One half of the All Star Group "Village Kidz" is J Hollow Da Great. J Hollow from Oakland, CA started rapping in '98 when he was twelve. he first started rapping with his big cousin Tamarkus in the laundry room with the kareoke set that Tamarcus had and a piano that his mama bought him for Christmas. They came up with the song "Front Line Put your Face in the Dirt." "Hush Your Mouth" was the first song they put out as the Village Kids when Onions yelled out "Village Kids" at the end of his verse. Then we dropped the self titled Village Kids album. A few years passed and everyone took a break from music but after H.U. got him on the "Lower Bottom" video, he started to feel re-inspired. Clay Wilder hit him after seeing the video , and set him up to work with producer J. Glaze. Enjoy this brand new single "I Be Blowing" from J Hollow debut solo album.

HERE IS THE LINK FOR WHITNEY HOUSTON'S FUNERAL TOMORROW

Houston’s family has agreed to allow the Associated Press to stream her private funeral on Saturday at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, the news service said. The link is livestream.com/aplive. Gospel singer and family friend Marvin Winans will give the eulogy, while Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder will sing at the service, before she is buried at Fair View Cemetery in Westfield. Though officials had discussed the possibility of a public memorial at the Prudential Center in Newark, the Houston family has ruled this out. Gov. Chris Christie has defended a plan to fly the state and American flags in New Jersey at half-staff on Saturday in Ms. Houston’s honor, tweeting that he was doing so in recognition of “her cultural contributions as an artist & New Jerseyan.

JANET JACKSON IS FLIRTING WITH BEING A X FACTOR JUDGE

Just one week after The Hollywood Reporter broke news that Whitney Houston was under consideration for a judge's seat on the show, reports have surfaced that another pop icon is throwing her hat in the ring. After an awkward interaction with Anderson Cooper on Thursday, in which Jackson tiptoed around the subject, sources tell THR the singer has expressed interest in joining the show. 

"Oh my God," the 45-year-old said on-air with a laugh. "No, I'm not a judge on The X Factor." "You're not currently a judge on The X Factor," responded Cooper. 

"No, I am not," said Jackson. "But that's all I really think I should say." Any talks are currently in the preliminary stages, as Simon Cowell holds meetings this week with potential candidates to fill the shoes of ousted judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger and host Steve Jones. Another source tells THR that pop bad girl Pink is high on Cowell's wish list. The singer, whose real name is Alicia Moore, has credibility, Grammy awards and sass, plus "she can take on Simon." Cowell also has acknowledged an interest in "I Kissed a Girl" singer Katy Perry, telling Extra, "I worked with Katy once. I think she would be fun because she is hard - in a good way - and she's feisty." "She would be great," he continued. "In terms of experience, success … brilliant."
