GLC: "My First Model" featuring Christian Rich
Ahh, I remember my first model. I was 22, I met her at an NYE's party. It was like God was saying, "happy new year". I have no idea what I did, or how that happened, but hey...GLC tackles the same subject in this new joint featuring and produced by the Chicago to NY brothers Christian Rich. We linked up with CR last week at their MTV debut party. The brothers are down to earth and have clear goals in mind, one of them may possibly be attracting more models...IDK...grab the new track below via Herfection.

Drake Live From Hyde Park w/DJ Semtex
Our homie DJ Semtex linked up with Drake in Hyde Park, no, not the one on the south side of Chicago which is home to Barack Obama, RTC and others...but the one in London. Drake missed the studio interview due to a late-running studio session with Rihanna (who he is writing for right now), and instead did the walk and talk with Semtex the following day. Semtex kicks things off by talking about Drake's NYC show, which featured a rare appearance by Lyor Cohen, getting his publishing rights right, his non-work relationship with Rihanna, his upcoming album Thank Me Later and more...see the video below.

Barack Obama's NPR Interview
President Obama talked to NPR's Michele Norris and Steve Inskeep yesterday at the White House. The interview focused heavily on American relations in the Middle East and Muslim world. Obama faced questions regarding the United States' relationship with Israel, and if he felt it would be necessary to stop supporting Israel as much in order to better the U.S.'s image with other territories in the reigon. Obama declined to agree with the NPR hosts, instead saying it is not necessary to stop supporting the State of Israel, but it is necessary to be honest with them regarding the situation and the negative direction things are moving in Israel and Palestine. Obama insisted on a two state solution, a freeze on settlements, and an increase in security efforts from the Palestinians.
"No, I don't think that we have to change strong U.S. support for Israel. I think that we do have to retain a constant belief in the possibilities of negotiations that will lead to peace. And that's going to require, from my view, a two-state solution that is going to require that each side — the Israelis and Palestinians — meet their obligations. I've said very clearly to the Israelis both privately and publicly that a freeze on settlements, including natural growth, is part of those obligations."
