NEW GIGS: Tamar Braxton SIGNS To Epic Records? Jurnee Smollet-Bell’s First Day On "True Blood" & Kevin Hart RE-UPS For Season 2 Of "Real Husbands"
Tamar Braxton, Jurnee Smollett and Kevin Hart and among The YBFers who’ve added their names to new payrolls. Find out about their new gigs inside….
According to the Epic Records website, Tamar Braxton has joined their payroll and roster and has inked a record deal with the label. Though there hasn’t been an official word from Epic or Tamar about the deal, she’s clearly listed on their website as one of their artists. And since there’s no photo to accompany her name, we guess she hasn’t gone on her first label-funded photoshoot yet.
And with the success of her "Love and War" single, we’re sure the label has her working very hard to put out a product soon. One interesting note, her single (which had 84,000 downloads) was removed from iTunes only to reappear under the Epic Records banner.
Congrats Tamar!
And in tv gigs……
Jurnee Smollet-Bell, who’s currently starring in Tyler Perry’s flick Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor (March 29), will be starring in the new season of HBO’s "True Blood." She tweeted a photo from the set with the caption: "Time to get to work …@HBOTrueBlood #BonTemps #TrueBloodSeason6"….
According to Deadline, Jurnee will be a series regular. She’ll play Nicole Wright, a wide-eye character "who is not concerned with money and more concerned with the common good and doing what’s right." So we guess she won’t be playing a vampire….
Also in television news….
Kevin Hart has signed on for a second season of "RHOH" on BET. And since the show was a breakout success for the network, we’re sure his paycheck received a significant upgrade. He tweeted,
In a press release about the renewal, BET’s President of Music Programming and Specials, Stephen Hill, said,
“When we launched this series in January, we knew our audience would have as much fun watching it as we had making it, and since it has been on the air, fans have voiced on social media that they want more. So this was a pretty simple decision: ‘Hey! Let’s make more! We are beyond thrilled that Kevin Hart and the stellar Husbands will be back bickering and back-biting for another season on BET.”
Meanwhile, Kevin’s next comedy film, "Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain" hits theaters July 3, 2013. Congrats Kevin!

Hip Hop beef may be back, but the antics are on another level. Rick Ross didn’t take Drake’s recent dis track Push-Ups lightly. Rozay immediately took to the studio to comeback at the ‘white boy’ with a dis of his own entitled Champagne Moments. The MMG CEO explains that he is on a different level of gangster and the Instagram antics can’t get him out of a luxurious seat in his private hanger. While exposing fandom audio, switchable accusations, and fake body parts, Rozay says this beef has to end face to face. Let us know your thoughts on the official video below. Stream your copy of the single here and follow Rick Ross on Instagram and Twitter.
In the bustling streets of Southeast, Washington DC, rapper Kazon’s latest offering, “My Brother,” emerges as a symphony of redemption and advocacy, resonating with audiences far and wide.
Kazon’s path to musical stardom has been fraught with obstacles, from brushes with the law to a brush with death that left him scarred but unbroken. Through it all, he credits his resilience to the belief that every setback is an opportunity for growth.
With “My Brother,” Kazon takes on the role of a lyrical mentor, offering guidance and solace to Black youth grappling with violence and systemic oppression. Through heartfelt verses and melodic refrains, he shares his own journey of redemption, using his past mistakes as a catalyst for change.
At its core, “My Brother” is a call to action—a plea for unity, love, and advocacy within the Black community. Kazon’s harmonious tale serves as a reminder that through solidarity and advocacy, we can effect real change and pave the way for a brighter future.
As the final notes of “My Brother” fade into the ether, Kazon’s message lingers: every trial is a testament to our strength, and every mistake is a chance to do better. Through his music, he invites us to join him in a journey of redemption and advocacy—one that holds the promise of a more just and equitable world for all.
