Stewart justinstewart http://hiphopwired.com/?p=24741 While the world of Hip Hop twiddles their thumbs in anticipation for the drop of Just Blaze and Jay Electronica's joint effort Act II, this will have to hold everyone over until it drops, whenever that happens to be.

With the positive response from Exhibit C, Electronica takes it back to the first with the visual for Exhibit A (Transformations). Unlike the usual Hip Hop music video, thankfully, the rapper had the shoot done in Nepal/Dubai and it actually appears that the video will actually have some substance to it and not the usual ‘I'm gonna rap and look gangsta'.

The video was directed by Jason Goldwatch and cinematography was handled by Robot The Magnificent.  Unfortunately a teaser, now there's more to wait for from Jay.

Fifa or the Federation Internationale De Football Association asked the Grammy winning artist and her husband to perform for a kick-off concert of the upcoming soccer finals. The Carters will perform separately alongside popular African artists and The Black Eyed Peas. The performances are being used to stir up excitement among fans, sponsors and broadcasters in the countdown to the opening game. The event will take place at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto, Africa June 10, 2010.

Proceeds from the concert will be donated to "20 Centres for 2010", the Official Campaign of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa. The goal of the program is to build community centers in Africa offering education and healthcare services as well as football training to disadvantaged communities.

Until then Beyonce is traveling to Dubai next month to perform with legendary rock band, Aerosmith. Their performances will be part of the Formula One race in Abu Dhab and serve as the openers and closers of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend.
