&#8220;Get Her High&#8221; speaks to the &#8220;real&#8221; person who is going through a lot and just needs a break.<br />
As an up and coming artist, Cheeki is no stranger to struggle. She channels her challenges in Get her High with help from fellow songtress Melodi J and NJ emcee J Philippe.<br />
” Light an L.<br />
If it wasn’t for the weed.<br />
You’d remember all the hell.<br />
She smokes to forget<br />
And she coughs up the shit.<br />
That has caused her the shame.<br />
And the pain and regret…<br />
Keep her sane keep her sane<br />
Get he high Get her high&#8221;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.missinfo.tv/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bon-iver-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[52472]"><img class="size-full wp-image-52473      aligncenter" title="bon-iver-1" src="http://www.missinfo.tv/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bon-iver-1.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="279" /></a></p>
<p>After selling nearly 300,000 units of their self titled album,<em> </em><a href="http://www.missinfo.tv/index.php/things-i-love-bon-iver-x-james-blake-fall-creeks-boys-choir-new-sad-weird-music/">Bon Iver</a> is nominated for four <a href="http://www.grammy.com/">Grammy awards </a>this year. However, Justin Vernon said the indie-collective will be on pause for quite some time.  Briefly speaking on the growth of Bon Iver in an interview with <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/story/2012-02-01/grammy-nominee-bon-iver/52925816/1">USA Today</a>, Vernon says he&#8217;s working on a few other collaborative musical projects. Most hip-hop fans probably know him because he worked with Kanye West on <em><a href="http://www.missinfo.tv/index.php/kanye-wests-my-beautiful-dark-twisted-fantasy-album-cover-runaway-film-premiere/">My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy</a></em>. He also announced plans to work with <a href="http://www.missinfo.tv/index.php/meet-alicia-keys-alter-ego-dj-ak-47-video/">Alicia Keys</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I have a big idea to do an American songbook of the greatest women singers. There are so many: Casey (Dienel) from White Hinterland, Bonnie Raitt, Alicia,&#8221; and that he&#8217;d like to make &#8220;a one-off charity album to have an excuse to work with a bunch of people that I&#8217;d choose to work with, all at once.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Hit the jump to read when Vernon thinks Bon Iver will reunite.</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-52472"></span></p>
<p>Vernon added that the Bon Iver collective will be a stagnant crew, at least until 2015.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t have songs written yet. I&#8217;m guessing three years. But it could be five. It just depends when the songs come about. I sort of have to wait &#8217;til they reveal themselves.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>But still expect to hear from the indie artist.  It&#8217;s been announced that he has already recorded a few songs with Keys, yet, release information has yet to be revealed.  Vernon also said there&#8217;s two other projects he&#8217;s working on and hopes to work on a collaborative album.</p>
<blockquote><p>There&#8217;s Shouting Matches, which he refers to as &#8220;sort of a blues-gospel band,&#8221; and indie-pop Volcano Choir, which is working on an album for the Japanese market&#8230;At some point, he wants to do &#8220;a one-off charity album to have an excuse to work with a bunch of people that I&#8217;d choose to work with, all at once.&#8221;</p>
