Marcus Canty is a newly signed artist on Epic Records


I am really glad to learn that Marcus has also been signed to Epic Records by his former "X Factor" mentor L.A. Reid. This is really big news because Marcus was one of my favs on "X Factor" and he lives about 15 minutes away from me. Much success to all 3 fellas (Marcus Canty, Chris Rene and Astro) that were formerly on "X Factor" and newly signed to Epic Records.

(New Music) JLS - 'Proud'


I like this song and it is a very uplifting track. The fellas delivered very well vocally on this ballad. I am starting to notice that they sound really good on the ballads.

Listen to 'Proud' below:

(New Music Video) Far East Movement Ft. Rye Rye - 'Jello'

B.O.B kills it on this freestyle. Now, the attached video is not a music video. It is moreso just him having a good time (and things).

Here is the first release from Gucci's upcoming mixtape by the same name dropping on superbowl sunday. This is a real laid back and chill type of track. I really like this track and I could so see myself blastin this in the car.

Astro is a newly signed artist on Epic Records

Astro

I am happy to announce that Astro has been signed and I kinda figured that he would get signed if he ever lost on X Factor. So yea, my fav act on X Factor in the U.S. during it's first season has been signed.

SOPA A.K.A. Stop Online Piracy Act

I will not create any new post today due to SOPA and will take part in the day long online blackout. Hopefully this will prevent this bill from passing. For more info watch the vid below:

(New Music) Teairra Mari Ft. 2 Chainz - 'U Did That (Remix)'

This remix is not bad at all and it also crosses me as a good stripper type of song. It has a real good mid tempo beat to it that can also be very seductive if need be. The origional is set to be Teairra's debut single for her upcoming sophomore album on Rico Love's "Divisional Label".

Listen to the remix of 'U Did That' below:

Brandy & Monica duet finally named and given a release date

Monica and Brandy

Now, as a 80's baby and true fan of 90's R&B music I can honestly say that I am ecstatic about this news, I kinda had a feeling that they would record together again and once I really started to realize how close they have become as friends via Twitter I knew that it was only a matter of time. The new song is titled 'It All Belongs To Me' and is due for a February 6th release. This song will also appear on both singers new albums and will also be a continuation of the ladies 1998 Grammy winning single 'The Boy Is Mine'.

Chris Brown puts all Rihanna reunion rumors to rest with new tattoo


Now, I will admit that I thought (and still do think) that C.B. and Rihanna would get back together. Chris apparently set these rumors to rest with his latest tat of his girlfriend. He does realize that this dies not guarantee a long term relationship or marriage right? I hope so, but this was still an overly stupid decision in my opinion. I currently have 4 tat's myself and always said that the only names that I would get tatted on me are names of people whose positions could never change such as parents and kids. All in all it is his decision take a look at his new tat below:

Rihanna getting high, is it really that good?










Ok, I have never smoked (illegally) a day in my life and I can honestly say that these pics of her getting high are unflattering. I mean, to each it's own but with her young fan base she might want to do this in an area that cameras cannot get her. Kinda unladylike but that is just my opinion.

(New Music) Sam Hook & Symbolic One - 'Freedom' (MLK Tribute)

Sam Hook

Im not even gonna review a tribute song, I am only sharing it with you guys. The producers of several big name artist team up to honor and pay tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the national holiday dedicated to the late civil rights leader.

Listen to 'Freedom' below:

(New Music) Joistarr Ft. Game - 'Change The World'

JoiStaRR

This mid-tempo track is kinda boring to me. I mean it is not bad buy in all honesty this track could really put me to sleep.

Listen to 'Change The World' below:

(New Music) Iggy Azalea - 'Roman In Moscow (Remix)'

Iggy Azalea

Iggy's version rocks real hard and in all honestyy I really was not expecting that.

Listen to the 'Roman In Moscow (Remix)' below:

Happy 33rd Birthday Aaliyah, R.I.P.

(New Music) Dondria - 'You Know'


This track is not bad at all bad I somewhat like it. I think this track is album worthy but I do not think it is good enough to be a single.

Listen to 'You Know' below:

(New Music Video) Young Jeezy Ft. 2 Chainz - 'Supafreak'

(New Music) Hi-Five Ft. Dondria - 'Kissing Game (Remix)'


I am soo looking forward to this mixtape because I love 90's music and thus far I have not heard a song that I dislike from this future mixtape.

Listen to 'Kissing Game (Remix)' below:

(New Music) Case Ft. Dondria - 'Happily Ever After (Remix)'


Now, once again this date on the image for the release of the mixtape is wrong simply because Dondria felt that the mixtape needed a little more work.

I have always liked this song but it sounds pretty good with Dondria on it also.

Listen to 'Happily Ever After (Remix)' below:

(Album Review) Mya - "K.I.S.S."


To me, this album seems moreso pop infused and I really like that because several of the songs on this album are really club worthy. This album dropped in the U.S. on December 20th and is only currently available as a mp3 download. I definately had to bite the bullet and get over my want for an actual CD. While listening to this album I already have a favorite track currently 'Somebody Come Get This Bitch' is my jam LOL. 

This album is a must buy and for those interested, it is available for preview, purchase and download Here in the U.S. but I am not 100% sure about other countries.

(New Music) Cherlise Ft. Fat Joe - 'I'm So Ready'

GroundZero

This song kinda reminds me of some songs done in early 2000's and im really liking it. Fat Joe comes in for a quick 8 bars at the very beginning of the song and is done by the 30 second mark. I was kinda pissed that it was all I heard by him. Kinda pointless to me, but all in all I do kinda like this song from her new mixtape "GroundZero" which drops on Monday.
