EVENT PICS: MARY J. BLIGE ATTENDS ‘PEACE, LOVE & A CURE’ EVENT

The IRS recently filed a federal tax lien against Mary J. Blige, but that doesn’t deter the Grammy Award-winning R&B songstress from continuing her philanthropic endeavors.

On May 21, the My Life II singer attended the 2013 Peace, Love & A Cure Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation Benefit, which is dedicated to raising public awareness and supporting research of triple negative breast cancer.

Check Mary out in a sapphire-colored dress, equipped with golden heels as she meets her fellow humanitarians.

Yasiin Bey – PSA: Stop-And-Frisk (Video)

If you don’t reside in New York, then you may not know about the NYPD’s controversial “stop-and-frisk” initiative that essentially gives the fuzz the right to pull an individual over and search their person with no logical reason outside of “probable cause.” Many folks have spoken against the measure, and today the mighty Mos Def delivers a video denouncing the whole thing.

MUSIC VIDEO: T.I. – “HELLO” (FEAT. CEE-LO)

The Kang of the South makes it a family affair when T.I. casts his entire gang to role play in the new visual for “Hello” featuring Cee-Lo.

“Just keep going, don’t look back/And look forward from where you’re at/There’s some jealousy in your rear-view/Wave hello, hello, hello.”

T.I.’s unique spin on a western is a story of one man’s unlikely journey, which he momentarily doesn’t understand. Of all the cameos featuring the clan of Family Hustle, we’ve got to say –– Major stole the show.

Take a look at the fresh new video for “Hello” up top.
