Posted on February 12, 2014 | Leave a comment

Rick Ro$$ hosted a Mastermind album listening party at Manhattan’s New World Stages last night (Feb. 11)

Mastermind is the upcoming sixth studio album by Rick Ross, set to be released on March 4. The album features guest appearances from Jay-Z, Jeezy, The Weeknd, Kanye West, Big Sean, Meek Mill, Lil Wayne and Scarface.

The event on Tusday was a star-studded affair, with Ross and Meek Mill, as well as DJ Khaled, Busta Rhymes, Mack Wilds, Bow Wow, Jermaine Dupri and other music industry heavyweights.

Ross made a business deal with P. Diddy’s fashionable Ciroc Vodka last year and to show his role as an ambassador for the brand Ciroc cocktails serviced at the party throughout the night.

The listening session started out of the intro, then launches into “Rich Is Gangsta,” a power-track. “Drug Dealer’s Dream” depicts the street life. P. Diddy produced “Nobody” is inspired by the Notorious B.I.G.,’s 1997 track “You’re Nobody (Til Somebody Kills You). The gospel-laced track “Sanctified” features Big Sean and Kanye West if definitely one of musical highlights as well as remarkable “Thug Cry” with helps with Lil Wayne. The album’s deluxe edition includes a bonus track “Blessing in Disguise” that features Houston rap legends Scarface.

日本語

The big game is almost here, and that means big parties with big celebs — and best of all, you don’t need a Super Bowl ticket to get in.

You just need plenty of cash.

Kendrick Lamar

How much? Well, if you want to listen to rapper Kendrick Lamar and hang out with models at the Maxim party on Saturday, a ticket will cost about $1,500.

Jay Z

Want to hobnob with Jay-Z on Saturday night? Tickets to the DirecTV party at New York City’s Pier 40 will cost you about $1,300 on Stubhub.com.

Or you can listen to John Legend, Marc Anthony and Mary J. Blige at the Shape Magazine and Men’s Fitness party. But you’ll need $1,500 for a single ticket, or $25,000 for a 10-person table, to get in.

ニューヨークにビッグアーティスト集結！スーパーボウル・パーティ特集 SuperBowl Parties in New York!

Posted on January 30, 2014 | Leave a comment

ハーフタイム・ショーでパフォーマンスするブルーノ・マーズ

Read in English

ニューヨークはNFLフットボールのチャンピオンシップ、スーパーボウルの話題で持ちきりです。もともと国民的なイベントですが今年はニューヨークエリアでの初開催ということもあって、３４丁目にあるメイシーズからタイムズ・スクウェアのある４７丁目までのブロードウェイ沿いは「スーパーボウル大通り」と名付けられ、交通を遮断しフットボール・ファンたちのための広場に大変身してしまいました。特設ステージを設置したり、トボガン（toboggan）そりが登場したり、まるで遊園地のよう。

Super Bowl Boulevard

メインのゲームは今週の日曜日（2/2）ですが、ニューヨークの街はお祭り騒ぎの真っただ中です。会場はお隣りのニュージャージー州ですが、マンハッタンに流れこむ観光客目当てのパーティーやコンサートがあちこちで開催されています。「ハーレム2ニッポン」の読者のかたの好きそうなイベントもたくさんありますのでご紹介します。

ハイライトはジェイZのパフォーマンスが観れる土曜日（2/1）のディレクTVスーパー・サタデー・ナイト。招待客オンリーですが、お金がモノを言うアメリカですからフトコロに自信のあるかたにお勧め。Stubhub.comに連絡すれば$1,300くらいでチケット入手可能とのこと。

Kendrick Lamar

ほかにも、土曜日（2/1）Maximパーティーに出演する今一番売れっ子のラッパー、ケンドリック・ラマーを見たい人は$1,500くらい出せば楽しい思いができそうです。美人モデルがたくさん集まるパーティー。

オールド・スクール・ファンのためのパーティーもあります。昔懐かしい、ファンクマスター・フレックスの「トンネル」パーティーを再現！フレックスのほか、DJサイファ・サウンズ、ビッグ・キャップなど、ベテランDJたちがバシバシとレコードを擦ってくれることと思います。こちらはまだチケット入手可能なので問い合わせてみてください。金曜日（(1/31) 11時30分会場。場所はB.B.King。　http://www.bbkingblues.com/

DJ June NY Club Chart – January 7, 2014

Happy New Year!

Let me introduce a new song, “Stay With You Tonight” by Clinton Sparks, my good friend with whom I will play at Province, Atlantic City this Saturday. Let’s get the party going!!

Clinton Sparks

1 Stay With You Tonight – Clinton Sparks feat. Riff Raff

今週の土曜日、アトランティック・シティで一緒にDJをする予定のクリントン・スパークスが新曲をリリースしました。エレクトロやヒップホップ DJ /プロデューサーのイメージが強い彼ですが、今回の曲は本人がロック/ポップを歌っています。プロデュースも彼で、公開されたばかりのビデオもクリントンが脚本担当、出演しています。

フィーチャリングに新鋭白人ラッパー、リフ・ラフを起用。ファッション的にはLMFAO風ですが、エレクトロ・ダンス・ミュージック・ファンの間ではすでに大人気ラッパーです。

常に音楽のことを考えて、寝る間も惜しんで活動しているクリントンの姿を見ていると、自分もがんばらなきゃ、と思わされます（反省）。

Sparks has built a reputation for combining elements from multiple genres in his music and this is the perfect example. He is known as an Electro Hip-Hop DJ but his new song, “Stay With You Tonight” is a rock-driven party anthem featuring one and only Riff Raff. Sparks produced, performed and created the treatment for the video all by himself. What a talent!!

2 Counting Stars – One Republic

アコースティックでスローなテンポのオリジナル曲もいいけど、ダンス・リミックスがクラブでは断然さえてます。”If I Lose Myself” がまだクラブで根強い人気ですが、これ大好きです。もうすぐヘヴィー・ローテーションになること間違いなし、 DJジューンが太鼓判押しちゃいます！

I love One Republic’s new single,”Counting Stars” original acoustic version but the dance remix is perfect for the dance floor! “If I Lose Myself” still dominates the club scene but my guts tell me this one is the next heavy-hitter!

3 The Devil Is A Lie – Rick Ross feat. Jay Z

F#ckWithMeYouKnowIGiotIt がヒットしたばかりですが、今度のも絶対きますね！リック・ロスの新しいアルバムに入る曲です。ジェイZ＆ロカフェラ全盛期を思わせる、渋くて迫力のあるビートがすばらしい。（これはジャスト・ブレイズではありませんが、もういちどジャスト＆ジェイZの曲を聴きたいものです。）これ、かなりいけます！

Rick Ross and Jay Z have teamed up for a second time this year, following “F#ckwithmeyouknowigotit” from Magna Carta Holy Grail. The single is called “The Devil Is A Lie” may be it’ll appear on Ross’ forthcoming album Mastermind, which is rumored to be on its way. It almost sounds like Just Blaze produced beats which I miss a lot!
