As a runner up gift yardie aka mrworldpremiere.net managed to record and successfully stream The-Dream show in its entirety from last nights performance at The Fader Fort. Check it out. Now if we can just get this 50 Cent performance of Get Rich Or Die Trying album. I'm working on that now.

Last year, R&B unknownFrank Ocean, was fortunate enough to land a record deal with label giant Def Jam Recordings. It was actually through a mutual friend, Tricky Stewart, that Frank was able to be seen and heard. Unfortunately his relationship with the record label was compromised, when Frank took it upon himself to leak his upcoming solo debut Nostalgia,Ultra free to download via his Tumblr back in February. The sudden release of the album was almost too overwhelming to handle. His music was soothing and fresh. A real turn for the better for music in general. In the same week The Weeknd was also discovered and leaked his debut album House of Balloons via Drakes Blog, Octobersveryown.net. Music is in a state of rebuilding right now and Frank Ocean has contributed a great deal so far in such a short time.
Frank Ocean - Novacane
Since he evacuated from New Orleans right beforeKatrinahit in 2005, he has worked with some of music's biggest names. He was quick to make a name for himself with his dream-esque writing style. He has written numerous songs for artists such as Justin Bieber(Bigger) andBeyonce(I Miss You) and has most recently appeared on the worldwide album phenomenon known as Watch The Throne(No Church in the Wild, Made in America) just to name a few.
Frank Ocean - Swim Good
After bridges were burned with Def Jam he found himself fitting comfortably with LA's ownOdd Future.Although the Los Angeles based singer is a proud member of Odd Future, in a recent interview he says each member has separate lives outside of the crew. “That’s family” he explains, “It’s a crew, but it’s not like a boy band where we’re like this cohesive thing that moves and does everything together. We’re like a crew of a bunch of different artists who create their own thing and their own wave.” The best is yet to come for this young talent. Be sure to check outFrank Ocean & Odd Future on tour in the US starting September 28, 2011.
