Pharrell Introduces His Favorite New Singer: Yuna, Malaysia’s Best Kept Secret
Yuna Peforms “Lullabies” in Brooklyn
These days, it’s tough to find vocalists that you won’t forget as soon as the next Rick Ross video drops. We’re over exposed to music and it doesn’t look like the overload will let up any time soon. So it’s a real treat when the MissInfo.tv crew comes across a singer that we’re impressed by. A few weeks ago we introduced you to Yuna (by way of Fader), a souful Malaysian singer/songwriter that caught the attention of Pharrell… and Gabz! Like many of you, we fell in love with her soothing voice, which meshed so well over the vintage-sounding Pharrell beat of “Live Your Life.”
Last night, we got to witness Yuna’s incredible talent, first hand. From Rubber Tracks studio in Brooklyn, this newcomer blew us away with her live songs. Check out what we saw above.
(Special thanks to the Fader/Cornerstone family for putting this together)

A$AP Rocky Introduces His Favorite Song Off ‘Live.Love.A$AP’
(A$AP Rocky introduces “Get Lit” at his NYC listening session)
Last night, A$AP Rocky gave journalists their first listen to his debut mixtape, Live.Love.A$AP. The last minute session was your typical rap listening: chicken wings, booze and tons of weed smoke. However, the music that the young Harlemite introduced was definitely a new wave. I’ve been thinking about how I’m going to describe it and I can only say it’s “Harlem Trill.” The beats are slowed down and spacey but everything about Rocky screams New York. It just oozes out of him. You’ll see what I mean on Halloween, when the mixtape drops. For now, here’s a clip of Rocky introducing his favorite cut from Live.Love.A$AP.

Rick Ross vs. Stalley ‘Beard Battle,’ Plus Rozay’s Favorite Rappers
The biggest beards from the Maybach Music camp faced off in ATL. After Ross big-upped his latest signee, Stalley, MTV’s Rob Markman made them face off in a best beard showdown. Stalley takes the cake, but I think if they brought Freeway and Jakk Frost in the picture, it’d be a different story.

J.Cole’s VIBE Takeover: Favorite Lines, Meeting Nas and Beyonce, Advice From Jay-Z, Dr. Dre
Cole sat down with my homegirl Tracy G for a lengthy chat on a wide array of interesting talking points. Everything from Cole’s own favorite verses, his first time meet Nas and Beyonce, the best advice he got from Jay and Dr. Dre and more were covered. Check out this excerpt and the rest below.
J.Cole: I think I was trying to explain to Jay-Z something about why I couldn’t put out a particular record and said ‘Yo man, you gotta understand my fans look at me like I’m the chosen one. If I put that out they’ll look at me like I’m crazy.’ And he looked at me and said, ‘Yo, I could fill a graveyard full of chosen ones’ and went on to say how it’s about keeping old fans, but reaching new ones. So when said that it basically meant, ‘Do you want to be the chosen one and never grow?’ Because to me Cannabis was the chosen one in my book, but it never really panned out for him.
I also got some other great advice from Jay-Z. One time I was complaining about being on the road so much. My vibe was like how am I supposed to make an album the way I want to when I’m on the road so much. And he was like ‘Yo ni–a that’s where you need to be because that’s where you get these experiences. You go to the club, you saw what works and what doesn’t work. You get the stories so you can incorporate them in your verses better. “
