Poker Champion Evelyn Ng Reviews DJ Hero (Video)

Most people might know me as a professional poker player, but I’m also an avid gamer.  For the last few years, I’ve spent most of my time away from the poker tables, rocking-out on a fake plastic guitar to rhythm games like Guitar Hero, Rock Band and their various incarnations. My hobby is actually more of an obsession, and I’ve been known to play for several hours on end, sometimes to the point where my fingers are aching in pain.

I’ve loved classic Rock and Metal for a long time, but my musical tastes are quite varied, and I fell in love with House music and early Hip-Hop as a teenager.  I’ve always felt like I had the ear and dexterity for it DJ, but aside from a little messing around on friends’ decks here and there, I never gave it …

Kanye and Jay-Z Producer Mr. Hudson Stars In His Own Shows (Interview)

Ben Hudson, more appropriately known to his fans as Mr. Hudson, is standing on the rooftop of New York City’s Island Def Jam building, and looking forward to all the sushi NYC can offer to calm his vertigo following his exclusive interview with URB.com. A view from the top can’t be all that unfamiliar for the favored hip hop producer and artist hailing from London. Following mainstream success in his United Kingdom home, his transition has been smooth given the co-sign from the current guru of producers turned emcees, Kanye West. That equals production credits on 808’s & Heartbreaks and Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3, plus a plethora of upcoming projects, including Estelle new solo record. But it’s his own U.S. debut for Island-Def Jam, Straight No Chaser, that has people talking.
