SNEAK PEEK Rock 'n' roll high school
SEVENTEEN MAGAZINE
The music biz has them all: the jocks, the loners, the beauty queens -- and they all have new CDs this summer!
SENIORS
URave Girl: Jewel
Shakira's producer helped club-ify our favorite poet-from-Alaska-who-used-to-live-in-a-van. Talk about reinvention!
ULocker Room Gossip: Fred Durst
Says Durst: "Limp Bizkit's 'Bipolar' CD goes from one extreme to the other." (Kind of like his relationship with you-know-who.)
JUNIORS
UHandiest with a hammer: Third Eye Blind
Stephen Jenkins and Co. get so back to basics that they even built their own studio to record their pounding new disc.
UClass Chameleon: Mya
She's all grown-up -- and so are her songs. Word is we'll be hearing about her booty calls and drag queen buddies!
SOPHOMORES
UMost Likely to Nap in Class: Ashanti
The girl pulled all-nighters to work on her new CD -- which sources say is even more soulful than her last. Is that possible?
UMen of Mystery: Hoobastank
Their new grungy disc still doe not reveal what a "Hoobastank" is. Our guess? It's kinda like a Snuffleupagus, only stankier.
FRESHMAN
UMost Likely to Succeed: Mark Ronson
The ex-Tommy Hilfiger model and celeb DJ got Rivers Cuomo and Mos Def to help out with his debut CD, "Here Comes the Fuzz."
UBest Female MC's: Northern State
People are talking nonstop about the old-school beats and rhymes of Long Island Girls Hesta Prynn, Guinea Love and DJ Sprout.
