LIT_Problem x Marisa Mendez

Problem is making quite a name for himself in the rap game, having amassed collaborations with big names like Wiz Khalifa, Chris Brown and more in recent months. Having nabbed not one but two spots on the #FunkFlexMixtape, Who You Mad At? Me Or Yourself?, (“Let The Blunt Go” with Chris Brown and “All I See,”) I wanted to sit down for a chat with the Germany-born, California raised MC while he was in town for his very first show in the Big Apple. Get to know Problem a little better below.

(Video) Marisa Mendez Interviews Kaylin Garcia for InFlexWeTrust

Kaylin Garcia has been one of the most talked about cast members on VH1′s Love & Hip-Hop…but yet, we actually never heard much from her. In fact, all outsiders really know is that she’s romantically linked to Joe Budden and she takes a mean Instagram photo.

With all the rumors surrounding her past and her relationship with Joe, I decided to sit down with the Miami native and get her take on everything that’s going on. If the writing on her shirt is any indication of how she’s feeling, it seems like the alleged “love-triangle” isn’t taking its toll on her one bit. Find out what she says about Joey, her future plans and more!

A few weeks back just outside of Philly, I had the chance to catch a Mike Posner show, and chat it up with him afterwards about everything he has going on. (Thanks to Karen Civil, Aaron Camper and Patrick on that!)

The singer/songwriter/producer has been quite busy as of late, working on his next album, a Reebok deal, Justin Bieber’s new single…shall I continue? Decked out in a Coogi sweater and Timbs backstage at the Sovereign Performing Arts Center, Mike candidly spoke with me about all of the above, plus a whole lot more. (There’s a hilarious story about 2 Chainz’ recording process in there!) Get to know your favorite rapper’s favorite singer below.

Summer Jam 2011 was so fun! I got to see so many of my faves, and I chopped it up with Lil Wayne, Drake and Mack Maine about what they’re wearing.

Tunechi is rocking a Fame hoodie (“Shout to Breezy,” he said), shorts by All-Son (he had to double check that one, LOL) Gucci belt (“You know that’s Gucci baby!”) Famous Stars & Stripes hat and Vans kicks. Shout out to his stylist Marisa (not me, LOL.) “Marisa said I can wear different things and they don’t have to match! It still look good!” So true!

Mack Maine is rocking True Blue Jordan 3’s, Polo socks (he wanted to make sure I mentioned that, LOL), an NY Giants snapback and a “Bury Me In My J’s” shirt by 8 & 9 Clothing.

As for Drizzy, it’s all Versace velour (he was appalled that I didn’t know that by looking at it, LOL!) and some black Timbs!

(Video) Marisa Mendez x Joe Budden for IFWT

I stopped by the studio to visit my guy Joey, and decided to ask him about the Slaughterhouse album that’s coming together since the boys signed to Eminem’s Shady Records label earlier this year.

Yesterday, MTV announced the album title would be Monster, but Joe tells us that’s not the case. Pardon the quality – videography isn’t my thing. LOL.
