Butterzone Music: Producers Extraordinaire

We want to show the world that a Black man and a white man can work together. We are all from different cultures and we should be able to talk and work together more often. I’m starting to work with young people, showing them how to write and produce. We want to show young people that you can make good music without it relating to violence. The Butterzone Music Group is trying to show the youth that you don’t have to go to jail to get a record deal. Stay positive, don’t focus on the negative. Be real and have fun. We like to keep it that way. That’s why me and Floyd are known as “The Odd Couple� in the music biz.

Profile: Sway

His videos for “Flo Fashion� and “ Up your speed� were played on MTV base and Channel U. His Mixtapes have reportedly sold over 10,000 copies, which is unheard of. Mixtapes normally sell in the hundreds. The underground hype grew like wild fire, then culminated in Sway being nominated for the MOBO awards in 2005 as best Hip Hop act.

Review: Sisters in Law

Sisters in Law chronicles the valiant efforts of these two intrepid black women to coax incriminating testimony out of reluctant witnesses in order to put some pretty sick felons behind bars. With a camera rolling right in the courtroom, we get to see some fairly heartbreaking cases, such as the one involving a sexual assault on a young virgin by a neighbor who claims that the sex was consensual and that she was a prostitute.

Interview: Eva Longoria

Eva’s fortunes would change dramatically the very next year, when she was signed to play wanton adulteress Gabrielle Solis on Desperate Housewives. The show turned out to be a runaway hit, turning Longoria into an overnight sensation who currently commands a cool quarter million dollars per episode. Longoria is apparently earning every penny of her salary, having been conked unconscious on the set for four minutes by a pole which fell on her head.

Interview: Rob Brown

On the strength of that performance, the talented teenager was hired to co-star with Samuel L. Jackson in Coach Carter. What is rather remarkable is that his first two pictures met with both box-office success and critical acclaim. In fact, each earned a spot on my annual Top Ten List. Currently, Rob is a senior at prestigious Amherst College, located in western Massachusetts.

Amazing DJ Delmar Browne

Delmar told BSN the secret to his success as a DJ is that he listens to the people and works hard to give them what they want. And that is just what he did at the Target First Saturdays 70s Party at The Brooklyn Museum on April 1st. Delmar shared with me that about 8,000 people attended and that The Brooklyn Museum informed him that it was the largest attendance in the month of April.

Interview: Matthew McConaughey

Some romantic comedies that I don’t like, someone may like but I go in and I’m like, aww geez, you completely castrated everything. A lot of these romantic comedies are set up to be some war of the sexes. That’s the fun of them. And to do that, I believe they need to be balanced. A lot of them are written to where they aren’t balanced.

When Do We Eat?

When Do We Eat? is a farce which will work for you to the extent that you are familiar with Jewish culture and are open to an irreverent brand of politically-incorrect humor which stipulates that no subject is sacrosanct. Laugh aplenty abound as a hallucinating Ira imagines himself to be a modern-day Moses and attempts to lead his Chosen People to the Promise Land

Review: T-Pain

Disenchanted with the R&B he was hearing on the radio T-Pain flipped the script and started recording his own brand, called Hard & B, or Hard R&B for his exclusive listening pleasure. As with most secrets, the word got out when a friend heard what he was making and relayed the message to Felisha Foxx of 100.7 The Beat and she asked for a copy of the CD. Impressed, she played the unplanned single "Time To Make Love" three times that night.

Rapper PROOF Shot Dead
