NEW MUSIC: K. MICHELLE 'ANYBODY WANNA BUY A HEART' [FULL STREAM]

PHOTO CREDI: K. MICHELLE INSTAGRAM
This by far is K. Michelle's best album ever!!! I have never heard such a production like this since Beyoncé's '4' album. I thought this new album was going to be just like her last album, Rebellious Soul. I am totally wrong, the songs and lyrics on this album do not compare to her last.

DID YOU KNOW FABOLOUS IS SIGNED TO ROC NATION?! 

In over five years newly Roc Nation/Desert Storm rapper Fabolous is readying the release of his upcoming album The Young OG Project. The album is scheduled for release this christmas. What is up with these artists and special release dates?!

Don't think Fab isn't releasing an album without a single behind it. The leading single for the album "Lituation" will be averrable to stream and download on iTunes on December 15. There's no word on any music video filmed but Fab has dropped the trailer for his new album via Keek

NEW MUSIC: TEAIRRA MARI 'DESERVE'

PHOTO CREDIT: TEAIRRA MARI INSTAGRAM
Not to be mistaken for Momma Dee's "I Deserve", this one actually sounds better.

Yesterday happened to be Teairra Mari's 27th birthday and as a gift to herself and for the fans, she dropped the full version of her song she created with Yung Berg "Deserve". The song was heard and performed on this week's episode of Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood

This may be the comeback song for Teairra Mari beings though she is now a free agent looking for a home to call her own. Would have been a dumb mistake to throw the song away if she had decided to reunite with ex bff/castmate Hazel E. Yung Berg is really the hit maker, I think he saved Teairra with this one.

Get Into "Deserve" & Let Me Know What You Think

Don't Like How She Dropped A Song Via Soundcloud & It's Not On iTunes For Download...YET. The Blogs That Are Music Pirates Are Going To Have A Field Day With This...TEAIRRA RELEASE THIS ON iTUNES NOW!

NEW VIDEO: JAZMINE SULLIVAN 'FOREVER DON'T LAST'


I hope we all haven't forgotten about Jazmine Sullivan's powerful voice?!

Her third album Reality Show got pushed back so much it's kind of hard for us not to forget about Jazmine Sullivan. Especially when she's already taken a long break from the industry. Through a break and many push backs we can say Jazmine Sullivan sings and delivers. Just as she does for the new video for her second single "Forever Don't Last". The beautiful video is directed by Jazmine herself with her mother.

SLEEK AUDIO VS. 50 CENT RESULTS IN A FROZEN BANK ACCOUNT

PHOTO CREDIT: XXLMAGAZINE
Tsk Tsk Tsk Mr. 2 Quarters, This is what happens when you take an idea and try to profit it for yourself. 

Rapper 50 Cent (estimated worth $140 million) is in big trouble with audio headphone company Sleek Audio. I guess the headphones industry is where it's at (hence: BEATS). The company filed a major $17.5 million judgement against 50 Cent in which the courts sided with the company. 

Sleek Audio fights 50 Cent stole their design and he tried to runaway and market it himself with the idea. Apparently the two had came in terms with a marketing deal but 50 allegedly had another agenda up his sleeve. However, since 50 Cent didn't pay the $17.5 million judgement, the company has every right to garnish his wages and freeze his account (PERSONAL). 

Not a bother by the fiasco at all, only 50 Cent's personal account has been frozen but he still has access to his assets and business bank accounts. The man does have money and he's from the streets. I wouldn't be surprised if 50 steered away from paying Sleek Audio and  continued hustling his money into his pockets. 

Welp! Call That STUNT 101.

TASTY TUESDAY: SUNNY'S CEREAL CONFETTI COOKIES

PHOTO CREDIT: FOOD NETWORK
Tis' the season to stock your dining room with christmas cookies delight. 

The holidays are all about tasty treats and satisfying meals. I'm one who loves to have a little bit of treats in a jar or bin to help bring in the holiday spirit when I'm not cooking. I've always been a cookie type of guy. Especially chocolate chip and sugar cookies. 

I came across Food Network's own Sunny Anderson's beautifully presented 'Sunny's Cereal Confetti Cookies' and I just thought I had to share with you all. The fact that it's already sugar cookies but with a bit of Fruity Pebbles cereal (which happens to be my favorite) just got me excited to bake and try. 

I incorporated M&Ms in my chocolate chip cookies but I never once thought to add cereal to the mix. I can't wait to try the cookies once I bake them and share them with you all. Have you ever done this before? What type of treats do you keep around during the holidays? 

For The Recipe Continue After The Jump!

NICKI MINAJ 'THE PINKPRINT' TRACKLISTING


Slated for a December 15th release date, Nicki Minaj yesterday released the official track listing for her third album and might we say the features on this album just might make it album of the year come 2015. Nicki teams back up with Ariana Grande, Lil Wayne, Drake, Chris Brown, Beyoncé and more this third time around. Only thing is most of the songs are the singles that have been released already. I wish there were more songs on this album. 

NEW VIDEO: TREY SONGZ FEAT. NICKI MINAJ "TOUCHIN, LOVIN"


You have never seen an interactive video such as the one you're about to see! 

Trey Songz dropped the engaging visual for his new video "Touching, Lovin" feat. Nicki Minaj yesterday and this video is nothing like we've ever gotten from Trigga himself. This video invites us into his wildest fantasies. 

In the video it's your destiny to choose which fantasy sequence Trey  goes on from a selection of hand pick gorgeous women. Nicki Minaj does serve in the video as the main sexy seductress. However, if you thought soft porn was wasn't intense then you'd might want to coin question this video. The elements of the video are sexually appetizing I shall say. 

Who knew Trey Songz had such a wild animalistic fantasy?! If you want to know what I'm talking try taking your own conquest in Trey Songz's new video for "Touchin,Lovin".

NEW VIDEO: GWEN STEFANI 'SPARK THE FIRE'

COMING SOON: THE REAL LATAVIA (A MINI WEB SERIES)

As if R&B Divas: Atlanta wasn't a great enough platform to showcase who she is. 

Original Destiny's Child member LaTavia Roberson, earlier this year appeared on TVOne's 'R&B DIVAS: Atlanta' and gave us NOTHING. We hardly got to know who LaTavia really is besides being a new single mother and friend to the ladies of the cast. Latvia barely sang on any of the episodes unless the ladies forced her to, which she was hesitant then. 

LaTavia, last week dropped a trailer to what seems to be a "reality show" web series on YouTube about who she is, what she does, learning all the rumors up and her reasoning as to why she doesn't sing when asked or invited to. I don't have a problem with LaTavia and this web series, but you were given a major platform to showcase all of that and you didn't execute. Now you want another chance to prove who you are?

Hmm, I don't know about this one. I know I'll be watching just to see what LaTavia will give. I've been rooting for her ever since her departure from Destiny's Child. The woman can sing, I just don't know why she shuns herself from the world so tightly. The trailer is a bit funny to watch though.

ERICA MENA TATTOOS BOW WOW'S NAME ON HER!!!

Bow Wow took to his Facebook account to post a picture of him and his new fiancé Erica Mena, to announce how she's a real ride or die chick by getting his name tatted on her. The photo's caption by Bow Wow (Shad Moss) reads: "Love this woman so much! She You know its real when the ink dry. Tatted my name so i know its real! Saturday's w/ the misses!". If all it takes is a tattoo to show loyalty and love then where do I sign up to get my family member's names tatted on me?!

Erica Mena, is no stranger when it comes to tattooing her man's name on her body. This isn't shocking news nor is it a jaw dropper. Remember when she got Rich Dollaz name tatted on her hand on an episode of 'Love and Hip Hop' just last year? Then she got it covered up on VH1's 'Black Ink'. No photo of the tattoo has been posted yet, but stay tuned because I will be one of the first to post it.

Wendy Williams was alright as a host though she didn't put on her controversial persona but yet simply cute and entertaining talk show host persona. No drama was necessary for a night like that. Triple threat Chris Brown opened the show taking us back to his early hits and ending it with his current hits. You would have thought he was headlining for the Superbowl. Chris Brown still has it vocals and dance moves and all.

JANAY RICE SPEAKS TO ESPN FOR AN INTERVIEW [VIDEO]


WHY ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT THE RAY RICE SITUATION?!

Ray Rice's suspension has been lifted from the NFL leaving him as  free agent. I wonder what team will decide to sign the former Baltimore Ravens running back. Remember earlier this year the young  rich athlete struck headlines when video footage showed him knocking his then finance out cold in casino elevator? Well if you don't remember or aren't familiar the video is everywhere online. Flashing forward, throughout all the backlash and ridicule Ray and Janay have faced, the two decided to get married. 

Last month, ESPN journalist Jemele sat down with Janay Rice, where she finally opens up about the incident, how she and her family felt, Ray's acknowledgement to the situation and where they stand now as a family. To Janay's defense she simply explains everyone is not perfect and they have moved forward since the incident, but she won't able cope with being coined a "victim" of domestic violence.

Waiting For A Reality Show With These Two!!! 

If you don't love Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union's relationship then you must be out of your mind. The two have always had a cute and silly relationship that just makes you saw awe at any moment. 

After Sunday nights intense Miami Heat vs. the New York Knicks game, Gabrielle Union video bombed her husband's interview to highlight his high and low points of the game. Though she was teasing him, we know it was all out of love. 

It was Wade's first game back after suffering a hamstring injury. Wade scored an amazing 27 points in the game which ended up in a defeat from the Miami Heat to the New York Knicks in a score of 86-79, close game!

NEW VIDEO: DIGGY SIMMONS 'HONESTLY' [VIDEO]


IS IT ME OR DOES DIGGY SIMMONS SOUNDS LIKE DRAKE?!

It's still hard to believe we all grew up with Rev Run's second eldest son Daniel 'Diggy' Simmons on the hit MTV show, Run's House. Who would have known Diggy would have branched off to become a rapper following the footsteps of his rapper pioneer dad Rev Run.


Diggy is back now with a new song that'll warm everyone's hearts. "Honestly" is a song in which the rapper confesses his love for his girlfriend telling her no matter what they go through good or bad, she's the girl he honestly wants and needs. It's always good to let your significant other know you honestly can't see yourself without them. I think it solidifies stability in the relationship, knowing the two of you will be together for a while or even years. 


Check Out The Video For Honestly. His EP 'Out Of This World' Is Coming Soon. 

NEW MUSIC: FRANK OCEAN "MEMRISE"

I memorized the wayward expressions
Never look down
Never let you see me down
I memorized the way no directions
Can I come over now
I’d like to stay a little while
I memorized your body exposed
I could fuck you all night long
From a memory alone 
I never forget a face
Don’t go plastic on me
Nothing’s set in stone
You’re not dipped in gold
Dipped in gold
You can’t breathe if you’re dipped in gold
You are not on paper
You are not a copy
You’re so, you’re so..so thick, so thick


Early Friday morning Frank Ocean released a two-minute song titled "Memrise" to his Tumblr page. Not sure if the song is a tease to a new album or single or just something he wrote and produced and decided to share with the world. 

However, Frank Ocean hasn't released any music since his 2012 incredible debut album, Channel Orange. Whatever the song decides to be it's not bad though it sounds like an unfinished product. Frank's lyrics never seem to fail the likes of people, it's relatable in every way.
