A few weeks ago, Red Cafe dropped his Hells Kitchen mixtape, which featured a rather odd remake of King Louie’s “Too Cool,” which was repurposed as “Voo Doo.” It’s placement with no mention of Louie or the full remix included confused me greatly. I actually wrote about it here.

Well, Red Cafe called into DJ MoonDawg’s show on 107.5 WGCI to clear up the issue and let the people know it’s all love between him and King Louie. Cafe also goes on to talk about French Montana and how he was responsible for his deal at Bad Boy.

Two of Chicago’s hottest and most critically acclaimed artists pair up for the ferocious “Wrestlemania.” I knew it was only a matter of time before these two joined forces, and today they made it a reality. They might as well do an album together.

Louie, fresh from a trip LA (where he got this card), links with the young gunner Chief Keef, who contributes his patented ad-libs to the track. Perhaps there’s a bigger movement brewing between these two factions? We shall see–but for now, get in the ring.

For four nights, T-Mobile & Google Music hosted me as a guest at their T-Mobile Presents Google Music party at the pop-up TAO nightclub during the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. The event boasted tons of celebs that partied hard until 5am every morning, so yeah, there was a lot of fun to be had. But the real story here is the indie acts that performed early in the evening each night.

Google Music handpicked independent artists from across the country, representing various genres to showcase their brand of music to a packed house of attendees. Most of these artists will be the faces of Google Music, and will be partnering with this new service to further push their their product through Google’s monstrous platform.
