In Real Mint Conditon

Today is the day that Mint Condition released their seventh studio album title [7]. Mint Conditions single from their highly anticipated album "Caught My Eye" is one of my favorite songs. I've been a huge fan of Mint Condition, ever since I saw the video for pretty brown eyes on the Juke box. If you're not familiar with the Juke Box it was an all day video station that played music videos by phone request on Barden Cable Vision. This eclectic group of men play well and sing well together and have been together as a group for a very long time.

I am looking forward to seeing Mint Condition as they open for Monica on April 30th at the Detroit Opera House. If you haven't gotten your tickets yet, than I suggest you head out and purchase your tickets very soon, because I hear that Mint Condition puts on an amazing show. If you haven't yet heard Caught My Eye from their new album 7, than please take a listen to it now and hurry out and purchase your Mint Condition album today.

More than a "Thang"

Detroit’s been known as “Hitsville for a while, producing and developing many talented groups and singers stretching the musical spectrum and introducing the world to young, and incredibly gifted talent like Elijah “Lil ElijahJ” Johnson.

Lil ElijahJ, sets precedence for young kids that dare to dream and dream big. At the tender age of 12, Elijahis known to many as a triple threat phenom. He not only sings, he dances and acts. Elijah had the opportunity to prove his talent on a family trip to Atlanta in 2008 where he auditioned for the role of Simba for the Disney Broadway musical “The Lion King.” At the time, the part eluded him; a year later he was called back to audition in New York, with over eight thousand other kids. This time, Elijah came out on top and got the part as Young Simba.

Elijah captivated the hearts of many, while playing Young Simba in Las Vegas Nevada. During his Vegas stretch, he performed at the Michael Jackson Tribute Concert at the Palms Hotel Pearl Theatre, where he gave a remarkable and noteworthy performance. It won him a standing ovation and kudos from Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous’Robin Leech , saying Elijah could be the next Michael Jackson Phenom.

Elijah is very much influenced by the Legendary Michael Jackson admiring MJ’s strong work ethic and ability to put his all into every performance. To give his all acting, singing and dancing where he too can leave his audience in awe is the young performers end goal.

As he continues to build his craft his cd single entitled “Let Me Do My Thang” has received over 136,700 hits on Youtube.com. When asked what the song is about he simply answers, “It’s like the title say’s, let me do my [thang] while I perform and sing and if you’re a performer don’t try to hate on me while I’m doing my [thang].”

“Allow me to be creative in what I’m doing and trust that I will be able to do whatever it is that I set my heart to do,” he said..

Erica D. Hayes who is also a Detroit native directed lil ElijahJ’s “Let Me Do My Thang” video. She’s also, worked with Universal Motown Recording Artist KEM in directing his music video “Why Would You Stay.”
