NEW MUSIC: ALLEN STONE – CONTACT HIGH

Our second feature on burgeoning soul talent Allen Stone, we bring you the singer/songwriters song “Contact High.” A release from his forthcoming self-titled album, which is due out next Tuesday, October 4th on iTunes. The MBK Entertainment crooner lays his silky vocals over the Andy Rose production. Speaking on the song Allen said,

I feel like there are a lot of people like me who just want pure music and music that comes from people’s hearts and they know they’re going through. For example, I sing this song called “Contact High” about getting caught up in all of these digital conversations and not having that eye to eye face to face conversation. I’m really going through this and hopefully you can see that in my eyes when I sing the song because it’s real.” (YKIGS)

TYRESE KICKED OUT OF RADIO STATION FOR TALKING ABOUT LIQUOR STORES

According to TMZ … Tyrese claims he was WRONGLY kicked out of a radio station in Delaware yesterday — and it’s all because he TOOK A STAND against liquor stores that operate near elementary schools.

It all happened at WJKS KISS 101.7 in Delaware — when Tyrese, who was invited on the show to promote his album, made a PASSIONATE statement about how liquor stores SHOULD NOT be allowed near schools … after seeing one on his way to the station.

During his rant, Tyrese told the DJ, “Get them cats out of here … selling alcohol right across from your kids school, homie — put the pressure on them homie … you know how to put pressure on dudes selling in your hood.”

But when the show went to commercial, Tyrese was asked to leave the building — and the owner of the radio station confirms to TMZ that it was because he felt Tyrese was “disrespecting” the Delaware community.

After the incident, Tyrese tweeted, “I just kicked out of a radio station frm a [program director] who had a problem w/ me speaking on liquor stores that are by elementary schools in Delaware.”

He later added, “If you don’t STAND for something.. You will damn near fall for Anything.”
