FULL, CDQ, Track off upcoming album, First Love, in stores 08.19! *Tibs Fav.™
I’m lovin’ everything I’m hearing from R&B new-comer Karina Pasian, and this track is different than the previous ones we’ve posted off her debut album, First Love, in stores this coming Tuesday! “90s Baby” is sure 2 be a radio hit - it’s got the uptempo beat and the equally catchy hook, but there’s somethin’ about Karina that I can already see separates her. While this song isn’t as lyrically deep as her other songs, it is a nice track that exposes a lil’ bit more about who Karina Pasian is, a good idea for what looks 2 be the first track off her album! Below, there’s some more R&B featuring some big names like Brandy, Trey Songz, & Bobby Valentino, as well as some solid hip hop cuts - namely a CDQ version of an old T.I. mixtape track, a nice Talib Kweli feature, & a solid, passionate banger from Cassidy & Cory Gunz! Finally, peep the latest video premiere from Musiq SoulChild! Enjoy!
More from the vault as another Prolyfic-produced Lupe track hits the web above with “U Don’t Know”. Truthfully, this is nothing more than a solid track OVERALL since I’m really not feelin’ the beat and the guy screaming on the chorus, but Lupe brings it as usual and it’s worth the DL 2 hear his rhymes alone. The track I’m really feelin’ 2day is by another Chicago cat - Yung Berg - as he comes thru with a song that I feel could be a hit. It’s produced by Boogz (shouts for a few of the trax) & DJ Chase and features the lovely Amerie on the hook. While Amerie carries the song with her strong vocals, YB also follows thru with the sick, twisted Chicago flow, that I feel he lacks sometimes in other trax. I hope this song blows up (CDQ version also.. poor versions are elsewhere) and it’s definitely one worth DLing. There’s plenty more trax below with Ne-Yo’s “It’s You” deserving some words. It’s over the wonderful Usher “Will Work For Love” beat (the hidden track on Here I Stand) and while Usher’s version is better and illustrates the difference in their voices, Ne-Yo’s is still a quality one, with the lyrics standing out above all. Don’t forget 2 peep the videos as well with some interesting ones f/ Ludacris, & Jay Electronica! Enjoy!
Producer: Polow Da Don - FULL, CDQ, Track off upcoming album, Lessons In Love *Tibs Fav.™
R&B singer Lloyd is prepping for his 3rd album, Lessons In Love, and this is the last batch of trax that we are sharing here at GWHH before the album hits stores on August 5th! And they are 2 of the better ones, especially the J. Lack produced “I’m Wit It”. If you recall, Lloyd and J. Lack first linked up for the huge hit “Get It Shawty” that was a summer anthem last year and this track is sure to be bumpin’ in the stereos well into the twilight of this summer. It’s not quite the banger as “Get It Shawty” but it’s surely a track that I’m feelin’ and the new-age R&B fans will enjoy as well. Down below peep some more hip hop featuring Rhymefest, an old (unreleased) Nas track, a Lil’ Wayne feature, and especially take the time to watch and respect the genius that is R&B singer/songwriter/producer Ryan Leslie as he gives viewers a special behind the scenes look at the making of his single “Addiction”. R. Les is just goin’ crazy on the boards and on the mic and it’s really neat 2 see his passion translating into the music. As a bonus video as well, check out a rare interview from 1994 back when Ryan Leslie was in high school (and bout 2 enter Harvard, where he graduated at age 19!?!) … I think me and him had the same glasses, haha! Anyway, that’s def an interesting view and for more Ryan Leslie on YouTube, subscribe 2 his official channel with many more behind the scenes looks HERE! 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!
FULL, CDQ, Rumored track off upcoming album, Walk With Me Now, Fly With Me Later*Tibs Fav.™
Here’s 2day’s NEW music update with the feature track bein’ from one of my all-time favorites - DMX! It is a sincere, focused collaboration with the British singer, Seal, and it’s a hot one! I really like the DMX (and all rappers actually) when they really use their lyrics 2 focus on something meaningful, and this track is shades of that old DMX. Def a MUST-HAVE for the hip hop fans out there. Below, there’s some more quality trax that cover a variety of taste, as I’m really feelin the 2nd part of Joe Budden’s “Who”, which is nearly 6 minutes long of Budden straight up rapping on some throught-provoking issues of hip hop a la Pt. 1! Can’t wait for Pt. 3 of this lil’ series of trax. If ur a big Trey Songz fan like me, you’ll be satisfied with his 2 latest features, altho I’m not really feelin’ the entire trax as a whole.. and the 2 R&B trax at the bottom by Joe (shouts 2 Urban Music) and featuring Colby O’Donis are pretty solid as well. Finally, the video premiere for Nas’ latest single “Sly Fox” is out and u can view it at the bottom! Enjoy!
R&B fans rejoice! My boy, DJ B-Bop just came thru with his latest mixtape, spotlighting the best of the underground R&B crooners on the come-up, mixed with some established stars like Ryan Leslie, Craig David, The Dream, Taio Cruz, & MORE - all blended beautifully 2gether for ur listening pleasure! I’ma bump this a lot for sure and get my ears familiar with some of these virtual unknown R&B singers, and u should 2 cuz maybe you’ll find someone new that u like! I got thru it once already and its got my overwhelming approval; any R&B fan would enjoy this so DL it below! Just in time for ur finals and the beginning of a HOT summer!! Special thanks 2 the fella DJ B-Bop for the love! Enjoy!
Here’s a quick update for your early Friday (for me it’s early, haha!) The latest from One Chance is up above and another hot track from the boys from the Go. If you’re wondering about when One Chance will release an album after all these tracks have dropped, well, I heard in an interview that they’re looking for a fall release, but as always with album releases, expect that 2 be pushed back even more. Haha, so we’ll have 2 just keep waiting. U can also check out a nice StarGate produced track below by LaShawn Daniels and a few videos - a cool promo video for Lupe Fiasco and part 2 of his interview with Sway, an inside look at Kanye West, and a video premiere by the French electronic artist Justice, who is scheduled to RMX Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool! Hopefully I’ll be back later in the day… Enjoy!
Another Kanye West listening experience video! He’s been releasing them every so often now and here’s another one to “Barry Bonds”! Below is a funny video of Lupe Fiasco & Chris Brown freestyling and some more of the day’s NEW music! Not 2 much time 2 chat, got some work 2 do, haha. Enjoy!
A lot of R&B for ya 2day with the feature track from my boy Trey Songz! I finally found out what his chest tattoo says, peep it below.. it’s pretty deep.
“To God I pray may April’s showers rain down on her Forrest and grow the strength that started with one Rose”
April = Mom
Forrest = Brother
Rose = Grandma
Yeah, I love that. The rest of the trax can be found below - NEW music from Day26 (no space now, haha), Danity Kane, Lloyd, Lil’ Wayne (I’m not a big fan, but I kno a ton of u are, so his first single can be found below.), and MORE! I’m really feelin’ that Johnta Austin track - that’s a must-DL! Enjoy!
Kind of a slow day for some real good new tunes, but I am really feelin’ the FULL version of “I’m Ya Man” by up and comer Francisco (R&B)! In addition 2 the Francisco track, check out the latest from fellow up and comers Jay Sean, Ray Lavender (f/ Akon), and a hip hop track for ya from Cleveland’s Chip Tha Ripper! Finally, peep the behind the scenes look at the video for “MyBoyBlu” - the creative song by Blu of Blu and Exile! Enjoy!
as they posted a jersey I submitted and did us a great favor in linking us this way, so I only feel I should do the same, in addition 2 tellin ya about the site. People take pictures of random sports jerseys they see of old, bad, retired players and they post them along with some funny commentary. The site is so popular they earned a feature on Espn.com’s Page 2! So check them out above, and thanks again!
One FINAL thing, check out the Last Call with Carson Daly 2nite… not for him of course, but for Lupe Fiasco AND Nikki Jean as they will be performing “Hip-Hop Saved My Life”! And I think Lu might be doin’ “Paris, Tokyo” as well. Stay up late and tune in - 1:35 ET, 12:35 CT (after Conan!)
