This is no Lil’ Kim, but straight up hip hop for your mind. Masia’s lyrical rhymes and melodic beats are jazzy and soulful. From the start to the end, the album takes you on her journeys to Jamaica, Asia and across Canada where she talks about travel, friendships, family, love, hate and life.

She puts you on a ride from in ‘Montreal in the Fall’ and Latin-inspired ‘Escovido’ to the electro backbeat of ‘Return of the Bgirl’. At times, the album may seem to fall a little out of place, but this girl’s got mad skills that it made this double-disc end playing only too soon. We’ve waited long enough for her album to drop and we’re left far from wanting.

Personally this is one dope album, masia one brings the heat on this one with a amazing line up of producers and tracks like no 2,3,5(cd1) & 1,4,7,11(cd2) would keep you hungry for more from this talented plus sexy MC. Grab it and support Masia One, best of all this album only cost me 9 usd, enjoi...

There is an undeniable vibe around an artist destined for stardom that speaks to you before they utter a single word. Sitting across from Jovan Dais you can feel the creative energy in the room; it pulls you in and keeps you riveted on this young man whose personality seems to fluctuate from the smooth charm of a ladies man to the street swagger of a bad boy. Grounded in the classical sounds of rhythm and blues with an updated twist, the musical talent of Jovan Dais and his artistic confidence are what set him apart. The 6-foot, charismatic singer, personifies class, style and creativity which is expressed in his self-penned lyrics, and displayed in his approachable image.

Jovanâs story is every bit as multifaceted as what he brings to the table artistically. Born in the Bronx and raised in Atlanta, Jovanâs childhood memories are split between a mother who loved R&B and introduced him to music by playing artists like Marvin Gaye, Blue Magic, Harold Melvin and Blue Notes around the house and a father who would moonlight as a deejay and managed various musical acts (such as the popular 90âs Latin group Barrio Boyzz). Jovanâs father exposed his talented son to his business early on by taking him around innovators in the business including industry legends Dallas Austin and Maurice Star. His fatherâs connections also afforded Jovan the opportunity to travel on the road with artists like early 90âs R&B group The Boyz (Dial My Heart, Crazy), which introduced the impressionable youngster to the entertainment lifestyle.

As a teen, Jovan played drums in his high school marching band and performed in several music groups, including a gospel rap clique, Godâs Little Angels, in which he rapped, produced tracks and wrote hooks. Although the group would eventually disband, this experience would prepare him for things to come. As a solo artist Jovan experienced years of spending hard earned money at local overpriced studios and leaving with poor quality recordings. Jovan realized he needed to create his own environment to make music to meet his outstanding expectations of being a world wide star. In 2002, with a $5,000 loan from his father, Jovan moved into an empty warehouse space near downtown, purchased some wood, recording equipment and began construction on his own studio. Working with a limited budget he single-handedly built a bedroom and recording booth, and began working on his demo.

A few years later another connection through his father resulted in an opportunity for Jovan to travel overseas to record. âI ended up signing an international management deal and going over to Belgium to record. They had me doing stuff that just wasnât me.â While the trip didnât result in Jovanâs big break he believes it was a turning point in finding out who he was as an artist and his character as a man. The trip also resulted in Jovan penning his first breakout hit âFedExâ. âIt was a great opportunity but, I was so lonely over there. I was missing home and all the things Iâd taken for granted. As I was sitting in a café I noticed a FedEx truck passing by and I started writing on a napkin about how I wished I could FedEx myself home,â Jovan recalls. Upon returning stateside Jovan enlisted local producer Kevven âK-Hampâ Hamilton to produce the music for âFedExâ, and Anotha Dais Productions was established.

âFedExâ created a buzz and was released with six other songs as an EP. In May 2004, as Jovanâs name began to circulate around the Atlanta music scene, he entered a joint venture deal with independent label/marketing firm Cloud 9 Entertainment. Through Cloud 9, Jovan was able to work with established producers Ryan Leslie (Britney Spears, Beyonce, Cassie) and former Bad Boy producers Stevie J and J-Dub, who produced Jovanâs first official single, âNeed Youâ featuring former Bad Boy rapper Loon. Though the track sold a respectable number of copies, generating regional airplay, it did not lead to a major distribution deal and the companies parted ways.

While, Jovan would prefer to perform with his multifaceted 8-piece band, his musical material isnât restricted to the confines of the contemporary R&B genre. Jovanâs dual style was showcased perfectly on the groundbreaking mixtape entitled 24: Season One, hosted by DJ Don Cannon (Aphilliates). Cannon and DJ Sense immediately labeled Jovanâs innovative approach âRhythm and Streetsâ and he became the first R&B artist to put out a mix tape hosted by the Aphilliates. The mix tape segues between Jovanâs smooth vocals and his hip-hop driven altar ego boldly challenging the current state of R&B. âNo one is making real records anymore,â Jovan insists, âItâs a joke. People know it but no one is saying it.â 24: Season Two hit the streets early in 2007.

As 24: Season One made its rounds throughout the southern region, Jovanâs name began buzzing on everyoneâs radar including longtime friend DJ Toomp. Toomp recognized Jovanâs star quality and offered to shop him along with his label N Zone Entertainment for distribution. âToomp is more than a business partner, he is a mentor and a friend,â Jovan says of his relationship with the infamous ATL beat banger. Coincidentally Toompâs Sound Trap Studio is now housed in the very building that Jovan built a few years back, and is home to the offices of ZoneBoy Productions and N Zone Entertainment.

Jovan first received chart success with the Toomp-stamped hit single âGotta Get to My Babyâ which at its height, reached the 2 spot on the Billboard Hot Singles Sales Chart quickly surpassing many other artists with major label backing and much larger promotional budgets. The record achieved regional success and caught the eyes of many label executives positioning Jovan as an artist to watch.

In April 2007, Jovan was selected to go on the Seagram's Gin Live Tour with rap duo Clipse and R&B sensation Mya. The eleven city tour gave him the opportunity to garner national attention with dates in D.C, New York, and Miami. The tour was not only a pivotal point in Jovan's career but a springboard for the next level of opportunities awaiting him. While touring, Jovan began filming a documentary on his life as an independent artist on his first tour and the struggles of trying to make it in the music industry. The documentary, tentatively titled DAIS AWAY: JOVAN DAIS, guarantees a raw and un-cut version of the journey an artist takes to success in the entertainment business. While filming the documentary Jovan developed a passion for film editing and now adds film director to his repertoire of talent. In addition to Dais Ahead: The Jovan Dais Documentary, he has several other original Film and Television programs in the works including: Americaâs Next Great Songwriter and The Narrator (A Short Film and Soundtrack).

Having experienced the ups and downs of the industry, Jovan has developed a thick skin, in addition to evolving into an even more seasoned artist, performer and businessman. Equipped with a catalog of album-ready songs and an aggressive team in place; Jovan has taken control of his destiny with Anotha Dais Productions and is patiently waiting to take the industry by storm.

No Looking Back is an impressive urban gospel release, and easily one of the year's big comebacks in the genre

If one were to list the key artists who gave rise to urban gospel music in the last decade, most would probably list the usual suspects—Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary, Yolanda Adams. Another that deserves to be included in that bunch is Damita, even though her impressive self-titled major label debut failed to make as big of waves in the industry. Vocally, Damita is no Yolanda, but her first disc proved she was every bit as sassy, spirit-led, and self-assured. Her gifting is more delicate and understated—a quiet storm that could go from a fragile whisper to a thunderous, soaring soprano.

Perhaps Damita was too delicate and eclectic to catch on, but the singer is finally back with a follow-up. Eight years is a long time in-between projects, but the quality of No Turning Back renders the lapse irrelevant. You'd think Damita would be rusty or out of form after all this time, but that's far from the case here. Her voice is as potent as ever, commanding every track with the confidence of a leading lady, right on par with gospel sirens two years her senior.

Like the music of her husband, recording artists Deitrick Haddon, Damita favors the urban side of the gospel spectrum. She refrains from waxing churchy or melismatic, instead making a conscious effort to skew younger by remaining true to the music she loves, namely, uncomplicated yet extremely effective urban pop. Her style is melodic to the core—urban in approach but unabashedly pop, like a Christian version of Rihanna (except Damita could sing circles around her).

Amid the thumping beds and the top-rate production, the heart of Damita shines. She doesn't get lost in the hotness of the beats, letting instead her voice do the talking, no matter if she's tackling airy pop ("Great God"), calypso-flavored worship ("Best Thing"), Janet-styled urban jams ("Torn Up"), organic acoustic soul ("Midnite"), classic R&B ("Pray"), or a knockout, guitar-laced cover of a gospel hit ("I Won't Complain").

Since the title makes it seem like Damita has every intention to keep on making music, let's hope No Turning Back means the songstress won't be taking another extended hiatus, and that she's back for good.

If you were into deitrick haddon and his amazing tracks courtesy of Tim&Bob, then you wouldn't want to miss out on his wife. Damita's album is a really astonishing R&B Gospel album, Songs like "Torn Up" or even "Don't Leave Me Lonely" would leave you craving for more from this talented singer with a very bright future ahead. Props to Tim&Bob for their incredible work recently too. Grab it, nuff said.

Grammy-nominated, multi-award winning music superstar Tonéx brings another Hallmark gift to his fans. This is the Japanese import edition of his album entitled "OAK PARK 921'06." This disc is available at every major retailer in Japan, and now it's made available to the U.S. through Amazon.com. Nothing will prepare the public for the lead smash single "FAIL U". It's definitely a psychedelic dance-invoking club banger. In this cut, Tonéx displays his dynamic voice range and music production that's unlike any other. The intro alone will force you to keep "Fail U" on repeat. The various components of this song are unforgettable, melding hip-hop with pop, funk, and gospel. "Fail U" coins the new realm of music..."Gospop." Tonéx also teams up with multi-platinum recording artist/actor Montell Jordan on the track "Yes." "This album will challenge you and strengthen your walk with God," says Tonéx. "Just think of it as a Tonéx Reality Show, set to music." He adds, "In this album I tell it all about life, love, tragedy and triumph."

This is one amazing R&B Gospel album, with his smooth tenor and laid back beats, its a keeper.

As a producer, Nujabes has grown a lot in my opinion from 2003 to 2005 when he released the said product. Nujabes has always had a cool jazz influence over his beats, and thankfully that hasn't changed. The beats he crafted for this LP are all A Grade. The few emcees he chose to rap over some select gems aren't the best, but they flow over his tracks like they've worked with him since 89. From American underground artists like Cise Starr and Substantial to Japanese talent like Shing02 and Uyama Hiroto, each featured artist brings something special to the track to make it shine. It'd be hard for me to pick a few standout tracks because of the amazing job Nujabes does to weave all of the songs together. Without a doubt, I believe this is the best work Nujabes has done.

I know that not many people will get the chance to experience some these very impressive beats, and that's a shame. If Nujabes were to release some of his stuff in America and work with some of the artists who have a stable fanbase, there's no doubt in my mind that he'd be one of the premier producers this side of the western hemisphere. But maybe he's not doing it for the fame? Maybe he's just doing it to make good music. I don't know. Either way, I hope he doesn't make me wait too long for the next LP. Get this album however you can.

It is definitely a jazzy\smooth hip hop album that brings out various emotions in their music, do check this out. Do not sleep on this talented dj.

This fine debut album from Amsterdam based singer-songwriter Giovanca Ostiana has been a long time coming as the lady who also just happens to be an actress, fashion model and MTV presenter has been too busy! Still, it has been well worth the wait. Around since March in Europe this is a stunning debut of fresh, feel good soulful and jazzy tunes.

Produced by blue-eyed soul boy Benny Sings and released on the strong dutch independent Dox record label the whole album is full of tunes that have huge hit potential if it wasn't for the fact that they ooze class out of every note. On the slow and instantly catchy ballad 'Melancholic You' Giovanca sounds very much like Minnie Ripperton in both voice, phrasing and production and to prove that this is not a fluke the fullness of her voice becomes even more like Ripperton in the following track the delightful 'Pure Bliss'.

The ability to create songs of this quality which also have the knack of being instantly memorable is extremely rare and is enhanced by the new beats and samples of producer Benny Sings. The uptempo tracks are just as good. There is funk in 'You can do it'; latin in 'Free,' RnB in 'Stay Together' and soul in 'Matter of fact'

Yet know matter what the genre it is all linked together by the ability to structure tunes that have a lasting melody that will continue to linger in your head for many days after playing them. There may be contradictions in some of the lyrical content of the songs but there is absolutely no contradictions to be heard in the music. It's just sophisticated soul at it's most eclectic.

By far one of the finest soul albums out this year, grab it!

A member of the tight-knit Mobb Deep family, Big Noyd has been a Queensbridge legend since his opening line on the Mobb's song "Give Up The Goods (Just Step)". First getting shine way back in 1993 on Mobb Deep's debut album "Juvenile Hell", Noyd continued to make show stopping appearances on nearly every following Mobb Deep album. His 1996 debut album, "Episodes of a Hustler", was released during a period of incarceration for the infamous Big Noyd. Nevertheless, many consider it a classic. He returned with his sophomore album in 2003, "Only The Strong (Survives)", again in 2004 with "On The Grind" and most recently his two Traffic Entertainment ventures entitled "The Stick Up Kid" and "The Co-Defendants". His latest offering, "The Kid from the Bridge" picks right up where those two left off. Once again Queensbridge comes correct, with one of their legendary ambassadors holding it down as always.

The four singers, a gruff-voiced version of Boyz II Men, are primarily concerned with "sexing" somebody in most of the slow-jam songs, in a variety of ways, both physical and social. In "Tell Me How Ya Like It," they are soliciting comment on "the way I grab it from the back, " while "In the Rain" pleads, "Let's go and make love outside in the rain." When they aren't talking about the specific circumstances of the act, the singers are encountering situational problems. "1, 2, 3," their debut single, concerns a romantic triangle in which a man can't make up his mind between two women. And "Sexin' Your Ex" must be the first song about lusting after your former wife. But it probably isn't the subject matter that earns this album its "parental advisory" sticker. While the group itself sticks to harmonizing and wailing, several of the songs are accompanied by often vituperative raps by guest rappers, such as the obscenity-laden one by Simone Starks in "Sexin' Your Ex" that uses racial and homophobic epithets to bluntly inform the singers that their intentions are doomed to failure. Though raps are a convention of even conventional R&B these days, the tone of the ones here seems extreme in contrast to the sentiments of the song lyrics. Executive producer LL Cool J, who is debuting his Warner Bros. production deal and his Rock the Bells (RTB) label with this release, may find the two aspects complementary, and they can be, but sometimes they disrupt the mood. If these lover boys really want to sex their listeners, maybe they should leave their rap friends back in the crib.

I had the pleasure to hear the whole kiley Dean album and I must say that she is a power house with her vocals.Song like "escape" written and produced by Timberland show a diverse side to the music style of Kiley captivating her raspy voice, also my favorite song on the album called "Days Gone By" which could have been an instant #1 on the charts with its slow R&B flavor as well as "America" that was another Timberland classic. All 19 tracks that I heard and sadly have to burn to have for myself showcase the best that Kiley has, unfortunatly her album was stopped which was a major major major mistake and I pray that they let this girl release more of her music to show that she's got MADD SOUL, (you would think she's black if you didn't know what she look like)

Singer, songwriter, producer, and grandson of an international music notable; Rob has been surrounded by music ever since birth. With a childhood immersed in a wide array of musical influences, from hip hop, pop, and R&B to Caribbean, jazz and even classical, Rob developed a vigorous passion for music relatively early in life. His musical upbringing coupled with his experiences as a trumpet soloist, self-taught pianist, impressive composer and vocal arranger has translated into the making of a true artist.

Listening to Rob Murat’s music is like traveling back to the future. The freshness of his sound is reminiscent of the icons that paved the way before him, yet it pushes forward with a unique flavor that hints at something never quite heard before. His passionate performances demand your undivided attention upon delivery. Sold out crowds at New York’s Joe’s Pub, The Village Underground, and L.Q., and Philadelphia’s World Live Café among others have all experienced Rob’s captivating execution firsthand. His sound and style lay a foundation that often flirt with rich tones and live instrumentation, yet at the same time display hip hop sensibilities that peak the interest of the urban listener. His songs deal with a range of matters from the heart and mind with a strong presence of vocal textures that serve as pure audio therapy for the soul. Seldom have love and hate, joy and pain, even tears and laughter been bound so tightly together in such a mesmerizing set.

This feline is back, and she is ready to capture the attention of those who doubted her return. Jaguar Wright is probably best known for her background vocals on Jay-Z's MTV Unplugged album but she also put out an album entitled Denials, Delusions, and Decisions back in 2002. But with a pending pregnancy (which she happily showcased in her video for the song "What If"), this gritty songstress found herself being looked over and under-promoted by her then label MCA Records. Now having suffered a shelved album entitled And Your Point Is in 2003, Jaguar resurfaces on Artemis Records with the aptly titled Divorcing Neo 2 Marry Soul.

The title is fitting considering Jaguar eagerly breaks the mold of just sounding "new" and different from everything else that is out. You can practically say that she is at times possessed with the sound of old school soul we all grew up with. "Woman To Woman" is a modern twist to Shirley Brown's classic song on dealing with an outsider trying to creep in on her territory...namely her man. But besides remaking a classic, Jaguar dives into a near 12-minute escapade on "Do Your Worst", reminiscent of those 12" singles that some of us might remember from the days of old.

She, like many other artists, gives a vocal tribute to her seed on the song "Flower." Those of you that loved her debut album will appreciate songs like "My Place," "Let Me Be The One," and "One More Drink" (the latter being a spillover track from her unreleased album mentioned earlier.) Her hip-hop influence is demonstrated on the track "Timing," where she uses the same beat from Clipse's "Grindin," and "Been Here Before" provides some of here potty-mouth antics that we became accustom to on Denials, Delusions, and Decisions. Even the first single "Free" is refreshing in that Jaguar isn't scared tell it like it is. One thing is for sure, Divorcing Neo 2 Marry Soul is proof that Jaguar's ready to move on to bigger and better things.

George Duke's debut for Heads Up International, "Dukey Treats," will be out on store shelves on Tuesday, Aug. 26. The album cover features chocolate miniatures, including a piano. It's so Ghiardelli Square. The veteran keyboardist/composer is offering up 12 treats, er tracks, on this release. Bassists Christian McBride and Byron Miller, percussionist Sheila E, drummer Leon "Ndugu" Chancler, guitarist Jef Lee Johnson (late Grover Washington, Jr. sideman) and trumpeter Michael "Patches" Stewart are three of the top-line guest stars on the album. The vocalists on the CD are an incredible array of talent, ranging from Rachelle Farrell to Howard Hewett, Teena Marie to Jonathan Butler to Josie James, Lynn Davis and Napoleon "Napi" Brock.
The opening track is a high-energy number called "Everyday Hero." "A Fonk Tail" pays homage to the Parliament/Funkadelic era of the 1970s. "Creepin'" is a remake of a song that originally appeared on Duke's 2002 BPM release "Face The Music." Duke's top keyboard solo, in my opinion, is on the closing track, "Images Of Us." As usual, it sounds like another winner from George Duke, the venerable master of piano-driven funk.

Finesoul ~ In my opinion i tought this was going to be another typical Funk/R&B Album but it sounds dope to say the least. Tracks like "I Tried To Tell You" & "Somebody Laid It On Us" reminiscence the old isley brothers songs. This is something worth checking out even if you think the cover paints a different picture. Last words... Grab it!

I was a bit skeptical about buying Young Rome's album at first, but now I'm glad that I got it. He is definitely a talented artist and this is reflected throughout the whole cd. I was surprised to hear how unique and orignal his album is. His rapping skills have definitely improved since his Immature/IMx days. I would recommend this album to any and every hip-hop fan, whether you were a fan of Immature/IMx or not. I think this album can be enjoyed by everyone. This album really does give you a good look at who Young Rome is, and it's much different from your average rap album. Among my favorite songs on this album are Freaky (which has a HOTT beat to it) and Best Days (which is the most touching song on the album where he talks about different aspects of his life, including his feelings towards B2K).
Do not sleep on this Young Rome album. He is not the same guy as Romeo...Young Rome has grown up and has a talent that the world needs to see. I highly recommend this album.

Omarian's baby brother made a tight album. I like almost every song on this album. He has some nice mid tempo songs. He sings them well. I dont care for the songs smellz like a party, or shorty. My personal favorites are called Going Out Your Way which reminds me of south side by loyd and I like the song I'm Coming which a smooth song. Too bad many people dont know about this great cd.

Governor is the newest R&B crooner to be signed to a rapper's label. But unlike Bobby Valentino who favors romance & seduction, Governor has more in common in with Donny Hathway & Lyfe Jennings. I was initially disappointed by the CD because it lacks those baby maker slow jams but after giving the CD a second listen I found the CD to be more social & political than sexual. Governor is at his best on Blood, Sweat & Tears, Slow Down & Forgive Me but the rest of the CD is by the numbers. T.I. is wasted on his featured track, but Governor does show some promise. Instinct tells me that Grand Hustle Records another male R&B crooner Rashad Morgan also known as Ray-Ray is going to be the label's lover man while Governor will be the exact opposite.
This album is certainly different from other slow jam albums in the market, theres no harm sparing another 80mb in your porn filled hd =].

Keisha White is the real deal Holyfield. Representing North London, the young soul siren embodies that 'it' factor that every artist wishes they possessed. She's got the chops, she's got the looks, and she's got the versatility. But being a world away will limit her exposure to the listening audience in the United States. Nevertheless, Keisha White has the sophistication for the older crowd along with the power ballads that the 'American Idol' audience seems to enjoy hearing week in and week out on the show. And her debut album Out of My Hands is certainly one of those albums that the critics will love and embrace after one listen.

"The Weakness In Me" is a superb illustration of the vocal gift that Keisha personifies in every note she exclaims in her songs (see link to the video below). Other compelling melodies include "I Choose Life" and "It Takes A Stronger Man." But Keisha White also explores the delicate and smooth side of R&B with songs like "One Step At A Time," "Love Is The Deepest Hurt," and "Why." She even does a few mid-tempo tracks like the funky "Brother," the title track "Out Of My Hands," the unrelenting "What's On Your Mind" and the cover of the Patti Austin/James Ingram classic "Baby Come To Me." Even the upbeat riff of "Complicated Emotions" doesn't sound out of place despite it being the only cut on the album that comes close to a dance track.

A lot of people will try to draw comparisons to people like Toni Braxton, Joss Stone, or Heather Headley. But Keisha White is truly a starlet in her own right. Her gracefulness alone sets her far apart from the pack. And even though Out of My Hands is an import disc, the few extra bucks to get your hands on it will be worth every penny once you play it for the first time in your stereo.

Israel's "Chapter One" - I'm giving it two thumbs up for this album, I like all the tracks especially "Work Da Middle Pt 2, My Girl & Centre" If your into rnb, slow jamz and dance rnb with crunk beats! Get this album, I guarantee ya'll wont regret buying it!
finesoul too recommends getting this cause of the diversity israel puts in his work, check out "Comin' 2 Getcha" which has a sick beat and jin, and also "remember when" & "your everything". It's a definite grab for the genuine rnb/soul luvers

Imagine a cross between Craig David and Usher and you will find Nathan. The album is pretty much full of potential singles and although "Masterpiece" is the kind of title asking for criticism from the get go, its a justified title. The album is very strong, personal favourites include "Cold as Ice" and "Kiss Me" - well worth a buy!

N2U is the product of Chris Stokes, who rose to fame with his groups IMX, B2K, and the female counterparts Gyrl and TG4. Whereas all those other groups focused entirely on their labelmates, along with dance cuts and sappy ballads, N2U strays away from the format; the result is a wonderful album that cannot be missed.

All of the songs are definitely worth listening to. This is one of those rare albums that you can play all the way through without skipping any. This album isn't for dance fanatics, for this is a very ballad-heavy album, but that's definitely not detrimental to it. This album simply WORKS.

Anytime you start off with an excellent intro, you know you have a soild album, and N2U does just that. "Because of You" is an excellent vocal masterpiece, with lovely vocals and excellent backdrop instrumentals. "Freakin' You (Set the Mood)" is excellent and has a lovely lead vocal with some serious backgrounds, with some good lyrics. By far my favorite two songs on the album.

What also makes this album work is the various subject matter. It's not all about "ooh baby, I love you forever", but N2U deals with some issues that go on in everyday life. "Baby Mama Love" is relatable to a lot of men, and the song works because it's nowhere near overdone vocally, production-wise, or lyrically. It sounds like it's read straight from someone's journal or thoughts. Interesting. Also, "Breakin' the Law" is a sexy song that tells you what a man is going to do to his lady, but not in a raunchy "et me lick you way", but also not having any cares about the act's surroundings. A lovely song at best! "Beauty" tells you how many people go to someone's looks to keep the relationship knowing that it can't keep it going. And the song is, again, not overdone at all. And of course, the hidden track "What Goes Around Comes Around" teaches us the old adage of karma. Beautiful.

Why 4.75 stars? First, because "Because of You" had the perfect potential to be a whole song and it was just an interlude. When it went off, I was like, no!!! I would have loved to hear a whole song of that. Also, Jermaine Dupri is the only guest star on this album and even he was unnecessary. N2U could have done this album without anyone! lol

All in all, this album is one of those rare finds that you have to have. It's such a shame that it's underpromoted and overlooked, for it is definitely a classic. It's funny that N2U shines where the other groups under Stokes has failed -- in the vocals -- yet doesn't get the recognition they deserve. Here's hoping that we get some more N2U played!

With striking looks and knock-you-out vocals, Cheri Dennis
was discovered and immediately signed in New York by Sean
P. Diddy Combs himself after impressing him with an impromptu
live performance. Since then, Cheri has appeared on albums
with superstars including Diddy, Faith Evans, Ma$e, and Yung
Joc while recording her debut album for Bad Boy. Cheri's first
single, I Love You , produced by A-list producer, Ryan Leslie
(Beyonce, Snoop Dogg, Cassie, JoJo) exploded onto Billboard's
Hot R&B/Hip Hop Singles & Tracks Chart in 2006 and another
song from her upcoming album, Oh La La was used in the
opening credits of MTV's ratings juggernaut, Making The Band 3
(Danity Kane). Now with help from studio superstars like Timbaland,
Rodney Jerkins and Ryan Leslie, Cheri is back with a tourde-
force debut album of hip hop soul that is sure to strike a
chord with music lovers everywhere.

I personally like this album, I definitely recommend it for any R&B fans

The multi-talented Nick Cannon first became known as an actor in films and TV, appearing in DRUMLINE, LOVE DON'T COST A THING, and even his own NICK CANNON SHOW. Somehow, in between acting jobs, he found the time to record a hip-hop album. Despite his camera-friendly image, Cannon clearly has aspirations to be more than just another Will Smith nice-guy rapper. Things get off to a roaring start with the in-your-face track "Get Crunk Shorty" pumping things up (with help from Ying Yang Twins). Throughout the album, Cannon takes a surprisingly hard lyrical stance, frequently proclaiming himself a "gigolo" and a "pimp." On the naggingly catchy "You," Cannon shows his musical roots by making lyrical references to the Grandmaster Flash/Furious Five classic "The Message" and De La Soul's "Me, Myself & I," but doesn't go down the socio-political road of those songs. Naturally, being a film and TV star, Cannon lined up guest-shots aplenty for his debut, including star turns by Mary J. Blige and R. Kelly, but, to his credit, these icons do not outshine him.

Latif's debut album "Love In The First" is probably one of the most slept on releases of 2003. His first single "I Don't Wanna Hurt You" tells a story about young love and the scary thought of settling down at a young age. The script flips a bit to the next song "Who's Lovin' Her Now" its kinda like the 2nd part to the 1st single he wonders if shes happy and who is loving her.
The highlights on the disc is definately track 4 "Without U" a beautiful interpretation of how much u realise how much some means to you when they're gone. Also track 11 stands out for me which could have easily been a single "Rain Will Go Away" its such a heart breaking song "Rain will go away/i pray you find someone else to take my place".
Latif has so much talent comparisons to Avant & Donell Jones are clearly evident let's hope he releases a sophomore CD

For a while there, the helium-voiced Macy Gray seemed to be coasting instead of crashing down the walls between funk, rock, and R&B the way scads of breathless music pundits once said she would. That was before will.i.am and a handful of other skillful knob-twisters entered her life. Now, multi-genre destruction and utter domination once again seem possible: Big, as its title suggests, is a huge record--bold in all the right places and subdued where it needs to be; scruffy around the edges but slick below the surface; at once nonchalant and reckless to the bone. Gray, in her way, is a vocal Timbaland--it's tempting to think she's too imposing to make a random-seeming hook-up work, but she stretches her singular gift around pretty much any collaborator a producer can throw at her, and with style to burn. On Big, those tossed on for the challenge include Natalie Cole, who lights up opener "Finally Made Me Happy"; Nas, who gives up the grit likably on "Ghetto Love"; and Fergie, who coos efficiently throughout "Glad You're Here." As vibes go, the one given off here is cool, casual, and slightly crazy--all Macy, in other words. She does her thing up right, and she does it Big.

Just when you had DJ Jazzy Jeff pegged solely as a hip-hop maven, Groovin’ Records jettisons The Soul Mixtape chocked full of nu soul and R&B gems that will rattle your preconceived notions of his skills. But if you’ve been watching his career, you’d realize that this is no sudden move for the Philadelphia native.
From 1987 to 1993, Jeff along with childhood friend and superstar Will Smith were the groundbreaking hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. They successfully made the transition to television with six seasons of the top-rated syndicated show The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. But in 1990, Jeff launched A Touch Of Jazz Productions (ATOJ) as a creative hub largely to foster his love of R&B and soul. After a decade of producing for outside artists, ATOJ introduced what would be its first breakthrough artist in Grammy-winning singer Jill Scott while further tilling the soil of the burgeoning neo-soul movement by introducing such artists as Musiq and Floetry. With 10 million albums sold worldwide and an enviable collection of awards, DJ Jazzy Jeff is definitely a man of many accomplishments. But his accomplishments wouldn’t be complete without feeding his love of R&B and soul via ATOJ. And that love is further translated in The Soul Mixtape.

Featuring 16 lustrous tracks hand picked by DJ Jazzy Jeff and soul music fanatics Teddy and Natalie Esposito, the disc mixes familiar faces (Dwele, Martin Luther, Pete Rock) with the freshman class of soul (Valencia Robinson, Michael Bohannon, Leela James), making for a best of both worlds listening experience. U.K. acid jazz renaissance man Omar duets with U.S. soul matriarch Angie Stone on a remake of the classic 1974 William DeVaughn hit "Be Thankful" while former Incognito vocalist Kellie Sae revamps Aretha Franklin’s 70s gem "Daydreamin’". The disc also contains two exclusive tracks from ATOJ artist V ("She Wants 2 Be", "Broken Dreams") not available anywhere else. DJ Jazzy Jeff blends these tracks with extreme care, exemplifying his passion and love for the genre. That same love also lead him to cross paths with soul aficionados Groovin’ Records, curators of the soul compilation series Neo Soul United (vol. 1-3) and Soul In The City.

The Soul Mixtape marks DJ Jazzy Jeff’s first release with an American independent label.

Jai Wil, a Chicago native with a worldwide mission, has been patiently waiting to make his mark in the music industry. In 1999, he landed his first major gig, singing background for Sean “Diddy” Combs on the “Puff Daddy and the Family” tour. He had his first dose of stardom, surrounded with Bad Boy acts like Lil' Kim, Carl Thomas, Mase, and P Diddy, himself. Spending most of his musical years perfecting his craft, Jai has also taken center stage at events like "Laughing on the Lakefront", a Comedy Extravaganza at the Arie Crown Theatre, featuring Ricky Smiley, Adele Givens, Arnez J and others and performing for Project 8 & BET's Rap It Up AIDS campaign along side artists like Chingy and Ms. Prissy (from the movie "Rize"). Past experiences also include background vocals for Dave Hollister and opening for R.Kelly.

The streets have a time-tested way of putting the cold hard steel to a soul. The streets toughen folks to either stay and survive, or to elevate and strive. Brooklyn-born singer/songwriter Edwin "Lil Eddie" Serrano chose the latter and has been steadily ascending the music industry ladder ever since.

Going from living on the streets of Spanish Harlem to releasing his debut album Nobody's Fool at the age of 19, Lil Eddie's accomplishments are inspiration. Nobody's Fool introduces a young Puerto Rican with both a gift and the passion to be "a serious artist with the platinum touch" - to move the masses in his quest to be the first "Latin Soul Sensation." He's already had one song he co-wrote all over urban radio: Carl Thomas' "She Is" (f/ LL Cool J). He also wrote and appeared with P.Diddy on "I'm Looking At You." Now, as the first artist signed to super producer and Bad Boy recording artist Mario "Yellow Man" Winans' Yellow City imprint (via Florida-based Big3 Records), it's Eddie's time to shine.

Eddie co-wrote all of the material on Nobody's Fool. One listen to the dreamy and melodic "Gotta Go," it's clear Lil Eddie has been studying the radio well. Dig even deeper into the album and you will find songs that are "purely Eddie." Take the track "I Don't Think I Ever," a haunting declaration about discovering the true meaning of love which features Winans chiming in on a verse. Most powerful is the title track, "Nobody's Fool," from which the defiantly confident lyrics at the top of this page were pulled. Featuring a blistering rap by Yellow City Entertainment's Lo Down, "Nobody's Fool" tells you all you need to know about the determination Eddie has had to have to make it this far in his career...and in his life. "That song explains why doing this first album was totally necessary for me," Eddie states. "I have a lot to say."

For a decade, Hip Hop artist Eternia has been formidable presence in the Canadian and international urban music industry. This lyrical powerhouse has tightened her skills on street corners, stages, and in studio sessions across Canada, the U.S., and Australia. Meet Canada's answer to: 'Who's Got Next?' Following a slew of successful singles, videos & feature releases including “Work it Out”, “Sorrow Song” (Universal/Maple), “Understand if I” (Battle Axe Records), & “Just the Way it Is” (Urbnet), and the Australian national chart-topper “Movin’” (Warner), Eternia proudly introduces to the world her most personal offering yet, the highly anticipated full-length album, It’s Called Life. "I write life music. Sometimes I'm criticized for being too negative or too dark. I'm inspired by my family and personal relationships, and that stuff isn't always happy at times," she says. "It's amazing when you see your fans in the crowd react to lyrics, like 'That’s exactly how I was feeling!' That's why I make music, I want to affect people."

Personally, this is a must grab, her lyrical skills are by far mind blowing and she is definitely on the list of top 5 female mc's.

On their second album, Expansion Team, the trio, MC's Evidence and Iriscience and DJ Babu, come up with more of the same slammin' tracks that The Platform featured. DJ Premier again shows why he is the best producer in the game with the stellar "Worst Come To Worst" which guests his Gang Starr partner, Guru. "Dilated Junkies" features the World Famous Beat Junkies and is another great track. Babu supplies some great scratches on the "Defari Interlude" and The Roots' Black Thought joins in on the smooth "Hard Hitters". Expansion Team is another triumph and is a breath of fresh air for hip hop.

East Coast duo Exile & Lokey trade rhymes back and forth as easily as bootleg Star Wars DVDs in Chinatown-their symbiosis on "Sinking Ship" and "The Bridge" seems as much the product of practice as talent. And they got the latter for days-Exile's backing tracks are hearty, guitar-driven jams that sound like later-period Massive Attack, brooding and epic. As lyricists, the two pine nostalgically like Rhymesayers' Slug without sounding trite. And that's the whole point

Exile & Lokey. The names say it all.

Exile, with his innovative flow and vibe-drenched, homespun soundscapes, is a musical misfit defying the boundaries of conventional hip-hop. Staking out uncharted territory of beat and rhyme, he claims it as his own.

Lokey is the quiet type. He sits back, drinks it all in and chooses his
moment carefully. But when it's time for him to rip the mic, his lyrical
acrobatics will leave you nodding your head at his insight and shaking it in disbelief at his roll-the-tape-back rhyme pattern.

Down to rock a show anytime, anywhere, Exile & Lokey have shared bills with hip-hop's finest, tearing up stages alongside Aesop Rock, Atmosphere, Mr. Lif, Bootcamp Click, Pharoahe Monch and Dead Prez. Ex & Lo's tag-team rhyme pyrotechnics leave the audience clamoring for more every time.

Now, after many months locked away in their secret dungeon workshop, they emerge well-stocked with a brand new batch of hot tracks. Each song comes fortified with a soulful Exile instrumental as well as the duo's signature blend of lyrics. Personal without being self-indulgent, conscious without sacrificing coherence, Exile & Lokey's "Lucid Traveler" EP is available now

As one of the last few shining lights at Puff's crumbling Bad Boy empire, G-Dep's crisp, conversational flow was expected to help fill the gaping hole left at the label by the death of Biggie and resignation of the LOX. Interestingly, Dep's solo debut actually does a decent job (along with Black Rob's Life Story) of further cementing Puff's rep as a great spotter of talent. G-Dep cashes in on the street buzz that has been festering since his performances on the Bad Boy compilation The Saga Continues... on "Special Delivery," a modest head-nodder with its minimalist loop and drum programs--Puff ad-libs notwithstanding. On "I Am," which teams up arguably two of the greatest MCs of all time (Rakim and Kool G Rap) with Dep, and the Depster more than holds his own. "Keep It Gangsta" features an introspective Shyne waxing cryptically about the court case that got him locked down, and the clubby "Smash on the First Night" is another one of those must-hear gems. Still, the album has problem areas. Why lazily lift a loop from Eric B and Rakim's classic "Microphone Fiend" on "Doe Fiend"? And why do two of the best joints on this album ("Lets Get It," "Child of the Ghetto") already appear on the The Saga Continues...?

Frankenstein had a white label album “Live From New York Remix Album” back in 97′. Some of his remixes for artists (unofficial remixes) are so dope that cats should have been checkin’ for his production skills back then instead of messing with some of the crap that was out there.

I’m not sure what it is about Frank’s sound that is so appealing to me, but he definitely has a “sound” to his beats that are very compelling to me. I first heard him on a Salt Lake City hip hop radio show when they played “The Rain Is Gone” back in 98′. Immediately I was fiendin’ for this track. Luckily enough I had the tape deck recording that night and that tape became a prized possession.

This is a great EP. Georgia is seriously multi-talented and she has such an evident amount of self-confidence that comes through in her music. It would have been very easy for Georgia to get pigeon-holed as an R&B singer by some wack A&R, but enter Stones Throw to give her the green light she so deserves. This EP is different than anything I've heard in a while and Georgia made the beats and sang on every track.

Vivian Green is old-school R&B: she can actually sing, and her songs actually say something. It's not just over-produced bump-n-grind nonsense that so many other female performers these days excel at. She's a vocalist, not just some MTV/BET video hoe upgraded to singer.

This album consists of songs that are atypical of R&B these days also. They don't depend on driving choruses, or thumping bass. They just depend on her voice, and the words she's singing. And they WORK. Instead of giving us an album consisting of a few singles and some filler, we get a solid block of material that holds up and doesn't become old or faded. Long after you stop playing your current album-of-the-minute with the big hits on it that get inevitably replaced by bigger hits on another day, you can keep right on playing this one.

My one complaint (and the reason it's four stars and not five) is that the album isn't as good as her first one. That one really consisted of songs that fit her voice perfectly and had much stronger, more poignant writing overall. It was more soulful than this one, and emotionally heavier. This one is excellent, but it's very light compared to her debut.

And hey, there's nothing wrong with that. She's obviously able to stretch and be flexible. And if that means that every album she puts out will maintain her high quality and yet be different from the last, that's really exciting. Not many artists can make that kind of promise, but when Vivian does, you can trust her, and trust in her music. This CD is definitely a keeper.

I might have posted this album before ,oh well enjoi...

Wouldn't it be great to be famous, throw a party, and invite all your favorite musicians to perform for you and your friends? Dave Chapelle thinks so, too, so he threw just such a party in the summer of 2005--in the Clinton Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY--and invited not only his friends but a whole bunch of people he didn't know. A self-professed hip-hop head, Chapelle asked some of the finest and most respected artists in the game--including the Roots, Black Star, Jill Scott, and Common--to provide the music for his little soiree.

There's very little thug or hardcore posturing present on any of these tracks (or in the film version of the Party directed by Michel Gondry). Instead, the hip-hop here is socially conscious, groove-oriented, and reflective of the old-school virtues of the hip-hop community. Jill Scott and Erykah Badu bring a taste of sharp-edged R&B to the proceedings, while Talib Kweli, Common, Mos Def, and Dead Prez keep the raps fluid and consistent throughout this dynamic, good-times throwback of a set.

You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here--FIREWATER is the grand finale for hip-hop partiers par excellence Tha Alkaholiks, who have been torching the candle from both ends since their 1993 debut, THA TRIFLIN' ALBUM. The infectious "The Flute Song" mixes a seductive Eastern motif with typical 'Liks drinking, smoking, and partying themes, while "Party Ya Ass Off" explains the group's decision to split and continue separate careers against a predictable background of mayhem. There's an attempt at a conventional vocal on "Poverty's Paradise," but the trio sound best on the more familiar territory of "Drink Wit Us," which runs down a comprehensive list of legendary hip-hop names who hang out with them, because "making funky music is a must"--and you can't argue with that.

While most artists out there portray an illusionary image from street thugs to dealing drugs, Shogunna paints a real picture of what he is and what he lives. Being caught up in the street life at a young age, all the surrounding experiences have befallen on Shogunna like a trial of tests. Gangs, guns, fights, jails, and a lifestyle of dangerous activity can push you to your limits. But you don’t go that route and expect to have it easy. In the end, it’s what you make out of it that defines your character. For Shogunna, picking up the pieces and trying to transform a painful past to a prospered future, is what defines him as a new person being reborn through redemption.

In early 2007, Shogunna put out an independent release called “Signed 2 the Streets”; an album showcase of artistic creativity, opening a window into his realm with all originally written & produced songs. It also defines his attitude in not having to succumb to industry trends of the moment, and to keep a raw and unfiltered soundscape that is true to his persona. A lot of critics can say, all the real G’s are either dead or in jail. Well, Shogunna has done his time and is now extending his lease on life through music. Shogunna is that deal.

The Esoteric Movement is a wonderful collaboration of true art and entertainment. It's not your classic, typical, mainstream R&B effort. Mr. Roberson actually put his personality and experience into this project. Tracks like "Please Don't Leave Me", "Crazy", "She Went Away" and "Woman", just to name a few, are incredible songs filled with spirit, intrigue and heartfelt effort. He's telling a story with this album; a story that enables us all to relate to him in some sense; a story that makes you feel like you've sat at a table with him before and whipped him in a game or two or three of spades...GO COP THE ESOTERIC MOVEMENT, by Sir Eric Roberson, you won't be sorry. No, it doesn't have R. Kelly's bass or Ludacris' thump, but what it does have is a constant melodic flow that allows one to relax, chill and appreciate true artistry the way R&B used to be.....

Scarface take us back to the fifth ward and also returns to rap a lot on his latest release MADE. Made is the usual formula that has made scarface a classic artist. 10 solid songs accompanied by an intro and outro. Scarface is the best when he is telling a gritty story in his rhymes, expressing his love for his religion, and just some downright gangster lyrics. Along with some solid beats this album is a winner. Scarface has been around since 86' so his consistency in making music is amazing. This album gets big support from me and is highly recommended.

Charli Baltimore is the best female rapper, hands down. Ever since her label went under, she has been severely slept on. Murder Inc. isn't doin' there job right. One listen to this album and you will see why no other female can touch her. If you don't have this album yet, then you better get it.

Carnage is a so-so release from Chaundon. I think the braggadocios rhymes are cool, but they'd probably sound better coming from someone more believable. It's not a bad album, but there was nothing on it that "wowed" me. I'd have to say it doesn't separate Chaundon from the rest of the pack either. You might love it right away, but after the new album buzz wears off, I can't imagine anyone reaching for this. I'd recommend giving this a listen before you actually pay for it.

Anyone who’s followed hiphop that reads a bit under the radar has been familiar with west coast regulars Strong Arm Steady. Strong Arm is literally assaulting the streets with endless promotion and mixtapes coming out left and right. Strong Arm wants to bring the West Coast mixtape scene, which at their own admittance is not the strongest, to the forefront and "The Collector’s Edition" is a best of, compiling their strongest material from late into one jampacked album. With Xzibit, literally everywhere you look whether it’s rambling on in deodarant commercials or hosting his own show, and underground staples, Phil Da Agony and Krondon; Strong Arm have quite the formidable crew.

The first thing that jumps out about this album is the fact that Supastition finally has production that will do his unique flow justice. Supa takes his listeners on a journey through everyday life with lyrics that are heartfelt and earnest. Whether he's asking his ex-girlfriend to take him back or recounting his journey to get signed you'll feel like you're standing right there with him through it all. With help from beatsmiths like Illmind, Nicolay, Jake One, Madwreck, and M-Phazes, the production has more meat for Supa to sink his teeth into this time around. Chain Letters is a nod to the true school while progressive in its attempt to return hip hop to its golden roots. Guests include Little Brother, Nonameko, D Minor, Seven, and Can Tell

Sometimes, every now and then a artist or a group will come out and their release is hyped up and then you get the CD and its mediocre or nothing that you expected it to be. Lucy Pearl, which is composed of, Raphael Saadiq, from Tony!Toni!Tone!fame, Dawn Robinson, from En Vogue fame, and Ali Shaheed Muhammad, from A Tribe Called Quest fame. Now if that's not a supergroup, then let me know what is. The debut CD from Lucy Pearl lives up to all expectations and then some. The music appeal is comparable to what a 2000 Tony!Toni!Tone! CD might have been. With Raphael Saadiq and Ali Shaheed Muhammad sharing most of the production duties, you'll be bouncing like "Check The Rhime", "Electric Relaxation" and "Award Tour" had you bouncing in A Tribe Called Quest's heyday. Most of the tracks on Lucy Pearl's CD are dance tracks, but that doesn't hurt anything. Raphael's and Dawn's vocals blend like they have been together in the same group for years. The best example of this, is the 1st single, that was also on the "Love And Basketball" soundtrack, "Dance Tonight". There are other gems as well: "Trippin'", "Can't Stand Your Mother", "Good Love", "La La", etc. The year 2000 has already had a few tight R&B CDs so far: D'Angelo, Amel Larrieux, Joe, Carl Thomas, Dwayne Wiggins, as well as, Ms. Braxton herself, but the vibe that Lucy Pearl has created will be hard to stop for many years to come. I haven't seen a combination this good since chicken and mambo sauce.

Between the Sheets is a 1983 album released by The Isley Brothers on their T-Neck imprint. Yielding the top ten singles, "Between the Sheets" and "Choosey Lover" including the radio hits "Let's Make Love Tonight" and "Ballad for the Fallen Soldier", the album gave the Isleys another platinum record. It was a series of lasts for the group: it was the last album to be released under the T-Neck name, the last album the group recorded for Epic, and the last time the 3 + 3 lineup recorded together. By the end of the year, younger brothers Ernie, Marvin and Chris Jasper left the group to form Isley-Jasper-Isley while Ronald, O'Kelly and Rudolph continued on as a trio. "Between the Sheets" has become a heavily sampled R&B classic as is "Choosey Lover", which was re-recorded by Aaliyah for her 1996 album, One In a Million & by Cleavland rap group Bone Thugs-n-Harmony for "Buddah Lovaz"
