Remember that Neptunes tune Kin – Goodfoot feat. Pharrell from back in 2007, we asked ourselfes (I Did) who the heck Kin are, well all we knew was that, they’re 2 chicks rapping but I couldn’t find any further information about that duo, well that’s because they’re not called Kin. Their actual name is Kin4Life, an Hip Hop duo with a growing fan base and popularity, IQ and Nor. The two black and lesbian performers formed their group more than 12 years ago and have had to overcome many challenges as they built their empire. Early in their career, they both set out to remain true to themselves and who they are, unafraid to publicly embrace their race and sexuality. Refusing to change their appearance, swagger or identity, they passed up the opportunity to sign with a major record label.
As disappointing as this missed opportunity was, they brushed their shoulders off and masterminded their independent label, Noriq Records, and self-promoted their music. Their effort is slowly paying off. Kin4life has more than 11,500 fans internationally. They have appeared in popular magazines Curve and Out. They have been interviewed by AllHipHop.com, collaborated with recording artist Pharrell, and appeared in PBS’ “In the Life” and the documentary “Black Womyn Conversations.” Their video for “Make Up Girl” was named best video of the year by AfterEllen.com in 2008 and made Logo’s Click List top 10 videos. This duo’s music is meaningful, realistic and sounds great. Their CD is a must buy. It is available on iTunes and myspace.com/kin4life.
Florida native and hot chick UFFIE (aka Anna-Catherine Hartley) debuts her brand new collaboration with Pharrell called “ADD SUV” from her anticipated debut album “Sex Dreams & Denim Jeans” (soon to be released on Ed Banger Records). Fans have literally been waiting for years… go grab back that kiddie porn swagger that Ke$ha copped baby! She performed the song, “ADD SUV,” on Thursday, and like much of Uffie’s spry dance cuts, it revealed an artist who’s willing to poke as much fun at herself as she is at the boys who chase her. Though she repeatedly noted it was “weird” to play in the daytime, Uffie was all smiles at SXSW, and her songs popped with effervescent, club-ready backdrops. Her first performance since the birth of her daughter… she rapped a medley of original tracks with a brand new DJ and fellas that tune is Not produced by The Neptunes, Pharrell is only featured on the tune.

I don’t know if you’ve seen this yet. Teyana Taylor (I don’t know what she does for a living) rejects reality TV personality Dorion’s kiss at a recent Clippers NBA game. Everyone knows Teyana is a lesbun and Dorion is How U Doin, so her rejection of Dorion — and him trying to kiss her anyway is hilarious and cute!
There are a few different new albums that impacted the Billboard 200 this week. There’s a new Gorillaz album and another from Jimmy Hendrix, but it’s Ludacris’ Battle of the Sexes that reigns at no. 1. Luda’s new album gave the rapper his fourth no. 1 album on the 200 charts, selling 137,000 copies. It’s the rapper’s follow-up to 2008’s Theater of the Mind, which peaked at no. 5. His previous no. 1 albums include 2006’s Release Therapy, 2004’s The Red Light District, and 2003’s Chicken N Beer. According to Billboard.com, Battle of The Sexes ties Luda for the third-most no. 1s among rap acts. His four ties him with the Beastie Boys, but he trails behind the likes of Tupac, DMX, Eminem, and Nas who have five no. 1s. But, the all-time leader is Jay-Z, with 11. Head over to Amazon.com. to cop Ludacris’ Battle of The Sexes.
