The last time we heard from Teyana Taylor – aside from her racy, leaked photos – was on her summer smash, “Her Room”, a cover of Drake’s “Marvin’ Room.” Now, she’s back with The Misunderstanding of Teyana Taylor, a mixtape that gives us more to work with as she tries to find her space in the music scene. Heavily inspired by Lauryn Hill, Taylor plans to make a statement this time around. The 21-year-old Harlem native was released from Star Track/Interscope Records earlier this year, and has since been working on new music. Appearances on the mixtape include Wyclef, Wale, Fabolous, Jadakiss, nd Southern sensation, Travis Porter. Heavy production from Hit-Boy, Tone P, and more underscore the project. Listen in and tell us – has Teyana found her lane? Download the mixtape here, and see the full tracklist below:
Grammy winner John Legend recently released a new song and video entitled “Woke Up This Morning”, created for the civil rights documentary, “Soundtrack For A Revolution”. Executive produced by Danny Glover, the film takes a look at how music shaped the American Civil Rights Movement, evolving from slave chants to the Black church and into inspirational freedom songs.

Also included is historic archival footage of singer/activist Harry Belafonte, political activist Julian Bond, and U.S. Ambassador/former politician Andrew Young. In 2009, “Soundtrack For A Revolution” made its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. For more information, visit the official website here.

(AllHipHop News) Wyclef Jean and Jerry “Wonda” Duplessis have released a documentary chronicling their experiences as co-founders of the nonprofit organization Yele Haiti. The pair shot “Hours After The Quake: Picking Up The Dead in Search of The Living,” using a handheld camera. The two founders showcase the plight of the Haitian people in the aftermath of the tragic 7.0 earthquake that devastated Haiti on January 12, 2010. The documentary sheds light on the ongoing fight to recover from one of the most devastating earthquakes in the history of mankind. Over 3.5 million people were directly impacted by the natural disaster that killed more than 316,000, injured 300,000, orphaned 1 million children and left another 1.2 million people homeless. Throughout the documentary, Wyclef calls for a “State of Emergency” and can be seen coming to the aid of dying Haitian residents, as he rides through the streets amidst crumbled buildings and roads. The documentary shows that Yele Haiti provided 4.3 million gallons of water to Haiti 5 days a week throughout 2010, distributed 98,000 hot meals, 270,000 nutritional bars, and canned goods serving over 200,000 people. Periods of the movie are graphic in nature, showing dead bodies being removed from the destructed streets during the early periods of the earthquake’s aftermath, . Despite accusations from the New York Post, that Wyclef’s Yele Haiti organization was improperly using donations received, Wyclef shows that he was in full support of Haiti throughout the crisis, and that he too, was also removing bodies from the street, which were buried in rubble.
