Leaks, leaks, leaks! Another Blueprint 3 track surfaces, this one, like “Off That” is also produced by Timbaland…

Jay-Z – “Reminded”

That beat? Those violins? What? Yup. I like it a lot! I know for a fact, just like “Off That” people will be hating on this too. And that’s cool, we’re all more than entitled to an opinion and no, I don’t expect you to love it just coz’ it’s Jay. BUT I will say – the minute folk stop expecting him to recreate Reaonsble Doubt etc will be the exact minute ya’ll will start enjoying these new releases.

Nas will never top Illmatic, Michael Jackson could never top Thrillier. These are simple facts.

Peace, Love & Jay-Z

Whitney+Houston+I+Look+to+You+Pic

Someone best call the plumbers coz Whitney’s new album is springing leaks has leaked all over the place! Here goes two new joints off I Look To You

Whitney Houston – “Worth It” // “For The Lovers”

I’m really lovin’ both these tracks! Don’t get me wrong, I’m under no illusion – the fact is, I love these track more than I would if anyone else sang them, simply because it’s Whitney. I am in no way saying that this is her best work to date, but I’m enjoying them nonetheless.

I really do want to see her comeback be a success, it’s long over due. Not to mention, we need someone who was massive in the 90′s to comeback hard. Lord knows I’ve given up on Mariah. Anyways – I Look To You is on it’s way – you  think it’s gonna be a hit?

Peace, Love & Whitney

P.s It is a bit strange that both songs kinda carry the same lyrics lol

It’s another Blueprint 3 cut. Timbo on the beats, Drake on the hook, Jay – all over.

Jay-Z Feat Drake – “Off That”

Whooo!!!!!!!! Yesssir! I’m feelin’ this in a big way. It’s not classic Hova – nope, but I like it still. I ain’t expecting Jay to do the same thing he did on previous (classic) albums, that’d be boring and stagnant. I’m expecting these unexpected type tracks. Love Drake’s hook and Timbo’s beat.

I don’t know why folks be worried about what Hov is gonna bring on this LP. I ain’t stressed. Even at his worse, Jay-Z is still better than 90% of all rappers out there. Standard.

Peace, Love & Jay-Z

Estelle, John Legend & Luda…

Estelle Feat John Legend & Ludacris – “All Night Long”

Erm, not really feelin’ this one. Actually, I think it’s really quite shit. But, I’m happy Estelle is rapping again – that’s a good thing. But yea, not on this one bit.

Peace, Love & All Night Long

Persona-729821

Whooo! Brand new music from Queen Latifah off her upcoming Persona album.

The first track sees the collaboration of two of my favourite females in music. Latifah and Marsha Ambrosius come together on a Cool & Dre produced track called “Take Me (With You)”. After that we got “If He Wanna” featuring reggae artist Serani and finally a Busta, Shawn and Dre collabo in the form of “Hard to Love Ya”…

Queen Latifah – “Take Me (With You)” (Feat Marsha Ambrosius) // “If He Wanna” (Feat Serani) // “Hard To Love Ya” (Feat Busta Rhymes, Shawn Stockman & Dre)

Queen Latifah is dope, I do wish she would return to straight up rapping, but her voice is dope still. I’m feelin’ all these tracks actually. My favourite is “Take Me (With You)”, but I’m sure you know that already haha! But they’re all pretty cool. “Hard To Love Ya” is also real nice.

jazmine_sullivan_5751

I’ve never heard this track before, I believe some of you (US folk) may have heard it during her Cotton commercial, either way – here goes the full version…

Jazmine Sullivan – “Fabric Of My Life”

Jazmine could sing the phone book and I’d be pretty happy lol. Love the tone in her voice. This joint is nice. Nothing too tough and a blatant advertisement, but nice nonetheless.

Peace, Love & Jazmine Sullivan

Looking and sounding better than she has for a very, very, very long time, Amy Winehouse returned to the stage at this years’ V Festival joining The Specials on stage. It would have been incredible to hear her sing one of her own tracks, but her appearance is most certainly making me think more positively about her ‘comeback’. Still a way to go, but very cool indeed.

Peace, Love & Amy Winehouse

I’ve just discovered this dude. Found his video in my inbox, pressed played and really liked what I was heard…

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xrn5UN1UegA&feature=player_embedded]

Erik is a Swedish singer/songwriter, who after having success in his native and other parts of Europe, signed a deal with Island Records UK. “Don’t Bring Flowers” is his first single over here.

I love that 80′s sound mayne, sucker for it. This track, while kinda morbid, sounds dope! Feelin’ this – something a lil’ different for you Saturday!

..’Member where you heard this guy first!

Peace, Love & Erik Hassle

Former 3LW member Adrienne Bailon comes with “Superbad” as her first official solo track…

Adrienne Bailon – “Superbad”

Hmmm…! I dunno what to make of this one. I can kinda hear Britney singing this track right hurr. I don’t hate it, infact, I’m currently on my second listen and I think with each new listen I’ll like it a lil’ more. It’s auto-tuned up, it’s mostly pop, fun and kinda catchy. I definitely prefer her previous leak featuring Jay-Z (download below), but yea – this I’m liking a little.

Dunno where this track comes from, whether it’s new or previously unreleased, either way I haven’t heard it before…

Chris Brown – “Hollow”

I quite like this ballad, dunno why because there’s nothing that spectacular about it. What you sayin?

Peace, Love & Chris Brown
