LEBRON TO RECEIVE MVP FOR 2ND STRAIGHT YEAR

LeBron James has joined one of the NBA's most exclusive clubs. The Cavaliers superstar was voted the league's MVP for the second straight year, a person familiar with the announcement told The Associated Press today. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the league has not announced the results of the vote.

BUCKS MASCOT BANGO DUNKS OFF LADDER

Better late than never, the Milwaukee Bucks were impressive Monday night, surprising the Atlanta Hawks to even their playoff series at two games apiece. But the most spectacular performance on the court that night did not come at the hands of an NBA player. No, it was Bucks mascot Bango who took mascot antics to another level by dunking from a massive 20 foot ladder including a flip in the epic jam for good measure

ERIC BAILEY - NEW SITE

Artist, Eric Bailey, recently relaunched his website, birdsandbullets. Check out a sample of some of his fresh artwork below, and be on the look out for some big things coming from this dope artist!

Having many sources of fascination from an early age, the heart of artist Eric Bailey's practice is in the influence he draws from his surroundings. From the coastal settings of Big Sur and Santa Cruz, Ca to the streets of San Francisco, Bailey finds artistic inspiration in the natural meets modern. This comes through in his classical style oil paintings that fuse glamour with nature and turn a contradictive eye on the traditional thought of luxury. Bailey currently resides in San Francisco, Ca where he intends to take his concept of naturalism versus materialism even further. Intermingling the two-standout energies of Northern and Southern California, Bailey plans to give life to the final product. When executed the collection will be a facetious concoction of the organic beauty of unrefined settings meshed with the polished refinement of extravagance.

EMINEM -NOT AFRAID

Here goes the first single off Eminem’s upcoming album Recovery, called "Not Afraid." Recovery us due out June 22, 2010,and will feature production from DJ Khalil, Just Blaze, Jim Jonsin and Boi-1da, among others.

"I had originally planned for Relapse 2 to come out last year," remarked Eminem. "But as I kept recording and working with new producers, the idea of a sequel to Relapse started to make less and less sense to me, and I wanted to make a completely new album. The music on Recovery came out very different from Relapse, and I think it deserves its own title."
