This is just a funny site to see Jay posted up, kicked back in the White House. I say this because I would have never expected to see a raper with the lyrical content that Jay has in this position of success that he’s is in; financially yes one could understand but politically and socially hell no lol… But I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised hip hop has always broken down barriers and Jay has changes up his image a bit… getting married, putting on the suit and tie, also Jay and Obama aren’t too far apart in age so I can actually see Barack being a low key Jay Z fan lol..
As Jay Z would say men lie women lie numbers don’t so here it is:

In this edition of ENTnext Alexis Diaz had a chance to catch up with soulful R&B/Hip-Hop artist from Detroit, MI; Ivan Keith.Ivan started his courtship with music in grade school as a musician; first trying the trumpet on for size, and later switching to saxophone. In high school Ivan taught himself some guitar basics and began to write songs and sing. He also focused his lyrical talents toward rap verses. In 2004 he hooked up with singer, producer, and songwriter Jacob Borum to create One Track Entertainment, LLC.
December 2009 marked the release of Ivan Keith’s debut album: About Love, produced by One Track and written by Ivan. While the title of the album gives away its subject matter, his use of synth laden beats with melodic lines give a fresh take on the topic at hand. There are songs such as “Healer” which seem completely influenced by the Neo-Soul movement, and others like “Vacation” that have current R&B and Hip Hop elements on top of a lush production arrangement. About Love covers every aspect of Love: the newness, the satisfaction, the breaking-up, and the making-up, and falling in love all over again.
This is definitely a talent you want to keep an eye out for in the years to come. His musical talent is very diverse which kind of put him in a lane all by himself, which isn’t a bad thing these days. Check out our Quick 6 interview with him below and some of his music. His album About Love is currently available for sale as a digital download on sites such as iTunes, amazon.com, lala.com etc.
