Tyrese decided to have an online listening party for his upcoming album, Open Invitation. The event was hosted at him home - hosted from his living room.
Rapper/actor Ludacris, The Ludacris Foundation and Nissan South partnered to give away 20 used vehicles to Metro Atlanta residents who won an essay contest.
4,000 contestants were required to write a 300-word essay explaining why they needed the car.
The Grammy Award-winning artist felt people needed transportation to be able to find or keep work, so the car give-away was the perfect way to give back.
In addition to receiving the cars, the winners also get free gas for 30 days.
Readers, I've been getting a lot of email about this app from you guys. As soon as I find out the specifics I'll post them, so bookmark and check back soon. Thanks for passing through...and comment! LOL.

Clearly T-Pain is trying to show Jay Z that Auto-Tune is nowhere near dead.
First, Jay-Z pops up with his song, dissing it, basically saying it's finished
The following week, footage of T-Pain showing off a new Auto-Tune app using the iPhone pops up.
T-Pain countered Jay-Z well because, what he is promoting incorporates a new technology(iPhone) with an existing technology(Auto-Tune) and shows how easy it is for anyone to have "that sound"(convenience).
Jay-Z's premise is; rap music should be authentic. Cool.
T-Pain on the other hand is saying, "f*ck that ish you heard, you can sound good!". You can look at the reactions of the people in the room above and see how popular it is with the public.
I'm all for authenticity, bruh... but, I know a losing battle when I see one.
T- Pain didn't make all of those people buy those records against their will and I doubt Jay-Z will be able to make them stop...against their will.
