[Video] “They Don’t Know” – Chris Brown ft. Aaliyah

Not a new song. I may have even posted about this already. Nonetheless, I absolutely LOVE this track from Chris Brown featuring the late r&b princess, Aaliyah. Just listening to the vocals, I would assume the video would be different. Not that it ruined the message for me, but I’m not sure what this video has to do with the song. But then again, CB directed it. Well I mean if you look at it from the perspective of stopping violence, I guess.. I’m talking too much. Enjoy the song and video after you read more.

New Video: Chris Brown – “Fine China”

Check out Chris Brown’s new music video “Fine China”. As an intro to his sixth studio album “X”, Brown has decided to release a series of 10 music videos – as an ode to the album title. “Fine China’s” video and song composition is clearly inspired by the late great King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

“Everything You Want” – Vertical Horizon

When you don’t have the words… Vertical Horizon does!

“He says all the right things, at exactly the right time… but he means nothing to you, and you don’t know why…”

Let me tell you about music. There is a song that can relate to every issue, non-issue and circumstance imaginable. Which serves as a deeper connection between people of all cultures and backgrounds; we are all going through the same shit at some point.

 

DIVA: Female Version of a…

So DOPE isn’t the word…probably not FRESH either. HYPE? Nah…

Lets try FI-YAH (that’s my new word for anything beyond fabulous, miraculous, phenomenal, all that). Get it? Cool.

Ok..so there are a lot of young artists out there doing there thing right now, but none like Ms. Lil Ma Smith. Born Lea Nicole Smith, in Torrance, California, she moved to Detroit in 1994, where her love for the business of entertainment began to manifest. At the age of 20, Ms. Smith (a fricken scholarship awarded, college student I may add) is a veteran to the game, performing locally and abroad.newlilma3

I had a chance to chop it up with her a few weeks ago, and she gave me a little incite on her new album. She is releasing an album this summer called “Lemonade”. The name is a little strange but, it has a story behind it…

“Me and my mother were tossing different names back and forth and couldn’t decide on one. She finally said, “If you don’t come up with a name, in a minute I’mma call this album Lemonade”. I thought about it and decided that Lemonade was very fitting for the album because of the message and story behind the songs. This album is all about real accounts of relationships and different guys that I’ve dealt with who have all in a sense been, “lemons”, who could have otherwise left a bitter and sour taste in my mouth, but instead I took these situations and made “Lemonade”. So, that’s where the name comes from.” -Lea

Sounds amazing to me!

Ms. Smith is basically revamping her entire image at the moment, relinquishing old stage names such as Lil Ma and Lil Mama.  Currently she is trying to decide on a new single between her songs “Gentleman” or “Stick Up“. I personally eff with Gentleman, but check out both songs and drop a little comment to help her with that…PLEASE and THANK YOU 🙂

Also for a little more information about this talented beauty visit her web page: Ms. Smith, or her myspace: Lil Ma aka Ms. Smith!

Talent, Brains and Beauty! She definitely gets my stamp of approval 🙂

Another Bei Maejor Production!

Just wanted to give quick recognition to my boy Bei Maejor for all the hard work, and amazing effort he han2334220_41983661_8601s put forth thus far in the music industry. I mentioned him in an earlier post, credited with producing Letoya Lucketts single “Not Anymore”.

Now I was doing my routine people search (it get’s boring here in the big EL…lol), and I found a cool article on Bei.
