Drake's Official Vid

Canadian born actor/singer/rapper Drake is certainly making his presence felt in the industry. With rumors swirling around him signing with Lil Wayne's Young Money Entertainment, the Toronto native is doing big things and garnering accolades from industry heavy hitters.

With a torn ACL, Drake took the stage at the BET awards. It would prove to be a controversial performance as Lil Wayne's pre-teen daughter and her friends took the stage which Drake recently responded by saying "it was a terrible idea...but it is what it is." Check the story and BET's reaction here. Nevertheless the young star is multitalented and we will be hearing his name for a minute.

Drake's Best I Ever Had is taking over the airwaves and he has released the official video directed by Kanye West. Uda, uda best...haaahaaa. Enjoy!

Jay Z's Death of Autotune (D.O.A)

I would definitely say hip hop needs a bit of a rescue...ok, ok...total cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Who better to do that than the lyrical king himself Mr. Sean Carter, Hove, JHovah, Jay Z.


Jay Z is releasing the much anticipated Blueprint 3 on September 11. The first single is "Off That" featuring Drake, but Jigga has released the Kanye and No I.D. produced track, D.O.A (Death of Autotune), for the streets. Loves it!! Check it out!



Did you really listen?!? He said, "You rappers singing too much/ Get back to rap, you T-Pain-ing too much/ I’m a multi-millionaire/ So how am I the hardest n—a here?". Wow!!

I've been waiting for autotune to die for awhile now. Thanks jigga!!

Chrisette Michelle

So I know that I am constantly craving new music. Well not just new music, but GOOD music. There is nothing like listening to a real love song or a song's lyrics and composition that seem to whisper to your soul; pure, substantial, memorable.

Flair would like to put the spotlight on an artist who's music encompasses all of these things. In line with Etta James, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, our generation has Chrisette Michelle.


In the follow up to her debut album 'I Am', Michelle's second solo album 'Epiphany' debut at no. 1, on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 83,000 copies the first week. The daughter of a deacon father and choir director mother, Chrisette's vocal range is soulful, melodic and intoxicating. The title track from the album 'Epiphany' is blazing and getting continuos airplay.

Go get the album!! No questions. It is unbelievable and heartful from a young woman who just embodies raw talent. Here's the official video for 'Epiphany'.
