By now I’m sure that you all have heard Willow Smith’s debut hit song ‘Whip My Hair’ and if you haven’t… clearly you have been living under a rock. Willow, the daughter of actors Will and Jada Smith has definitely made her mark with this song. Less than a month ago she dropped ‘Whip My Hair’ and already  her single can be heard on just about every hip hop and pop radio station. Oh and did I mention she is signed to Jay-Z’ s label, Roc Nation. Yeah that’s right…that means she’s official!

Before I actually had the chance to hear this song, I heard the hype surrounding it and I must admit that I didn’t think twice about it. I remember saying that this was going to be another case of celebrities trying to push their not so talented child to follow in their footsteps. I was so wrong! This girl has got it going on…her swag is so ridiculous! The song is very positive and upbeat and I absolutely love it! She may have taken us by surprise with this one but I got a feeling that we can expect great things from this 9-year-old  in the future.

Curtis Young aka Hood Surgeon, son of the legendary Dr. Dre is following in his father’s footsteps and launching his own recording label, Young Entertainment Inc. Young refers to his music as a “new era of positive feel good music for the West Coast.” He plans to release his debut solo album Product of My DNA this Summer  off of his record label. Young has already been on several mixtapes, including Family Tree Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, Son of A Doctor and Billionaire Dreams.

Young tells AllHipHop,  “My world became complete when I finally met my father at the age of 21,” he adds,  “I am extremely grateful for my father paving the road for me and many other artists. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to take over a legacy. As a producer, my father has set extremely high standards to existing and upcoming producers all over the globe but my hard and dedicated work will show everyone that I deserve the name Young.”

Young’ s album will be surprisingly personal, he shares how he met his father Dr. Dre and gives details about their relationship.

“For my debut album, you can expect to learn about the making of Curtis Young,” Young promised. “The story of actually becoming a product of society. People can expect to hear the true meaning of ‘Product Of My DNA’ that will let people know who Curtis Young is and how I learned about my father, Dr. Dre.”

In a move of good gesture, France has canceled and forgave Haiti of all debts incurred between the two nations. Maybe more nations will follow in France’s footsteps. While nations from all around the world are still pouring into the devastated country with aid and man-power, the rescue efforts have not ceased. There have been numerous accounts of people still being rescued alive recently. In a sadder note, the death toll has been estimated at 200,000.  My prayers still go out to Haiti and anyone that has been effected by the disaster.
