to long to respond. Security is usually strict as hell no matter where you go (clubs or concerts). Also the person filming is on stage, and they signaled way too late to have the “fan” removed. If I was part of the crew filming and saw a random guy in a bright red shirt get into my POV I would’ve said something that second.
They barely let you rest your arms on the barricade in front the stage in a club when there’s an artist. What makes you think they’re going to let someone of that size get past security and dance with Solange (Beyonce’s sister). Im sure they had to be even more tight at this venue. Mathew does not play.
I like how Solo handled home boy on stage!
She was very professional about da situation!
LOL@ homeboy he was dancing his @ss off!
i just gained a new found respect for Solange. that was really nice of her to allow him to stay on the stage with her. like someone said earlier..he clearly wasnt drunk or high. he’s somewhat challenged. if it was her sister..ohh boy..that guy would be in an alley somewhere.
he was just having a good time. shes coolER to me now..lol
Keri is Amazingly Beautiful. TRACE staff styled her well, and with Keri’s natural
beauty and a great photographer, made this a clean CLASSIC photoshoot &
awesome mag cov—it could woork for Vogue ,Vibe, or Vixen.
Love It, A+.
Ciao,

Keri looks goood.
Solange is tooo heavy – Kudos.
Missy Elliot just had a blessing in disguise because ‘Best, Best’ is the worst choice of a lead single she has ever had (in terms of a comeback record).
But I will always support her.
Keri’s pictures are perfection!!!
Oh please no one knows what Bey would have done if some random man came up to the stage.
Yeah he turned out to be harmless but you never know. Does that make Solange special cause she let a individual up on stage?
Plus Solange hasnt reached huge superstar status like the Mariah’s, Beyonce’s, and Britney’s so it would be perfectly understandable if any of them were hesitant let a random dude on stage with them. Artist like them have stalkers. Solange doesnt have stalkers cause she isnt that famous….yet.
Was homeboy texting on his phone after the first time Solange came over? Hahahahaha
Life is odd, son. Life is odd.
Best Best is da shiit!
keri looks great!! n that was cool of solange
Soloange played that off like a pro. I wish her success with the new album.
@ 24… Just because she isn’t as “famous” as Mariah, Janet, Bey, etc, doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have stalkers. Regular people have stalkers also, so your claims make no-sense… She’s not as stuck up as B & she obviously had no problem with him, so she is special for the fact that hardly ANY artist would let random people on stage……….
Yo! Solange was in TopShop in London last week and I missed her cos some ugly dude was talking to me outside…
hehehhhehehe
I really like Solange, always have since that song with N.O.R.E…. i thought the singing thing wasn’t working out for her cos she wasn’t meant to do it, but I guess everyone was waiting for Mrs Carter to peak so they could focus on her more, at the time musta been hard, but in hindsight it was a good move, cos now Solange can do her thing.
She’s pretty, a single mum (bet u forgot that one), and doing her thing.
YOU GO GIRL!
LMAO BET didnt rob Trina of any award, shes wack and just shows how depleted the female rap scene is right now. Missy, even at her worst, is still carrying that title on her shoulders. Nobody in the mainstream gives a damn bout Trina.
I TRULY hope Missy returns to form though. Shake Ya Pom Pom, Ching-A-Ling and Best Best were TERRIBLE!!!!!! Shes become so absurd in the last couple of years I dont even hear the same Missy, most of the time. She NEVER EVER used to shout and be all unecessarily loud back in the 90′s.
LOL! @ Solange, “he aint hurting no body” Solange is the real home girl. I like her for that. Solange has always been the more open Knowles girls. I think she is the daughter that even if you tried to shelter her, she just wasn’t haven’t it. I think Solange is a lot like her father, a go get it. I believe this girl protects her sisters vs the other way around; even though I’m not saying Bee can’t or won’t. Second children tend to be like that. Solange girl you made a lot more fans with this one. It just shows people you won’t be stand offish when it comes to every day people.
Good Look for you girl! Love the fans who loves you! I do have to say though; I don’t blame the bigger celebrities for heavy security, because those fans are sometimes out of control. However, Solange be careful and don’t be to trusting of everyone. We still have crazy ass people out here.
Peace!
i love it when solange said ” he aint hurtin nobody”. she seems down to earth, its not bout what just beyonce would do, but what most artists would do. cool chick ima check out her album.
The video was hilarious ! loved it.
Solange handled it well, and never missed a beat…
Security was correct [after the fact] because this turned out well, but it could have easily been bad.
Superstar like Mariah Carey, or Beyonce would not have to deal with this type of situation: With all the security surrounding them, I dont even think anybody could have gotten on the stage during on of their show. And if it were to happen, then they would play it off, until security would have the dude off the stage, lol. It would have been the proper thing to do. But the fact that Solange handled it differently, I think it showed her playful and laidback personnality.
Solange’s video has me in splits and giggles. Hilarious!!! Really shows her personality. I know her sis would have reacted quite differently.
@ #25
How did he sneak past security?
I had to go back and look again. but you are right. Ole boy took a break to send a text msg. THAT makes it even funnier!!!!
*****LOL yo yo yo get off I love that song go Solange
I live in MD, that is the most ghetto music festival around, every year there is a problem and the sad part is there are usually really great acts well at least not for the past two years oh well.
But I am mad brother was checking to see who called during her performance what the hell? And why was security taking so long to decide what to do, hello she could have been hurt by the time the decided to act. And did that Big security dude have a perm or wave set (aka jerri curl) WTF????
Last thing, I still not feeling that song but at least Solange can hold a note, I used to think she couldnt sing at all. She’s a mini Ashanti, not Beyonce yet.
ha ha Beyonce would have ran from that dude
I really like Solange for what she did when the guy came on stage and she sounded really good, im really feeling her more and more.
solange is so professional. i admire that about her a lot.
Keri Hilson rules! That dude at the Solange concert should have been taken off the stage immediately. Luckily nothing happened, but anything could’ve happened.
Yall don’t know what Bey would do…yall like to hate on that girl for no reason. Anyway…just let Solange have her shine for now, I know she gets tired of being compared to Bey-she is her own person.
Keri looks great…very pretty and she has a nice voice also.
The Keri pics are so chic. But what’s up with the 2nd single coming out? Energy hasn’t convinced that I should buy her album.
I was laughing so hard at that video yesterday. It’s hilarious. Thank God she didn’t get hurt by that guy though.
It was obvious Missy was having trouble finding the right hit single. I thought she was going to drop a hot catchy single for the summer, but that obviously didn’t happen. Hopefully, she’ll be able to work it out by her release date.
Lol I loves Solo to death, I’ma need her to be a little more careful in the future with who sh lts dance with her on stage tho. there’s too many crazies out here >.,>
LOL @ Solange! she handeled it like a pro! Her voice sounds amazing!
Keri’s pics are beautiful, I hope her album is worth buying I like the energy song!
Who cares about Missy, she needs to stay behind the scenes now anyway!
That was so sweet of her. I’m a fan now lol. See the little things like that makes me want to buy her album. Anyone else would have had him jacked off the stage quick. So she get cool points with me for that. Sweet girl.
Hey we need Missy back on the scene ASAP. No one representing for the female rappers and im tired hearing the few hoes who got nothing to say but trash and sex.
Solange is the isht!
Keri looks great!! Love the green on her!
I can’t ever view the videos on CL from work… *note to self* call IT…lol..
hmmm Missy was ahead of her time years ago with the futuristic and weird vids it will be interesting to see if she can come up with something that tops her own. I wasn’t feeling any of her last few “hits” other then hearing them on the radio or at a club I could have done without them…
Keri Hilson is alright…but there is nothing ‘poppin’ abt her. sumthn is just not sayn “star” about her to me. I mean she sounded gud on “The Way I Are” and “Energy” is nyc…o and she does her thing on “Hero” (Nas)…but by herself..i dont think her career will last nearly as long as some other ppl n the game…
…lyk Jasmine Sullivan…she is lukn promising…but we shall c. I still wish Keri success. o and @ 1st glance she resembled santagold in the first pic to me. maybe it was the hair color and complexion…IMO…shrugs…
Although it was nice to for Solange not to throw this man off the stage. but It was pretty dangerous too, this man could have been really mental and deranged! Anyhoww..I loved her performance, very cute!
Solange is really growing on me. Will have to cop that album.
NO IM STILL NOT FEELING THIS GIRL KERRI HILSON, NOW SOLANGE YEAH I CANT WAIT FOR HER ALBUM. SEE THATS WHY THATS WHY THE INDUSTRY IS BROKE NOW CAUSE PUSHING PEOPLES ALBUM BACK AND WHAT NOT.
Solange is that chick! Luvs her!
i thought it was nice of solange to keep him on the stage because he wasn’t hurting nobody he just wanted to feel the groove. i hope that people imbrace the movement htat solange is trying to do. she trying to stand out from her sister and i think that is cool. I am ready for the keri hilson project to drop i like her single “energy”. Hang in there missy.
I just became a fan of Solange….. I didn’t know she had a voice like that???!…. She looked real cute on stage… ANd she Played that off real real well… but still you never know… Yall was sayin that Bey would have dude thrown off stage… and i dont blame her… he could of had a weapon or somthing… you never know. Solange was endangering herself….. Im glad it worked out ok…. She’s a pretty cool girl.
I don’t know why, but I am I the only person who DOES NOT LIKE Keri Hilson??? I hate her style.. Although the green outfit is cute…
