Roc Nation artist Rita Ora has released the video to her new single, R.I.P, that features London rapper Tinnie Tempah. The song was written by Drake with help from Toronto singer/songwriter Shi Wisdom. Drake originally recorded his version called, I’m Ready for Ya (which is the best version, in my opinion).

Posted by ChokLit Factory on June 27th, 2011
Queens-native Wynter Gordon has been steadily working on her craft since being signed to Big Beat/Atlantic records in 2008. She had released a catchy pop tune Surveillance back then which garnered some buzz. But nothing really stuck with the Mainstream. Wynter is an interesting artist because she looks like an R&B signer and she has the [...]

Caution: I know am late on this…. A friend put me on to Frank Ocean about a month ago. Being the cocky mofo that he is, he messaged me five words: Frank Ocean, Thank me Later. Needless to say, I got to Googling! Complex Magazine had done a great feature piece on Christopher Francis Ocean, if [...]

Posted by ChokLit Factory on June 22nd, 2009
