Interview: Miss Special x Chuuwee

A few weeks ago on the (then) #WordToWoodrow radio show, we had Chuuwee on where we spoke about his newest project "Be Cool", producer Jonathan Lowell, why they chose to work together, the feel and vision behind the project, "Be Cool" part two, his work on Chuu3PO and the new milestones for him (going to NY, his shirt with Ooloo Clothing). He also spoke about the features on "Be Cool", being on a 9th Wonder production, working with Cookin' Soul, having his mom rap on this project, his promo videos, what's next for him and more.

Rochelle Jordan "King A (Aaliyah Tribute)"

I was laying on my mom's couch when I received the news of Aaliyah's passing. It was '01 and I was rocking a two-way pager. Back before the days of twitter I had subscribed to news alerts and I was jolted up by the news of the crash and later of her untimely passing. Some moments in life have such vivid memories. Aaliyah's death is one of those moments. Toronto sonstress Rochelle Jordan offers up a tribute by way of Are You That Somebody. Enjoy.

"When god puts you on this earth for a purpose, nothing can stop his plan. Not even death. She blessed and touched many people world wide with not only her amazing music, but her wonderful spirit. I just wanted to pay homage to one of the few artists that influenced me musically as a child and contributed to the woman I am today." - Rochelle Jordan

What I'm Watching: Lil Wayne "How To Love"

I could see Lil Wayne getting some girl pregnant out of wedlock because they love his "How to Love" video. Um, allegedly of course. Ha!

Funny, I think this video might be a part of a community service order. I suppose it's a cool message, if it didn't come via some off putting melodic Wayne vocals. And if it didn't come from Mr. Weezy F. Baby. Anyway, what's your thoughts?

Also, here's a solid cover. It's hard to find anyone over 14 years old doing a cover to this track on youtube. Kind of says a lot about the audience.
