(Alum Review) R. Kelly - "Love Letter"



This is another true R&B album as R. Kelly always sticks to. This album has an old school feel to it circa 50's and 60's with a lil 70's in there also. All in all it is a good chill throback album. As a person who loves music from that era, I can honestly say that it is a real chill and laidback album. This is a must buy.

(Album Review) Dirty Money - "Last Train To Paris"



I really like this album, however as much as I like guest appearances this was a little bit overkill. There are several tracks that I love on the album but to me I want to see an artist or group that is able to carry their own without guest appearances on over 80% or an album. I still say that it is a good album to buy and really has no major dissappointments. Can't say I see a long term future for them or any group under Bad Boy Records tho.

(Album Review) Tank - "Now Or Never"



Here is another classic R&B album. Overall I honestly can say that this album did not fully grab my attention. Im just not feelin it, good project tho. It just feels like it is missing something and I don't know what it is. At the same time, I gotta congratulate him for repping male R&B.

(Album Review) Kandi - "Kandi Koated"



This album is real smooth and chill. I love her smooth vocals over these mello beats. It has a real calming effect and is the type of album you can play while you have company over or even while you are cleaning the house. Yea, it is just that smooth. Mos def a must buy.

(Album Review) Trey Songz - #LEMMEHOLDATBEAT (Mixtape)



In all honesty it was very clear that this was a mixtape by the severe lack of effort put towards it. There are a few tracks that I like but the mixtape overall is a hot mess. This might be something that grows on me but I doubt it. Feel free to preview and or download the mixtape below.

(New Music) Dirty Money Ft. Trey Songz - 'Your Love'



 

I just finished listening to the song and I like it. This is mos def a wintertime club banger, not too rough but not too light either. In all honesty it does sound like Trey Songz Ft. Dirty Money but whatever. This is a hot track that makes you wanna wind it back on the dance floor.

Aretha Franklin Has Cancer

Fox 2 News in Detroit has learned that the "Queen of Soul" has cancer. A relative of Aretha Franklin tells reporter Al Allen that the icon has cancer. Another relative says the family is very concerned.

At this time Franklin's family says she is doing "OK", but they are asking for the continued prayers and thoughts from the community. Add your sentiments in the comment module below>

Pop Crunch.com published an article today citing a report by The National Enquirer that Franklin has incurable pancreatic cancer. Fox 2 could not confirm the type of cancer that Franklin has. Last week she underwent surgery for a mystery illness.

The surgery was deemed a success, but it came under mysterious circumstances. A few weeks ago Franklin canceled all concerts through May 2011 due to "medical reasons."

This is a statement released by Franklin following her surgery last Thursday (December 2nd):

The surgery was highly successful. God is still in control. I had superb doctors and nurses whom were blessed by all the prayers of the city and the country. God bless you all for your prayers! -- The Queen of Soul, Ms. Aretha Franklin

(Album Review) Michael Jackson - "Michael"



So, I just finished listening to the entire album via my post regarding the album preview. I grew up on MJ and always liked his music and always will. Listening to the album you can tell these were songs from 10 - 30 years ago and any MJ stan can probibly tell you which album these songs were supossed to be on. There are 3 features on this album and the only one I found as unnecessary was 50 cent. Overall, I like the album although the vocals on a few of the tracks are questionable at best. I still have every intention of buying the album. Overall it is still a good collection of previously unreleased music by MJ.

(New Music) Swizz Beatz Ft. Eve - 'Hot Steppa #1'

 

I am very happy to hear Eve's return to the mic but this track and Swizz are easily forgetable. Hate to put it like this but the track just does not stand out to me. It might get SOME attention simply because Eve is on it. Then again it might not.
