News Local rapper signs with Jive
Posted By Mike McCray on Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 3:44 PM
Got word for Sony Music earlier today that Charlotte native, S Dub, is Jive Records' newest signee.
In the release, Jive's A&R Manager, Ant Rich, said, “S Dub’s ability to make records that have an innate sense of commercialism without compromising any sense of integrity will no doubt lead to great success on the charts as well as in the streets. We are very excited to have formed this partnership and look forward to the continued success.”
All S Dub had to say about his signing was, “I feel honored and blessed to show my talent to the World and look forward to cementing a foundation for myself. I hope to represent the best of what North Carolina has to offer.”
New Releases / Opinion / News Jersey Shore girl tries to rap

A clip has been released from the first song by Angelina from The Jersey Shore, a "reality" show on MTV.
It's called "I'm Hot."
Um... this song sucks. No other way to say it. Probably the worst thing to hit the air since, well, The Jersey Shore... or one of the songs from the Real Housewives.
