Put A Ring On it video

SuperFriend - MaryMary feat David Banner

If I Were a Boy video

Ok...Now that I've seen the video, I get a better idea of where she was going. like the idea that she trying to be abstract and push her lyrics and music has far to the edge. Its cute, but I still don't think I should have needed a video to get where she's going... enjoy!

Single Ladies (Put a ring on It!)

"Don't be mad once you see he want it..." - Beyonce Knowles-Carter

My girl Beyonce has dropped two new singles from her her new album that is slated to be released on November 18th. I'm not quite sure what the title of the new album is, but I'm excited to hear more from her. 'Single Ladies' could have been on B'day, with its techno beat that reminds me of Pac-Man. 'If I Were a Boy' is going to have to grow on me. Enjoy!


Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)


If I Were a Boy

WTF Ye?

its been a while because your girl is out here grinding, but what better way to come back than with a video from Kanye West. I''m not exactly sure what the tribal theme has to do with the song, but who really knows what goes on in that mans mind... enjoy!

Promised Land

"I think we well overdue for CHANGE this time..."
- Malik Yusef

Regardless of your political stance this track is quite beautiful. I love the spoken word Mr. Yusef dropped and the purity of the strings backing Adam Levine's sharp vocals. Enjoy!

Hustaz' Pray

Here's a new joint from the big homie freeway. I've always loved his flow and wish other folks would get on.

"Cash rules everything around me, I'm out here trying to get this CREAM..." -Freeway

Hustla'z Prayer

He's talking again...

Trey Songz always has something to say, and I believe its a good thing. Here's his version of Jazmine Sullivan's new single 'Bust Ya Windows'... Her new album Fearless is crazy hot, check the blog for a post ofmy favorites. I've been crazy busy, so my music game has been slipping... but I'm trying to catch up!!! Peace!

Bust My Windows - Trey Songz

His Only Woman

I never would have imagined Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia on the same track. They are 2 of the most soulful singers in R and B and this song and style brings out the best of them. I loved the 'Woman to Woman' reference, Tasia drops. There's the classic phone call in the beginning that is really funny. Jazmine Sullivan was originally slated to be on the track, but was replaced by mutual labelmate, Fantasia Barrino. (all three artists are on J Records). You can hear Miss Sullivan on the background vocals. Enjoy!

I'm His Only Woman feat Fantasia - Jennifer Hudson

Finally the Bond Theme!

When I first heard that Alicia Keys would be working on the new James Bond film; The Quantaum of Solace theme song, I was excited. when I read she was working with Jack White of the White Stripes, I was counting down the days, until November 14th when the movie is released. I like the way Alicia's voice sounds over the ragged guitar riffs... interesting.

Another Way to Die - Alicia Keys and Jack White

Love Lockdown remixed

I told you I LOVE it when he does these! He has redone a lot of tracks in his career.... I think I feel a playlist coming. :) :0

Love Lockdown- Trey Songz remix

Cool

There is something about this man's voice... Anthony Hamilton is back with this new single. I love it even without the David Banner verse. I know he's a Southern Gentleman as well, but Mr. Hamilton was enough for me.

"If you're cool, then I'm cool..."


Cool f David Banner - Anthony Hamilton

Jazmine Sullivan is busting windows!

I was just telling my girl that I really needed a new Jazmine Sullivan single (I was starting to get tired of I Need U Bad), but I didn't think she was going to come back this hard. I have no doubt that this song will be very popular...lol!


"You broke my heart, I broke your car..." - Jazmin Sullivan

Bust Your Windows

Bonus NeYo!!

Here's an iTunes bonus from NeYo's new album The Year of the Gentleman. It hits stores next Tuesday, Sept 16th. I like the message in this track...

"What the matter with you, you ain't that your dream come true..." - NeYo

What's the Matter

Don't Make me Hit You with my Pocketbook....

"I got my hair in a ponytail and they on me... trust me i could get them all day..." - Jennifer Hudson

Nelly

I'm not sure if I should like this song, but I do...lol!

You Could Get It- Nelly feat. Gucci Mane and R. Kelly

Ohh Girl

Raphael Saadiq and my boyfriend Jay Z got all syrupy sweet on this track... I'm really digging the throwback to the 60's with this track. It reminds me of the music my dad used to play.

Ohh Girl

Love Lockdown

Ok, whatever has been inspiring Mr West...I like it. The simplicity of the boards on the track make his pitchy vocals somehow, alright. I can't wait to hear 808's and HeartBreak which is slated for a December release.

"I'm not loving you, way I wanted to... see I wanna move, but can't escape from you."- Kanye West

THIS is What them Girls Like

Solange and Wale

I loved the original version of F8ck the Industry from Solange, but when Wale hopped on the track...it earned them both points. Enjoy1

Its Over!!!

"How can I be without your hate, it gives me peace of mind... so please don't tell me its over!"



When I first saw this track, I thought it was going to be a love song. Well, it is, sort of... to all of his haters. Gym Class Heroes are hilarious...they really didn't need Lil Wayne on this to make it
hot.

Don't Tell Me Its Over

Lloyd! Is that how you feel??

I just had to share this super sexy track from Lloyd's newest album Love Lessons.

The N Word...

"...see some old friends, don't want nothing, but favors. I got too much to lose, I'll fuck em up later." - Charles Hamilton





A few months ago I introduced you to a young man named Charles Hamilton. Well here's a couple of tracks from him that I'm diggin. 'The N Word' uses a sick Mr. Rodgers loop mixed with him tickling the keys. While 'C Food' has a Spanish guitar keeping the track interesting. i have a great respect and love for real music and real musicians... this kid is really talented. I'd keep my antennas up for him.

Please Stop Stressing

"When your boy P do it, the whole world stop and listen to the music..." - Prodigy

Now here's a song that I can relate to and who better to give it to me other than Prodigy; one of the best lyricists in the game. This is the 1st single from his his newest album Product of the 80's. This will the second album he has released since he's been serving time for a gun possession charge. He's been reported saying that prison has made him wiser. "When I get back out there in the real world it's gonna be on. (I'm) much better, much wiser (than before the incarceration). It's going down, trust me." Product of the 80's drops on October 21st.

Stop Stressing

Yes, Singers freestyle too!

The Dream hopped on the Put On beat, he didn't kill it, but it did require a couple of stitches.

Put On - The Dream

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha! lol

Marsha Ambrosious has been dropping tracks from her upcoming solo album... And as one of her friends (on Myspace) she's really pissed about all the leaks, so I'll give you guys her mixtape 'Neo-soul is Dead'. Yes, I know its old (dropped back in January??) but some of you slowpokes haven't caught on yet... so here ya go. Enjoy!

Trey Songz is taking orders...

I love it when Trey Songs takes the little bit of syrupy sweetness that rappers give us, and flips the script. People don't really give him the credit he deserves.

Whatever You Like (remix) - Trey Songz

Dear Summer '08

Summer is officially over. And as I watch the children walk to school all I hear is Summer Breeze by the Isley Brothers and try to remember where July went... Summer '08 has been filled with laughter, love, loss and a hope for CHANGE, but its also been chock full of great music. So I complied a playlist of the music that was CONSTANTLY on repeat in my ears...

Announcement

Porcelain Doll

Here's a new song from Brandy's new album Human. I'm really excited to about all the new music from her. There are no production credits listed anywhere for the track, but this song... I like it.

New Music from Mr. Raymond

I was left little unimpressed by Here I Stand, Usher's latest release. I'm not sure if these are just album or castoffs or what, but the Usher fans will hunt me down and maim me if they knew I was keeping these to myself....so here you go. You enjoy these, as I enjoy full use of my limbs. HA!

Traffic

What Did You Do

Keri Hilson

I've been listening to the tracks from Keri Hilson's double pushed back debut album and to be perfectly honest...I wasn't impressed. I guess her songwriting magic, only works for everyone, but her. But anywho... I heard Mic Check and I almost like it....what do you guys think?


Mic Check

The Greatest Show on Earth

I was wondering why T-Pain was running around looking like the Mad Hatter, but THIS explains everything... He's releasing his 3rd solo album Three Rings. Its not really a circus, but I've heard it's more like an arena-sized event. Thanks to the good homie over at YHTN for being soooo plugged. Ha! I'm not sure when the release date is, but the album will feature Lil' Wayne, Anthony Hamilton, Raheem Devaughn and even Chris Brown. I'm excited... Are you??

Somebody Tell Em'

Oh yeah...there will be a 'Pre-Ring' mixtape hitting streets really soon, it hosted by none other than DJ Khaled

Word Play = Jeezy

Ok, so like every album worth waiting for, Jeezy has leaked four tracks from his upcoming album The Recession, which hits stores September 2nd. I'm not into blasting half an album, but I will let you guys have this track...Wordplay. It was produced by The Justice League.
