NEW MUSIC: 50 CENT – “I’M ON IT”


♫ 50 Cent – I’m On It

50 Cent released a brand new single, “I’m On It.” It’s lifted from his presently untitled fifth studio album, which 50 has been working on since 2010.

The track was leaked in its unfinished form earlier this week, however, this is the single version that is set to be released on iTunes on August 16th. No word on when 50′s new album will drop, but let’s hope that this single, produced by The Cataracts, can give him the push he needs.

MAG COVERS: MALINDA WILLIAMS GETS FIERCE FOR ‘DENIM’ / ZOE SALDANA POSES FOR ‘FLAUNT’ + ‘COLOMBIANA’ TRAILER

Malinda Williams gets fiesty for the August 2011 premiere issue of DENIM, the newest virtual fashion magazine. Inside The Wood actress talks about her career, fashion and how she manages to stay in shape:

What are your secrets for staying flawlessly fit?
Well let me start by saying that what you see is 80 percent good genes, and 20 percent discipline. I know people love to use the word “flawless” but please understand that there really is no such thing. I make efforts to stay healthy by drinking lots of water and not going overboard with sugars, salt and fats but I am not perfect by any means. I too, like every other woman on this planet, am beautifully flawed.

On Friday, August 5 (at midnight), you can catch more photos & the entire interview on www.denimmagazine.net! In the mean time, check out her second cover for the fashion magazine here.

CL TOPIC: JOY ROAD (TRAILER) – THE PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX & ITS IMPACT ON THE BLACK COMMUNITY

The most recent U.S. Census data estimates African Americans comprise 12.22 percent of the population, but the figure more than doubles to 30.4 percent when it comes to the nation’s prison population. This appalling stat begs the question: who controls the criminal justice system? Private companies operate over 250 correctional facilities, which then raises a “prisoner for profit” issue.

Directed by Harry Davis, the gritty film Joy Road stars Wood Harris, perhaps best known for his role in The Wire, and tells the story of a fictional corporation that is paid to come up with laws that send and keep people in jail. A winner at the Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival, Hamptons Black International Film Festival and an official selection of the Sundance Film Festival in 2009, the indie project is set to hit theaters in October.

Until then, you can download the film’s free app which can be used to obtain more info and voice your opinions about this injustice. But first, share them with us.

HOW DO WE FIX THIS PROBLEM?
