Before everyone starts to ask for the proverbial “Encore”, Mr. Carter, the one from Brooklyn who is enjoying the arrival of a new child with his super duper megastar wife with the maiden name Knowles, had something special in store for his daughter. More special than the privileged and charmed life awaiting her—he had a song.

Rarely the one to be shy, Jay-Z has let us know how proud he is to be a father and in the process is introducing the world to Blue Ivy Carter. Imagine being less than a week and having people getting ready to provide you with royalty checks.

Well, take your time and a listen to the proud poppa talking about his happiness.

Santos Party House will be the place to be, this time for a taste if music with a side of spoken word. Tonight, beginning at 7pm, R&B Live rolls into the favorite venue of many at 96 Lafayette Street for performances that you won’t want to miss.

The best thing is that this showcase is a holiday treat for you with the help of a simple RSVP to rblive@theamericanhype.com—no cover with confirmation of your RSVP. Come on out and see some future stars. If you wait too long you’ll have to pay Ticketmaster $75 to see them…

Over the summer, New York City was invaded by aliens… or is it that the aliens were already here and they just showed themselves more… or was it simply déjà vu?

Either way, the filming that essentially everyone in NYC encountered in the Summer of ‘11 will be manifested on the silver screen into the third chapter of a very successful movie franchise. We submit, for your enjoyment: the official trailer to Men in Black 3.

Technology & creativity? Entirely too much time on one’s hands? Either way, a multi-performed hit from Watch the Throne has emoted various responses from their listeners and this response may simply take the cake.

Aziz Ansari, known to many as Tom Haverford on Parks and Recreation, and Matthew Shawver visually remixed N*ggaz in Paris (a song that is performed up to nine times in a row on tour) and this version is poised to go viral, immediately. Feel free to read along while listening to the song. We know you have the album.

Also, please feel free to disregard the Russian flag in the display. It’s a remix, ok?

We’re all aware that Santos Party House is a place known for its music and not much else. Nowadays, its carving its own niche as the place to be if you’re looking to truly party. With that being said, that doesn’t mean that they’re going commercial—they are making sure they keep the GOOD Music in place.

And now, on Wednesday nights, Santos plays host to GOOD Music Wednesdays, an apropos name for a Wednesday night filled with good music (they like to be clear at Santos).

Don’t you dare ask the genre of music, the answer is simply GOOD. That’s what the mix of people you are sure to run into are looking for when converging from SoHo, TriBeCa, Chinatown and all points N.E.W.S. (north, east, west, south). So here’s your chance to experience 2 levels in which to rock and a slew of DJs headlined by DJ Clark Kent. Hipsters, ravers, movers & shakers UNITE! This is poised to be the start of something big…

…of course you’re looking for the deal, here it is: FREE on our guest list before 1am. Simpler enough.

The song Blue in Green by Miles Davis has a lot of staying power, but there’s another Blue in Green that is making it’s mark in an industry other than music. This Blue in Green is in fashion.

This high-end men’s boutique has made a name for itself namely in Japanese raw denim and although they carry sophisticated and fashionable wear from head to toe, it is this for which the folks at Blue in Green are most famous. So famous that they are launching their own denim line that will be celebrated at their 5 Year Anniversary Party and Charity Event on Friday, December 9, 2011.

So, if you have an interest in raw denim or appearances by Q-Tip, Roy Ayers, Lord Finesse and Black Thought of The Roots and will be in New York City on Friday night, feel free to contact us at blueingreen@theamericanhype.com and we will let you know what to do to get on the not easy accessible guest list. You should probably act quickly…

Post event coverage will be found in numerous outlets as well and we’ll keep you updated.

Words from an artist like the ones that follow describe ambition and drive. They also explain how someone gets things done By Any Means Necessary.

“I made this for every true outsider looking in. In today’s world, we’re forced to believe to claim different is to be cool. Attention seekers get praised for their gimmicks and originators aren’t paid homage. But in the end real people will win. True hearts beat first.” – Rugz D. Bewler

Rugz’s new album recently dropped and if you don’t already know who he is, where have you been, let’s jog your memory a bit:

Short handedly known throughout social media as #BAMN, By Any Means Necessary was created to restore dignity and pride to a city known as New York. But don’t take our word for it. Take a listen instead.

When people in the music industry hear Ace‘s music, they begin to get excited. They start wanting to hear more and look for ways to join in his success. This is proven by a hot beat by DJ Al Rocc One which, with lyrics added by Mr. MarCano, makes Shnap Bacc ’91 a white-hot song.

Feel the vibe, folks.
