Kanye West / Tokin' Black Guy

Over the past few weeks, various sources have been buzzing about a mysterious hip-hop artist, Tokin' Black Guy, and his alleged connection to Kanye West. Some claim West has signed the artist to his label, G.O.O.D. Music, while others state Tokin' Black Guy is actually Mr. West himself.

The real story? According to a spokesperson from Kanye's label, any alleged connections between Tokin' Black Guy and 'Ye are "totally bogus."

Tokin Black Guy may not be 'Ye's latest gamble, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't check out the still-mysterious musician and his ultra-danceable, Outkast-sounding tunes

We've been a bit slack with Kid Cudi releases, but don't get it twisted we are massive fans. I know were a little late with 'Sky Might Fall' but hey better late than never. Contrary to popular belief the track was never officially used for the new Transformer's trailer. Cudi himself mashed up the track to the trailer as a viral marketing scheme. How sick is that?!?! Apparently there are talks to actually use the song in the movie now. To sweeten the deal were throwing up a VIKING remix of Cudi's 'Dat New New'. He's definitely getting love from the electro scene and sure to be a huge crossover star. Oh and for those who have been living under a rock, head to Cudi's website where you can find links to download the very cool 'Plain Pat & Emile Present: A Kid Name Cudi' mixtape.
On a side note, no offense to anyone who is really living under rock, were sure you've done wonders with the place.
