NEWS: Rihanna Gets Nude For Nude

Rihanna isn’t known for covering up, so it’s no surprise that she dared to bare it all in new behind-the-scenes photos from a shoot for her upcoming fragrance, which is appropriately titled Nude.

The singer’s pal Melissa Forde posted the sexy pics on Instagram with the caption, “#Nude Behind the scenes for new fragrance photo shoot.” In the photos, Rihanna poses topless, donning a blond wig for several seductive photos.

Nude will be Rihanna’s third fragrance. She released Reb’l Fleur in spring 2011 and Rebelle in December.

VIDEO: Pete Rock’s Vinyl Collection – Crate Diggers

“With Pete Rock‘s name in the news recently due to the Lupe Fiasco/”T.R.O.Y.” remake mess, this comes as a much needed reset: the latest episode of Fuse’s “Crate Diggers” web series, in which Soul Brother #1 shares thoughts on some of his favorite albums from his 50,000 + piece record collection. And yes, Tom Scott & the California Dreamers’ Honeysuckle Breeze (a/k/a the “T.R.O.Y.” sample source) is amongst ‘em.”

VIDEO: A-TRAK’S Hip-Hop DJ Set Live At Boiler Room

“Before A-Trak was killing the dance music scene, he was an esteemed hip-hop DJ. To show folks where he came from, he stopped by Boiler Room in London to throw down a fabulous set of hip-hop music. Playing everything from Wu-Tang Clan and A$AP Rocky to Waka Flocka Flame and Beastie Boys, A-Trak scratches his way through rap music history effortlessly. This is a reason why this Fool’s Gold producer/DJ is so highly acclaimed. Take notes, kids.”

NEWS: Can Eric Prydz, Former Swedish House Mafia Member, Become a U.S. Star?

“When the name “Swedish House Mafia” was still just a joke between musical buddies in Stockholm — long before its label deal with EMI, the global sponsorship with Absolut Vodka or blowout headlining gigs at New York’s Madison Square Garden and the Coachella festival — the now-famous trio had a fourth member in tow. To many, Eric Prydz was considered the main progenitor of the group’s arena-sized sound and the key link among Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell. If these three are the Mafia, then Prydz is the Godfather.

However, the 35-year-old DJ/producer behind the group’s early but complex instrumental tracks that make electronic dance music nerds woozy wasn’t cut out for supergroup stardom. He considers himself a studio “control freak” who can’t abide collaboration, even with close friends, and he also has a crippling fear of flying, which doesn’t exactly bode well for the jet-setting DJ lifestyle. Once the buddies latched onto the Swedish House Mafia name as an actual collective brand instead of simply an inside joke, Prydz bailed and went solo. (more…)
