Rising: Kitty Pryde - "Okay Cupid" & "Orion's Belt" (Unsigned Young Lust)

Kitty Pryde is a 19-year-old rapper hailing from Daytona Beach, FL who almost sounds like a strange blend of Lil B #BASEDGOD and reigning Pop princess, Katy Perry. She's going through the same experiences/mishaps as your average middle American teen, except it's being re-told along with a clever Hip-Hop cadence: Facebook infidelity, prom date woes, non-repliant texters, boy troubles, etc. Kitty Pryde recently complied a 15-minute setlist for her first New York area show, which went down this past weekend. It's the accumulation of a discography that can all be easily downloaded over @ Bandcamp. "Okay Cupid" is essentially an ode to Pryde's 3-ring binder-solidified crush, Danny Brown. Director Brian McKay quickly filmed it's companion music video @ a friend's yardsale last month and it's received some 400,000+ YouTube views ever since. I'm not 100% sure if Kitty Pryde's being TOTALLY for real or not - Yeah, sometimes she sounds a little immature and silly, but I really think she's just rapping about what she knows best.

Right now, Kitty Pryde's complete "discography" consists of 2 EP's and some Bandamp Loosies: haha i'm sorry EP and the lizzie mcguire experience. The bulk of these tracks were haphazardly self-recorded into a shitty MacBook microphone, produced by Beautiful Lou, and sample a bunch of random stuff... Carly Rae Jepsen, J Dilla, MADVILLAIN, Nicki Minaj, MF DOOM, [The] Game, and Frank Ocean. For all you comic book lovers out there, yes, Kitty Pryde does in fact borrow her stage name from a popular X-men heroine. Supposedly, a handful of label execs. were @ The Knitting Factory [NYC] show over the weekend, so I wouldn't be completely surprised to hear news that Kitty Pryde inks a record deal sometime moderately soon. Since a music video for RiFF RAFF-assisted track, "Orion's Belt" was released late Monday afternoon, haha i'm sorry EP now has 2 visual components. But my personal favourite Kitty Pryde track is probably still "Thanks Kathryn Obvious" (lizzie mcguire exp).

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

"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
