IFWT Exclusive: @MikePosner: Your Favorite Rapper’s Favorite Singer [Interview]
A few weeks back just outside of Philly, I had the chance to catch a Mike Posner show, and chat it up with him afterwards about everything he has going on. (Thanks to Karen Civil, Aaron Camper and Patrick on that!) The singer/songwriter/producer has been quite busy as of late, working on his next album, a Reebok deal, Justin Bieber’s new single…shall I continue? Decked out in a Coogi sweater and Timbs backstage at the Sovereign Performing Arts Center, Mike candidly spoke with me about all of the above, plus a whole lot more. (There’s a hilarious story about 2 Chainz’ recording process in there!) Get to know your favorite rapper’s favorite singer below. Marisa Mendez
IFWT Exclusive: Check Out The All New @HTC One Phone!
Earlier this week, I had the privilege of checking out the soon-to-be-released HTC One phone in Miami. The HTC staff, alongside the Beats By Dre staff (the phone comes equipped with Beats audio) showed myself and a handful of other bloggers some of the amazing features the phone offers in a variety of settings from the beach, to a yacht to the super cool commercial shoot for the phone in Little Haiti. I have to say, once I used the camera on the HTC One to take pictures of all the beautiful scenery, the cam on mine seems like it’s from the 80’s! I have NEVER seen a camera with such clarity. Not to mention the Beats audio is AMAZEBALLS (even with junky headphones) and it has some of the dopest features. The screen is pretty big too, perfect for tweeting, web browsing, game playing and the like. After the jump, I’ll go into specs on the phone, show you some of the amazing pics we took out in MIA and share the COOLEST FEATURE OF ALL on the phone. Be sure to check back later too as I take you guys behind the scenes of their new commercial! Marisa Mendez
