Trina feat. Lady Gaga – Let Dem Hoes Fight LISTEN
I just thought the title was crazy…the song ain’t really wassup though. Good to see that Trina coming out with another CD soon, supposedly June 8th…but good luck with that!
Trina feat. Keri Hilson and Diddy – Million Dollar Girl LISTEN
I’m not too much of a Trina fan but this track caught me ’cause my girl Keri is on it. This is the first single from Trina’s upcoming Amazin’ CD.
Usher – Foolin Around LISTEN and There Goes My Baby LISTEN
Both of these tracks are kinda slow and mellow with Foolin’ Around being produced by B. Cox and Jermaine Dupri and the latter tracks displays Usher’s range a little more…but neither are a favorite of the tracks that have leaked from his project to date.
Brandy -Between Me and You LISTEN and Romeo and Juliet LISTEN
Brandy’s sure be making a comeback soon…she’s been leaking tracks left and right and featured on songs with Timbaland and Snoop. I’m really liking these two tracks which were produced by Stargate.
Trey Songz feat. Usher and Keri Hilson – I Invented Sex (RMX) LISTEN
Sounds like a HIT to me…LOL! Usher and Keri help Trey re-invent sex on this remix which is fire! He’ll be releasing, Up Close & Ready, an EP containing live renditions of his greatest hits, exclusively to iTunes tomorrow.
Usher – Stay Down LISTEN
Usher is baaackkk!! The latest songs that have leaked have all been dope with this song being no exception. It’s a track from his latest project, Raymond vs. Raymond, that was produced by Danja and co-written by Pooh Bear and the newly Grammy-nominated Kevin Cossom (“Knock You Down”).
Snoop Dogg feat. Brandy and Pharrell – Special LISTEN
Snoop is coming back hard with his latest release, Malice N Wonderland. I think him and Pharrell can do no wrong working together…and then to add Brandy to the track…man listen!!! This song is so smooth and cool it’s ridiculous.
Timbaland feat. Bran-Nu aka Brandy – Meet In Da Middle LISTEN
Brandy makes her rapping debut on this track with Timbaland…she may just have a future in Hip-Hop. I like her delivery and her tone, I really think she’s on to something. This track will be on Timbaland’s upcoming release, Shock Value 2, so look out for Bran-Nu!!! LOL
Chris Brown feat. Ester Dean – I Love You LISTEN
This is not the first time Chris and Ester have worked together. Her first single, Drop It Low, featured him on it. I believe she wrote this song and Polow Da Don produced the track. It’s very simple and I like the arrangement of it. This track is not on his official tracklisting so here it is for your listening pleasure.
Here’s the full video for Empire State of Mind from Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. The black and white ode to the Big Apple was directed by Hype Williams.
Sidebar: Jay-Z has been getting alot of flack as of late concerning his religious beliefs…a couple bars in this song portrays Jay’s view on Jesus and the church. Though he’s really never been overtly anti-religious, what he says can be taken as just that. I understand what he’s saying, as far as him conveying a story of a young woman in New York, but I believe what he said was taken out of context though.
Here’s what he said in the rhyme:
Caught up in the in-crowd, now you’re in style
End of the winter gets cold, en vogue, with your skin out
City of sin, it’s a pity on the wind
Good girls gone bad, the city’s filled with them
Mami took a bus trip, now she got her bust out
Everybody ride her, just like a bus route
Hail Mary to the city, you’re a virgin
And Jesus can’t save you, life starts when the church end
With that one line alone, of course, people are gonna say that you’re on some other ish. Alot of people want to hate on Jay and say that he doesn’t believe in God…but those are the same people who are taking his lyrics out of context just to put him on blast.
We The Best is back with another collab from the usual suspects and Usher and Drake. This will be DJ Khaled’s first single from his fourth studio album, Victory, due in early 2010. It’s really not what I expected it to be but you really can’t go wrong with a Drake verse and Ursher hook.
Ms. Keri releases an electro-dance record from the soundtrack to the German film Zweiohrküken, in theaters this December. I really like the music that Keri puts out…it’s always so new and refreshing to hear what she does. Listen to the track here.
