Jordy has started 2011 well with a 3rd place behind Kelly Slater and Taj Burrow in the opening event of the tour on the Gold Coast, Aus. With his 2010 rating being number one, and finishing up 2nd in the Championship last year including a win in the event at jeffrey's bay we expect to see Jordy fighting for the title this year. Winner of the Billabong Junior World Championships in 2006 we can see that he has the potential to be at the top! With three years behind him his status on the tour continues to increase.
Good luck for the season bro!

Summer Sessions...

With Summer parties, beach times, beers and loads of surfing to be done just round the corner artists are hard at work in the studios trying to get their single or album to be the big hit of the summer! Following in the footsteps of the massive hits to come from Akon and David Guetta last summer Chris Brown has teamed up with the massive Benny Bennasi to create what predicts to be a huge summer anthem!
Expect big things from this pair this summmer especially with this song!
We are loving the video, alot of big name appearences!! have a watch of "Beautiful People".

Making it to the top...

Big Sean in his new videos shows the world how far he's come in his new video "My Last" featuring Chris Brown showing his shortly lived blonde hair. The video is shot with a backdrop looking down over LA to show that big sean has made it to the top! Great song with chris brown getting back on the singing vocals in the chorus!
Awesome Collaboration between the two!

Roll Up

Wiz Khalifa's new song shoes his softer side towards the girls apposed to black & yellow. Roll Up is looking to be another hit as big as black & yellow, if you haven't heard it here it is, if you have then listen again!

HotnewHiphop

Things that are worth checking out on HotNewHiphop this week...

The new Red Cafe Album "Above The Clouds". Such a good combination of his old style with new, with songs with more original artists such as Talib Kweli, and songs like Slumdog Billionaire with the new generations artist Kid Ink.

Yung berg's Mr Ward is another of Berg's albums full of autotune, killer verses, the perfect collab of hiphop & r'n'b. As always it has a large number of Featuring artists!

Finally Check out this video for Travis porters new song "Down Low" featuring Tyga.

Taj has started 2011 well with a 2nd place behind Kelly Slater in the opening event of the tour on the Gold Coast, Aus. Runner up in 2007, he joined the tour in 1998 and has been one of few surfers to maintain their reputation over the years.

Last Kings.

Tyga Discusses with Tim Westwood his new clothing line Last Kings and how people see his image as similar to that of Wiz Khalifa.

R.I.P Sion Milosky

Sion Milosky, 35, of Kalaheo, Kauai, Hawaii, has died after enduring a two-wave hold down around 6:30 p.m of waves 40ft upwards at Mavericks.
He is only the second surfer to ever die at Mavericks, the other was Mark Foo in 1994.
About a dozen surfers, including several from Santa Cruz, gathered Wednesday to surf the break, which can produce wave faces as big as 80 feet.
He was awarded north shores underground surfer award last year and was known for having taken the biggest wave ever paddled in for.
He leaves behind a wife and two young daughters and will be greatly missed in the big wave surfing community.
Thoughts to the family!
