Bow Wow

Bow Wow fans have waited a long time to witness the adult career of the former-kid-rapper-all-grown-up.  But the rhymeslinging, Atlanta-based heartthrob isn't merely just satisfied with getting older, he's spent most of his career turning lil' dreams into big ones. "I want to be the next Will Smith. There's nobody else doing what I'm doing at my age," says Bow Wow in a recent statement. "I'm only 25 and I have a long life ahead of me. I got a goal--I want to become the biggest black actor in Hollywood and then I want to be able to drop an amazing album." More >>

​Today, we're giving away two pairs of tickets to see a great band: the LA-based rockers Autolux. Formed by Eugene Goreshter (lead vocals, bass), Greg Edwards (guitar/vocals) and Carla Azar (drums/vocals) in 2001, the group has been straddling brash, krautrock-inflected noise-pop and trippy shoegaze, with a healthy dose of volume and Silver Lake attitude.

Originally formed as a duo by Erez Eisen and Amit Duvdevani in northern Israel, Infected Mushroom's trippy/psychedelic music has influenced electronic-music fiends and stoned groovers alike. They met in Goa, India, in 1996 through a mutual DJ friend and started making music for fun. In 1998, they were rejected by every major music label. With a lucky break, they released their first album in '99 and have produced seven albums since.

Although Infected Mushroom started out with only two members, they've expanded to four onstage musicians, including a guitarist and drummer. The full live lineup will play at the City National Grove of Anaheim on Feb. 25. Find out how to win after the jump.

He collaborated with Big Boi on the OutKast MC's solo album, Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, and was signed to Eminem's label Shady Records earlier this month. These two rap legends don't just give away verses and money, so they have to be onto something here. We're giving away two pairs of tickets to his show, so hang on to find out how to win after the jump. More >>
