Watch: Trey Songz- Successful featuring Drake

Trey Songz has a new video for his song with Drake “Successful”. I like the new Trey Songz verse on the song and I like that they took the “hoes” part out of the chorus. The video…is very underwhelming. I appreciate that they didn’t go an obvious route and have them making it rain on [...]

Watch: Mary J. Blige- The One featuring Drake

Mary J. Blige has a new video for her song “The One” featuring Drake. I wasn’t totally in love with this song when I first heard it, but the video really upgrades the song for me. Mary is looking spectacular and all of the fierce looks she rocks in this video make it worth watching. [...]

Listen: Mariah Carey- I Want To Know What Love Is

Mariah Carey’s next single (at least in the UK) is slated to be a remake of “I Want to Know What Love Is”. All I have to say is yes, yes, yes! This is what I have been expecting from Mariah…to come out SANGING like she is still hungry for the top spot. She does a [...]

Listen: Monica- Betcha She Don’t Love You

Monica has a new song called “Betcha She Don’t Love You”. Um wow I didn’t see this coming at all…Monica doing a retro-80s type of song? After the first 20 seconds my skepticism wore off and I gotta say this actually hot! It’s hard to pull off 80s and not sound corny but I think Monica [...]

Listen: John Legend- Freak Out

John Legend has a new song called “Freak Out”. This is kinda interesting…it sounds like a song that could be on a Halloween movie soundtrack. The music has that horror movie eeriness to it. I love some of the elements in the production like the trumpet, which instead of sounding like big band adds to [...]

Listen: Drake- Forever featuring Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Eminem

Drake has a new song called “Forever” featuring Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem. In the first 30 seconds I’m not jocking the hook or the production, but once the verses kick in the song grows on me. The biggest thing that stood out to me was the first line in Drake’s verse “Last name [...]

Letoya Luckett is back with her second album “Lady Love” and AOL has the full album preview. I haven’t had time to listen to it, but I have been hearing some positive buzz about the album. I liked the songs I posted on the site a while back and it’s obvious she has taken the [...]

Today marks the 8 year anniversary of the tragic death of R&B singer and actress Aaliyah. Aaliyah was one of my favorite artists at the time of her death and her music will always have a special place in my heart because that is what I listened to in my coming of age years. I [...]

Listen: Jay-Z- Reminder

Jay-Z has a song from his upcoming album called “Reminder”. I honestly can’t say I’m jocking this. It’s cool, it’s aight, but it doesn’t really grab me. Perhaps it’s because his lyrical content is just not interesting. Do we really need a “reminder” about how great Jay-Z is and how much he has accomplished? He [...]

Listen: Jay-Z- Off That featuring Drake

Jay-Z has a new song off The Blueprint 3 called “Off That” featuring Drake. This song is departure from the more serious tone of “DOA” and “Run This Town” and is more along the lines of “Jockin Jay-Z” with it’s club banger type feel. Timbaland’s prints are all over this with the song being much [...]
