Mariah Carey feat. Joe & Nas - Thank God I Found You

The weather's good, it's a bank holiday and this is the nicest summery song I could think of. Just wishing I didn't have work to do :-( Enjoy monday peeps :D

Big Boi feat. Mary J. Blige - Sumthin's Gotta Give

I still dunno how this wasn't a hit.

Back when 'Obamamania' was still running strong (can you believe his first 100 days have already passed) these two teamed up to drop a critical yet inspirational rhyme bout folk strugging in the states. And they're still taking this message across the country.

Everytime I hear joints like this I wonder if Big Boi will ever get the same hype as Andre 3000. His new album's called Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty. And no I am not making that up :D Should hopefully drop later on in the year. Enjoy folks.

Drake feat. Dwele & Little Brother - Don't You Have A Man

Now before anyone starts. I know this is old but it just doesn't get anymore soulful than this.



This Drake guy's actually pretty interesting. He shot to fame on Canadian teen drama Degrassi: The Next Generation. His character got shot and ended up in a wheelchair.



Pretty heavy stuff :-S

He's released two mixtape albums 'Comeback Season' & 'So Far Gone'. He has an official album called 'Thank Me Later' which is due out at the end of the year

See, now this is why I'm so disappointed that DJB's Soulful R&B 1Xtra show ended this Sunday. How else will I get to hear joints like this?


(Thanks to Hip Hop Lead and 5 Star Hip Hop for the mixtapes)

Live! (Jamie Foxx - Unpredictable)

"Cause the real deal's always better"


Back in 2006, Jamie Foxx was still riding high off the success of
'Ray' when he released 'Unpredictable'. As part of the promotion for it, Jamie peformed a selection of songs from the album on AOL Music sessions. This is how we ended up with the pretty fly version of the title track.



It's a shame he's not doing stuff like this anymore. To be honest I haven't really listened to 'Intuition'. Really ought to do a review of it at some point.

Live! (Justin Timberlake - My Love)

"Cause the real deal's always better"


Thought I'd put this up. JT (as he's commonly known) performed this on "Saturday Night Live" back in 2006. This was the same show that "Dick In A Box" first premiered. To be honest I've always liked this performance. It may not have TI's rap but you do get an ace guitar solo ;-)

Here's the link.

Metropolis - The Voyage

Hi peeps. It's pretty much been a year since I've been on my blog so I figure I'm well overdue a post :D

I was introduced to this band by a mate a week ago and I can't stop listening. 'The Voyage' came out in 2005 and was pretty well slept on but this is some damn good modern R&B for all you grown folk out there.

The standout tracks off the album are 'Kick It'

and 'Lovin You'.




The album's available from CD Baby.

Mary J. Blige - Just Fine

Finally back and I'm ready to start putting some good music. In the next couple of weeks I'm gonna post a couple of fly mix CD's up here and check out a couple of tracks from the Thriller 25 remix album.

For now, we'll start with the 2nd single from Mary J. Blige's new album, 'Growing Pains'. Been really digging this for a while. Can't wait to hear it in the clubs :D
