Wiz Khalifa - MTV Shows

Honoring his great success in the music industry this year, MTV has named Wiz Khalifa as the Artist to watch for next year. The network sees his hometown ode “Black & Yellow” as the most surprising hit in 2010 and states that the Pittsburgh-MC has moved all his chess pieces to the right position to fully take over in 2011.

Ne-Yo featuring Jadakiss & Fabolous – One In A Million (Remix)

After admitting that he was quite disturbed hackers that messed up the first week sales of his new album Libra Scale, singer Ne-Yo recruits the likes of Jadakiss and Fabolous to assist him on the third single of the project “One In A Million”. It remains to be seen if this effort will gain a much more broader appeal of this record or not, but this time there should be no hackers involved.
