Nathan's performances definitely blew my mind when I first heard them. As far as beat boxing goes, to be able to play an instrument while doing your craft makes it all the more dope. Support this raw piece of talent coming straight out of the streets of London, UK!
Wanna know what our commander in chief watches when he's not solving the world's biggest problems? That's right, Entourage. Here's a sneek peak of HBO's Entourage starting July 12.
Here's the season 5 Last episode recap ...After another late night drowning their sorrows, the guys gather in Vince's mom's kitchen in Queens as she demands to know why her son can't play the lead in Gus Van Sant's latest feature: Page Six says that Joaquin Phoenix dropped out. But when E calls Ari, he informs him Gus isn't a fan; the director even refuses to have Vince audition. Undeterred, Eric goes to Gus's office to try and get Vince a shot. Meanwhile, Vince's mom surprises him with a welcome home party and he and the guys catch up with friends and family. Drama continues to give Turtle a hard time about the mysterious calls he's getting, but Turtle refuses to say anything until Drama grabs the phone away and Jamie-Lynn comes clean. After waiting all day, E finally catches Gus and convinces him to watch Vince's footage from 'Smokejumpers.' Ari balks, but manages to get the footage to Gus, who calls E and Vince, impressed, but not enough to cast him. At the end of his rope, Vince fires E, blaming him for his career failures. Furious, Eric heads back to LA. When Vince gets a surprise offer from Martin Scorsese to star in his next film, Ari points out that it's actually due to E - since it was Gus who slipped Marty the 'Smokejumpers' takes. Back in Hollywood, E won't take Vince's calls so he returns to mend their friendship in person; with a group hug in Eric's office, the boys are back in business.

Jack White's new super group, The Dead Weather, formed in Nashville just this year but their music sounds vintage, authentic and downright infectious. Consisting of The Kills' Alison Mosshart (vocals) , Queens of the Stone Age's Dean Fertita (guitars), Jack Lawrence of The Raconteurs & The Greenhornes (bass) and Jack White of The White Stripes & The Raconteurs (drums/vocals), the group brings a dark thumping sound that leaves you wanting more. On July 14, Dead Weather will release their debut album called Horehound. Their debut single "Hang You from the Heavens" is available on itunes and the group recently performed the song at The Tonight Show with Conan O'brien.
So Jay-Z said auto tune is dead right? Well, besides the fact that it's been played out, he probably saw these clips. Back story on this West Coast cat , Red, is that he was freestyling outside of the HVW8 offices, someone caught it on their phone, and now this homeless dude has fresh producers lined up to work with him. Last word on this guy though is that he is locked up, but it doesn't mean he can't make the music...inmates are getting an earlful of Red's bluesy flows.
Red - The Man Without the Machine’s first single, I should tell ya momma on you, with remixes by CHOPS and Dam-Funk, will be out July 23rd on iTunes.
Stay updated to Red's situation right here. Lets hope he comes thru and records material and shuts all this autotune madness down.
