” I got a gold name plate that says I wish you would” – LL Cool J.

If designer Kerri O’Connell had it her way, lyrics like this would all be replaced with “wood”. O’Connel has turned a personal wooden ring project into GoodWood NYC, one of New York’s newest major players in fashion accessories. Offering handmade, artistic pieces from custom rings, pendants, bracelets, to earings, GoodWood is catching the eyes of many notables such as The-Dream, Lebron James, Wale, Nas, and many more who have all been seen donning a custom GoodWood peice.  Get your’s now!

I don’t know what I’ve been doing these last couple of months that made me miss Electrik Red dropping their debut album, “How to Be a Lady: Vol. 1″. Oh, you didn’t hear about it either? Figures.

R&B gorilla.” The Atlanta recording studio that the singer — songwriter shares with beat magician Tricky Stewart became a virtual hit factory, churning out tuneful and inventive smashes for the likes of Rihanna (”Umbrella”) and Beyoncé (”Single Ladies”).

But with his second CD, the man born Terius Nash leaps into another league. These 14 songs draw on pro forma R&B subject matter: sex, sex in VIP rooms, breakup sex, makeup sex. But the combination of classicist songcraft, wild sound collage and a muse that partakes equally of the sensual and the silly makes Love vs. Money far more than just an accomplished genre piece.
