Donwill & Suff Daddy - DPPLGNGR (Birthday EP)

"Looking back over the years [2008-10], it has become tradition to give y'all music on my birthday. I consider it my gift to you for allowing me to live this dream for so long. Trust me, it's not getting any easier but nonetheless, whether it's fumes or a full tank, I push on. We won't get into that today...
So, yeah - It's my birthday and there are a million things that I want including (but not limited to): A coffee grinder, Air Jordan 5 "Wolf Grey," Air Jordan 3 "True Blue," Blackberry 9900, lower rent, a vacation, camo shorts, button down shirts, socks, underwear, a good book and the time to read it, a tour, jeans or cold hard cash."

* Beats culled from Hi-Hat Club 2: Suff Draft/The Gin Diaries (2009-10).

"I guess I should actually say something about DPPLGNGR, huh? Long story short, it was recorded mid-late last year... After I found out about this guy named Suff Daddy and was put in touch with his label (Melting Pot Music), thanks to the homie Jon Kim. I went back [and] forth with them, via email for a while... Then the conversation just kinda stopped. I waffled about releasing it and finally decided that it was too good not to share. The songs are relatively old and they deal with my lows and highs and everything in between. The title comes from just becoming a whole different person over time, sorta like a "doppelganger of yourself." That feeling that you get when you look in the mirror and don't really know the person looking back at you, even though they look just like you. Our lives change us incrementally on a daily basis; So, after a few jarring experiences, one day we all lose who we were to become who we are. That's life - Right? You change IT or it changes YOU!
~~Due to the short nature of the songs, I originally wanted to release [DPPLGNGR] as one long mp3 with instrumental interludes~~. You can hear the 19-minute-long "Blended Version" on Soundcloud or just download the separate songs, sans interludes here."

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...
