50 cent, one of the most prominent rap heroes of the previous decade, is back with a new song. Despite announcing his retirement from the music business a couple of times, it’s business as usual for Curtis, with another low slung, slow grooving number, Outlaw.
Eminem and Royce da 5’9″ go a long way back, collaborating on a few underground hits, and most notably on Slim Shady’s 1999 LP, in a song called Bad Meets Evil.
Their partnership is now a full on project, and Fast Lane is the first video to pop on the official channels.
A couple of weeks ago the music industry celebrated another year in business, and handed out a bunch of prizes to some of the most notable artists of 2010. As usual, there were unexpected winners and surprising moments, and this year, the biggest surprise is arguably indie-pop band, The Arcade Fire, winning album of the year with The Suburbs.
Eminem and Lady Gaga not won nearly as many Grammies as they hoped for, but didn’t go home empty handed either. Besides Arcade Fire, the other big winners of the night are no doubt country posters Lady Antebellum and jazz musician Esperanza Spalding, who overcame Justin Bieber and Drake as Best New Artist.
