So I thought I'd be a lil less shy and actually post a vid of ME singing..., heres my OLD lil remix of Drake's fall for your type track. I thought it would be really interesting to sing it from a females perspective, singing about the pain of being with someone in the public eye....I tried.
p.s. Sie-eye 2 those claiming i lip-sync..this is not Britney spears (no shade i love you britbrit but girl...)

**UK Watch Out For* Kevin Mccall
I must admit as Kevin Mccall is not so big here in the UK, I didn't know much about his music (a couple songs here and there) but not a lot. However one thing I did know for sure was that he was a talented artist, which was enough for me to check out his Un-invited Guest Mixtape...and I must say IF YOU DONT HAVE THIS MIXTAPE..U NEED TO GET IT! I can honestly say there was not a single track I disliked or did not find myself bopping my head to.
It is very rare to find a mixtape these days that you could listen to whatever mood your in which is what makes Kevin Mccall's Un-invited Guest so special. Songs such as Rest of my life will have you reminiscing/dreaming/regretting about a past love (..lord knows I did) with its beautiful harmonies/lyrics from Mccall and Brown , this is not just a love song in fact its so beautiful its almost poetry with lyrics such as 'No more wakin up to Sunday morning..Now Live to Learn, Learned alot'' and ''its the last time im holding you Rest of my life with you tonight Spendin rest of my life with you tonight'' (he got me with that one). Then on the other hand songs such as '360'' will have you screaming to your haters like ''IMMA BE DAT MUTHAFUCKER''!.. definitely gonna be my theme tune for the summer :).
So all you lot in the UK and (abroad..dont think i dont see you ;-) ) I listed reasons why you should support Kevin Mccal and get His mixtape:
1. He has a BEAUTIFUL voice
2. Hes an incrediblygood great rapper/lyricist
3. He brings a breath of fresh air to the industry
4. Music for all moods
5. Music for the ladies and the dudes!
6. He's got a BAWDYYYY-AWDDYY (i had to..)

*Watch Out For* Beauty Skool Dropouts
Twitter is such an amazing thing :).
Recently whilst going through my messages, I saw a Message from the girls of BSD with a link to their new video on youtube. Now as someone who ALWAYS receives these kind of messages from artists on twitter I originally had good expectations but not Great, that all changed of course until i heard the Track ''Mr Men'' and all i have to say is...fiyah!!! Not only do i LOVE the song (damn girls got me bopping my head singing ''nice 2 meet u mr men'' all day looking like a crazy woman lol) but I am deffo a Fan!! What I love about the group is that they bring such an Unorthodox,Unique, eclectic sound that is VERY rare these days..ESPECIALLY with girl groups.
Mr Men gives me a ''KICK ASS/BAD BITCH'' vibe (if you get my drift) and the vocals are beautiful (shout out to whoever that was that hard bars too! woii lol)
The most amazing thing though, is that with all their beauty and talent these girls seem to be genuinely humble sweet girls. The group consists of Chang, Sindy and Kimmy for those that were wondering :).
Make sure you follow them on twitter: @BSDOFFICIAL and also Youtube:BSDOFFICIAL and for enquiries:Bsd@live.co.uk
Check out 'MR MEN' :

I met Trey Songz! Full Story (this is a long post lol)
With me being such a huge Trey Songz
So as you can imagine, it came as a shock and suprise when one of my old Tutors from college/mentor/journalist-inspiration the incredibly funny/talented Neil Kulkarni (aka Old asian Bloke as some of you City College students might know him ) came to me and asked me the most beautiful question my precious eyes have ever seen (it was on facebook) ...... ''what would you ask Trey Songz in a interview''..... I. ALMOST. DIED.
Realising that he was probably going to interview Trey Songz, as Kulkarni always interviews different Celebs as a freelance journalist , I dedicated the next week of my life
A couple weeks passed by when he confirmed that I could go with him as his student/''intern''...so a couple hours after I screamed like a Horror movie queen at my laptop, I booked a ticket from my university to go back home where I could meet Kulkarni before setting off to good Ol' Birmingham.
When we finally reached the venue, I realised it hadn't hit me that im about to meet Trey Songz, mr steal your girl, the man i've been a fan of since 'Gynia Boy' (that used 2 be my SH!T), I had spent too much time that day caking on makeup (which was atrocious btw...i cringe everytime i look at my pic that day what was i thinking), trying to fix the MONSTEROUS weave that had been on my head too long (would've taken it out& got my hair done had Mr Kulkarni let me know earlier..but nooooo) and finding spanx to cover the weight that i had gained that month from pigging out at university (exams do that to you). All this kept me soo busy i forgot in a couple hours I would be Face 2 Face with Mr Songz himself.
After many stares from random people probably thinking what an odd couple, me and Kulkarni were led to some room backstage and briefly spoke to one of Mr Songz entourage (he actually had an important role, I just can't remember what it is no disrespect, i was too nervous).
I noticed a lot of people that work with songz are close longtime friends of his which I found admirable, he did not forget the people he grew up with which shows how humble of a person he is.
After a few quick introductions, me checking myself in the mirror 23234 times, me shaking and wondering how the hell Neil is so laid back and not even nervous (not for himself as he's been doing this for years but for ME as i clearly couldve ruined his interview with my stan-ish ways)..it was finally time to meet Tremaine Songz......Oh god..... We were led to his dressing room (sidenote: Never in my life did i ever think id be able 2 go to his dressing room and not get arrested/security called on me).
The door Opened.
Had mental thought ''Hope my breath dont smell like what i just ate''
There he was.
Neil introduced himself. then it was my turn
As i walked towards him he smiled..SWEET MERCIFUL MARY MOTHER OF GOD his smile...
This was it. The moment i had been waiting for, all the things i've ever wanted 2 tell Trey here was my opportunity..i opened my mouth and.......
NOTHING! My dumb ass was speechless. He said hi and i wanted to reply with ''nice to meet you I'm bianca'' and all that came out was ''Umm ..Bianca'' (Kill.Me.Now. & Kill me fast)
I quickly went and sat down by the couch he was sitting on and the interview began..you wanna know what i asked him?...NOTHING. I was too nervous and plus Neil's questions were too amazing in comparison to the amateur one's I had in mind like ''How do you think you've developed as an artist'' (boring..he probably gets asked that all the time)
In the time we spent there, i surprisingly did learn ALOT from the interview about how to PROPERLY interview someone as a music journalist (not all this ''who you dating'' gossip bull-crap) and also the type of person Trey Songs is. He seemed to be very passionate and serious about his music and at the same time a VERY humble down to earth person.
As the interview came to an end, I realised this was my last chance to let him know how big of a fan I was and quickly plucked up the confidence to tell him ''Im a huuuuuuge fa, been rocking with him since gynia boy'', he was thankful and gave me a hug and kiss (on the cheek..left one..oh god i sound like such a creep).
We all briefly talked for a while before me and Kulkarni left to view the concert (Neyo + Trey Songz + Chipmunk..no shade but i only stayed for the Trey Songz performance lord knows i was too tired 2 sit and watch the other two). The show was GREATT!! As expected he is a great performer and great vocalist, i also enjoyed how he interacts with the audience making them feel like he is singing to them personally. Overall I ENJOYED my Trey Songz meet and greet :), It was refreshing to meet an established artist such as Trey Songz that was soo sweet,humble and down to earth. Although I should have been more proffessional as this was a Job, I' m quite proud of myself for not Freaking out and actually gaining new skills. Wish Mr Songz all the best in the future and if you havent been to any of his shows i'd recommend it..not just cause im a fan ;-) Thanks Neil Kulkarni for letting me have this experience.

The Rwandan U-17 Football team have shocked the nation and qualified for the World Cup, being the first Rwandan football team to qualify for the world cup.
The recent positive news of this is such a breath of fresh air for the country usually in the media for the tragic 1994 genocide, its nice to see my country in the news for a positive more upbeat story.
I will definitely be watching and supporting... GO RWANDA!!!

LIL KIM WAS DONE WRONG BY FAITH EVANS AND BIGGIES MOM?
A recent Video surfaced 'exposing' Faith Evans and Voletta Wallace on their contradictions and how Lil Kim was unfairly negatively represented in the media.
As a huge Kim AND Faith Evans fan I did not think this video would have such an impact and significant role in changing my mind about how i feel about Faith evans as it did.
Definitely worth checking out.
Shout out to @Preciouz_Blanco for making this vid!
