Slang and Jonathan Davis "Got Money"!

Korn 's famed front man, Jonathan Davis, is no new comer to the world of rap music. In the past, his band called upon the services of Snoop Dogg, David Banner, Lil Jon, and Xzibit for collaborative work. Yet, for his upcoming solo project with his new band, The SFA, Jonathan has taken his love for hip hop even further. The first single from his highly anticipated album is a tribute to Weezy F. Baby himself (Lil Wayne, to those of us who are less hip) in the form of a dark, rocked out cover of "Got Money." "I've got to keep playing," Jonathan says. "I got to write music so I don't go crazy, so I decided it would be a perfect time to do this." The track, which features Jim Root of Slipknot, is already generating a massive buzz on the internet. When the time came for the official remix to be produced, they enlisted the services of Slang MusicGroup.

“The records will be released through I TUNES and all of the other popular digital networks,” says Vince Lawrence of Slang MusicGroup, “and it’s going to be an amazing album. We’re getting an exceptional amount of positive feedback about the remixes.” Slang works for top selling acts, producing both remixes and original music. Jonathan Davis says he is planning to write more songs for the album before he resumes recording later this fall. He is working to have the disc out by the end of 2008.

Nikki Lynette African Festival of the Arts

"I haven't performed in my hometown in a year." Declared Nikki Lynette, as she walked onto the huge hip hop stage at Chicago's historic African Festival of the Arts. "Man, it feels good to perform at home." Nikki Lynette took the stage only moments after a rocking, ten member band exited. Yet, there was no lull in energy when her base driven track kicked in and Nikki began to "rock the mic." In her fifteen minute performance, she remained energetic until the end. The crowd even sang along to some of the songs that she performed from her first official release, The Hard Candy Mixtpe, Volume 1. Nikki Lynette's live performance is definitely worth catching, and her catchy songs will ring in your head for at least a few days after she's done.
