Keri Hilson’s first album, In a Perfect World…, garnered plenty of buzz, though it didn’t quite achieve the sales expectations deserved or desired by parent label Interscope (Hilson is signed to producer Timbaland’s imprint, which is distributed by Interscope Records). That said, Hilson’s debut was certified gold, and she remains a fixture on Interscope with [...]

After three years since the album, “Sex, Love, & Pain”, label changing, and lots of leaked tracks (good ones, too), Tank is back with a hot, new album steaming up for those winter nights called “Now or Never”, the fourth installment and first on his label, Atlantic. Like always, Tank brings out and produce the [...]

He’s loud and fierce…and his newest album, “Apollo Kids,” is another Wu-Tang winner. “Purified Thoughts” is a great opener. The lyrics and production set the tone for the entire album. As usual, GZA and Killah Priest bring wisdom to [...]
Diddy – Last Train to Paris

Dirty Money (now renamed Diddy-Dirty Money….smh can the women get some shine?) consists of singers Kalenna & Dawn from Danity Kane “fame”. No doubt with Diddy as the headliner, everyone always tried to figure out just exactly what is Dirty Money. After all the awards show performances it seemed like they were just glorified backup [...]
