Thx again 2 BOBO for sendin’ this track our way - a nice track that reminds me a lot of Plies “Bust It Baby Pt. 2″ f/ Ne-Yo. Haha. The parallels would be almost eerie if this track hit the top 10 on the Billboard charts. 2 me, Jadakiss is a mediocre rapper (like Plies) and grabs Ne-Yo for a hook and comes up w/ a radio-friendly love song. Jada actually rips pretty well on the verses and I like the lyrics in general, esp. Ne-Yo on the hook and the Eric Hudson beat. Below, a bunch of R&B, including 3 trax by my boy on the rise, Casely! He’s always got the hot, bangin’ club beats and his voice compliments them well. I like all 3 of the trax below and fans of the new age R&B will eat those up for sure. He’s really the only one who warrants mentioning… a solid track by One Chance and a pleasant hook by Trey Songz can be found down there as well. U know what 2 do. Enjoy!
So we got an interesting track sent over 2 us 2day, that if others got it, they prolly skipped over, but I was initially attracted because Brandon Lloyd (B. Lloyd) is a WR I’ve followed since his days at the University of Illinois and now he plays for my hometown Bears. Turns out B. Lloyd is an aspiring rapper, and he showcases some nice flow on his 1st single w/ respected R&B singer, Bobby Valentino on the hook! I always find tracks by athletes very interesting, doubling as a big sports fan, and while most of them are below average, I think I might be bumpin’ this B. Lloyd / Bobby Valentino track well into the near future! Check out more info on B. Lloyd and the track below and check him out on MySpace HERE:
It is not often that a person has the opportunity to have, and fulfill, 2 separate and distinct career dreams but Brandon Lloyd aka B. Lloyd (if ya nasty) may just be one of them. Now a Wide Receiver for the Chicago Bears, Brandon Lloyd, who knew he wanted to be in the NFL since kindergarten, was a 4th round draft pick to the San Francisco 49ers back in 2003 and also played for the Washington Redskins before finding his home in Chicago. Living out a career as a pro athlete might have been enough for most but Brandon’s musical alter ego, who fell in love with Hip Hop after hearing Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff’s Nightmare on My Street, also wanted to make music of his own.
A phone call to his agent by Still Hustlin’ Records owner and fellow artist and long-time friend, Renegade Foxxx gave B. Lloyd the label home, and the shot, he was looking for. With a first single that features the old school crooning of Bobby Valentino called “She All Mine” that is making all the right moves at radio (Corpus Christi, Lexington, Shreveport, Jackson, Baton Rouge, Gainsville, Tulsa, Biloxi, Augusta et al), it seems that Brandon has every chance of pulling off a career with his 2nd love. She All Mine is B. Lloyd’s musical reflection back on the dating escapades of he and his wife and he wrote it while the two were vacationing together.
“She All Mine is about a man who feels that his relationship with his lady is about more than the lovemaking.” he shares. “I knew Bobby Valentino’s voice would be a perfect fit for the song and he blessed me by being willing to grace the song of an up-and-coming artist. Not everyone is willing to do that.”
What drives this young man to not only pursue with equal fervor 2 very challenging career paths, but to offer himself up to the derision that often accompanies sports figures who try to break into music? The youngest of 7 children, Brandon Lloyd gives all of the credit for his incredible drive to his parents.
“I knew I wanted to be in the NFL when I was in kindergarten.” Brandon remembers. “I once got sent to the principle’s office for saying I wanted to be a professional football player in class when the teacher asked us all what we wanted to be when we grew up. The teacher said it was an ‘unrealistic goal.’ My Mom and Dad had always told me I could do anything I wanted. Just give it 100% and I can attain it.”
From where Brandon Lloyd is sitting right now, it looks like they might just be right.
There’s also some trax below 2 DL featuring a bunch of big names like Lil’ Wayne, Ne-Yo, Busta Rhymes, & much MORE! The theme of the trax below is that many of them have great beats, by big name producers nonetheless, yet for whatever reason, I’m not really into the track. It’s lacking that something special I suppose, but that doesn’t mean some of these won’t grow on me. Check ‘em out below and enjoy (Shouts 2 Urban Music for some of the exclusives!)

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”

Rose = Grandma
