Solange recently posted a new song on her blog (Hadley Street Journal) called “Fuck The Industry (Signed Sincerely)”. Here’s what she had to say about why she wrote the song:

When I heard Kanye’s “Everything I Am” I instantly fell in love. I felt my story somewhere in his. I felt his frustration yet acceptance of who he was. So I decided to put my own little twist on it:)

She also disclaims on her blog that this song isn’t directed towards anyone specifically. And that she just basically felt like expressing herself and also felt that this song “could relate to everybody”. My favorite line is, “I’m not apologetic, if you don’t like it it’s probably because you don’t get it.” Woo, go Soloooo, I’ve been rockin with you since “Sky Away” and can’t wait for the album!

Apparently this is new music from Ludacris‘ forthcoming album, Theater of the Mind (Def Jam). The song “What Them Girls Like“, which is Dark Child-produced, features Chris Brown and Sean Garrett. I like this song, I could do without Sean Garrett, though. I guess he was doing Luda a favor since he was on his single. But I hate Sean’s part, it might grow on me, but not anytime soon.

Dwyane Wade was undeniably on his game last night in China against Lithuania. Wade put up 19 points leading the team to 3 straight wins (3-0). D-Wade feels better as well as he’s playing too:

“I’m healthy again, as healthy as I’ve been in two years, and I’m excited not only about this opportunity, but I’m excited about the rest of my career,” said Wade, “I know what it takes and the weight room has become my best friend. Hard work has got me here.”
