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.

1          Thank You – Busta Rhymes, Q Tip, Kanye West & Lil Wayne

AUDIO

クラッシクR&Bの I wanna Thank you をそのまま使ったトラックに、バスタ、カニエ、Qティップ……..超豪華メンバーのてんこ盛り…。パーティで流行るかどうかわからないけど、こういうのも新鮮で素敵です!

Busta Rhymes’s new single “Thank You” transformed disco diva Alicia Meyers’s 1981 classic, I Wanna Thank You, into a upbeat star-studded collaboration featuring Q Tip, Kanye West & Lil Wayne.  Not sure if this gonna be big on dance floor but definitely refreshing!

2          Love Game – Eminem feat. Kendrick Lamar

Emimenのアルバム凄く評判いいですね!私自身もどの曲も大好きです。Kendrick Lamarがフューチャリングされたこの曲は明るい感じのトラックに、オールドスクールのリリックなんかも盛り込まれてて、とっても楽しいです。

Eminem’s new album is fantastic. I love every song on Marshall Mathers LP2. “Love Game” is a good vibe song featuring Kendrick Lamar and Em threw some old school lyrics.

3          Know About Me – Timbaland feat. Jay-Z, Drake & James Fauntleroy

AUDIO

Timbo-Drake-Jay-Z-Collabo

あのTimbalandのチキチキビートが戻ってきた!そしてJayZとDrake……パーティーで盛り上げてくれる一曲になって欲しいです。

Timbaland’s come back! Timbo’s productions chops are the star of the show. Joined by Jay-Z and Drake should keep the party going.

1 F***withmeyouknowigotit – Jay-Z feat. Rick Ross

Rick Rossから始まってJay-Zにバトンタッチ… 流石にこの二人だと文句無しにカッコいい。

It started off with Rick Ross’s verse and passes on to Jay-Z…….Nice. Can’t get any better than that.

2 New Slaves – Kanye West

とにかくビートが洗練されている。Trapバージョンもでていてクラブで絶対使えそう (DJ Snakeバージョンがクラブにはピッタリ)

I love this sophisticated beats. Trap version by DJ Snake would be perfect for the club.

3 Welcome To The Jungle – Alvaro & Mercer feat. Lil Jon

かなりパンチの効いたEDMで、所々入るLil Jonのシャウトが強烈に盛り上げてくれる、クラブ栄えする一曲。

This high energy EDM track by a duo named Alvaro & Mercer featuring Lil Jon’s loud, nasty screams seems to get the crowd going!

アリシア・キーズ、ハリケーン・サンディ救済コンサートのフィナーレを飾る Alicia Keys Closed out 121212 concert

121212_live4

ブルース・スプリングスティーン、ボン・ジョヴィ、ローリング・ストーンズ、エリック・クラプトン、ザ・フー、ビリー・ジョエル、ポール・マッカートニーなど国宝級スーパースターが大集合した歴史的イベント、ハリケーン救済コンサート&テレソン「121212コンサート」は12月12日マジソン・スクエア・ガーデンでおよそ6時間に渡って行われました。チケットの売り上げだけでも30億円を集めたそう。カニエ・ウェストと共にアーバン系若手アーティスト代表で出演したアリシア・キーズは今回は弾き語りで登場。今やニューヨークシティのアンセムになっている「エンパイア・ステート・マインド」を自身のセットでは歌わず???だったが、なんとポール・マッカートニーがトリをつとめた後に大トリとして再び登場、ステージを埋めた消防士や救助隊員らの横で、堂々と「エンパイア・ステート・マインド」を歌い上げコンサートをしめくくりました。

It was a night of music history as some of the biggest names in rock joined forces for one incredible concert. Legends Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, The Who, Bon Jovi, Billy Joel and many others performed at New York’s Madison Square Garden last night to help benefit the victims of Hurricane Sandy.
Among them, Alicia Keys was one of a few urban artists alongside Kanye West and only female act. She came on stage after the Rolling Stones and finished her solo set without singing her beloved New York anthem, “Empire State Mind”. But much later, after the night’s final act Paul McCartney left the stage, she came back to close out the entire show by singing the song. We are proud of you Alicia!
