ABOUT AKELDAMA:
AKELDAMA is a progressive metal band founded by Andrew Zink of Tampa, FL.
AKELDAMA began in 2010 as a studio project between Andrew Zink and a select group of musicians in the Greater Tampa Bay area. The project began to take shape with a few steady members and songwriters. Through the final months of 2010 and into 2011, Zink and his bandmates would compose a handful of tracks ending with the release of a self-titled, three song demo released on March 28, 2011. The three tracks would soon after solidify Akeldama as a household name within the circles of progressive metal/djent fans and the internet based metal scene as a whole.

IS THIS MUSIC VIDEO THE REASON DIDDY CHANGED HIS NAME BACK TO "PUFF DADDY"???

 

Los Angeles, CA ~ Today is a double release day for Cali native Jay Blaze as he unleashes both his brand new EP, "Haterz Stay Back" on iTunes as well as the visual to "Puff Daddy", the EP's second track. Funny thing about that "Puff Daddy" song. Being a Los Angeles resident with the priviledge of being all up in the mix has its benefits. Jay was able not only to get the song to Puff's team, but to get feedback from the man himself. Word is, he digs it and looks forward to seeing the video, which debuts on HipHopDX today. Oddly, he changed his name back to Puff Daddy shortly thereafter.............coincidence? Perhaps, but a great look for Jay Blaze regardless.

Beyonce Watches as Solange Attacks Jay-Z in Elevator

Beyonce‘s younger sister Solange Knowles violently attacked Jay-Z last week and the whole thing was caught on video.

All three of the stars stepped into an elevator together after attending the Met Gala after party at the Standard Hotel when Solange started screaming at Jay-Z before violent attacking him, according to TMZ.

Solange was held back by Beyonce's bodyguard, but she was still able to get in some kicks and definitely makes contact at least three times. The whole time, Beyonce stands to the side without getting involved physically. No word on what happened that caused the fight.

A statement was issued out via Twitter on Solange's page. I am not sure if her page was hacked but this is what was posted on Solanges page:

LILY ALLEN'S NEW ALBUM, SHEEZUS, OUT TODAY ON WARNER BROS. RECORDS

May 6th, 2014 - Burbank, CA - Sheezus, Lily Allen's third studio album, is out today on Warner Bros. Records. It is the British pop singer's first album since 2009's acclaimed It's Not Me, It's You. Sheezus finds her re-teaming with her long-time collaborator Greg Kurstin (Tegan & Sara, P!nk), except for on the title track, which was produced by DJ Dahi, and "Air Balloon," which was produced by Shellback. Critics have already weighed in on Allen's return with Cosmopolitan announcing that "Britain's top pop provocateur is back and as unapologetic as ever." U.K. music bible Q declares her "Britain's smartest pop star" and notes that Sheezus is a blend of "punchy feminist statements, wistful party jams, NSFW love letters to her husband, two-finger salutes to her critics, and moments of startling vulnerability." In its four-star review, The Times called it "The Mother of all Comebacks." Elle.com calls Allen "the pop world's Greek chorus, an important voice reporting from the front lines." New York magazine says: "It's Lily Allen, so we are ALWAYS paying attention." To celebrate the release of Sheezus, Allen will arrive Stateside next week to make several TV appearances, including The Today Show on May 14th, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on May 14th, and Live with Kelly and Michael on May 26th. She will also perform a sold-out show at New York City's Highline Ballroom, her first live show in the U.S. in five years. Since emerging in 2006 with her iconic debut single "Smile," Allen has gone on to sell over five million albums worldwide. Her huge success in the U.K. not only quickly spread around the world, but also helped shift the musical axis toward young female artists. Her talent as a songwriter was acknowledged in 2010 when she won three Ivor Novello Awards. That same year she announced she was taking a break from making and performing music. In 2013 Lily returned to the studio, having spent the previous three years raising her young family and establishing her own record label. At the end of 2013, Lily released two songs simultaneously - her cover of Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know," which reached No. 1 in the U.K. and the download-only track "Hard Out Here," which charted in the British Top 10 that same week. Allen has been making waves with "Hard Out Here," which Entertainment Weekly called "a booming critique of pop's double standard" and "a lot of fun."
