DJ Grain Ear to the Streets Weekly Hip Hop News Wrap Up - January 10th 2009

Man I am truly glad to be back on it again....it's a new year and time to improve from the year before.

Wrap up of this weeks news:



Lil' Wayne is in the process of making an album that is going to be completely rock. He is doing this project to throw folks off like Kanye did with the '808's and Heartbreak' album.



Rumors have been flying that Jermaine Dupri has been relived of his duties as President of Island Records Urban Music, a division of Def Jam. All of the projects he was in charge of flopped, including Janet Jackson's latest album.



Comedian Katt Williams just signed a deal with Warner Brother to distribute the audio from the super funny DVD 'It's Pimpin' Pimpin''.

Travis of the Gym Class Heroes just got signed by T-Pain's label Nappy Boy.

Albums looking forward to in 2009:
Tanya Morgan - Brooklynati
Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot
Mickey Factz
Outkast

Peace,
DJ Grain.

DJ Grain Ear to the Streets Weekly Hip Hop News Wrap Up - Dec 27th 2008

What up, folks?

Here is my last 'Ear To The Streets' report for 2008 on The Edutainment Hip Hop show.

2008 was a great year and there were many ups and downs. I was able to link up with folks around the world through this music stuff. In 2009, expect many projects from The Movement Fam and several mixtapes from DJ Grain. The artists to look out for in 2009 are Drake, Mickey Factz, Che Grand, Tanya Morgan, and many, many others. This should be an interesting year. I hope everyone had a great new year and are geared up for an even greater 2009.

Peace,

DJ Grain.

PS. I jacked the dope image from Aggregate Dope's blog. Check him out. Oh and I'm taking a break for the first show back on January 3rd, but I'll be in effect the following week, folks.
