NEW MUSIC: JODECI & H-TOWN – ‘KNOCKIN YOUR HEELS OFF’

1990s R&B groups Jodeci and H-Town have teamed up on the new track  Knockin Your Heels Off. The track isn’t bad (even though it sounds a little dated) but the close up Devante distracted me.. WHAT HAPPENED???? Rest In Peace H-Town’s original lead singer Dino Connor. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

NEW MUSIC: RAKIM – ‘WALK THESE STREETS’

Walk These Streets is taken from Rakim’s long-awaited/highly anticipated new album Seventh Seal which will be released on the 16th November. I love Walk These Streets but could have done without hearing other rappers on the track. I just want to hear Rakim! LISTEN TO WALK THESE STREETS [Thanks Cookie] The man still looks good enough to eat… Anyway your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

NEW MUSIC: ALEXANDRA BURKE FT FLO-RIDA – ‘BAD BOYS’

When I first spotted this promo shot of Alexandra on the front cover of The Daily Mirror several days ago I thought it was Ciara. Anyway…. X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke’s debut single Bad Boys premiered on Chris Moyles’ BBC Radio 1 breakfast show today and it’s what I expected – poppy and geared towards the mainstream pre-teen /teen market. Bad Boys with assistance from Flo-Rida will therefore be a huge hit worldwide! However the track does sound like it should have been released circa 97 / 98.  But it is actually quite catchy. []

NEW MUSIC: RAKIM – ‘HOLY ARE YOU’

The ‘God MC’ otherwise known as the legendary wordsmith Rakim, has dropped his new single Holy Are You, taken off of his long awaited new album The Seventh Seal. The album will drop on the 28th September 2009. [Thanks Cookie] Listen to Holy Are You. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

NEW MUSIC: 50 CENT – ‘PLAY THIS ON THE RADIO’

Apparently ”Play This On The Radio’ is a ‘diss track’ aimed at Lil Wayne…. (YAWN) Yes ole Fiddy is back at it again, taking shots at his fellow artists, and will drop his forthcoming album ‘Before I Self Destruct’ sometime this year… provided it’s release doesn’t get pushed back to December 2011. Your thoughts please……

MUSIC: STYLES P FT GIGGS – ‘ALL I KNOW IS PAIN’

Rapper Styles P teams up with UK rapper Giggs on this track, although it’s clear that his isn’t an official collaboration…… Anyway I really like ‘All I Know Is Pain’. It’s dark and moody, just how I’ve always liked my Hip Hop/Rap to sound, and I am a  Styles P fan. Your thoughts please…..

VIDEO: YUNG BERG – ‘OUTERSPACE’

Rapper Yung Berg more or less deaded his own career earlier this year after these offensive remarks…. I’m kinda racist … I don’t like dark butts …. You know how some women prefer light skin men or dark skin men. It’s rare that I do dark butts – that’s what I call dark skinned women … I [don’t date women] darker than me. I love the pool test. If you can jump in the pool exactly like you are and you don’t come out []

NEW MUSIC: MEL B – ‘WHO’S IS IT’

Former Spice Girl Mel B (Melenie Brown) really should be prevented from entering a recording studio. ‘Who’s Is It’ produced by Scott Storch is an absolute mess! I actually like Mel B but singing isn’t her forte.  Just leave it a lone Mel….. Your thoughts please……..
