The Diamond In The Rough: The T-Pain Session

This week, T-Pain released his 4th studio album, Revolver. The album features appearances from Lil' Wayne, Chris Brown & more.

Releasing his 1st album in 2005, T-pain has since become a household name, as almost everyone has at least one song featuring T-Pain in their playlist. His use of auto-tune is such a signature part of his career that their is even a children's toy out & an i-phone app out allowing you to "sound like T-Pain".

I've had the pleasure of sharing a stage with T-Pain and he's not only a great performer, but on every funny dude.

Tonight (Dec 8), psychology pays homage to the sound of T-Pain with The Diamond In The Rough: The T-Pain Session, on K103 radio at midnight.

The Diamond In The Rough: The Heavy D Tribute

On November 8th, 2011, the hip hop world lost a pioneer & an icon. Dwight Arrington Myers, better known as Heavy D passed away due to pneumonia.

Heavy D & the Boyz were the first group signed to Uptown Records; releasing 6 albums with the label which Heavy D later became president. He helped to develop rhythm-and-blues singer Mary J. Blige's career and hired Sean Combs as an intern. During this time, Myers also developed the sensational R&B boy band Soul for Real, and was the executive producer and principal writer of several songs on the group's breakout album, Candy Rain.

Pun's lyrics are notable for technical efficiency, having minimal pauses to take a breath, heavy use of alliteration as well as internal and multi-syllabic rhyming schemes.
