The Army & Navy Used Kanye West & Justin Timberlake As Inspiration For Their Annual Football Rivalry (Video)
December 17, 2013
Artist Tosa Brooks snapping over an instrumental reproduction (by Crsxh) of Kanye West’s “Blood on the Leaves” to amp the West Point footballers (aka Army) for one game and one goal…
“Beat Navy!”
Too bad hype videos don’t win games, as the Navy Midshipmen (of the United States Naval Academy) rolled 34-7 over the Army Black Knights for the 12th year in the row. Nice job though, Tosa. Maybe next year, Army.
So, how many of y’all wonder if Navy did a video. Heh heh, check after the jump. It’s al-riiighht. Hahahaaa!

R&B: Ab x 14KT – “Saturn Return” (LP)
November 16, 2013
It’s out. Following the link below takes you to “Saturn Return” – a collaborative effort by singer Ab and producer 14KT… but it’s much more than that.
“Saturn Return” is more than an album… It’s a story that was developed by two friends, while they were individually working their way through one of the most grueling transition periods of their lives. This period left them both questioning their purpose in life, what they wanted for themselves, what made them happy, as well as who they were.
Their conversations and the continual support of each other led soul singer Aaron “Ab†Abernathy and beat-smith 14KT to co-produce a progressive soul album focused on a love story between characters Ab and Lalah. However, it is an experience that anyone can relate to.

R&B/Soul: DJ Rahdu – “Follow Me: D’angelo Flips, Remixes And Tributes” (Mixtape)
October 28, 2013
BamaLoveSoul and DJ Rahdu doing the love… keeping the flame of hope alive with this “Follow Me” flip mix while we wait on the next D’Angelo work of art. Now, this is just the 11-minute sampler. They have a full mix on the way. They cannot “can’t imagine him releasing a bomb” – which is a sentiment many share. This is how you hold your fav artist down while they are out of the spotlight.
“Enjoy Follow Me, our tribute to the fans that have been inspired by and hopefully inspire D’angelo and encourage him to release the next album we’ll be enjoying even 18 years later.”

Ne-Yo – “Luxurious” feat. Future (Prod. By Jesse ‘Corporal’ Wilson)
October 23, 2013
This joint stops just short of R&B. It’s good. Just listen to it with that ear, okay? “Luxurious” (produced by Jesse ‘Corporal’ Wilson) pairs an industry vet and a relative rookie by comparison – Ne-Yo and Future – both guaranteed hit makers. Smooth with the roughness. Definitely sexy content, but more lovey without too much dovey. Check it out.
