Hennessy Debuts 'Made for More' Campaign... Starring Damson Idris and Teyana Taylor

Damson Idris and Teyana Taylor are two exploding artists, and I wanted to ensure we captured their essence. Even when he’s playing, Damson exudes style! And Teyana is just the epitome of cool. I think these qualities shine through in spades and fit perfectly with this new direction for Hennessy.

-Andreas Nilsson/Director of the 'Made for More' ads

Hennessy Very Special (which in this case should stand for Very Sexy) debuts their new campaign 'Made for More' starring hollywood heartthrobs, Damson Idris and Teyana Taylor.  The campaign aims to explore the infinite versatility of Hennessy Very Special with aesthetically pleasing visuals and introductions of several Hennessy cocktail recipes such as the Hennessy Margarita, Hennessy Honey Highball, Hennessy Pineapple and more.

Watch the 1 minute teaser below:

Mixtape :: The Cassette Tape 1994 | Teyana Taylor

The project was supposed to release weeks ago, but oddly was pushed back by the label.  I think it may have benefited Teyana, because the anticipation increased.  The dope behind the scenes footage she posted on Instagram here and there, also, helped.  Five tracks total in with a 90s R & B type feel.

{Personal Post} :: So... I answered 59 Random Questions.

The homie Dev over at ColdKnowledge found a questionnaire on tumblr and participated by answering the questions on a recent blog post (that you can view here).  His answers intrigued me, so I thought .. hey.. maybe I should take a stab at it myself.  Here goes nothing...

1.  First thing you wash in the shower?
Depends.  I try to switch it up to get my brain juices flowing.  Nevertheless, mostly.. the left arm pit.  Lol

2. Are you more of a coffee or alcohol drinker?
Presently, half and half- that includes equal on both actual consumption and the amount of consumption.
I prefer l’agua though. 

Video :: Push It | iSHi x Pusha T

No room for the weak
or the timid...

Pusha links up with Stockholm Swedish producer iSHi. While there isn't very much information floating the net about the collab, there's no denying that the mesh of Pusha's solid lyrics and iSHi's heavy drum electric production resulted in undeniable dopeness.
*pusha snarl... Ewgh!

I'm sorry you didn't just understand
just how to be my man...

New music has surfaced!
This piano assisted ballad behind her lovely voice expresses pure emotion that one can only truly feel if they went through it. Teyana hit a few nerves with this one.. mine included. Listen below::
"I'm sorry you didn't know how to love me..."

Video : Thim Slick | Fabolous x Jeremih

Nxggas on Instagram like
'damn I need to call her'...

Fab premiered the video yesterday for one of his most talked about tracks on 'The Soul Tape 3'. He pays tribute to us petite gals with curves a.k.a. 'thim slick' (get it?) with help from Jeremih, Teyana Taylor, and a few more slim minnies. Since all songs mostly reference things like 'thick red bones'...'thick like Trina'...'watch out for the big girls' etc. etc.... we finally got one of our own. This is appreciated.

Chris Brown vs Drake.. (Again)....

Ok.. so I heard bits and pieces of this story on the way to the plantation this morning. However, I didn't think it was THIS bad. Apparently, last night (photo'd below) Teyana Taylor had a party at the Greenhouse in NYC celebrating her signing with G.O.O.D Music. Some of the attendees featured the likes of Karreuche Tran, Meek Mill, Trey Songz, Drake etc. Most recently, there have been subliminals thrown back and forth between Chris Brown, Drake, and Meek Mill.... ALL circling Rihanna. She is Chris Brown's ex, Dated Drake for a while, and most recently was tied to Meek Mill. However, Meek set it straight quickly that there was absolutely nothing going on between the two. I believe he hit.. and that was it.. but I'll carry on. The rumors escalated when Chris Brown pulled Meek off one of his records after hearing of the Rihanna allegations. Where does Drake fit into this? Well, (while this is all transpiring over twitter), decided to throw in his two cents too, which was an obvious salt cry because she played him the hardest.

Anywho, the FULL story of why this happened last night hasn't been reported, but apparently Drake threw a bottle at Chris Brown and things went absolutely nuts from there. Chris tweeted a photo via his instagram to show the scar of being hit with the bottle.

Along with several tweets.

His honey, Karreuche, didn't say much but, also, tweeted a subliminal.

Meek adds comedy to the situation by adding this:

I'm not sure what the hell is going on... but when I hear.. you guys will hear.

The questions from those of "What does she do?" can NOW stop.  Teyana releases her anticipated mixtape to show and prove one of the things she "can" do.  I've always been a fan of her talent.  I hope her fans enjoy

I like this one...ALOT. 

Teyana seems like she's ready for that long awaited album now.  Check out DU.I. below:

Apollyon's Theme| Tyga ft. Teyana Taylor

Looks like something I'll be bangin all week {played it 3 times so far}. You can catch Teyana serenading the track around the 5:30 mark. Syced the whole song.  Tyga is one of the few who has a unique way of expressing himself.  I dig that. 
 Sn:  I think it would behoove you to check out the background of "Apollyon" if you aren't already familiar.  That makes the song a little more interesting...
