Hand In Hand” / Acrylic on Ping Pong Paddles mounted to masonite

Yes, ping pong paddles. That was the challenge and inspiration for my latest piece. Which has got to be the opposite of my recent project the Kings billboard.

I chose this medium to actually be a part of a bigger collective show that is the Ambiguous Paddle Show showing this weekend, December 12th and United State Boutique in Sacramento. I wanted to depict the relationship with my wife with the imagery and paddles." - Garibaldi

Kelis Leaks New Song 'Acapella' Produced By David Guetta PLUS Message To Fans | New Sound, New Label, New Album Coming Soon...


Stop what you're doing! Kelis just leaked her new, David Guetta produced, electro-club-banger "Acapella" on Twitter (@IAmKelis).

She's back with a new sound, a new look, and even a new label (more on that later...)

"Acapella" (Produced by David Guetta)

Kelis also posted a special message to her fans on her new website www.IAmKelis.com

"Well, walking through the streets of NY this summer...I use the term walking loosely...I was extremely pregnant and probably doing more of a very slow creep down each humid sticky block...people had so much to say to me. You know us New Yorkers don't ever keep anything to ourselves...I was asked if I would ever put another album out. I suppose people assumed after the baby and divorce and all the time I took off (went to culinary school during my break which was amazing and another conversation) that it would be on to motherhood for me. And well that's true...as I lay here with my perfect little won ton now writing you all this message. My answer was always the same. "Soon come guys" ;) and so here we are. My album is pretty much done. I signed a new deal and I'm madly in love with life and ready to share something with you. My song is called "Acapella" and I wrote it with love and life in mind. I hope that it finds you well and that you love it, cause honestly I do! Muah!"

-Kelis

"P.S. to all the people who have stuck around and supported me all these years do know that I sincerely feel you and love you! We did this all together"

Lady Gaga's 'The Fame Monster' IN STORES TODAY!...

"Given the strength of these eight stopgap songs – it's amazing to think they were due to be lumped in on a re-release – Lady Gaga is the real deal. This world and others had better watch out." - MusicOMH

"It's a whole new direction and I feel every track has potential to be a single. The question is, are you ready for another year filled with Gaga?" - Jonny Alis Blog

"If you’re concerned about whether Gaga deserted the path she forged on The Fame, then fear not.“Monster,” “Telephone” and “Teeth” thump harder than anything she’s released thus far. “Bad Romance” was just a satisfying appetizer!" - BlogCritics

"The follow-up to her breakthrough album The Fame picks up where her debut left off, while reminding listeners that Lady Gaga is here to stay..... the experience promises to be monstrous." - Rap-Up

Snag your own copy of Lady Gaga's new masterpiece, 'The Fame Monster' from our Ebay Store.

Poca The Papergirl...

A little older and a lot wiser, this Bronx native is keeping the ball rolling. Not the previously beloved basketball dream, but her current dream of being "One of the best to pick up a Mic." A lot has changed since Poca the Papergirl’s last mixtape, “Where Poc Been?”. Image wise, she has done away with the 'Bone Straight Hair' (that most know her for), and has decided to take the spiritual route of 'Locking her hair'...“No perm just some Locks and a Long John”, is how Poca would describe it.

Another thing that has changed, in which Poca is very proud of, is that she now holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management. Though she has yet to find her niche in the business world, Poca is a strong believer in fate and believes her struggles are not in vein. Instead, she believes they came in order to encourage people going through the same, by way of her music.

During her hiatus, Poca has grown and rebirthed. She is even more passionate about her story, her struggles, and her lyrics this time around than she has on her previous project. “Where Poc Been?” has allowed her to be featured in/on media outlets such as OnWaxMagazine.com, StreetCoSignor.com, SoulfullVibes.net, and Respectance.com. With guest appearances by Skyzoo, Hasan Insane, John Shotti, Wordsmith, Eric G (producer), and battle queen Lady Luck on her upcoming project, Poca is sure to gain much more media attention this time around.

With the Nikes laced up and the Polo shirt brushed off, Poca is ready to lead the movement for “Papergirls” everywhere. When asked who she is this time around, Poca simply replies,
“The Comeback Kid! Back like I never left. Ahhhhh, ha, ha, ha, ha”!

ART: Garibaldi | “See With Love” // Closer Look At New Painting (VIDEO)...

'See With Love'
"I wanted to share with you the inspiration behind it." - Garibaldi

'There is a really inspiring young guy named Jaeson Ma who is an up and coming inspirational musician, speaker, and pastor. I was reading one of his posts on Twitter (@jaesonma) the other day that read, “3 things asking God to help me grow in & become better at 1) Listening 2) Patience 3) Selflessness”. When I read that I realized I need and want to see the world in a whole new way. So the painting reflects something that has been on my heart lately, and I don’t think it’s too much to ask if we could all see through the eyes of “Love”. Check out he video that tells the story of what it took to create this painting
