A week ago, the Kids Choice Awards took place and was hosted by Will Smith. It was great to see Mr.Smith back on a t.v. screen entertaining for the first time in four years. Bieber’s girlfriend Selena Gomez looked gorgeous and took home a couple of awards for favorite female singer/actress. Kristen Stewart looked great as she won for best female actress. At the end of show, Bieber himself was covered in slime along with Will Smith as Bieber “surprised” the fans by appearing at the show. It was a good show overall and it was also great to see the cast of Victorious and Taylor Swift.

Jay-Z Rocks Performance
Last night, I watched something on Youtube that was a different experience, yet made me excited me to actually attend via my laptop. American Express launched this major Twitter campaign as part of the South by SouthWest Interactive Festival. The idea is simple, American Express cardholders can link up to Twitter via a new sync service in which members can earn discounts by following tweeting certain hashtags when the opportunities arise. To really push this effort, American Express linked up with Hip Hop Mogul Jay-Z to perform a live concert in which viewers could tweet what songs they wanted to see perform, and choose to look at at the concert from a few different angles. Jay-Z performed many of his hits such as Big Pimpin, Allure, and even Glory, the track he released right after his daughter’s birth. It was definitely a nostalgia feeling for me. One thing is for sure, the proud new father brought the house down for the select 2,700 in attendance while rocking a signature snapback.

Bieber’s B-Day & Snooki’s Pregnant?
Hey there everyone I’m back with my take on a couple of things that happened in the past week or so. First, Justin Bieber has turned 18. He is officially legal for those of you out there who have been waiting with excitement. Justin celebrated his 18th birthday last week which in many of his fans eyes is a very big deal. Justin celebrated with a party over the weekend in which his lady, Selena flew from Florida to Los Angeles to surprise him. Bieber was a guest on the Ellen show on his birthday and was surprised with a car (and not just any car) by Scooter Braun. I am sure Justin has received so much more for his birthday than just this car and the extravagant party.
In other news from around the entertainment world, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is apparently pregnant despite denying prior rumors about a month ago. We’ll see how this is factored into her spinoff series with Jenni “JWoww” Farley because it must somehow be a major storyline at some point. I do extend my congratulations to Snooki though. Parenthood is a beautiful thing. I also extend some congratulations to Nick Lachey and his wife Vanessa as the latter just announced her pregnancy this week. Nick Lachey has recently been a guest co-host on Live with Kelly.

How are you today?
everything good, headed to get a fresh line for the felines
Definitely have to stay looking presentable. You are from New York, what was the upbringing like?
my upbringing was young parents (the struggle), during the crack era, public housing drama etc. a common story from the 80’s to the 90’s
Interesting. Now I dont want to take up much of your time. So Who inspired you to become an artist?
I always been into music, I started writing as a way venting and soon became my way of expressing myself
Who were some of your fav artists that you looked up to?
I wouldn’t say looked up to but the theme music for the early chapters were Nas, Kool G Rap, the Wu, MOP, Death Row
You mentioned that you started writing as a way to vent. When did you start writing?

Where did the name international gem come from?
originally stemmed from Gem Star then a bunch of sucks ran with the name. Through International on left Gem to let them know where I’m headed.
What do you like and dislike about the rap game today?
it seem like the less talented the more shine but I respect the hustle and the level of creativity being shown right now

right now I’m working on my EP, reaching out to alot of producers coming up. I want this project to be me as a whole, love & war
Whats the process for you like when it comes to writing and working on an EP?
I write whenever my mood shifts. You can’t force emotion. I may be writing 5 different songs in the course of a day. if it was real when you wrote it, the feel will remain authentic to the listeners.
What are your ultimate goals?
my goal is to be in the credits. Fame only last for so long, history is what I want to be apart of.
