EXPLOSIVE VIDEO: JMNS "SOMETHING"
Directed by himself, alternative R&B artist JMNS delivers a stellar visual for his record "Something" off his upcoming new release Priscilla. Dark but incredibly creative. JMNS maybe noted to have similarity to another alternative singer/songwriter out of Toronto but JMNS vocals are a lot more crisp and talented then the others. Enjoy the darkside.

COMMON RESPONSE TO DRAKE LABELLING HIM "CANADA DRY" ON "STAY SCHEMIN" REMIX
While Drake has yet to mention Common's name in a negative light in any record, rumors began to circulate that Drizzy Drake actually did response to the recent Common diss to the CEO of October's Ver Own in the new record/video released by Rick Ross for his new Rich Forever mixtape track "Stay Schemin'". Drake has yet to reveal if there was a diss line on the record directed at Common Sense; however, many have noted that you can read between the lines and notice it is very apparent that a few words were directed from Drake to the Chi-Town emcee. Not wasting anytime, Common has fired back with his own diss line to the Toronto native on the same track adding a remix touch to it. Common makes it very aware that Drake should stop hiding behind the beat and step out and call out Common instead of shooting in the dark with subliminals. Check out Common as he spazzes after the download.

Comic Spotlight: Lobster Johnson-The Burning Hand #1
In the 1930’s, crime is rampant, the world is different, and villains fear the burning hand of Lobster Johnson. Know for his ties to Mike Mignola’s Hellboy, Johnson is back in a new miniseries: Lobster Johnson: The Burning Hand. The first issue hits next week, marking the end of a four-year drought of Johnson stories: so is it worth the wait?
Lobster Johnson is a pulp-like hero set in the 1930’s, the hero that a young Hellboy grows up idolizing. A masked vigilante with a mean streak for justice and a habit of burning his famed lobster claw symbol into his victims, Johnson is well know throughout the Hellboy universe. This new series kicks off with a bang as groups of phantom Indians invade a city, to be more specific, attacking policemen. Right from the start, we see Johnson dispose justice in the best way he knows how: with bullets littering the skies.
Written by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and long time collaborator John Arcudi, the book has a very pulp, investigative feel to it. The phantom attackers have more secrets behind them than one would think, which has the police and reporters all scrambling to find out. Tonci Zonjic provides the artwork, as the world of Johnson is portrayed to a T. Fans of Mignola’s work will note that even though artist change from time to time, the same aesthetic feel is present: the simple, almost animated look that we know from Hellboy and the Amazing Screw-On Head is present, just with more of a throwback flare to it.
For someone who has never read a Lobster Johnson story, this book was relatively easy to pick up and follow. At times, the book is a little heavy on the text and light on the action, but being the first issue, you know this is all the set up for another outrageous Mignola style battle royal. Highly entertaining, I give Lobster Johnson: The Burning Hand #1 @@@@ out of 5.

FORMER 3LW STAR SIGNS WITH NE-YO ENTERTAINMENT GROUP!
Having risen to prominence as part of R&B outfit 3LW in the early 00′s, the singer’s big break came when Disney snapped her up to front (what would become) the wildly successful Cheetah Girls.
Yet, as the age old adage goes, all good things must come to an end; with that ‘end’ coming in 2008 when the Cheetah’s disbanded.
And while some members struggled to find their footing (with less than ‘Spectacular’ results), Bailon was swiftly snapped up by Island Def Jam. A deal That Grape Juice learned has since gone sour. Nonetheless, the future still looks bright for the 28 year old. Find out why below…
According to a reliable source, internal differences saw the termination of her Def Jam contract. However, the body of work recorded (with the likes of Darkchild and D’Mile), caught the attention of Ne-Yo and his Compound Entertainment imprint, who subsequently signed the singer to a management/development deal.
Under the hitmaker’s wing, Bailon is both recording and re-recording material with hopes of luring a major label distributor.
