J. Cole – Problems [DOWNLOAD]

Steveybaby back with another drop before I call it a night.  This time I thought I’d post a Rap track instead of the usual R&B posts.   J.Cole went in on this track as expected, believe or not I couldn’t believe the hype on this kid.  Heard things like J.Cole > Drake but honestly I’d prefer Drake only cause of his ability to drop R&B tracks haha but don’t get me wrong J.Cole is pretty high on my list as well!  With that said, listen to the track and enjoy because you never know when I’ll strike back again.  (:  SB

You Were Mine [DOWNLOAD]

SB checking back in after a long absent, only to let Chris know how great the layout has been looking!  Keep it up C, I see you boy continuing to do big things!  Figured I’d make a drop as well since I’m on the site.  This is not a permanent stay as I tend to disappear every now and then (:

Matt Cab is back with another one!  After releasing his covers of hit songs on Youtube winning over hearts of all the females, he just launched his new single over in Japan!  The single has just reached #3 onto the Japan’s itunes top r&b list.  Be sure to check out You Were Mine as well.  SB 10/10

Diddy, Rick Ross, Janelle Monae, Dawn, Kalenna, Cassie & Red Cafe cover the new August/September issue of Vibe. The females of Bad Boy look pretty good repping the androgynous style.

Here are a few excerpts from the Q&A:

Dr. Dre said that the last beat that floored him was “All About the Benjamins.” How does that make you feel?
It’s humbling. I was in the studio with Dre the other day. He started working on a record for me. Watching him as a producer is watching greatness. We had a lot of similar traits. It was like looking in the mirror. He would ask questions like, “How you feel about this?” People don’t really understand true producers want to know how you feel about things. We are some of the most observant people on the planet.

What happened during the Martin Bashir interview on Nightline?
There were times in the interview when I had to give him an ultimatum. The questions weren’t being handled the right way. In hindsight, when I saw him I shouldn’t had done the interview because I know the style of interview that he does . . . The whole thing about giving a Maybach to my son, that’s really like a racist question. You don’t ask White people what they buy their kids. And they buy ‘em Porsches and convertible Bentleys and it ain’t no question. It’s really a racist question and put things back in perspective with money and the way that people still look at you. And I’m not saying that consciously he’s a racist. But he probably don’t even realize that he would not ask Steve Jobs that. He would be like Steve Jobs has that money and that’s the gift his kid is supposed to get.

Are the comments from Lil’ Kim about Nicki disheartening?
When I heard her say what she said, it didn’t really affect me. I didn’t get mad at her or anything like that. I knew how she felt. I ain’t agree with it. But also I know the motivation. I know that people say, “Oh, he’s trying to get a new Lil’ Kim.” I guess people will see in time. Yeah, Nicki’s had flavored wigs on, but besides that it ain’t even the same approach to the writing.

Natasha Kills – Mirrors [DOWNLOAD]

Natasha Kills has a very versatile and alternative sound that will become an instant crowd lover. She’s edgy, sexy and her voice is very like-able. Believe me, some singing voices can be annoying. Thank goodness she doesn’t have one of those annoying voices. This song was produced by Akon aka “Konvict”. She has a couple of other songs too; “Zombie” and “Activate My Heart” which are both good.
