R&B / Soul: Cee-Lo – ‘Bridges’ (prod. by The Neptunes)
June 19, 2011
This joint right here was supposed to be on the Lady Killer album that Cee-Lo dropped, but they decided to put it on his upcoming EP entitled ‘It’s Ok’…….I played this song about 5 times in a row once I heard it but I decided to post it on Father’s Day…Great song! Happy Father’s Day!

The Weeknd – The Birds Part 1
June 19, 2011
I’ve been checking for this cat from Toronto since he dropped that impressive ‘House Of Balloons’ mixtape. This is one of the first leaks from his upcoming project entitled Thursday. This particular joint doesn’t hit me as much as ‘The Morning’ or the ‘What You Need’ songs, but we’ll see once he drops the whole mixtape. On a side note I’m wondering if we’re beginning to see a new trend with R&B artists using “The” in front of their names like ‘The-Dream’ etc etc…..Most rappers use “Lil’, “Young”, so I hope “The” doesn’t become a trend on the R&B front.

R&B / Soul: Terri Walker – ‘Terri In Wonderland’ (Mixtape)
June 15, 2011
I can’t front & say that I’ve always been familiar with London born soul singer Terri Walker, but I do recall her working with Mos Def when she had an album released on Def Jam’s former Def Soul imprint. Terri has also worked with ill producer Ski Beatz in the past including putting her touch on his Camp Lo classic ‘Luchini’ production for her song ‘This Is My Time’.  Terri Walker continues to work that Ski Beatz magic by dropping this new mixtape ‘Terri In Wonderland.’ The mixtape doesn’t feature any hip hop artists with the exception of D.C’s. Tabi Bonney, but don’t get it twisted into thinking that this particular project is just another R&B singer wailing over hip hop beats. This ‘Terri In Wonderland’ goes in a variety directions which showcases Terri Walker’s influences in soul & true school hip hop but it also reflects her time growing up in the UK & Germany whose audiences musical palettes tend to span over a myriad of other genres. I can do without some of the unnecessary cursing on a track or two, but there are a few joints on here I liked. I’ve included a few joints for you to listen to below, but you can check out the full artwork, tracklisting, & download link of the entire mixtape after the jump…..

R&B / Soul: Jamiroquai – ‘Smile’
June 13, 2011
This is just what I needed today….for real for real…..Jamiroquai let loose this soulful joint that’s as beautiful as a summer day. To name it ‘Smile’ is all the more appropriate because I literally let out a slight smile when listening to this gem right here. This is a new free joint that Jay Kay & the band let loose following their Rock Dust Light Star album that dropped last year….
Marsha Ambrosius – ‘Late Nights & Early Mornings’ (Video)
June 13, 2011
Marsha Ambrosius draws from Prince for inspiration in the title track from her album ‘Late Nights & Early Mornings’, but she may have been influenced by the large number of people making bad choices when it comes to sex that could cost them their life for the actual video. Good song, great message. It’s gonna be a hot summer…..STAY STRAPPED!
New R&B: The-Dream – ‘Body Work / F*ck My Brains Out’
June 8, 2011
The-Dream lets loose this track in anticipation for his upcoming album The Love IV (Diary Of A Madman). My initial reaction led me to believe that Terius Nash is drawing from Jodeci & Prince influences for inspiration. I dig how ‘Body Work’ transitions into the ‘F&ck My Brains Out’ portion of the song with an with an influence that’s sonically Prince in the overall vibe & production style. Â I could do without all the extra profanity in R&B these days, but at least with The-Dream it doesn’t sound TOO forced for shock value. Well then again…. maybe I’m wrong but you probably don’t care anyway….
THE-DREAM Â – Â BODY WORK / F*CK MY BRAINS OUT

CJ Hilton – ‘It Doesn’t Feel Right’ feat. 50 Cent
June 7, 2011
This new R&B cat CJ Hilton is 2 for 2 with the R&B/hip hop bangers…..the first joint he dropped a few months ago with Nas called ‘So Fresh’ was an undeniable banger & now he drops this new one with 50 Cent with the Wu-Tang Clan’s Tearz sample in the mix. Niiiiiiice!
Kryon Leslie – ‘Reverse’ (Video)
June 6, 2011
I’ve seen this particular video before but this blog wasn’t in existence around the time it was actually released for us to post it. This is the debut single from Atlanta R&B/soul artist Kryon Leslie that’s now available on itunes.
Rochelle Jordan – ‘Take Time’ (prod by Klash)
June 5, 2011
This is the second banger that I’m feeling from this Toronto vocalist….She’s been on my radar & if she keeps hitting the people with quality joints like these more people will be checking for her in no time. She’s another one of these relatively new faces in R&B who’s sound bends a little more alternative than what’s constantly on the radio all day everyday. Apparently she’s set to drop her third EP in July called ‘In Search Of….Radio’ inspired by N.E.R.D. & Radiohead. Back in May she dropped the first leak to that project with a song called ‘How To Feel’ that I thought sounded pretty good too. I don’t think we got around to posting it at the time so we included it in this post too….

The Weeknd – ‘The Morning’ (Video)
June 5, 2011
This my favorite song from this budding new artist The Weeknd’s free album ‘House Of Ballons’ & apparently I’m not the only one that feels this way as another fan made video has hit the internet. It’s usually a good indication if people are feeling your music when the fans make videos themselves before you even drop your own vision for your songs.
Apollonia 6 – ‘Sex Shooter’ (Video)
June 5, 2011
Apollonia was bad back in her day….She was probably more beautiful than she was talented in my opinion. Prince always kept some bad chicks around though. In the immortal words of Morris Day in the movie ‘Purple Rain’…..”Let’s have some action! Let’s have some asses wigglin’….I want some perfection!!”

R&B Remix: Miguel feat. Pusha T – ‘Sure Thing’ Remix
May 26, 2011
I’ve been feeling this joint from Miguel’s album & now that it’s an official single getting significant airplay it was only time before a skilled emcee would hop on it. This is an appropriate remix featuring Pusha T without any changes in the instrumentation changing the vibe of the song.

Frank Ocean – ‘Acura Integurl’ (Video)
May 24, 2011
I’m still bangin Frank Ocean’s Nostalgia, Ultra album……This song ‘Acura Integurl’ doesn’t appear on Nostalgia, Ultra, but that’s not stopping so many people from catching on to Frank Ocean’s talent. Even Def Jam Records was caught behind the curve so much so that they are going to release the album commercially after it was already out there for free. If you’re late you better download it while you can below….
