Machine Gun Kelly‘s track featuring Ester Dean, which has been heard in HTC mobile’s Rezound campaign for the first mobile phone that features Beats Audio, has been dubbed “Invincible” and is available for download. MTV’s 2011 Hottest Breakthrough MC Machine Gun Kelly will be releasing the Lace Up EP in March 2012. Maybe this track will find a home.

Common visited Sway & Dev this morning and basically called out Drake. Justin and I were at Cali Christmas on Friday, which Common and Drake both performed at, Drake said something like, “If you got something to say, say it to my face. Just because I sing R&B music, don’t mean I’m a bitch!” We were wondering what the fuck he was talking about…… We both know now. If you know me, you know Comm has always been my favorite MC, I’m just gonna stay out of this.

Skee TV takes us behind-the-scenes on the haunted video set of Game‘s “Martins Vs Goblins,” directed by Matt Alonso. Watch the Game sport some creepy contacts and Tyler caressing cats. Let’s hope the final product is just as crazy. I’ve driven by that old correctional facility in Whittier plenty of times and it always gives me the chills.
