You may recognize her as the one on all of the blogs buzz about but pop-mc and songwriter, HAZEL-E, is quickly being seen as one of the most promising rising stars in Pop/Urban music. HAZEL-E has managed to capture the magnitude of an icon in the essence of her music and yet she maintains her own sound and style.

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio but a true life “military brat,” HAZEL-E grew up heavily influenced by pop icons like TLC, Salt-n-Pepa, Madonna, Boy George and the artist formally known as “Prince.”  Each artist, each song, each lyric flamed Hazel-E’s passion for great music and led her to a career path that would quickly put her in front of the mic.  After graduating from Southwest Texas State University, HAZEL-E moved to Hollywood, CA where she pursued an acting career. Soon after, a door to the entertainment industry was opened when HAZEL-E took on the opportunity to work in entertainment publicity. Through her professional experience, she worked with an array of star-studded talent including Tank, Trey Songz, Melody Thorton, Ne-Yo, Ce Lo Green and Soulja Boy. Strategically learning the ins and outs of the entertainment business, HAZEL-E gained the confidence to work the other side of the camera. “I love music,” she says, “I like entertaining, and I love hip hop and all that it encompasses…plus I think I got flow.” Her inner rock-star was born and HAZEL-E officially began her music career in 2008.

Hazel-E vastly became a household name and in 2010, along with actress Megan Good and Sister Lamyia Good, spear-headed the “Valley Girl Movement” by shooting the video for “Valley Girl.” Valley Girl had the internet going nuts and was the talk of every blogger and publication online. At the top of 2011, HAZEL-E followed “Shoe Fetish” with a 2nd mixtape release, “Diary of a Valley Girl,” hosted by Bad Girls Club, Natalie Nunn and compiled by DJ Infamous. Hollywood’s nobles, like LaLa Vasquez,  Affion Crockett, Chamillionaire and NFLer Chris Johnson showed their support and were featured on the album. A continual momentum-builder, the 2011 release of the “Diary of a Valley Girl” mixtape, was a second success for HAZEL-E and caught the ear of music execs in Houston, Texas; which brought her back to her hometown to record her latest EP titled “Girl Code.”

With the streets buzzing and great projects on the horizon, HAZEL-E’s future in entertainment is strong and steady on the rise. Recently, the pop-diva was featured in the New York Post: Page Six for her star studded birthday bash, “Lifestyle Of A Valley Girl Vol. IV” at Dolce in Miami Beach, Fla. “I want to be #1 on all pop charts, I want a Grammy, Billboard, AMA, MTV and a BET award. I want to be multi-platinum, I want to be a major staple in pop culture!” says the song bird-lyricist of her ambitions.

HI-RIZ - Up Next Twitter @hirizworldwide

• Attention, Attention, The Honorable Marvin L. McIntyre, Ambassador of Artist Development and founder of the world renowned Marvelous Enterprises/Artist Development Center located in Atlanta, Georgia has spun his magic wand once again in forming what could soon become the new toast of the music industry, “Hi-RiZ”. Consisting of group members Monique Ivana Colson a/k/a “Ivana” (The Philippines) Victorya Langford a/k/a “Hip-Hop” (Birmingham, AL), Jessica Brittany Mayes a/k/a “Jessica” (Chicago, IL), Lakilah Y. Thomas a/k/a “Bobi” (Atlanta, GA), form one of the most talented and uniquely original groups to hit the industry in over two decades. 

• Discovered by Marvelous Marvin the Legendary Entertainment Impresario who has work with and consulted the careers of countless multi-platinum superstars such but not limited to Kandi Burruss (Real Housewives of Atlanta), Reginae Carter (Toya Show), Lil’ Jon (Celebrity Apprentice) and the Eastside Boyz, Sean “P-Diddy” Combs, Cody Simpson, Heads Of State, New Edition, Pink, Monica, TLC, Ciara, Keri Hilson, is the visionary behind this super explosive group. 

• Daring to be different “Hi-RiZ” is made up of four extremely gifted artists who all have previous experience as either a solo artist or lead of a group which only adds to their already off the charts list of fire power attributes. Blending Pop, Rock, Hip-Hop, and Soul music like never before along with an unmatched stage show are the chief selling points for the new “it” girl group of Generation Next. In “Hip-Hop”, you have a one of kind MC and dancer with classic storytelling rhymes, while “Jessica” is the ultimate girly-girl with perfect style and an angelic singing voice. Then there’s “Bobi” whose love for modeling and designing fashion shines through in her vivid singing of the finer things in life, and last but certainly not least is “Ivana” whose love for Ballads and Timeless music adds the perfect dose of soul to the talented foursome. Although merged into a super group by their discoverer and mentor, “Hi-RiZ” dispels any notion that a group “put together” can’t be as successful as those that have been together for years by possessing a level of maturity, teamwork, and unselfishness seldom found in groups that have been together three times as long.

• Inspired by music stalwarts Beyonce, Janet Jackson, Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keyes, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, and Mariah Carey represents the level of success sought by “Hi-RiZ”. With half of the group being 16 years old and the other two 17 year-old high school seniors “Hi-RiZ” is able to connect with teens their age, girls much younger and even grown women using song concepts relatable to females of all ages. Blessed to all be honor students is what makes “Hi-RiZ” the ideal role models for young girls worldwide who are in search of positive guidance. With the release of their much heralded first single “Stix and Stones” written by writing sensation Phylicia “PenGame” Goings and Produce By Gawain “G2” Bracy II tearing up the streets, clubs, and internet, it won’t be long before “Hip-Hop”, “Jessica”, “Bobi”, and “Ivana” move up “High” on the charts and “Ri(Z)se” straight to the top of the Entertainment Industry.

Five Possible Plots of Kanye West’s New Short Film

:: Earlier this week, news broke that Kanye was behind schedule for his upcoming Cannes Film Festival submission. The details of the film are still unclear, but the 30-minute short is set to debut next month in France if Kanye, who is producing, writing, scoring and directing, can get it done in time. Using the few details we do know—Kid Cudi is involved, and it's being shot in the Middle East nation state of Qatar

:: Continuing on the silent treatment he gave the 106 & Park crowd when he appeared alongside 2 Chainz last week, the musical genius releases a film that features no sound at all. The plot is difficult to follow at times, but subtitles in ALL CAPS fill in the gaps for viewers at crucial moments.

:: Watching MTV 2 one night, Kanye randomly comes across the music video of Twista’s “Celebrity Overnight.” With recent talks about Twista possibly joining the G.O.O.D Music imprint, ‘Ye feels a sense of guilt for not remembering Miri Ben-Ari’s whereabouts. In an effort to find her, Ye’ reconciles with Consequence, and the Queens-bred MC quickly accepts his apology—as he has nothing else to do. They go on a quest in the Middle East to look for hip-hop's favorite violinist.

:: Written, narrated, edited and directed by Kanye himself, this autobiographical documentary tells the rap icon's full story as only he can. In order to dig deep, Kanye sits in front of a mirror and asks his reflection questions about himself.

:: The Devil Wears Nada

After fleeing the States because of an undisclosed controversy, Kanye plays an intern who finds himself overseas at a fictional fashion line. He works for an evil boss (played by Dame Dash), who’s bitter about a past partnership gone wrong, and parades around the office yelling about his employees "don't know shit about the [fashion] culture" and never reusing a pair of socks he wore once. His fellow interns include Taz Arnold and Curt@in$, whose morales are boosted by Kanye’s random compliments about their fashion senses, but soon forgotten as ‘Ye moves onto the next one.

:: As a child, Kanye spent a year in China while his mom took a teaching job. In this underdog journey, a young Kanye rises to the heights of China's underground Karaoke scene by wowing his peers with flawless renditions of America's hottest hip-hop songs. But accusations of cheating arises as it’s discovered auto-tune was involved in Kanye's vocal makeover.
