Kanye West To Debut 'Cruel Summer' Short Film At Cannes Kanye West doesn't know how to do small, so whenever the rapper unveils a new project it's almost always on the biggest platform possible. That explains why his new "short art film," "Cruel Summer," will debut on the fabulous Palm Beach in Cannes, France during the Cannes Film Festival. The hush-hush movie, inspired by the upcoming all-star G.O.O.D. Music album of the same name, will world premiere on May 23 and remain open to the public for two days afterward. It is being screened out of competition in Cannes amid the world-famous film fest. And, this being Kanye, the project is described as, "a fusion of short film and art installation ... an immersive '7 screen experience' for the eyes and ears unlike anything West has attempted before." Among those listed as starring in the film are comedian Aziz Ansari, Kid Cudi, Lebanese actress Razane Jammal ("Djinn") and Palestinian actor Ali Suliman ("The Kingdom"). Yeezy is listed as the producer, writer and director of the effort, based on a screenplay by Elon Rutberg, who was the associate director of the Throne's "N----s in Paris" video. The co-director is Alexandre Moors, who worked with West on "Runaway" as well as the "Paris" clip. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1685372/kanye-west-cruel-summer-short-film-cannes.jhtml 4 Yr.

While recognizing that sampling has been an important staple of rap--and has played a key role in its success--Ali wants to create more opportunities for live musicians in the genre. This live sound, popular in the south, is a key element to his emerging sound. He says: "I want to combine down south musical sensibilities with up north-East Coast lyricism and word play." If there is one rap tradition Ali has followed wholeheartedly without hesitation it's performing live. From New York City to North Carolina to Atlanta, Ali has honed his skills at dozens of battles, open mics, and other live shows--including recent openings for 50 cent, Killer Mike, Bone Crusher and the Lyricists Lounge Tour featuring Dead Prez. Ali has quickly built an audience hungry for his clever rhymes and crisp delivery beginning with Tallahassee, Florida while enrolled as a Business student at Florida A&M University. HIs independent release Unforgettable quickly topped the charts in radio play and swept through the southeast. The phenomenon continues present day in Atlanta and DC. With a short period, Haziq has sold an estimated 7400 copies of his 16-track CD, We Come to Party, But We Don't Play, an incredible feat considering Ali personally made these sales "hustla style" at small shows. The underground release includes the joint 'Get Hit Up, a collabo with Beanie Sigel, and 'Get Down (featuring the rock band Black Ant) while was No. 1 on XM Radio's rock channel for three months. Also featured on the album is Godspeed, which has been licensed for use by MTV in the show Who Got Game and also performed at the Olympic Headquarters in Colorado Springs in addition to being included on the Olymic F.L.A.M.E. compilation. This project as well as the upcoming album, Con dence Game, features production by SKI, who has produced tracks for Jay-Z, Nature, Nas, and Lil'Kim, and Tahir of Dead Prez fame. So how did he get hooked up with such high pro le assistance? Ghostwriting for other, higher prole, artists. When the big boys come callin' for help, thats a sure sign there's repower in the arsenal. Haziq recently won the Icon of the Underground award at the 2005 Atlanta Underground Awards and is last years winner of the esteemed Hustler of the Year award. http://twitter.com/HAZIQ/favorites http://www.collegeDJ.net/hip-hop/dc-haziq-ali/ Maybach Music Group - Self Made Vol. 2 Tracklist Maybach Music Group – Self Made Vol. 2 Tracklist 1 Power Circle/Gunplay, Stalley,Wale & Meek Mill featuring Rick Ross & Kendrick Lamar 2 Black Magic/Meek Mill featuring Rick Ross 3 This Thing Of Ours/Wale & Omarion featuring Rick Ross & Nas 4 All Birds/Rick Ross featuring French Montana 5 Actin Up/Wale & Meek Mill featuring French Montana 6 Fountain Of Youth/Stalley featuring Rick Ross & Nipsey Hussle 7 I Be Puttin’ On/Wale featuring Wiz Khalifa, French Montana & Roscoe Dash 8 The Zenith/Wale & Stalley featuring Rick Ross 9 M.I.A./Omarion & Wale 10 Bag Of Money/Wale & Meek Mill featuring Rick Ross & T-Pain 11 Let’s Talk/Omarion featuring Rick Ross 12 Black On Black/Gunplay featuring Ace Hood & Bun B 13 FluorescentInk/Stalley & Wale featuring Rick Ross 14 Bury Me A G/Rick Ross featuring T.I.
