Teenage heartthrob & Lincoln Heights actor Mishon released his seven-track EP “Dorm Room Music” today via iTunes and it already has the internet going crazy. It displays some of the most heart-felt, experience-motivated music the 19-year-old has ever produced and each melody displays those very emotions.

I have been fan of his music and television series for quite some time. I really couldn’t understand how his past singles ” Just A Kiss”, “Rock My Chain” and others didn’t have the impact needed to take him over this next level. Which is really weird. He already has 3,000 plus downloads today on this project so maybe this time he will get the proper support he deserves…..

Current Source mag cover star Wiz Khalifa revealed that he’s got an interesting collab he just completed during a recent conversation with MTV News. The Taylor Gang capo spoke with DJ Envy about a song he recorded with Action Bronson. With producer Harry Fraud on the track, the collab between these two very different emcees should certainly be something to look forward to. Wiz also hints that more tracks with the Queens lyricist may be in the works.

Wiz Khalifa and the Taylor gang are the latest faces to land on the cover of The Source magazine. For the front page of the May issue features Wiz, Chevy Woods and Lola Monroe on their hippy aura with Juicy J keeping it more modern with his threads.

(Only N**ga In First Class), the Taylor Gang mixtape, and his relationship with soon-to-be wife, Amber Rose.

“We’re like way better friends than we’ve ever been. We’re at the best point in our relationship….It does my business well when the home life is right.”

The issue also includes features on B.o.B., Diggy Simmons, ScHoolboy Q, and Angela Simmons among others. You can find the mag on newsstands on May 8th.

When Kanye West dropped “Way Too Cold” (previously titled “Theraflu”), he called out a few names. In addition to going at Kris Humphries, saying he’s “lucky I ain’t have Jay drop him from the team,” he also mentioned his ex’s new fiancee Wiz Khalifa.

On the song, Ye spits: “The whole industry wanna f*** yo old chick / Only n**** I got respect for is Wiz.”

That “old chick” is obviously a reference to Amber Rose, whom Wiz is currently engaged to; and Ye seems to be cool with it … because he’s now official with reality star Kim Kardashian.

Wiz Khalifa recently stopped by Funkmaster Flex’s Hot 97 radio show, and responded to the song shout out, admitting to being “very” surprised about it.

“I’ve gone a long time without anybody ever saying my name out loud like that,” the Pittsburgh rapper said. “It wasn’t a bad thing, it was just the fact that it was my name. It was wild, but it wasn’t nothing negative. Everybody got positive from it.”

As the interview continued, Wiz also revealed that he and his fiancée have yet to set a date for their wedding day … but said Rose is “making the plans.”

Wiz appeared on Hot 97 in support of his new single “Work Hard Play Hard,” the first off his upcoming LP, O.N.I.F.C., due out in August.

 Drake recently sat down for an interview with NME magazine and spoke on wanting to stay away from the David Guetta formula for making hits and how a number of artists feel it’s a necessary move to gain global success. Drizzy explains that he rather work with other producers such as Jamie XX for his club smashes.

“For me, the David Guetta stuff just doesn’t work. I don’t really wanna go there. There’s other artists, that’s their sound. They feel in order to thrive internationally that they gotta do straightforward, four to the floor, David Guetta, Pitbull music. For me, I’d rather go to somebody like Jamie XX and tell him, ‘Look, I really wanna turn the club upside down, but I wanna do it with integrity, with soul.”

Rozay recently released a new commercial for Reebok titled “It Takes A Lot To Make A Classic.” So I guess we’re gonna see a lot more people (saddlebackers) wearing Reebok Classics again. Personally they look like granpa kicks to me, but to each his own. The video is directed by Collin Tilley. You can also check out Ross’ interview with Reebok after the jump.
