NEW MUSIC: Kelly Rowland – Need A Reason [Ft. Future & Bei Maejor]

Kelly Rowland goes back to sexy with this track off the new Tyler Perry movie. This track in no shape or form is Motivation, but Kelly always delivers when it comes to sexy, and this can be added to that. I’m not really feeling the 2 features, but they do add a nice vibe to it. Kelly is definitely a force to be reckoned with, from slaying Dance & R&B, she can do almost no wrong, even her album was a complete flop.

I still prefer her on a dance beat though.

NEW MUSIC: Kendrick Lamar – The Recipe [Ft. Dr. Dre]

One of the few rappers I listen to these days, Kendrick Lamar, has released his debut single from his album and it features the legend, Dr. Dre. I haven’t been turned on too a lot of rap lately because of all the mainstream radio rap that has been going out in the past 5 or so years, so its definitely refreshing to hear real rap for once from Kendrick.

Kendrick Lamar is set to release his debut album later this year, and if he continues down this path, I’m more than certain that it will be amazing.

Take a listen below!

NEW MUSIC: Jai Paul – Jasmine

Jai Paul, who released probably one of my favorite tracks of 2011, ‘BTSTU‘,  is finally back!
After his break from the industry, he comes back with this amazing track which I have to admit was worth the wait. This track has smooth written ALL over it, and I love every piece of it. I seriously hope this guy doesn’t take another break from music because he is way to talented to go anywhere.

repeat.

FREE EP: Miguel – Art Dealer Chic Vol. 2

click cover for download

After completely blowing my mind with his Vol 1 EP, he brings out another 3 track EP for Volume 2. The first one was amazing, and so is this follow up. ‘Arch N’ Point’ is sexy, ‘All’ has a sort of R&B/electronic feel to it, and ‘Broads’ deals with a harder beat. All amazing tracks and best of all, its ALL free!

NEW VIDEO: Dawn Richard – Bombs

Former Danity Kane star Dawn Richard is back harder than ever with her debut single off her solo project Armor On. Let’s all be honest for a minute, we all thought her career was over with the rest of the members of DK, and even after her some-what failed attempt with Dirty Money. She was released from all that and decided to try it on her own, and well I would say it’s working pretty well so far!

‘Bombs’ is a hard hitting song with smooth R&B segments showing off Dawn’s amazing vocals. I really like this track, and the video is just as hard as the song showcasing Dawn doing some intricate choreography. No telling what the track will do on the radio or anything, but it has sparked my interest in her solo project, and I will definitely keep my eye on it!

….still bitter about that DK break up though

NEW MUSIC: Justin Beiber – Boyfriend

First, I am in no way shape or form part of the ‘Beliebers’ and so this review is strictly from a fan of music.

Probably one of the biggest moves in The Biebs career is going to be how to transition from teen pop, to his adult genre. He has dropped many features with the likes of Drake, Usher and Busta. He has rapped countless times in many radio stations, and so we all thought he was going to go more R&B with his next album. This new single ‘Boyfriend’ was compared to the non-existent legend that is Justin Timberlake. With that comparison I was a bit hesitant to listen to this track.

NEW MUSIC: Azealia Banks – Fuck Up the Fun

Probably my favorite female rapper in a long time is back with a new track, which supposedly disses Iggy Azalea, but I don’t hear it. Anyway this track is FIRE! She definitely sounds like an offspring of Missy Elliott on her flow, and don’t even get me started on the Diplo beat! This track is SO amazing!

For those that don’t know Miss Azealia Banks, she broke out hard on the scene with the ever controversial ‘212‘, which is still on repeat to this day. She has gained a good fan base in the UK, and hopefully she just gets bigger and bigger as time goes. She brings a fresh new take on rap, unlike her ‘competitors’, she has some talent.

Take a listen and fall in love below!

NEW MUSIC: Swedish House Mafia – Greyhound

One of my favorite house/techno trio’s have finally released a new track!

From slaying the charts and my life with ‘Miami 2 Ibiza’ and ‘One’ they are finally back with an amazing song called ‘Greyhound’. The video for this song has also dropped and it really is just visually pleasing. Since there are no lyrics you can’t really expect a plot or anything, but its nice to watch what they tried to do with it. Aside being an Absolute Vodka commercial it pretty much just is 3 robotic greyhounds racing.

Regardless, the original mix is miles better and that’s what you NEED to listen to below!

NEW MUSIC: TNGHT – Bugg’N

WHAAAAAAAAAAT

TNGHT is made up of 2 TOP producers of the last year HudMo and Lunice, and they have come together to fuse this amazing tune. Every detail of this track is just pure perfection, from all the little sound effects to the HEAVVVY background beat. It doesn’t get much better than this, and if your smart you will indulge your ears in this masterpiece right now!

thanks Pinboard!
