Ashanti was spotted arriving at a Midtown Restaurant in New York City this weekend. Wonder if it was a low-key date with her boo Nelly?

My good buddies D.A. Wallach and Maxwell Drummey of Chester French finally premiere the Paul Hunter directed video for their first single, “She Loves Everybody.” The track is from their debut album Love the Future, which drops March 31st.
We did an Artist Spotlight on them some time last year and they got some good reviews. I’m glad to see that Star Trak/Interscope is moving forward with this project. It deserves some shine.
In what is the alternative cover of the March issue of Vibe Magazine, singer Keyshia Cole and her biological mother Frankie Lons cover the annual Style Issue.
Keyshia was interviewed in Los Angeles where she discussed the changes in her life — from her style and attitude to her new teeth — and why she is working on becoming a better person. Both Keyshia and Frankie talk fashion:
Keyshia on Fashion
..She is “getting turned off by the names, the print [logos] and all that” comes with designer fashion. She says, “I got money now. I don’t have to prove to anybody that I have money by wearing a handbag.”
Frankie on Fashion
“I love Payless, the ghetto mall, and the flea market. Payless got the same thing as Louis Vuitton, except Louis Vuitton is a bigger name…”
♫ Lil’ Wayne – Amazing Love (full) – listen
These rock tracks from Lil’ Wayne are popping up all over the place! Although “Prom Queen” is the first single, I’m wondering whether or not these songs that have leaked will actually make the album or if Weezy is just leaking some songs from sessions to see how well the public reacts to them. I’m not immediately drawn to the vocal arrangement on the chorus of “Amazing Love,” but I see some potential in these songs. I just don’t understand why HE is recording them.
♫ Ginuwine – Can’t Blame You (full) – listen
In addition to still working with Timbaland, it seems that Ginuwine has been dealing a lot with Bryan-Michael Cox on this new album. B. Cox has been laying low for the past few months, but it seems as though he’s getting Ginuwine some good vocal-appropriate material for his new album, A Man’s Thoughts, which is set to hit this spring. I really like the song, but something about the background vocals that’s killing me.
