Dominique Young Unique 'Follow The Leader' video

Within a year of releasing her first mixtape, DOMINATION, 19-year-old Tampa Bay rapper Dominique Young Unique has gone from rapping in the courts of her Robes Park Projects in Miami to playing a world-wide stage, performing alongside the likes of N.E.R.D, Big Boi, Die Antwoord and Gucci Mane.

Teaming up with producer David Alexander (Yo Majesty), she has a taste for rapid-fire raps and high-speed electro club beats. Youthful, raw and full of bite, this 19 year-old is crashing onto dancefloors with her militaristic mash-up of club and hip-hop. It's been a busy year for the up and coming rapper, with the release of the "Glamorous Touch" mixtape, a SXSW takeover and a whirlwind of performances all over the US including opening for Big Boi, Girl Talk and Sleigh Bells.

In June, Dominique will travel to Europe for a summer tour, performing first at Sónar, Spain's three-day music festival in its eighteenth year. She will also play at Glastonbury, which has Beyoncé and U2 headlining this year's festival. more info +

Ajram wins 'best revolution song'

It appears that Lebanese singers have grown used to playing musical chairs when it comes to various polls, and no other Arab singers seem to dare to compete with them.

After the polls "Most Emotional" and "Best Apperance", a new poll has been created by "bikhsoushalshi.com" for best song dedicated to the Egyptian people's revolution.

Nancy Ajram's song "Wahshani Ya Masr" (I Miss You, Egypt) was able to beat Nawal Al Zoghbi's song "Hona Al Qahira" (Here is Cairo) and Carole Samaha's song "Ya Masri Ya Bou Dam Hami" (Hot-Blooded Egyptian).

Ajram's production company Arabica Music was the first to congratulate her on her victory, according to "Youm7.com".

The president of the company, producer Mohamed Yassine, phoned her and wished her even more success.

Nancy did not hide her happiness with the result of the poll, and extended her thanks to her fans who voted for her.
