For a while now, it has been difficult to find good hip-hop music- you know, music with original beats, clean lyrics, and un-synthesized vocals. But times are changing; enter Rue Melo.
The hot, fresh 23-year old songstress is redefining the overly used term artist. Her debut CD, Rue Melo, honors her multi-cultural heritage and indulges in her struggles on her path to music industry stardom. Her tunes are MTV worthy, and, though very unlikely for hip-hop lately, PG-13.
Drop by The Courier's office, Room 509, for a free Rue Melo poster, while limited supplies last.

From wikipedia:
Elizabeth Arden (December 31, 1878 - October 19, 1966) was a Canadian businesswoman who built a cosmetics empire in the United States.
Arden was born Florence Nightingale Graham in Woodbridge, Ontario, where she lived until she was twenty-four years old. Joining her elder brother in New York City, she briefly worked as a bookkeeper for the E.R. Squibb Pharmaceuticals Company. While working there, she spent hours in their lab, learning about skincare. She then worked for Eleanor Adair, an early beauty culturist, as a "treatment girl." In 1909, Arden formed a partnership with Elizabeth Hubbard, another culturist. When the partnership dissolved, she coined the business name "Elizabeth Arden" from her former partner and from Tennyson's poem "Enoch Arden."
