2 Chainz Reveals That He's Been Working With Kanye West For The Past Year
Newly signed Def Jam artist 2 Chainz has revealed his steady grind over the past year has been quietly supported by Grammy-winning rap star and fellow labelmate Kanye West.
While staying mum on the details, Chainz revealed he already has joint Yeezy records in the vault.
"One thing that people may not know is that I've been working with Kanye West for the past year," 2 Chainz said on Wednesday during his appearance on "RapFix Live." "We have records together, we have ideas that we're planning on releasing to the world real soon. I'm tryna get my 'Niggas in Paris' swag up. ... For the most part, when we started building our relationship, we found out we had more things in common than different from a musical standpoint. It's no secret that I came from the hustle background, from that trap, and it's no secret that he's maybe more of a hipster swag, backpack kinda guy. So I think it'll be interesting when you just drop that in the pot, in the blender, and see the outcome and results of some of that." SOHH

Kerry Washington Covers Essence
Actress Kerry Washington looks super sexy on the March 2012 issue of Essence magazine.
She says in the mag:
“I think it’s a really special time to be a woman of color in this business,” says cover girl Washington. “The landscape of who has the power is changing. We are in more influential positions and are able to have a say in the stories that are told. I feel very lucky to be in the business now…”
Washington says she was inspired by a certain American Idol judge. “I grew up blocks away from Jennifer Lopez. She and I went to the same Boys & Girls Club. She was like the dancer who made it big and moved to Hollywood.”
