#1 Now You See It – Honorebel feat Pitbull & Jumpsmokers
Kingston Jamaica’s favorite MC Honorebel has teamed up with Miami’s hottest production trio The Jumpsmokers and Mr 305 Pitbull and the end result is one of the biggest urban/house cross over hits of 2009. David Guetta’s phenomenal success has certainly opened the floodgates and the walls between dance & urban have come crumbling down to the benefit of us all and this track is a prime example of what the future holds.

Nas & Kelis – Together again?
Rapper Nas and his estranged other half Kelis caused a media frenzy when they got married and a seemingly bigger one when they filed for divorce. The two seemed to be over for good but recent rumors have been forming with unidentified “sources” telling media outlets that the two are reconciling their differences. 
"Nas and Kelis were celebrating his birthday with some friends and you couldn’t tell they were divorcing to look at them. They seemed very intimate and were kissing and hugging and even left together,” a source told WENN.  TMZ also reported that the two may have reunited, showing an image of the couple at the opening of a hair salon last week. 
This may bring back memories of previous happy moments between the two on Nas’ birthday, but it’s a shock for those who thought the duo would not be on good terms again. Shortly after the birth of their son Knight, the two split and a very public argument unfolded involving financial worth and compensation. 
As all of this unfolds, Mr. Jones is still prepping the release of Distant Relatives, his project with Damian Marley.
He is also gearing up for shows including the Common & Friends Benefit Show in Los Angeles, CA

As part of his community service order, Brown will be responsible for removing graffiti, washing cars, and general cleaning and maintenance duties. Brown has been open with his fans regarding his community service and has been posting regular updates on his Twitter page. Brown was sentenced to his 180 days of community service back in August after making an appearance at a Los Angeles Superior Court.
