It’s been quite a year for Jessica 6.

Despite their busy schedule, Jessica 6, had time to do a video of “Fun Girl” directed by Bijoux Altamirano. You can watch the exclusive video premiere at Santos Party House. Deitch Projects will present the Jessica 6 ‘Fun Girl’ Video Premiere. It is hosted Bijioux Altamirano. Doors open at 7:30 and the video premiere is at 9pm followed by a performance by Jessica 6. It’s going to be a sexy night. Be sure to RSVP for entry by emailing: wwwevents@inch.com.

Shunda K is quite passionate about her music and her life. This was evident when her band, Yo! Majesty, was featured in our 3rd issue in March of this year. During the following e-mail interview, Shunda enlightens us about her music, influences and the future of hip-hop.
IN*TANDEM: It’s been a while since we’ve chatted with you, what have you been up to in the past few months?
Shunda K: I have so much going on, thank God. Well, back in June I dropped 2 mixtapes: The Best Eva Written…Outkast (where I used about 20 Outkast instros and created a project, which shows how faith in Jesus Christ can bring you out of anything) and Shunda K: Kollaborations (which features collaborations with various artists/producers I’ve worked with in the past 2 years or so). They both charted on the CMJ Hip Hop charts and that alone speaks for itself as far as where Shunda K stands in this industry…just know I’m standing!!! Aside from that, I’ve secured me a worldwide booking agent, where we’re gonna get this “Real Love Tour” kicked off in Australia, so world get ready, I told you I was coming!!! I”ll be releasing my first solo album as Shunda K on Fanatic/EMI early 2010, with plenty of singles out now for your listening pleasure. Oh, did I mention the mixtapes were free?! Yeah, they are at www.shundak.com. There are over 40 tracks available in addition to the Peaches mixtape, so yall eat it up!!!
