Denaun Porter (aka Mr. Porter aka Kon Artis), is a well-known record producer and a former member of the popular Detroit rap group D12. The 34-year-old hip-hop mogul is also considered one of Eminem's current hype-men. Details surrounding Slim Shady's highly-anticipated 2013 album still remain a mystery... but if fans want any sort of info, Mr. Porter's the guy to go to on Twitter. He's the dude that confirmed Eminem's eighth studio record wouldn't be released on July 2... instead, fans can likely expect fresh beats to hit airwaves this fall. But has all the hype surrounding Shady's new album inspired Mr. Porter to record his OWN solo album? Rumors surrounding Porter's alleged debut album "The Memo" have been swirling online since early 2012... but is the rapper (mostly known for his hit collaborations) ready to confirm an actual release date?

Check out an awesome, "Without Me"-inspired Maid of Honor toast below, performed by the amusingly talented Jennifer Gabrielli. Perhaps she'll be Eminem's new protege (a la Skylar Grey)? Read More »
Skylar Grey recently released the fourth single off of her upcoming album "Don't Look Down," currently scheduled for an official July 9 release date. "White Suburban" is a beautifully emotional track that demonstrates Grey's soulfully raw talent as a singer/songwriter. Twitter fans can't wait for the release of Grey's follow-up album to 2006's hit record "Like Blood Like Honey."

Sorry, Slim Shady fans, it doesn't look like Eminem's new 2013 album will drop on July 2 like initially suggested.

"Hart of Dixie" beauty Rachel Bilson recently admitted in an interview with British Cosmopolitan magazine that she'd love to bust-out a duet with Eminem... the 31-year-old starlet always secretly wanted to pursue a career in rapping! Hmm... perhaps a surprise collaboration's already secretly in the works? Read More »
