	<itunes:author>Magazine</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle /><itunes:summary>After years of releasing mixtapes and developing a strong presence on the  Internet, rapper 40 Glocc has landed a distribution deal with Fontana, the  independent distribution arm for the Universal Music Group.

The West  Coast rapper’s Zoo Life Entertainment will be distributed exclusively by  Fontana. Artists currently on the roster include Gail Gotti, Village Boo, Lil  Boo, Locie Locc and TipToe.

&amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m happy to be in business with Fontana  and staff and glad my business hand and grind was respected enough to bring my  Zoo Life label and brand amongst the world and cater to the fans independently,&amp;quot;  40 Glocc told AllHipHop.com in a statement. &amp;quot;Fontana is the way to go for me and  the vision I have for my company…”

The debut release under 40 Glocc’s  new union with Fontana is titled N.W.A. (New World Agenda).

“Everyone at  Fontana is looking forward to working with someone so incredibly focused on his  music and winning as 40 Glocc,” stated Fontana President, Ron Spaulding. “He is  not only one of the most acclaimed West Coast Hip-Hop artists, but he’s also a  true innovator whose label has come far in a relatively short period of time.  Through our new collaboration, we will work with 40 Glocc to expand the playing  field for Zoo Life across all mediums and platforms even further.”

Two  new singles are also slated to hit the streets this month. “Damn” features  Reality King and Ray J., while “Welcome to California” features a variety of  remixes with major West Coast artists like Xzibit, MC Eiht, Kurupt, Mistah  F.A.B., Yukmouth, Messy Marv, E-40 and others. ?

	<itunes:author>Magazine</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle /><itunes:summary>Ninety-four-year-old Delta blues singer/guitarist David &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Honeyboy&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Edwards is one of the last living links to  the raw, unadulterated country style of blues born in the steamy cotton fields  of the Mississippi Delta,  known as much for its fertile soil as its rough and tumble juke joints, fast  women

More than a talented blues musician, Edwards is a walking piece of  American folklore. He watched the great bluesman Charley Patton play in the bars  of Jackson, and learned to play for nickels and dimes on street corners from Big  Joe Williams.

One  of his closest friends was the legendary Robert  Johnson, whose mythical deal with the devil brought him talent and fame.  Edwards was at his deathbed after Johnson was allegedly poisoned by a jealous  juke joint owner in 1938.

Edwards was inducted into the Blues Hall of  Fame in 1996 and won a Grammy in 2008 for his recording &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Last of the Great  Mississippi Delta Bluesman: Live in Dallas,&amp;#039;&amp;#039; with Robert Lockwood Jr., Henry  Townsend and Pinetop Perkins. In January, he received a Lifetime Achievement  Award Grammy.

Edwards performs Friday at Larry Holmes Ringside Restaurant in Easton, accompanied on harmonica by his manager Michael  Frank, a graduate of Lehigh  University.

Also on the bill is the Michael Packer Blues Band from  New York City. The show is part of a five-concert tour in the  Northeast.

Born the son of cotton sharecroppers in Shaw, Miss., in 1915,  Edwards learned to play the guitar when he was about 10 years old from his  father.

Inspired by listening to Tommy Johnson and other bluesmen on 78  rpm records, Edwards began to play professionally in 1932 with Big Joe Williams,  who had been impressed with his style.

In 1942 he was discovered by  renowned folklorist Alan Lomax, who recorded him for the Library of Congress.  Like many other Mississippi bluesmen at the time, he had migrated north to  Chicago in the 1940s to become a vital player in that city&amp;#039;s burgeoning blues  scene.

Delta blues means a lot of different things to different people.  Its defining instrumental characteristic is its use of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;bottleneck&amp;#039;&amp;#039; slide  guitar, while its vocal roots lie deep in the heart of gospel.

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Delta  blues is a feeling goin&amp;#039; way back. It&amp;#039;s got gospel in it, like the baritone  sound of a gospel lead singer,&amp;#039;&amp;#039; says Edwards. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;But you can play blues two or  three different ways. Most blues players play a little of everything. We got a  few that try and play but they can&amp;#039;t. You got to play blues with a feeling. You  got to have a feeling with it. And you got to have the chords to go with the  feeling. You put your own tune to it, your own sound to it, and you make it  work,&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Edwards says.

While many can play the blues, not many can sing  it, Edwards says.

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;We got so many white boys playin&amp;#039; the blues now,  that&amp;#039;s good -- it&amp;#039;s not going away. Some of them are real good, and every once  in a while you catch one of them who can sing good, too -- you know what I mean?  But their voice chords are not like ours, I guess. Its just the nature of our  people that makes the voices different.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;

More a performer than a  songwriter, Edwards&amp;#039; repertoire comes from material he&amp;#039;s learned from his own  community, material he has pieced together into a unique personal  tapestry.

His hourlong set typically contains some all-time blues  classics, including &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Sweet Home Chicago,&amp;#039;&amp;#039; done the slow, original way; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Goin&amp;#039;  Down Slow&amp;#039;&amp;#039; by St. Louis Jimmy; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;That&amp;#039;s All Right&amp;#039;&amp;#039; by Chicago bluesman Jimmy  Rogers, and Edwards&amp;#039; own famous ballad &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Just Like Jesse James.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;

Unlike  most Delta blues artists, who played mostly regionally, Edwards crossed state  lines to play.

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;I was travelin&amp;#039; from when I was 17 years old.  Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, I stayed in  labor camps, log camps, just playin&amp;#039; the blues, shuffle blues. It was Big Joe  Williams who started me out -- he was about 35 years old at the time,&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Edwards  says.

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;When I first saw him play, he said, &amp;#039;Why you lookin&amp;#039; at me so  hard?&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039; Edwards says. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;And I said &amp;#039;I never seen a man play guitar like you  before.&amp;#039; So he asked me if I could play, and handed me his guitar. I played a  few chords, and he said &amp;#039;I can learn you,&amp;#039; just like that. So I left with Big  Joe, and when I came back after four or five months, I was real good. My  brothers and sister, they said &amp;#039;Honeyboy can sure play now!&amp;#039; I started recording  and everything after that.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;

Edwards&amp;#039; slide guitar style, which uses the  more difficult standard tuning as opposed to the open tuning most slide  guitarists use, is as distinctive as his voice. Many compare it to that of  Robert Nighthawk, often considered the best electric slide guitarist  ever.

By the time Edwards moved to Chicago in about 1945, he&amp;#039;d been  playing in small clubs and street corners, making recordings, and not much money  -- not that it bothered him. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;We&amp;#039;d all be playing for nickels and dimes in the  streets, maybe in little clubs for 2 or 3 dollars a night,&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Edwards says.

	<itunes:author>Magazine</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle /><itunes:summary>Watching a band grow and mature is a rare treat. Since their debut in 2001,  the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have grown up right in front of  our eyes, from members of the garage rock revival to international superstars.  But with their latest album, Beat The Devil’s Tattoo, the band present  a mix of musical sleight of hand and a few beefy rock tracks.

Of the album’s 13 tracks, it’s easy to describe a chunk of them as gimmicks:  inherently good songs that can be enjoyed but are created through some feat of  surface-level awesomeness without a lot of sustainability. Whether it’s the  psychedelic jam from a forgotten cut off of Black Sabbath that is “War Machine”  or “Sweet Feeling”, the saccharine sweet jam of pure neo-psychedlic pop, there’s  a very shallow flirtation with all things trippy. Of course, there’s also the  interesting creations where guitars almost come to life. There’s a great kind of  relationship between the wailing and dark guitar and the positive soaring boom  of the jangly guitar rhythm in the Thin Lizzy-esque “Bad Blood”. “Beat The  Devil’s Tattoo” is a down-home folk classic amped to hell; it’s a refreshing  little device when a decidedly acoustic guitar slices through the modern  trappings of the band. Sadly, those beasts don’t do much else other than peek  the listener’s initial interest.

The album’s a struggle of too much experimentation versus not enough overall  consistency. This is a band who has changed their sound before, and while it may  not be as drastic as other shifts (as they’ve gotten more and more concise),  they’ve lost some of that initial edge. They’re more technically sound then  ever, but there’s less of that swagger than with material from, say,  B.R.M.C. But even when they do offer some blasts from the past, it’s  just not the same. “Conscience Killer” is this album’s “Whatever Happened To My  Rock And Roll” in that it’s for older fans and recalls that simplified, rumbling  guitar noise. But after further listens, it’s gotten kind of organized like  something from a late ’90s U2: arena-ready rock with tons of fury and little  long-term substance.

But the songs that do mean something do so because of the tiny choices the  band has made. “Shadow’s Keeper” is like some grunge-heavy Seattle natives  learning the basics of blues circa 1992. It’s also the first song to lose  control musically, breaking down into a spiral of wailing guitar and heavy  industrial noise. It highlights the importance of burning out into the musical  oblivion: Do it every track, and we expect it; keep it a gift and it means more  to us. “Evol” stands out because, in an album full of minimalized vocals where a  lot is held back for seemingly no purpose, the singing especially sounds like  it’s done from a deep, dank cave. It’s an example of their focus on sounds and  instrumentation over vocals to create a battle where the guitars reign supreme  and the vocals are that much creepier. “Long Way Down” is a solemn gospel song  if done by Radiohead. Emotionally, it’s busy and is one of the more straight-up  beautiful and traditional tracks on the album. Here, the effects and noise in  the background add an other worldly presence to the song. But they don’t let it  win, and the song dies to a lonely piano. That says a lot about the power of the  musical add-ons in the band’s eyes. Despite their initial reading as even more  tricks, these songs are representative of the power of the band when stripped to  the very basics.

All of this isn’t to knock the natural development all artists go through; it  has to happen, and we all hate when too much of the goodness is left behind. But  if you loved BRMC because they were rough around the edges and things genuinely  seemed messy and raw and real, you may feel just as defeated as El Diablo.</itunes:summary>	<feedburner:origLink>http://creolemagazine.com/2010/03/album-review-black-rebel-motorcycle-club-%e2%80%93-beat-the-devil%e2%80%99s-tattoo/</feedburner:origLink></item>

	<itunes:author>Magazine</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle /><itunes:summary>Usher admits to loosing his swagger somewhere between &amp;quot;Confessions&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Here I  Stand&amp;quot;. With the forthcoming album &amp;quot;Raymond Vs. Raymond&amp;quot; the chart-topper, with  fire in his eyes, is intent on getting that swagger back !

Covering the latest issue of Billboard,  Usher admits &amp;quot;I had checked out... I went all the way into being super husband  and super dad, thinking, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;ve got to be serious all the time. I&amp;#039;ve got to be  the man.&amp;#039; I put my swagger down for a minute, but I didn&amp;#039;t throw it away. Now  it&amp;#039;s time to get it back.&amp;quot;

With a  troubled marriage behind him, new management and music, Usher seems poised for a  comeback with &amp;quot;Raymond Vs. Raymond&amp;quot;

Due  in stores March 30, the album features &amp;quot;Hey Daddy (Daddy&amp;#039;s Home),&amp;quot; the Nicki Minaj assisted  &amp;quot;Little Freak&amp;quot; and the just released single &amp;quot;OMG,&amp;quot; featuring will.i.am. But,  according to Usher the album is also packed with renewed confidence and  energy.

&amp;quot;A lot of things have happened in  the last few years that could have broke me, but I&amp;#039;m still standing; rejuvenated  with a new peace, confidence and energy,&amp;quot; says Usher. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve got fire in my  eyes.&amp;quot;

While Usher seems to be renewed  and in a new place, the question is... do you think Usher can get his &amp;#039;swagger&amp;#039;  back with &amp;quot;Raymond Vs.

T.I. announced his return to music this week with the street  single “I’m  Back.” Now his Grand Hustle affiliate B.o.B reveals another new track that  may appear on the King of the South’s first album since serving time behind  bars.

B.o.B  aka Bobby Ray has heard material from his label chief’s new project and is  actually featured on one record titled “Dream Me Up” produced by Cut the Check.  “Me and T.I. have a song that can potentially go on his album,” he tells  Rap-Up.com. “I think it’ll definitely be a smash.”

Additionally, T.I. guests on a song called “5th Dimension”  from B.o.B’s debut B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby  Ray. “I brought my guitar over, Tip was on the MPC, Lil C was on the keys.  We just vibed out, rocked out a bit, and we came up with a pretty dope song.”  Listen to him rapping the lyrics here.

Tip dropped some knowledge on his younger protégé, who’s  enjoying success with his breakout single “Nothin’  on You.” “T.I. has given me a lot of advice and a lot of critique in the  stages where I really needed it the most and he’s definitely like a mentor to  me,” shares B.o.B.

T.I.’s seventh studio album is due August 24, while B.o.B’s  Adventures arrives April 27. The latter can currently  be seen on the “Steppin  Laser” tour with Lupe Fiasco</itunes:summary>	<feedburner:origLink>http://creolemagazine.com/2010/03/collaboration-t-i-and-b-o-b-%e2%80%98dream-up%e2%80%99/</feedburner:origLink></item>
