First Look: Melanie Fiona – The MF Life
Because after “4 AM” found its way onto BET’s 106 & Park Countdown, there was no way SRC/Universal Motown was going to be able to let Melanie Fiona’s album be any further delayed.

Artwork: Big K.R.I.T. – 4EvaNADay x “Boobie Miles”
First and foremost, Happy Big K.R.I.T. Release Month, everyone! I mean, umm, Happy Black History Month, everyone!

Even though the [...]
Artwork & Tracklist: J*DaVeY – New Designer Drug
I won’t lie – ever since the video for J*DaVeY’s song “Queen of Wonderland” found its way onto these internets, I’ve felt teased. Because “Queen” was the first sign of New Designer Drug, the pair’s follow-up to the short yet absolutely sweet Evil Christian Cop: The Great Mistapes EP; but for a while, sans J*DaVeY’s twitter page [...]
First Look: Jay Electronica’s Call Of Duty: MW3
While it may not be the much ballyhooed Act II, it’s a full length project from Jay Electronica. Now, the belief that it will be underwhelming is obviously there given the fact that Jay Elect releases tracks around the same time it takes Lil Wayne to pay producers. Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has [...]
Artwork: Rick Ross – God Forgives, I Don’t
