♫ Kid Cudi feat. Kanye West & Common – I Poke Her Face (full) – listen
Kid Cudi gets on top of Lady GaGa’s acoustic version of her #1 Billboard hit, “Poker Face” with Kanye West and Common, which I originally loved when I heard it. I can appreciate the new version, it’s very interesting and I like the way the sampled Lady GaGa’s vocal. I guess my question is: will this make Kid Cudi’s album? Last I heard, he still had people submitting tracks. Cudi needs to strike while the iron is hot!
♫ Mario – Come Back to Me (full) – listen
I’ve always been a fan of Dre & Vidal’s productions, so I’m glad to hear Mario working with them. Their songs are always so smooth, they have such a laid back sound, even with their upbeat tracks. “Come Back to Me” is from Mario’s latest recording sessions. I’m hoping that Dre & Vidal have contributed more to the album, I think they have a really great sound.

Looks like South by Southwest (SXSW) was the hot spot this weekend! The popular festival is held every year and features concerts/performances from up & coming talent as well as popular entertainers. It officially kicked off on March 13th.
I’m kind of mad I decided not to go, because from what I heard all the concerts were on and poppin’. Here are some random shots from this weekend featuring performance photos from Kanye West, Solange Knowles, Janelle Monae, Kid Cudi, Common, Big Sean and more.
