Another quick update for ya, w/ the feature track of the post featuring the lovely Keri Hilson taking the place of Cassie on “Addiction”! I just straight up love the R-Les track; his vocals and production are all on point and his running mate, Fabolous kills it as well. Keri & Cassie both sound great with the addictive chorus and I think I actually like Keri’s version slightly better. So if you’re all up on “Addiction” like I am, you’ll def check out the new version. Down below, some more trax f/ GLC & Bobby Valentino as well as a couple requests and the latest video premiere from Usher! I love the special effects on the piano and the sexy ladies provide for a really steamy video. Still not that high on the actual song, but the video is another nice one for Usher. Enjoy!
Wow, def wanted 2 come thru w/ an update sooner, but this is truly a yawnfest of a large update for ya honestly. Songz comes thru w/ yet another cover - this time of Jazmine Sullivan. Hey, I’m not complaining, he actually does the covers/RMXs of all these hit songs very well. This one is another solid example. Below, ehhhhhh on most of those trax as u can see from the Tibs Favs. I’m just goin’ 2 throw on “Swagga Like Us” & Year Of The Gentleman and be back later. Enjoy!
Producer: Jim Beanz - FULL, CDQ, Track from the upcoming, self-titled album*Tibs Fav.™
Brand NEW Jennifer Hudson from her upcoming, debut album on a hip hop inspired beat, where she still sounds great, but the story of the track is Luda killin’ it on the 3rd verse. The first few bars from Luda were clever enough 2 warrant a chuckle on 1st listen and he maintains the dope wordplay throughout. Below is a very solid hip hop track that could grow on me by Scarface, Weezy, & Bun B. Big fans of them will surely like it. And I can’t forget a nice R&B jam by Charlie Wilson and T-Pain and part 2 of the Immortal Technique interview from yesterday. Out for a Quiznos $2.99 Meatball… needless 2 say, I’m pumped! Back after.. Enjoy!
Quick morning update for ya w/ Trey Songz comin’ thru w/ yet another solid track, that would especially hit the right chord if I can relate 2 the lyrics, haha. Just cuz I can’t, doesn’t mean they aren’t good ones and I’m sure there are fellas out there who can relate. Either way, it’s a nice track 2 just vibe 2. Below, there’s nothin’ I’m really feelin’, but the masses will be sure 2 eat up Bow Wow on the “Can’t Believe It RMX” and the Kardinal Offishall / Rihanna collabo. Take a look below @ those and a couple videos as well. Enjoy!
The hip hop heads should already be familiar with the ATL’s Stat Quo, who was a rapper I first heard a few yrs ago and liked everything he was droppin. He is still with Shady/Aftermath from what I heard, but his debut album, Statlanta, has been constantly delayed and while it has apparently been completed for awhile, the label has yet 2 release it. The song above is Stat telling that story, along with other stories about his journey in the industry, Proof’s death, & more! Some pretty heartfelt lyrics attracted me right away on the 1st listen and reminded me why I liked Stat Quo in the first place. So if ur a big hip hop head, def give Stat a chance and DL 2day’s feature track above! Below, plenty more hip hop and R&B.. some thoughts on the trax below… Twista kills “The Business RMX”, Songz kills the hook on “Love For Money”, & I’m tryin’ 2 love Chris Brown’s “Captive”, but its slightly disturbing me that the song is in fact written in a girl’s perspective (a demo for the Pussycat Dolls… I can see Nicole S. on that Polow beat makin’ the radio for sure…). There’s also a couple videos featuring more from hip hop with Kidz In The Hall & Skillz! Enjoy!
Jazmine Sullivan is an R&B singer and a RMX f/ mega stars T.I. & Missy Elliott has surfaced for her song “Need You Bad”. I’m not big on Missy at all, but this song is a nice one that touches a chord w/ me with Jazmine’s nice voice and T.I.’s slow flow, yet solid lyrics (and slow flow can be good as u should kno..) More R&B that deals w/ boys & girls can be found below, including a nice lil’ slow jam from Ne-Yo, a solid new-age R&B track by Mario Winans and of course, some hip hop w/ Naledge showin’ his intelligence in a freestyle. Of course there’s more trax below that u may like, along w/ some video interviews w/ Lil’ Wayne, LL Cool J, a Snoop Dogg featured video, and behind the scenes w/ Donnie Klang & Diddy (u kno.. if MTB is not enough of an inside look into their lives, haha!) Enjoy!
FULL, CDQ, Track off upcoming album, First Love*Tibs Fav.™
Large update, starting with another nice track from up and comer R&B singer Karina Pasian! It’s a slow jam that should be on her upcoming album of the same name, in stores August 19th! More trax below feature a pretty sick beat by The Underdogs, a nice Chris Brown feature, & Mikkey Halsted ripping thru one of my all-time favorite beats (Mobb Deep - “Shook Ones Pt. 2″). Finally, a ton of videos for u 2 look at, including behind the scenes looks at music videos from CRS, Lupe Fiasco, & T.I., and a bunch of Rock The Bells interviews with all the various artists on the bill. Enjoy!
Wow, here’s a boatload of R&B for ya ears featuring a ton of big names like Usher (above), Trey Songz, Mario, Akon & up and comers like Colby O’Donis, Sterling Simms, One Chance, & many MORE! We also got some J. Dilla produced hip hop and a Lil’ Wayne feature along with a video about DMX’s latest arrest. Damn, what’s goin on w/ the Dark Man X? He has more arrests lately than tracks and I hope he gets his head straight soon for his family’s sake, not only his career. Just crazy. Anyway, just peep everything and DL what u want! Enjoy!
Here’s a quick early update for u dedicated GWHH fans featuring R&B by the classy Ryan Leslie above. Put him on a piano and let him sing from the heart about his mother and u get a nice slow jam that u can DL above! I also like the Charlie Wilson (frequent Snoop Dogg collaborator) track below and a couple solid trax from Robert (Of Day26). 2 follow up on yesterday’s hit “Everyone Nose RMX” by N.E.R.D., Ye, Lu, and Pusha T… check out the video at the bottom for a behind the scenes look in the studio of the making of the RMX! Enjoy!
