Trombone Shorty & Friends NBA AllStar Game Half-time Show (Video)
New Orleans was definitely represented for the half-time show of the NBA AllStar Game with the city's very own Trombone Shorty and his band Orleans Avenue setting it of with some Nawlins funk. They were joined on stage by legendary artist Doctor John, as well as Guy Clark Jr., a show stealing Janelle Monae and the timeless Earth, Wind & Fire.
This was one of the better half-time shows in recent memory.

Marsha Ambrosius - Stronger Than Pride (Video)
Former member of the much missed Floetry, Marsha Ambrosius is back once again. She returns with a new single and video for "Stronger Than Pride" which is a remake originally recorded by Sade. Marsha freshens it up with the ill Jeru Tha Damaja sample from "Come Clean" and makes the song her own. I think she's done a great job here.
"Stronger Than Pride" will appear on Marsha's new album "Friends & Lovers".
