Rick Ross feat. Jay Z "Devil Is A Lie"

I may not be the biggest Rozay fan but I can admit hot shit when I hear it and this right here is hot shit! Whenever Jay and Rick connect they seem to mesh well. Now could a possible album by the two of them in the works? One can only wish and hope. In the meantime rock out to this track that will be on Rick's new album "Mastermind" in 2014.

2013 Bangers That Stood Out To Me!

What a year 2013 was for music!! The year where we saw Kanye continue to lose it, Beyonce drop an album with no promotion nor leaks, where we were  hit over the head with songs like Versace, Versace, Versace and other nonsensical nursery rhyme raps.

I'm hoping that 2014 will bring us back to a position where music is the star and not the thought that anyone can sing or rap is the star. There are some potential new leaders out there which leaves me optimistic. I thought I would hit you all off with a little something from the folks I started to feel in 2013. Let's see if they can maintain in 2014! Enjoy the music and the New Year!

Black Music Month - Heavy D

As we continue to roll through the month of June and celebrate "Black Music Month" let's shine the light on one of the greatest MC's to ever spit a hot bar. The late great Heavy D, who along with The Boyz consisting of DJ Eddie F, T-Roy & G-Wiz burst onto the scene as the first act signed to Uptown Records in 1987. They released five albums over their span. Unfortunately during their run T-Roy passed away in 1990 and the leader of the Boyz, Heavy D himself passed away in 2011 after performing at the 2011 BET Hip-Hop Awards. It was his first performance in over 15 years and it would also serve as his last. So let's celebrate with the late-great Heavy D!

New Jack Swing Friday

There was a moment in time for me when music just my everything. It still is but as a teenager I needed my New Jack Swing! It was a point in my life where I was going through my adolescent stage and listening to the bravado of Bobby Brown, the laced lyrics of Heavy D or the dope sounds of Guy! It was a great time for music and this seems like a good day to share that with you all. Happy New Jack Friday!

Searching for R&B! Lucy Pearl-Without You

I just had a thought on this Sunday and my thought was where is R&B? I know we have so-called 'R&B' out there but I want to know where is the real deal? Lucy Pearl albeit the original group only put one album out (thanks Dawn Robinson!) but it was one classic album. A strong vibe of soul that you can listen to from start to finish. So here is one of favs from that album. I hope you enjoy on this beautiful Sunday afternoon.
