Amerie x Complex Magazine

Def Jam is doing a great job at getting Amerie all the promotion she can get for her new album. Too bad, the bulk of it is going on AFTER it's been released. She's been featured in numerous magazines, all over blogs, on Wendy Williams, and everywhere else you can imagine. The album is dope (Yes, I copped it on iTunes) and it only shows her vocal abilities even better than her last three albums.

People really sleep on the girl. Plus, she takes a meeeean photo. Here's a behind the scenes video of the singer's photoshoot.



Check out her spread with Complex Magazine, below.

Yeezy For Complex

Regardless of how much people hate him, you can't help but love him...



Kanye is at it again, with this cover shot for Complex's 77th April/May Anniversary Issue. This is much deeper than what you see. Hear it for yourself from West and photographer, Chris Milk. Kanye isn't ego-driven...right. And I'm married with children.



"Form is everything that takes up 3 dimensional space and texture is on the surface of it. The photography takes place virtually inside of the computer."
