Y'all BEEN not heard the last of HiPNOTT this month. The homie Nobody Famous just dropped a mixtape to support his album launch at the end of the month. Check the blurb below from Kevin Nottingham and cop that!
Allow me to share with you a free mixtape, in promotion of Nobody Famous' upcoming release, Order Up! Vol 3: Chicken & Waffles. Please feel free to disseminate and post on your respective blogs. Thank you in advance for your support!
Coming out of L.A. by way of the ATL, Nobody Famous is about to embark on a journey to stardom. With two volumes of his Order Up! series under his belt and countless other productions locked away in his vault, he is about to release his best work to date -- Order Up! Vol 3: Chicken & Waffles. Though promoted as an artist, Nobody Famous is a producer first and foremost. Producing all of his own material, as well as tracks for Dasha, Wax, Jarell Perry, Justin Figueroa, Chris Young and many others, Nobody Famous is on his way to building a small empire. He has built his own unique sound from scratch as his latest album is totally sample-free, which is virtually unheard of in today's hip hop and R&B.
Most of you may be hearing of Nobody Famous for the first time with our recent campaign for the new album. So allow me to introduce Nobody Famous to you via the following free mixtape, which collects some of his best productions prior to the release of the new album. If you're digging the mixtape, I guarantee you'll love the new material.
Order Up! Vol 3: Chicken & Waffles will be available on iTunes and Amazon.com July 28th on HiPNOTT Records.

Following on from the 'Obama Deception' doco from Alex Jones we posted about the other month, here's some more Obama related info. Interesting stuff, peep game.
E don't quit. Big ups to MP and Torae. Peep this...E, when's the album dropping??
Peep some live footage from the HiPNOTT labelmate Nobody Famous' album launch last week.
This week I am proud to present Ms. Marshana H. She is a 22 year old small town Pennsylvania girl with a big personality. Now she has moved from a little town in Pennsylvania to a big city in Texas in order to advance her modeling career. When Ms. Marshana is not rippin the runways or photo shoots she is working nonstop to obtain her bachelor's degree in interior design. Check out the interview with Marshana below.
DJ Grain: Where are you from?
Marshana: Small town outside of Pittsburgh, PA.
DJ Grain: How many years have you been modeling?
Marshana: A little over a year.
DJ Grain: What are the misconceptions people commonly have about models that are untrue?
Marshana: People often tend to assume that models are superficial and uneducated. Though I cannot speak for everyone, I can say that looks only last so long and can only take you so far. I personally do everything I can to absorb knowledge from various venues so that I'm a better business women.
DJ Grain: What shows, videos, magazines, etc. have you been featured in?
Marshana: I was one of the first models featured in the GlamModelz online magazine. (Check it out http://glammodelz.com/glam/?p=167) I've worked several promotional events such as wine tastings and fragrance events for Axe and Estee Lauder.
DJ Grain: What photographers have you worked with?
Marshana: Jeff of Visions East Photography, Terry of Hughes Photography, Scott Cross, Chris of Chris Chapa art, Barry Simpson, Ron of Big Shot Photography...
DJ Grain: What photographers would you like to work with?
Marshana: There's a ton of them, state side and beyond. I'm interested in working with anyone with a great vision who I feel I can grow and benefit from.
DJ Grain: Can you describe the grind of a model trying to break into the industry?
Marshana: I'm no expert by any means, but for me it's just about constantly pushing myself. Pretty face does not always translate into a pretty picture. Knowing this, when it's go time on the shoot, I get into the zone and realize that leaving without plenty of shots to choose from is not an option for me. No one likes their time to be wasted, so I bring my energy to the table and I expect the same of those I work with. I'm still fairly new so it's a constant learning experience, but I love every moment of it.
DJ Grain: Any words for the ladies out there that have aspirations of entering the modeling industry?
Marshana: Be smart, strong, and mostly be yourself. If somethings doesn't feel right, go with your gut. Check references. Practice, like you would a sport! If it's not within your comfort zone, it'll show in the pictures. It's important to think outside the box and push yourself, but still you should stick to your morals and what feels right for you.
DJ Grain: How can people contact you for booking?
Marshana: I can be reached by email lovelyladydivine@yahoo.com

Check out HiPNOTT labelmate Dasha live. Murked it.
Here's Hova at a recent Vegas show rockin' what is rumoured to be the intro to 'Blueprint 3'. The God is back.
Learn yaself.
Here's the video for Drake's big single, 'Best I Ever Had'. Apparently it's directed by Kanye West, which I could believe based on the broad-factor. Pretty damn uninspired clip, and Drake's acting left a lot to be desired (well, he was on Degrassi, but I ain't hating). Anyway, peep game, this joint is finna be huge.
Inverse - So Far from Donlee Brussel on Vimeo.
So this is an older joint off the homies Inverse's debut 'So Far: The Collection', but it's being re-released for MTVU's Freshman competition. Check that, freshness.
So here's the first peek at S-K-Y-Z-O-O's debut album, 'The Saving'. Interesting shit. Keen for this one.
Yes, yes. What up E? My girl don't quit. Back again with another video. Fuck I'm hanging for this album now lol. Hurry up, homegirl! :)
Ridic.
It's one thing to go and play with LeBron James. It's quite another to face Bruce Manley.
Perhaps you are not yet familiar with the name. Manley is something of a YouTube cult hero for his rather picturesque basketball trick shot skills.
Somehow, Shaquille O'Neal, the newest Cleveland Cavalier, saw the video. Apparently, his ego was piqued even more than when he saw Orlando's Dwight Howard claim to be Superman.
So what did the NBA's king of social networking do? He Twittered a challenge to a HORSEing duel.
"i wanna play this guy n horse for a thousand dollars, find him pls http://twitter.com/THE_REAL_SHAQ/status/2305266891," read Shaq's tweet.
According to the HoopDoctors.com, Manley has accepted Shaq's challenge and the contest should happen some time in July. So I really would encourage everyone to look at the YouTube video I have embedded.
If you are not utterly astonished by his tree-point shot, then your emotions have left you for another woman. And, yes, I said tree-point shot--no spelling mistake.
As for the shot Manley hits totally blind from behind a wall, well, if that isn't extraordinary talent then I am the new chief executive officer of the Golden State Warriors.
Will Shaq be able to compete against this kind of ability? It will be very interesting which H-O-R-S-E rules they choose to play. But, if I were a betting man, and perish the thought, I would be betting Manley.
Unless, of course, there's some very fine editing going on here.

Another rip from the homie Kev:
"This track has been around a while. It first appeared on Drake’s 2007 mixtape Comeback Season [download], but was incomplete. The full version includes Elzhi’s verse…production handled by 9th Wonder with a cool Anita Baker sample. Hit the cut for the link."
Dudes don't mess around. Big ups to the extremely talented Dwele for this very quick tribute to the late, great MJ.
Order Up! Album Release x MyCypher.com Launch Event June 27th 2k9 from Nobody Famous on Vimeo.
Re-post of Kev's lil note about our label mate Nobody Famous' album launch. If y'all in the LA area, head down!
Sup y'all! Yes, this IS a serious thing, despite the hilarity. Pure Aussie comedy rawness. So, producers LISTEN UP!
"This is so fucking hilarious! M-Phazes pulls off his debut as hip-hop’s leading infomercial actor/producer. Technically this is a vlog ad for his new Dirty 30 Drum Disc Vol. 2, but in reality it’s comedy gold. If M-Phazes music career doesn’t pan out, dude could definitely do stand up. I don’t see that happening though…. his beats kick ass!"
