President Barack Obama Sings ‘Sweet Home Chicago’ During Blues Night at The White House (Video)
February 22, 2012
You can see it in President Obama’s facial expression that when he gets the urge to sing in public he just wants to let loose but restrains himself. First doing it up with Al Green at the Apollo & now singing “Sweet Home Chicago” with Blues legends like B.B. King at the White House….This is hilarious!

Jon B – “Only One” (Video)
February 19, 2012
Jon B used to be that dude with some quality R&B work & collaborations. His “Cool Relax” album still gets some burn from me from time to time because there were so many great joints such as the title track “Cool Relax” , “I Do”, “Bad Girl”, “Shine”, “Don’t Say”, “They Don’t Know”, & his collabo with Tupac “Are You Still Down?”. I didn’t even know he had a new album coming out independently until I saw someone tweet about this new video of his called “Only One”. The song appears on his new album “Comfortable Swag” that just dropped on Valentines Day in iTunes. Yeah I know what you’re thinking….I hate the use of “swag” in the title as well, but I definitely dig the song. I’m gonna have to give the new album a good listen…

Last Saturday night I interviewed Atlanta emcee Tez McClain on the show & one of the new female singer/songwriters based in Atlanta that we talked about was Nikkiya who also lent vocals to his latest “Wishful Thinking II” mixtape hosted by Don Cannon.

Adele Speaks On Life, Love, & Music on 60 Minutes (Video)
February 12, 2012
Adele deserves all the success she’s getting based on true talent & life music. Whenever any Adele song comes on the radio in the car my niece gives me a mini-concert. Adele is one of those artists that my nieces & I can all agree upon. Pure talent, great lyrics, & life music. I wish most artists would get the memo & quit with the gimmicks.
