Wow, I normally don’t do this, but I just got a hold of an exclusive new song by Alicia Keys! The song is called “No One” and is the first single off her new album As I Am, due out in November.
I’m a huge fan of Alicia Keys and I can’t believe it’s been two […]

Man, I cannot wait! In less than two weeks, Kanye West’s new album Graduation will be in stores! Lately I’ve been Diggin’ In The Crates, looking for samples that Kanye’s used in his songs. There are a ton! We all know Mr. West is the sample king; he relies on them heavily to create his […]

We got a little bit of everything being released today; from hip hop, R&B, to jazz. Out of everything that being released, there’s nothing that I’m really excited about listening to. We got new albums from rappers Yung Joc & N.O.R.E., Jazz releases from Kirk Whalum & Rick Braun, a comeback album from […]

For this week’s Producer’s Spotlight, I have decided to showcase the up and coming production team of Cool & Dre. Hailing from one of the hottest cities in the United States — Miami, Florida — Marcello Valenzano and Andre Lyon have been quietly making their presence felt amongst entertainment industry heavyweights for the past […]

Common’s latest album, Finding Forever, is the hottest CD in the country right now. With super-producer and sample-king Kanye West behind most of the cuts on this album, a lot of fans are wondering what songs were sampled to create the beats behind Common’s flow.
Diggin’ In The Crates is a new feature I’m trying […]

Yo, we got some dope albums droppin’ today! First and foremost — GO COP EAR DRUM! Talib Kweli’s new CD is HOT. I must say that it may, just may, be better than Common’s Finding Forever. I know that’s a bold statement, but this album is straight FIRE! Check out […]

Talib Kweli’s new album Ear Drum drops in stores this Tuesday and I must say it’s pretty hot. Ear Drum almost made it into my Top 12 Most Anticipated Albums of the Summer list, but got dropped at the last minute. Well, it definitely should have been on the list. I guess I forgot how […]

The following is reposted from nobodysmiling.com:
Bad news for Lupe Fiasco fans – the Chicago rapper confirmed that his sophomore album, “The Cool,” has been pushed back to November.
And the news gets worse: Lupe is swearing off of mixtapes and plans on releasing only two more LPs before bowing out of the music industry.
“I’m just wearing […]

Swizzy! Swizz Beatz, The Monster, finally drops his debut CD, One Man Band Man, this month. This is one album that I’ve been looking forward to since I heard the producer-extraordinaire was going solo. Highly anticipated, this CD has been pushed back so many times I about freaked when I actually got […]

With Swizz Beatz’s debut solo album, One Man Band Man, being release later this month, it wouldn’t be right if we didn’t dedicate a Producer’s Spotlight to him.
Swizzy has been blowing up all over the radio and clubs lately with his hits for Eve, T.I., Beyonce, and Busta Rhymes. This year he has decided to […]

Alright, forget about what you may have heard — the south has risen! For those of you that have been patiently waiting the release of UGK’s latest album, wait no more. Underground Kingz is in stores now and it is HOT. I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical with this being a […]

There are a few highly anticipated albums being released today. Unfortunately I can’t vouch neither am I too excited about any of them, with the exception of the new UGK double-CD. I’m definitely looking forward to hearing that, so hopefully I’ll have a review out by week’s end.
In other releases, we have the debut […]

There seems to be a plethora of music coming from the south lately. Some might call it a takeover. I’ll admit — I haven’t been too receptive to a lot of these southern rappers. I’m east coast myself. Anything coming out of NY or my hometown VA is good in my […]
