"Chris Brown - Time To Love"

A New Snippet Of Time To Love, A New Song Off Of Chris Brown's Upcoming Album Called Graffiti


Time To Love is a new song off of Chris Brown's upcoming album, Graffiti. Just like his song Forever, Chris teamed up with producer Polow Da Don for the beat of the song. I want to warn you that this is only a snippet of the song. If I can get the entire thing, I will put it up. Also, there is a little internet DJ on it but nothing too big of a deal.

Overall, I think it is a really good song. Just like Forever, I really like when Chris and Polow work together because they can come up with some pretty good stuff. For the beat, I really like the portion during the refrain. I don't think it will be as uptempo of a song as Forever, but definitely not as slow as With You.

"T-Pain feat. Chris Brown - Freeze" (Video)

A Couple Weeks After Releasing The Single, T-Pain Debuts His Video For His Single Freeze Featuring Chris Brown

This song came out a few weeks ago, and I saw different video clips of Chris and T-Pain filming the video, so I have been waiting for the video for a while now. I really like the song, and I think that now the video is out the song will gain more momentum.

T-Pain featuring Chris Brown - Freeze

I really like Freeze, and I think the video is pretty good as well. However, I am beginning to get slightly annoyed with T-Pain using the same video concept three times in a row. He used the green screen for Can't Believe It and Chopped & Screwed, so it is getting a little repetitive. Despite all that, the video is still really cool, and I think the ending is really well done.

Introducing Marc Payne

Hailing From Los Angeles, Marc Payne Brings A Unique And Fresh Style To Hip-Hop, Drawing On His Past As A Spoken Word Artist


I have had the privilege of knowing Marc Payne for a long time. I have been able to see Marc grow as an artist, which has been really cool to be around. Marc started out doing spoken word poetry, winning different contests and competitions. From that talent as a writer and poet, Marc moved into the hip-hop game rapping and helping to produce and assemble his own team of talented musicians.

The two new singles off of Marc's upcoming album are titled Get It In and Get Freaky. Both are different in their tones and their styles. Get In is more of a laid back and cruisin' song, while Get Freaky is a lot more upbeat fit more for a party or club atmosphere. I really dig both of the songs, and I am really impressed with what Marc is doing. I am even more impressed with how good the work is considering Marc does it all on his own without a professional crew, studio, or equipment. Definitely check Marc out and give me some feedback.

Rihanna - Emergency Room

Even Though Her Album Isn't Set To Be Released Until 2009, Rihanna Debuts Her New Song Called Emergency Room

There is a lot of confusion over this song. Some people say that it isn't Rihanna singing, while others say it is. Also, some people say the guy on it is Akon, when others say it is Ray L. However, I am very convinced that it is Rihanna and very convinced that it is not Akon and maybe Ray L. Either way Emergency Room seems to be the first single off of Rihanna's next album.

I don't get the feeling that this is the finished track, and I think that there are some things that will probably still get worked out before its actual release. But it is definitely a good place to start for the song and then to definitely start for the album. I really like the beat of it and the lyrics are pretty solid, even though nothing exactly to write home about.

"Justin Timberlake feat. T.I. - If I"

After The Success Of My Love, Justin Timberlake Teams Up With T.I. To Make J.T.'s New Single, If I

After how good My Love, I get excited and expect a lot from a Justin Timberlake and T.I. combo. With how well T.I. is doing these days, it is not a surprise that this song get puts out now. Also, it is not a big surprise that it is produce by Timbaland.

If I isn't as good as I thought it would be, but it isn't bad at all. I like the beat, and I think it is the type of the song that will get a lot of radio play and success simply because it is a J.T.-T.I. combo. However, I don't really like how Justin sings so high for the entire song. T.I. does a good job and has some good and interesting lyrics. I really like the song though, and it will probably grow on me a lot.

"Lupe Fiasco - Hustlers and Customers"

In Anticipation Of His New Album, An Unreleased Lupe Fiasco Track Hustlers and Customers From A Few Years Back Surfaces

Lupe Fiasco has announced that his next album will be his final album. Now, I hope that just means that it will be his last album on Atlantic, and he is not quitting the game entirely. Even though he might try to pull the the whole Jay-Z retirement, which I believe he is above that stun, it would be a loss if he actually left the rap scene.

Hustlers and Customers is an old track from a few years ago that Lupe did. Even though it never got released, it definitely had the potential to be released. It has a solid urban beat and the delivery of Lupe reminds me a lot of Mos Def or Talib Kweli. I really enjoy the song, and I think it is a good find.

"The-Dream - Rockin' That Thang"

New Song From The-Dream, Rockin' That Thang, Off Of His Upcoming Album, Love vs. Money

I think I have said this before, but I am not the biggest fan of The-Dream for some reason, but I kind of like this song. It did not exactly blow me away, but I think Rockin' That Thang is a song people will like, but it probably won't be the best off of his upcoming album.

The beat left me wanting more, I just didn't think it was strong enough. I thought it was good and fun, but I wasn't wowed or impressed by it. I like The-Dream's voice, so that helped the song in my opinion. Love vs. Money will probably be pretty good, but I really don't think this is the best he has to offer.

"Busta Rhymes feat. Ron Browz - Arab Money" (Video)

Wow. That Is The Best Way To Describe The New Video and Song From Busta Rhymes, Arab Money. Yes, It Is As Ridiculous As The Title Implies

Busta Rhymes feat. Ron Browz - Arab Money

Where should I start? This video is too good. I don't know if Busta was actually trying to make a serious song or maybe just have some fun. To be honest, I kind of like the beat for the song, not only does it feature Ron Browz it was also produced by him. I found the end of the video kind of cool though of Busta and the audience. This is truly a monument in hip-hop music and video making.

"Lil' Wayne - Hot Revolver"

Even Though It Is Filled With Internet DJ Shout Outs, The New Lil' Wayne Track Hot Revolver Is A Fusion Of Musical Styles And One Of Wayne's Most Creative Songs Yet

I almost didn't put this up here because of how annoying the internet DJ is at the beginning of the song, but I listened to the song over and over again, and it has slowly grown on me. The first time I listened to it I couldn't put up with the DJ, so I didn't listen to it all the way through. But trust me, just give it one time all the way through and you will be impressed.

Lil' Wayne really tapped into his creative genius on Hot Revolver. I feel that people always try to knock Weezy for not being talented musically, however, in this song he blends so many types of genres into one it is interesting and impressive. The mix of rock in it is what really did it for me and made me really dig this song. I think Lil' Wayne could have possibly made a fan favorite with this song, even though it had to have the annoying internet DJ on it at the beginning.

"Kid Bass ft. Sincere - Good Girls Like Rude Boys"

Here Is A Hot New Track Straight From The UK, Which, If You Haven't Heard It Yet, Is Going To Be A Grower. Kid Bass Has Teamed Up With The Better Known Sincere For - Good Girls Like Rude Boys.


Kid Bass is a new kid on the block for me, to be honest, I have never heard of him. But, I do know this track is hot, I heard this a while back & didn't even like it at first, but now I think it is a jam. With the added credibility of Sincere, who already has some modest hits under his belt, this one looks like a hit.

I'm basically posting this for those people who cannot find this tune anywhere else, trust, it was a mission & a half for me to get hold of. But we need to support tracks like this, even if they do get big radio play, no one ever buys them. So if you get the track below, download it LEGALLY when it gets released next month.

"Jamie Foxx feat. Lil' Wayne - Number One"

Jamie Foxx And Lil' Wayne Team Up For Foxx's New Single Number One (Let's Get Dumb) Off Of His Upcomg Album Intuition

I never really understood how Jamie Foxx was able to transfer into the music business from acting and have so much success, but I really do like some of his songs. His new song Number One (Let's Get Dumb) featuring Lil' Wayne is a solid song with a strong beat and nice guest appearance from Weezy.

The lyrics in the song are pretty creative and witty, which is something I didn't expect from Foxx, so it was a pleasant surprise. His past songs haven't been too creative, but in this song he impressed me a little bit. I am not sure how much radio success the song will get even though I really hope it does well. It is a song that people will have fun listening to whether at a party or a club or just cruising.

"Britney Spears - Womanizer" (X-Factor Performance)

Simon Cowell's Influence Was Shown In Full Last Night As He Bagged The Comeback Performance Of The Century. Pop Princess Britney Spears Nailed Her Current Single - Womanizer, Live On The X-Factor.

While I'm not exactly a fan of Britney, I feel her initials sum up her music best... I was really interested to see if this performance would be car crash TV or a return to form, I'm glad it was the latter, I love to see the underdog succeed.

Britney Spears - Womanizer (X Factor Performance)

Despite the track being absolute crap & Britney's vocals being shakey at best, the performance as a whole was solid. The dancers were on-point, the whole circus theme totally worked & Miss Spears showed why she is a superstar, she made it look effortless. Let's hope her recent breakdown inspires some actual creative material, then she will get my stamp of approval.

"Leona Lewis - Run" (Video)

Run, As Most Will Know, Is The Leona Lewis Cover Version Of The Very Popular Snow Patrol Song, Here Is The Official Video.

At risk of losing what credibility I had, I have liked this song ever since I first heard Leona cover it on the "Live Lounge" (BBC Radio 1). I ripped it from the radio show & posted it on my Blog & people went crazy for it, it is also the most popular Live Lounge request ever.

Leona Lewis - Run

The video, is the usually over dramatic dandruff, all filler, no killer, or creativity, or meaning. But still, I stand by my point, well written song, masterfully executed & performed by a genuine talent. I hope Leona continues to Run with this one (sorry for the incredible pun).

"Common feat. Pharrell - Gladiator"

Common Releases His New Single Gladiator Featuring Pharrell, Off Of His Upcoming Album Universal Mind Control

Common is easily in the category of underrated rappers even though he always seems to have the best flows over the best beats. I don't really like Pharrell, but I think Pharrell did a really good job with this song.

My favorite part of the song is the beat. The contrast between the slow hook that Pharrell sings and the fast, up-tempo beat that Common raps over is sick. It takes a few times to listen to in order to get all the lines and punches that Common makes because he is that complex and gifted of a lyricist. Gladiator is a really good sign of how good Universal Mind Control can be.

"Keri Hilson - Turnin Me On" (Video)

Keri Hilson Has Really Burst On To The Music Scene Over The Past Few Months, And Keeps Her Success Going With Her New Video For Her Song, Turnin Me On, Featuring Lil' Wayne Off Her Debut Album In A Perfect World...

I really like Keri Hilson a lot. Sometimes she can blend in to the same type of musician as other ladies like her, but I think she does bring a lot to the table that makes her stand out from them. The song Turnin Me On was a hit in my opinion, so I was eager to see what the video was like.

Keri Hilson - Turnin Me On

The first thing I noticed about the video was how similar it was to the video for Destiny Child's old song Soldier, but I quickly got over that. Keri Hilson can really sing, but she also is gorgeous, which is a plus. The video isn't too extravagant or flashy, but it fits well with the song and isn't bad. It is a good video to go along with a pretty good song.

"Rihanna - Rehab" (Video)

Here Is The Brand New Video From The Poptastic Rihanna; Rehab Will Be Around Her Millionth Single From The Serially Over Worked Good Girl Gone Bad.

Firstly, I refuse to put Justin Timberlake's name to this single, the fact that he mimes over the "Gimme That" lyric of Timbaland does not make him a feature artist. Secondly, can no one else hear the 2007 Timbo beat thay has been dug out of the pile of stuff Timberlake didn't want?

Rihanna - Rehab

The video for Rehab is full of meaningless flamingos & strange moody faces that look like a D&G billboard, why the desert concept was put to waste I don't know, I could have done better with my eyes closed. However, after all this 'hateration'... I do like the song, Rihanna does have minimal talent & buckets of style, so more power to her I guess.
