Los Angeles' Staples Center is where the 54th Grammy Awards will go down this Sunday. The CBS telecast kicks off at 8 p.m. EST, and the thought on everyone's mind is likely this: just how many statues is Britain's not-so-secret weapon Adele going to jet back to London with? Plus, will Grammy give the gift of a posthumous award to the late Amy Winehouse, who's up for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance (with Tony Bennett)? Will this be the year Skrillex becomes a household name ? Also, will Chris Brown and Rihanna bump into each [...]
Justin Bieber is working on his next album and it looks like he might be getting some help from rap superstar Drake . Rumors have been around for a while that the fellow Canadians would be working together, but now there's the photo to prove it! Justin teased his millions of beliebers on Wednesday by tweeting : "You really wanna know who im going into the studio with tonight??#bigbro #CANADA" A bit cryptic, but obvious none the less. [...]

Kelly Rowland's summer jam "Motivation" is up for a Best Rap/Sung Collaboration Grammy , and the sultry singer hit up Chelsea Lately last night to talk, among other things, about how she came to work with Lil Wayne on the track.

You guys know the Foo Fighters' single, "Rope," was remixed by Deadmau5, right? Well it looks like we're going to see that remix done live at the Grammy awards this year.

So far 2012 has started out as probably the most Vacayrific year to date. Since moving out to San Francisco I've met a lot of awesome people and tapped into an extremely interesting and growing music scene. There's something about the bay area that is very unique and refreshing and I have fallen in love. Let's hope the rest of 2012 continues on its current path to Vacay glory. I have no doubt it will. -Whiteface Nicky Romero is set to probably have one of the best years of his life. [...]
![Jimbo Jenkins – Dirty South Breakz [Free Download]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4044529_lg.jpg)
East of LA's Jimbo Jenkins continues to stay on his DJ mix grind into the new year, with his new project "Dirty South Breaks". On this mix, Jimbo fuses some of the most known Southern a cappella's with Hip-Hop breakbeats. Our fondness for trill/trap Southern music here at East of LA is apparent, so with this project, it was Jimbo's goal to present this music in a way a hip-hop fan, who might be weary of the Southern trap style, would even enjoy. Where as you could easily imagine someone like KRS-One or Rakim rocking on [...]

The producers of the Grammys have never been afraid to give the world fascinating, embarrassing pileups, and this year's ceremony could be a doozy. As the Associated Press reports , this Sunday's ceremony will include a vageuly ravey segment in a tent space outside the Staples Center, with 1000 fans. That's where the Foo Fighters and Deadmau5 will team up to perform a live version of Deadmau52s remix of the Foos song "Rope." And it's also where David Guetta will perform with Chris Brown and Lil Wayne. Hopefully, everyone will wear clothes entirely made out of glowsticks. [...]
Dance music didn't have its own category at The Grammys until 2003, and now the little genre that could appears to have been fully embraced by the Recording Academy. The 2012 Grammy Awards will include "a special segment spotlighting dance/electornica music for the first time ever." The lineup for this special performance? Deadmau5, David Guetta, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and the Foo Fighters. Wait, what? During the awards show, the five artists will perform in a tent outside the Staples Center in front of a crowd of 1,000. Grammy show producer [...]

Let me paint you a picture: the year is 2004; I'm a junior in high school, and it's spring time. The weather is beautiful outside, and the country roads welcome my friends and I with open arms; more impressively, Lil' Wayne could rap... and well. More often than not, Tha Carter was the soundtrack to those beautiful afternoons. On "This is the Carter", Lil' Wayne boastfully says "I'm finally perfect"; that statement couldn't be more true about Wayne's fourth solo outing. Mannie Fresh's production on Tha Carter is near legendary, and Lil' Wayne's vivid imagery and [...]
