Eminem fires back at Mariah Carey’s song “Obsessed” and also takes a stab at Nick Cannon while he is at it. This is one guy who I would never want to be on his bad side. Especially with songs like this. Eminem released to song because he is upset not at her diss song but at the fact that she is denying that they ever saw each other. I have posted both Eminem’s diss track, “The Warning” and Mariah Carey’s song “Obsessed” and would like to hear what everyone thinks. Enjoy!

Remember the classic released in the early 1980’s called “Africa” by Toto? Well, I just stumbled across this amazing video of an a cappella jazz choir from Slovenia doing their own version of it and it blew me away from beginning to end.

They all have amazing voices and add their own touch to their piece of the music. The video starts out with the group simulating an African thunderstorm with their hands. If you close your eyes and listen it sounds like the real thing, it is simply amazing. Watch the video and enjoy, I just had to share!

Google announced yesterday that they will be releasing a new operating system called "Google Chrome OS," for the time being. The operating system sounds quite promising and is due to release in the second half of 2010.

Google is designing the operating system for those who live of the web and are always searching for information, checking email, catching up on the news, shopping or just staying in touch with friends.

The OS will be light weight and targeted for notebook computers and focus on speed, simplicity and security. The user will no longer have to worry about downloading updates for their OS either. With the Google Chrome OS, they are going back to the basics and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don’t have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates.

Google will be releasing the source code for the OS later this year so keep your eyes open for that if you are a developer. The new OS should give Microsoft and Linux a run for its money.

People want to get to their email instantly, without wasting time waiting for their computers to boot and browsers to start up. They want their computers to always run as fast as when they first bought them and Google Chrome OS sounds like the answer we have been waiting for.

Eminem just released his next single "Beautiful" music video which was shot in his home town of Detroit. Being one of my favorite songs on his "Relapse" album I was excited to see the video. The video shows some of Detroit’s most run down and abandoned areas and footage of the Tigers’ stadium being torn down. The "Beautiful" video was directed by Anthony Mandler and has some pretty inspiring shots. Here is the video, enjoy!

The new SONAR V-Studio 100 by Cakewalk is taking portable music production to another level. When used with computer you get a 24/96k audio interface with high-quality mic preamps and a DAW controller. Without your computer you get an 8×6 digital mixer an SD recorder to play back beats at your gig or to record those inspiring moments on the road or at home when you don’t feel like firing up your computer. Plus it comes with the VS Production Pack of effects and instruments for Mac and Windows.

To prove a point, Cakewalk took the V-Studio 100 to Sha Money’s One Stop Shop Conference in Phoenix, AZ and put it to work. With all the up and coming MCs and producers in attendance, Cakewalk figured One Stop Shop was the best place to test this product out with the Hip Hop community. To paraphrase one of the original gangstas “If we can make it there, we’ll make it anywhere.”

Cakewalk’s resident producer Lil Shamrock recorded a beat on the spot and then threw down the gauntlet, challenging the MCs in attendance to come up and record their rhymes on the fly while the beat was playing back from the V-Studio 100’s SD card.

Watch the video below to check out the finalists, then cast your vote and let Cakewalk know who’s got it.   The winner is going to receive a copy of SONAR Producer or Rapture. It’s up to you!

This contest will run through Monday July 6, 2009.

Artist Name: Grin Danilov
Song Title: Heavy Xmas

This months “Song of The Month” comes from an artist that goes by the name of Grin Danilov. The song is called Heavy Xmas. Grin brings a unique style of breaks and beats which was mixed and mastered in one of Germany’s studios. I really enjoyed this piece of music. It is like a blend dance / trance music mixed with some drum breaks.
