Ms. Cat was another one of the models featured in Drake’s “Best I Ever Had” video. Coincidently, she is the current Eye Candy of the Month in XXL. She’s 22 and she’s from Philadelphia. She’s been in all sorts of magazines like Smooth, Straight Stuntin’ and BlackMen’s. Peep the photos below…

Xtina Noel (”Christina”) is another model from Drake’s video “Best I Ever Had”. Not much to say except, she’s from New York and she’s fly. Look at these pictures and thank me later.
Age: 24 | Height: 5’3 | Weight: 117 | Chest: 34 | Waist: 25 | Hips: 36
Remember that girl from Drake’s video that ya’ll could’ve sworn was Rihanna. She was also the same one that took that epic-fail shot at the end of the video. Well, apparently, she’s not Rihanna (obviously) or even from Barbados to say the least. She’s Puerto Rican and her name is Sophia Marie, a 23-year-old model from Brooklyn, NY. Here’s a little quote we copped from her model profile at ModelMayhem as well as photos of her…

Well, its July 4th. What better way to start it off than to get some fresh new kicks. Shoe Gallery in Downtown Miami has definitely been doing it big as of late. Especially with the recent Nike Livestrong releases, which they’ve been going all out for (ie. the Air Max collection we posted a couple months back). And today’s release of the coveted Nike Livestrong x Mister Cartooon Air Force One, was no exception. Dozens of sneakerheads awaited in that Miami heat for a chance to get a pair of these to call their own. Not everyone did, but the people that did, walked away extremely happy. The display/installation that Shoe Gallery had was unique and eye-popping to say the least. Photos of the display, the sneaker and the release are below. Photos provided by Shoe Gallery.

We’re blessed to live in a country where you are your own individual and you are responsible for your own success. We have soldiers overseas in all parts of the world protecting those rights and those freedoms. And we have soldiers in Iraq trying to bring stability to the region. Well, local Miami based clothing company, Last Rights, sent us this photo of one of their customers who’s actually over in Iraq fighting. In the picture above that he took of himself, he’s representing the clothing and The305 like no other by throwing up the infamous “305″ and rocking Last Rights’ Dophins Mack 10 tee. So soon as we got this in our email box, we had to put it up. If you get anything from this, just remember that we gotta support our troops. Happy 4th to everyone and stay safe throughout the weekend!
Model: Kim Kardashian
I’ve been a couple days late on the News & LInks for this week, so we’ll make this the Friday edition for this week only. My highlight of the week has definitely got to be Drake’s video for “Best I Ever Had”. I mean personally, I think the video sucks, but the eye candy in it more than makes up for it. Otherwise, besides the whole MJ situation, its still been crazy week.
»Christina Milian interviewed by 24HHH - Christina Milian is all over the place nowadays. 24 catches up with her. [24hourhiphop]
»Air Penny II new colorway - Nike decides to release these incredibly clean versions of the Air Penny II. That’s the good news. The bad news is that they will be a Quick Strike release, meaning they will be super limited in every way imaginable. Check out the pictures over at SneakerNews. [SneakerNews]
»LikeMike Clothing over at SneakerPimps NY + Mike Jackson connection - LikeMike Clothing got the chance to hit up New York for the Sneakerpimps tour that stopped by last week. They have a little picture recap and a very special story in regards to the passing of Michael Jackson. [LikeMike]
»Prestige (Download) - Local Miami artist, Prestige, released his mixtape Lost & Found a couple months back, check it out. [Zshare]
»BET criticizes and Drake apologizes - After having underaged girls dance on stage at the BET Awards during songs like “Every Girl” and such, there’s been quite a backlash. BET had some words and so did Drake. [Thisis50]
»Dungeon Family reunites in ATL - Dungeon Family get together for a nice photoshoot in ATL for Vibe Magazine. Maurice was there to cover it all. I found it a little strange that Andre3000 didn’t speak on camera though. [MauriceGarland]
»Amber Rose discussion heats up on The305 - Wow, I haven’t checked this old post we did on Amber in a long time. And recently I checked out and noticed the EXTREMELY heated discussion that’s been going on about this girl and her relationship with Kanye, her race and etc. Wow. Read the comments. [The305]
»Quincy speaks pretty openly about MJ - Quincy gets pretty loose about MIke. Wow. [MissXpose]
»9 Signs that you’re about to be fired…lol - If you’ve ever been apart of the corporate world, you can definitely relate to this. Lol. [AskMen]
Just got this in the PO Box today while on route to the office. I got this nice little package put together by the lovely people over at the Miami New Times. It was a congratulatory letter for The305.com winning the Best Of Miami 2009 award for “Best Local Website”, as well as an official certificate and a sticker to place outside my place of business. Definitely a great follow-up to the issue. Thanks New Times!!!
Info on The305.com BBQ/Celebration party coming soon…
I got a print of this piece from a friend of mine. I couldn’t confirm, but I believe Romero Britto did this on the day of or within the few days after Michael Jackson’s death last week. If you know Britto’s work, then you know this is his trademark stuff. If I see that he’s selling any prints/reproductions of this anywhere, to the public, I will definitely keep you updated.

A while back, we posted the single that Kane had with Ray-J, well here’s a full-fledged mixtape he just put out entitled 24/7 Hustle Volume 2, and its hosted by DJ Epps. Download it below…
Also check both Kane and DJ Epps out on Saturday July 4th at CASANOVA LOUNGE, over at 524 OCEAN DRIVE for the official party celebrating the release of this mixtape…
So as you may have heard by now, VIBE magazine has shut down its print and online operations. RapRadar did alot of the breaking of this story. You know, I expected this to happen, but not so soon. I thought they had atleast another year or two left. Unfortunately they didn’t. The entire staff was huddled up for an afternoon meeting and they were all given the bad news. Fortunately, atleast the last issue with The Dream and Christina Milian on the cover, will still come out and will be th final VIBE to hit the newsstands. Oh yeah and this T.I. cover pictured on the right, is actually a cover that was shot down here in Miami Beach at The Shore Club hotel.
Well, shortly after the announcement, Quincy Jones had a thing or two to say about the downfall of the magazine he started and founded back in 1993. He said he’s in talks to buyback the magazine and make it exclusively online and in the midst of telling Reuters this, he took a couple shots at a couple newspapers, including the Herald. Here’s what he said:
“Print and all that stuff is over, we gotta remember that. The Chicago Tribune, the Seattle Post Intelligencer, the Miami Herald. They’re over the same way as the record business. We have got to get into this century”
Wow, not a good look. Spotted that over at the New Times. Oh yeah and the last point I wanted to make. Like seriously, Quincy’s daughter, Rashida Jones (of The Office fame) is hot. Like really hot. Yeah…that’s all I got. Click here for the results Google Images gathers up. Chuuuurch!
Check out Bobby Valentino tonight at SOBE Live. 1204 Washington Ave, South Beach. See the flyer after the jump…

Ricky finally jumps on the “Best I Ever Had” bandwagon. So many remixes have been made to this song - but I personally think Ross came correct on this. Papa Smirf sent this over this morning and Khaled played it 99 Jamz a couple hours ago in the beginning of his Shutdown mix. Listen and download below…

Yo, I am definitely a fan of 36DD’s and such, but I really hope this is a joke and this is like a teaser video of some sort for the real video that’s soon to come. The way this video was being hyped. Since Kanye was directing it, I was expecting some over-the-top metaphor or some different shooting technique that would blow my mind away. Instead, we get big boobs x basketball - which is not a bad thing at all. But you know, I expected more.
However, Kanye did use that “slow-motion” feature in all the right places…can’t hate on that.
We posted a photo of Jessica Skyy last week in our Wednesday News caption. And we got a couple emails asking who this model was. Well here’s part one of many posts to come featuring Jessica Skyy. Thank me later.
Ft. Laudy’s DJ Kreep releases his new mixtape, Yacht Music. Download it below…
We the Best! Shout outs to DreFilms
So every so often we’ll bless you with a couple tracks spotted from around the blog world. And this time around we bring you songs from your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper, Mase. Yeah, Mason Betha. He decided to ressurect 1997 [again] and jump on Drake’s “Best I Ever Had”. Plus you got random collabo’s with the Cons off his new album, Fab and Alchemist and more. Click below…
Mase & Drake “Best I Ever Had” - A seemingly weak attempt of a “comeback” track for Mase. Mase used to seriously be favorite rapper back in 97……lol. And my excuse for that was that at that point, I was seemingly new to hip hop so you can’t blame me. [Zshare]
Alchemist featuring Fabolous “Gangsta Sh*t” - Fab is definitely going in for his new album, Loso’s Way. He’s got a couple single spinning across the nation right now and now he teams up with one of the dopest producers in the game, Alchemist, for this slow-tempo banger. Its Loso, so you already know so… [Zshare]
Consequence, Ye & Legend ”Whatever You Want” - This song features Kanye & John Legend. The hook is a bit annoying, but atleast Kanye is rapping again. Off of Consequence’s new album on GOOD Music. Grammy family, son. [Zshare]
Mya & Bun B ”Show Me Something” - Posting for the sake of missing me some Mya in my life. She was like whoa back in the day. [Zshare]
The Game “Better On The Other Side (MJ Tribute)” featuring Chris Brown, Diddy, Mario Winans, Usher & Boyz II Men - They popped this one out mad quick. All in respect to one of the greatest to ever do it. Michael Jackson. Rest In Peace. [Zshare]
DJ Premier’s tribute mix to Michael Jackson - Primo gets it in. Refreshing. Taken from his Sirius radio show “Live From HeadQCourterz”. [Zshare]

First video off the 36 Reasons mixtape by Billy Blue. The video has a very gloomy and suspenseful kind of feel. And it was actually recorded on the block of where our office building is located. I’ve done many-a-photoshoots on that block, including this Fat Joe one. But yeah, download the Billy Blue 36 Reasons mixtape by clicking here.
I definitely fux with this. Shouts out to Mike Beatz and the rest of the Monsters Ink fam…

I’m currently on a Perez Hilton boycott, but I had to forcefully get on to his site to look at this picture of the amazingly curvacious Tocarra Jones. I think by now, you all should definitely have caught on what I look for in a woman. What do Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry, Esther Baxter and Toccara Jones all have in common? Lol…either way, this is a picture of her last Sunday at the BET Awards. Looking graceful. Disregard the handwriting that one of Perez Hilton’s ghostwriters put atop the picture.
This is getting ridiculous now. Lol. Spliff must be working that Adobe Premier on overtime because these cats keep poppin’ these videos out. This one is for “Pushing Keys”.

Even though this mixtape came out Memorial Day Weekend, I was only able to get it in my hands like two days ago while doing a photoshoot with Destiny of yes, the THC Crew. The mixtape is definitely dope and definitely worth a listen. If you have $2.99 to spare, to support your fellow 305′ers…cop the mixtape by clicking here..

Beyonce was spotted frolicking around Miami Beach earlier today while down here recovering from her I AM tour stop at the BankAtlantic Center (which I heard she tore up).
