Passport: Brian Releases “Can’t Stop” with Jay Park & Dumbfoundead
In K-Pop news, Korean American singer Brian Joo has dropped a new album in the motherland called Reborn Part 1. Why this news is particularly a-Tunese worthy is because one of the singles, “Can’t Stop” features one of his fellow kyopo artists, Jay Park, along with a rap verse from California’s Dumbfoundead. Now, this particular line up is for the English version of the song, with the Korean rendition substituting another MC in for Dumb. You can grab the song on iTunes and stream it via the Youtube link below… for now.

FM Debuts the Music Video For “Jello”
It’s that new new from FM and Rye Rye. Here is the official music video for their latest single, “Jello”. We’ll share our thoughts once we’ve peeped it ourselves.
[Update] The video is par for the course. A general smorgasbord of goofy antics and debauchery all set to the bass booming tunage. The celebrity look-a-likes remind me of some of Em’s zanier MVs but the cameos are where the real surprises are at. Shout out to Jay Park, I see you at the end there.[/Update]

Snapshot: Jay Park x AJ Rafael x Traphik
Jay Park x AJ Rafael x Traphik
This is an awesome pic we found on twitter of Jay Park, AJ Rafael, and Traphik posing together. Always encouraging to see artists cultivating relationships on both a professional and personal level. I believe this picture was taken at the ISA LA event from earlier this month but don’t quote me on that. For the uninformed, Jay Park is a former member of the KPop group 2PM before being forced out of the group and branching off on his own international career. AJ Rafael is one of the earliest singers to gain a following on Youtube and has steadily built up his career in the past few years. Traphik is a comedian/rapper/media personality known for his outlandish videos and various projects across several mediums.
Jay Park Features for Cha Cha Malone on “Single Life”
Jay Park has once again joined forces with his fellow Art of Movement dance crew member, Cha Cha Malone. They’ve previously collabed on “Bestie” and “Speechless”. Malone, a singer and producer in his own right, got Park to contribute guest vocals for their latest called “Single Life”, a mid-tempo Pop/R&B tune. Admittedly, we’re a tad late in sharing this with you all – but in case any of you missed it thus far, we imagine you’d still want to hear it. There are a lot of options to obtain the song. First, you can stream it via Youtube below. If you want a copy for yourself, you can purchase via Bandcamp, or DL for free using one of the following. file sharing links.

Jay Park Unleashes a “Demon” MV
KPOP boy band member turn international solo artist, Jay Park, has just posted up the music video for his latest English single – “Demon”. The dance-heavy track features some impressive choreography and a decently catchy tune though I found the visuals to be a just a tad underwhelming. The song is the result of his previously announced collaboration with veteran producer Teddy Riley. Glad the song finally saw the light of day and that it plays to Jay’s strengths.
The Youtube Top 40 Rap Remix Round-Up – 8/7/11
Another day, another endless batch of Youtube covers and remixes. Today’s theme is Top 40 Rap which of course includes remixes of the biggest names of late including Fab, Bad Meets Evil, Drake, Jay, Kanye and more. There are a few surprises in store including crooner Paul Kim showing his versatility by opting to spit a few bars, a conceptual remix by Triangle Offense and their ode to the Dark Knight, possibly the hungriest verses I’ve heard yet from the OnFire Ent crew, and that’s just to name a few. Check em all out below.

New Jay Park Cover Video & Dance Footage
The one and only Jay Park has a new video up where he further dives into the Hip-Hop world, rapping over and remixing Chris Brown’s “Look at Me Now” and “Deuces”. In general, Jay’s rapping skills seemed to be improving with every drop, that is until this one. To this humble blogger, his delivery felt more forced and sloppier than this last couple drops. His double-time needs just a little more refinement in the lab. But for the all the Jay Park fans out there (and I know there’s a lot of you), I’m sure you’ll think I’m an idiot and will love this video. As a bonus you can catch some pretty nice footage of him doing his thing on the dance floor.
