The Dream lands dream job as Exec VP of Island Records

The Dream lands dream job as Exec VP of Island Records

Christina Milian’s career has just been further insured. Her man Terius Nash AKA The Dream has just landed the Executive Vice President job of Island Records and will be starting in his new position soon. Love him or hate him, you can’t hate the fact that the 27 year old has been dominating the charts and will now take up one of the most powerful positions in the music industry.

To set the record straight, The Dream will not be replacing current Def Jam EVP Chris Hicks. The Dream states in his Twitter:

I did not replace him At DEF JAM he’s the EVP of DEF JAM RECORDS and I AM EVP of ISLAND RECORDS…. To all being negative is out of style!

It will be interesting to see what The Dream can do for the label. Island has Mariah Carey but after that the urban music artist roster runs pretty thin. We are talking 3LW’s Adrienne Bailon as the next biggest thing after Mariah but of course it’s only a matter of time before Christina Milian suddenly signs a multi-million dollar deal.

Raekwon x Asics. It’s pretty hard to turn down free shoes…even Asics. Raekwon pushes the sneaker line in this promo piece which is tied to Asics’ stunt/promotion of creating the world’s largets Lite Brite. What does that have to do with shoes? Nothing. But it’s cool. Via: ProHipHop

VIDEO: Queen Latifah’s “Fast Car” video is a Ford Mustang ad

VIDEO: Queen Latifah’s “Fast Car” video is a Ford Mustang ad

Queen Latifah x Ford Mustang. The Queen has paid her dues in our book to want some of that auto-industry money (although that money is a lot less than it used to be). As part of her partnership with Ford, not only is she pushing the new Ford Mustang on TV ads (shown here), but she is also heavily promoting the Mustang in her music video for the song “Fast Car.”

ET was actually on the set with the Queen where guests such as Common and Cool & Dre and Robin Thicke were also in the racing action. Check the piece and you can clearly see the Ford Mustang branding angle that this video will have. It’s Mustang vs. Mustang on the race track.
