Reports say that Apple is in the process of making the iPhone for Verizon, they are making a CDMA version of the iPhone that should be available by the first quarter of next year.

Some new fire off of Hunger For More 2. Funk Flex unleashed this tonight on Hot 97 (blazin' hip hop and r&b, 1-800-223-nine-seven-nine-seven) and its pretty dope. G.O.O.D. music is definitely in the building. This Banks album is shaping up to be pretty beastly.

New track out from mau5. Joel goes dubstep 5 minutes into the song. What.. the.. fuck? A whole lotta hate on other blogs and forums about this song and how he went dub... but I think I don't hate it? I godda think about this one...
I actually put this song on by accident, and it wound up being FIRE. I definitely recommend trying it out. Dudes from London so he sounds kinda weird, but the beat is nasty with a doooope hook.
