January 14, 2010 08:01:00 AM CST | by Edwin Ortiz
With new Hip Hop websites and blogs popping up every week, one site is acting as a hub to give rap fans a one-stop shop of information.
FeedOffRap.com, created by Niko Lowry, features aggregate content from the most popular sites on the net. Along with news updates, the site also updates a list of tweets made by over 30 Hip Hop artists.
“Hip Hop really needs this site. I wanted a way for fans to get information easily," Lowry explained. Inspired by popurls.com, a site that aggregates content from the Google’s and Yahoo’s of the internet for easier news searching, he added, “I felt Hip Hop needed its own Popurl.”
In other news, R&B singer-songwriter Marsha Ambrosius recently inked a deal with J Records.
Previously signed to Aftermath Records, Ambrosius told SoulCulture.co.uk, “My deal with Dr.Dre became a writing/production relationship with the Interscope building and I was cool with that.”
However, wanting to expand on her endeavors, Ambrosius took advantage of an opportunity to take her musical career to new heights. “J Records having an understanding with the direction of my sound and style has taken a great weight off my shoulders and I am so comfortable and confident and happy to just be able to make music that I’m in love with again.”
Tentatively titled Yours Sincerely…Marsha Ambrosius, the former Floetry member stated initial progress on the album has been made. At press time, the album will feature production from Just Blaze, Focus, and Dre & Vidal.
