Were you as shocked as I am when I heard socialite Kim Kardashian was working on her single? Well now we know who gave Kim K the idea in the first place, the infamouse Kanye West. According to aceshowbiz.com She tells MTV.com, “OK, I’m not a singer, this isn’t what I do. I have too much other stuff going on. (I thought) ‘Is this really something safe for me to do?’ Kanye was actually one of the people who really talked me into doing it and telling me, like, ‘Hey, look, what do you guys do for fun? You guys go shopping, you go to the movies. Kind of step into our world for a second and have fun, and we go to the studio.’ I’m just doing it for fun.”

Last year Kim teamed up with The Dream who wrote and produced her “Turn It Up” single. In an interview with “The Seven”, Kim additionally clarified, “There’s no album in the works or anything — just one song we did for the show, and a video Hype Williams directed. Half of the proceeds we’re giving away to a cancer foundation, because The-Dream’s and one of my parents passed away from cancer. It’s just all having fun — with a good cause.” 

Music for a good cause is always a wonderful thing. Although despite what Kim says I wont be surprised to see an album from her in the near future, anything is possible. Stay tuned to 24hourhiphop.com for more up to the mintue hip hop news.
