Diddy feat Keri Hilson - After Love (original version)

With the help of some friends through twitter today we uncovered a hidden gem with this After Love track. The album version is on Diddy's album called Press Play. This version though is much longer due to the reason that Keri Hilson added more vocals to the later part of this version listen this track. Also before being given to Diddy this track was originally slated for Danity Kane's debut album and also this is one of Danja's favourite collaborations. Check out the original version here and enjoy!!

Big Props to Roderick for the track and many thanks to Boogie from the Chronicles and Bhudda for the help as well!

Covers Blown ready to be released.... Finally?

If you have been following Timbaland since back when Danja was a big hand in the making of his big hits you will have noticed this small banger called Covers Blown featuring Keri Hilson, Attitude and Sebastian (prod by Timbaland and Danja) fly under the surface of his debut album Shock Value! Well have a look at what they had to say on his official Timbaland Thursday site:

Since Timbaland Thursdays began, we have been getting a overwhelming response for a song called “Covers Blown”. This song Timbaland recorded features Keri Hilson, Attitude & Sebastian. Originally slated for the initial “Shock Value” album, who knows if Timbaland will add it to his latest “Shock Value” album. In my personal opinion, I think it should be released here on TimbalandThursdays.com .  I think it’s a great song but didn’t expect the response we got for it. I wonder why everyone likes it so much? lol.

Well for everyone that doesn’t know what I am talking about, here is a video clip I recorded during the original Shock Value days in the studio, it is the 2nd song.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_ByzkAfBc0&feature=player_embedded]

Could there be an actual release of this song finally, possibly for Shock Value III or possibly for his Timbaland Thursday tracks? Either way, there will definately be some happy fans if this happens.

Q&A Memorial Day Weekend 2010 Interview With Cali Stylz

Image Source: Caligula Williams

Recently Miami New Time conducted a short interview with Calistylz who talks about NARS and what he will be up to at the Weekend Memorial Day here what he had to say:

Nobody does Memorial Day Weekend like Dade County. But, where it used to be just South Beach that saw all the action, this year more than ever the mainland will be a major part of the festivities. From the Best Of The Best concert at Bicentennial Park this Sunday to parties at the surrounding clubs like Nocturnal, Mekka, and everything on the 11th Street Corridor, DWNTWN will be wyling out extra heavy this year.

We spoke to Virginia-based rapper Cali Stylz about his plans for the weekend as an out-of-town rapper here to network and party. He's signed to superproducer Danjahandz's label NARS Records, and is collaborating heavily with a producer out of Hungary, of all places. Hit the jump to see what Cali had to say.

Crossfade: What's your connection to Miami?

Cali Stylz: My producer Danja Handz, who I'm signed to, moved to Miami in 2003 to work with Timbaland. He bought a house and we're building a studio. I've been going since 2003. Aldo Mottolese is there too; he's my manager and he's a strong connection I have in Miami as well.

What's up with Memorial Weekend. You ready?

Yes sir, we're gon' be in full effect getting it in. Flying in Friday, we're supposed to hit up Nocturnal for the Young Money Cash Money party hosted by Ozone magazine. Then Saturday with my homie Kevin Cossom, he's a Grammy nominee -- he wrote "Love Knocks You Down" for Keri Hilson -- over at Skyline Lounge hosted by a video vixen. It's gonna be my first time going to Bicentennial. We going for Best of The Best, gon' check everybody out see what's going on. That's gonna be exciting

Any shout-outs?

Yeah, NARS Records, Danjahandz.... Marcella Lago a.k.a. the Incredible Lago, she's from Miami; she just won some ASCAP awards for Pink's album. Luke James, Wyld Money, Kevin Cossom and y'know Aldo Mottolese cause he holds me down. Check out our music, NARS is on the rise bro.
