Recap: Jay Z's Blueprint 3 Tour & Pre-Party

So Tuesday, it was Roc Nation Radio on 92Q! 92Q Played Jay Z songs all day! Everyone was getting ready for the Blueprint 3 concert that night at the First Mariner Arena!

Before the concert jumped-off, 92Q had a Pre-Party for its listeners! Their was food from Culinary Innovations, DJ Ted Skola, and DJ Kenny K was giving your favorite Jay Z songs, and it was all hosted by Konan, Neke, and myself-Kels! Shouts out to Paula Campbell who stopped thru (and Im still asking her to "move"-you'll see in the video)! Special Thanks to Monique Davis and Atlantic Records!

Want to hear something crazy??? I was going to giveaway my Jay Z tix to a listeners (that's dedication and love)! To get my tickets, we kicked off a Jay Z Karaoke contest!



After the contest, it was time to go to the show...but first before the show started, I got a chance to go kick it with Jay Z and Beyonce. I'm not going to tell you about that story-it was kinda embarassing! How did I walk right past Beyonce and not realize it was her? lol. Pictures coming soon!

If you missed the show, here's some of what you missed!

R. Kelly 'Makes The Ladies Scream' IN Bmore

Sunday night, R. Kelly owned Baltimore when his 'Make The Ladies Scream' tour rolled into town.

I was able to get some up close and personal exclusives with Mr. Kelly, but got to say a BIG thank you to the Urban Informer photographer, James Murphy, for putting in work.

Big ups to the 1st Lady of Baltimore, Paula Campbell, who opened the show up right for Kellz!

Urban Quickies: Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, Tiny, and more!

Everybody loves a quickie every now and then....so let's jump right into it!

Jay-Z's North American tour kicks off tonight at Penn State University. Wale joins him on the jaunt, which will make 24 stops at a mix of college campus arenas and traditional venues. The tour wraps up November 22nd in Austin, Texas.


Snoop Dogg guest stars on tonight's episode of the new FOX sitcom Brothers, starring Michael Strahan and Daryl "Chill" Mitchell. Snoop tells AllHipHop.com,

"I'm their cousin that shows up, not supposed to but by accident. I went to jail once upon a time and came up on some things. I got my literature together, and now I'm a lawyer that represents my cousin Mike who's a football player trying to get his money back. I'm like the New Age Johnnie Cochran, with some pimp moves."

BET has renewed Tiny and Toya for a second season. (Runs to cancel his cable subscription) Tiny, who's still close with Xscape member Kandi Burruss -- says Burruss is "doing as to be expected," following the death of her former fiance Ashley "AJ" Jewell. She also is confirming rumors that once she dated Jewell herself.

"I did date him years ago and he was a cool guy, but I really don't wanna comment on what kind of man he was because I'm in a relationship that I respect to the fullest."

Tiny cleared that up REAL quick. She don't want to piss Tip off. She know Tip would have cancelled christmas with the QUICKNESS


With his debut disc Thank Me Later not due until next year, Drake says he'll likely release a few more mixtapes in the meantime. He tells MTV,

"I'm working every day, and...I get all the requests like, 'Oh, we can't wait to hear you and Jay[-Z] spit together, and we need another mixtape'... Sometimes you have to listen to them and give them what they want. So, that's my goal."

Drake says of his forthcoming debut,

"It's going to be a very interesting record because I'm really going to have to dig deep and tell stories that people can relate to. But it's kind of hard, because my life is at a very different place now."

I guess it is really in a different place now. First you were walking and you didn't want to follow your doctor's advice, and now your sitting!
