Happy “Feel Good” Monday Family

It is no secret that the American industry has, and is, embracing African artistry in a massive way. Just this weekend I had a pleasant surprise of seeing one of Africa’s songstresses, Lira, have her hit single “Feel Good“ played on VH1 Soul. The song is a very mellow yet energy boosting, with a very motivational, smooth, jazzy tune that carries a profound message that needs to be heard in today’s society.

Elizabeth Ahmed Had Ray J Twisted

For the folks who love reality television, you are going to love this contestant. She has managed to get the forums spewing hate (must mean that she is drop-dead gorgeous), and is a transplant from Russia. Born to a Russian mother and Nigerian father, she has been featured in several music videos, predominantly with R. Kelly, and has been in Motorsports Magazine, Jet Magazine, and Rolling Out Magazine.

She was on VH1′s reality series, ‘For The Love Of Ray-J‘ where she has managed to stay in the running for a long time against other girls vying for Ray J’s heart (and money). She was abruptly eliminated when he found out that her photographer was also her manager and that she was on the show for exposure and a career boost.
