NEW VIDEO: Lady Leshurr - Lego!

Female UK MC's I kind of feel like are lacking a certain something. Their usually seen as trying to be like boys lyrically and looks or their flow is weak. Lady Leshurr just might of found the right flavour to be just as good as a male MC and still look good.

Her new video 'Lego' very much reminds me of a low budget Missy Elliott video, not to be taken the wrong way because that is actually a compliment in itself.

Its innovative, daring and different to what were used to seeing currently. The video starts of OK but half way through, it gets very entertaining. Dressed as a boxer, jailbird, superhero and chilling with two martians on a field, 'Lego' has elements of US flavour from the likes of Chris Brown's 'Look At Me Now' and Missy Elliott's 'Get Ur Freak On'.

If Lady Leshurr carries out the same streak as 'Lego' then I'm sure this MC will be bigger than what she is at the moment. I, for sure, will be purchasing this track and probably be imitating some of the choreography in the video.

Watch 'Lego' By Lady Leshurr and let me know your thoughts.

NEW VIDEO: Ne-Yo Ft. Trey Songz & T-Pain - The Way You Move!


A dapper Ne-Yo hits the strip club with his fellow gentlemen Trey Songz and T-Pain in the sensual video for 'The Way You Move' a single off DJ Boy Wonda’s upcoming mixtape Tough.

NEW MUSIC: Justin Bieber & Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You RMX!

A song that was released when the Biebster was less than one, he is now singing alongside Mariah Carey on her Christmas hit 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'.

This super festive remake features on his festive album Under The Mistletoe, stays true to the original, with Mariah opening the song and the teen idol coming in on the second verse.

Is this a good collaboration or did Justin ruin it for you? Let me know what you think.

NEW VIDEO: Beyonce Ft. J.Cole - Party!

Beyonce recently has been releasing video's like a cat shooting out kittens. The same thing she did when she released her album BDay.

She yet again released a video to her summer jam 'Party'. Originally the track featured Andre 3000 who got replaced by J.Cole in the video. I'm not so sure that was a good idea as I personally preferred Andre's verse better.

Is Queen Bey releasing all these video's to distract us from her so called 'fake' pregnancy? While everybody is so excited and anticipating for her next video, for all we know, her and Jigga man could be in Africa some where looking for a baby to bleach and call it their own. I wouldn't be surprised if they announce that she gave birth in the middle of the night some where in her house in the company of her beloved husband and mother with no other witnesses.

Any ways, here is the video to 'Party' featuring J.Cole. Let me know what you think.

The Collective Ruined Teardrop!

Some things are made to be covered, and some songs are made to never be touched because it is amazing in its original concept.

I am aware that The Collective have come together for a good cause but to cover Massive Attack's 'Teardrop' for me wasn't at all necessary.


I'm not even sure that artists such as Dot Rotten, Tinchy Stryder and Mz Bratt even know about 'Teardrop' for them to be even covering it.

Regardless, it isn't great and it deeply hurts me that good artists such as Ms Dynamite, Gary Barlow and Labrinth would agree to do the song even if it is for a charity.

Its a shame.

Bruno Mars Bags 106 & Park's Rocsi Diaz!

When I usually hear about what celeb is dating who? I really don't get shocked about it. By now we are used to hearing strange duo's. But Bruno Mars and the beautiful 106 & Parks presenter Rocsi Diaz dating has to be for me the most weirdest couple since Jermaine Dupri and Janet Jackson.

Supposedly Mars and Diaz have been dating for a while and have kept their relationship under wraps. According to the New York Post, the two are said to have hit it off when Bruno appeared on 106 & Park last December and have been in contact since. Things are said to have heated up in the last few months, and have recently made a few public outings.

Now, how many women out there would 'out' their relationship with the 4ft nothing singer? I doubt many women would, but then again, if Bruno took you shopping in Paris and Milan for his birthday like he did Rocsi, I'm sure you wouldn't mind being seen in public.

Representatives for both Bruno and Rocsi have declined to comment.

Behind The Video: Rihanna - We Found Love!

I absolutely cannot stress how much I am waiting for the release of this video. I feel like a kid in a car on his way to see his first musical.

Rihanna gets dirty while shooting the video for 'We Found Love', the first single from her upcoming album Talk That Talk, in Northern Ireland. The pop goddess dances in the mud and makes out with her co-star, British boxer-model Dudley O'Shaughnessy, in a vintage car in the behind-the-scenes footage. She filmed scenes in a fish and chips shop and open field, where she was asked to leave after removing her top.

I don't want to ruin it for you guys but just watch Part 1 of the behind the video and understand why I love this Basian diva so much.

NEW VIDEO: Miguel - Girls Like You!

'Girls Like You', a cut off Miguel's debut album titled All I Want Is You features a selection of eye candy in the video.

As the R&B crooner ignites the screen in his signature thick-framed glasses and glowing mic stand, he is surrounded by lights, smoke and super-hot women.

Already in the studio working on his second album which is supposedly due in March/April 2012. Its said to be a mixture of electronic hip-hop meets classic rock meets great songs.

Watch the alluring video of 'Girls Like You' and let me know your thoughts.

NEW VIDEO: Beyonce - Love On Top!

'Love On Top' from the album titled 4 is Beyonce's Australian single.

Shot at a studio overlooking New York City, Bey starts off dressed casual moving in perfect coordination with the fellas. The visuals suddenly switch to night as Beyonce lights up the space in various formal looks including a gold pantsuit, white suit, and finally a tuxedo complete with coattails, top hat, and cane. She rips through the exhilarating jam before yelling cut and just like that, returns to rehearsals.

Its a beautiful, chilled type of song. It makes me smile when I listen to it. Love the fact that the video isn't too much either otherwise it would of taken the shine away from the song itself. Confusing little bit is that the male dancers doing the backing vocals who are sung by women. Why not just get female dancers to mime the female backing vocals?

Watch Beyonce's 'Love On Top' video and let me know your thoughts.

Beyonce's Fake Baby Bump!

There has been speculation and rumours flying around that Queen Beyonce's pregnancy just might not be real. And you guys know that I will always bring you the correct information.

Beyonce was in Australia on Sunday doing a TV show interview, and when she went to sit down her 'bump' folded in a weird way. Now we all know that when a pregnant woman takes a seat, she tends to struggle and look very awkward. In this case, the pop diva took her hot seat without any problem.

Now I know you may be thinking 'maybe she's different' and you have every right to be questioning why a world known superstar would be faking her pregnancy.

The other day I was watching the fabulous Wendy Williams show where she also was questioning Bey's pregnancy. A whole show just dedicated to Beyonce's Conspiracy Pregnancy, Wendy brought out 2 pregnant staff and asked them to sit down to see if their bump folded the same way Beyonce's did and she also lists 5 reasons as to why the pop diva would fake her pregnancy.

Watch the clip of Wendy Williams show speaking of the crazy controversy.

NEW VIDEO: Etta Bond Ft. Labrinth - Forgiveness LIVE!

Seems like this brand new artist has been woo'ing everybody with her smooth but edgy vocals and there is no stopping her yet.

Etta Bond features on Wretch32's Black & White album on the Labrinth produced track 'Forgiveness'. Performing at the best music event in London Wired, Etta performs her version of 'Forgiveness' alongside her friend Labrinth.

An emotional yet tense performance, she shows us what 'feel good music' is about. I was very glad to be in the audience to witness such an amazing talent take place.

NEW VIDEO: XO Man Ft. Mikill Pane, Master Shortie & Sincere - Follow Fashion!

The friendly giant also known as XO Man has finally released his official video to 'Follow Fashion' featuring Mikill Pane, Master Shortie and Sincere.

After watching the documentary to this song, I was praying that the UK rapper would surprise me with the official video and try stay away from the typical 'urban' type of video.

XO Man has been on the grind and hustle for some time now and all his hard work is paying off very well. The 'Follow Fashion' video is explanatory in itself. Its about being different and XO Man along with his featuring rappers, are different themselves in terms of style and music.

A stand-out guy with a stand out video, this South Londoner seems to have the right idea to break into this hard industry. But will he be too different for the consumers or is he just different enough to be accepted? In due time and with more music, we will find out how far XO Man's journey will go.

NEW VIDEO: Labrinth Ft. Tinie Tempah - Earthquake!

Labrinth is back with another hit featuring his co-d Tinie Tempah on the track 'Earthquake'.

With a futuristic sound and an out of this world video, Labrinth is here to take over the charts.

Watch the video and let me know what you think.

REVIEW: Demons Never Die Movie!

On Monday I was invited to the premier of British horror film, Demons Never Die who I attended with the beautiful singer, Selah.

Originally called Suicide Kids, the film follows eight very different London students who have all made a pact to end their lives together. But as members of the group begin to die one by one, they all realise that they are the target of a masked killer.

Executive produced by Luther/The Wire star Idris Elba and directed by Arjun Rose, the film which is released on the 28th of this month stars Tulisa Contostavlos, Misfits Robert Sheehan, Jason Maza, Jennie Jacques and Shanika Warren.

What Demons Never Die swiftly and successfully does is showcase a team of ten or so fine British actors and actresses. Despite boasting a wide and varied cast, the movie gives the talent enough space to breathe and ignite with the split screen and group scenes near the beginning, which is notably refreshing.

Although I personally don't feel like I got to know the characters individually, the different personalities are immediately likable. Leading man Robert Sheehan as the charmer and his on screen girlfriend Jasmine played by Jennie Jaqcues holds an altogether impressive and concrete performance throughout the film and tackles the films more dramatic scenes with confidence.

Only known for Hollyoaks, Emma Rigby plays a bulimic model called Samantha. TV/Radio personality Reggie Yates and 'Outcasts' Ashley Walters play two detectives who I thought weren't really that convincing. Their an odd pair to be taken their roles seriously.

Jason Maza and Jacob Anderson's comedic abilities pretty much dominated the audience, with Maza going from Jack-the-lad Kenny to demented, dead serious Kenny. Anderson's character was mostly stoned which could of been one dimensional but he manages to breathe some genius into it.

The film deals with some very loaded themes and starts off as a dark, individual quirky look into the real reasons why people feel that killing themselves is the only way out of the pain they are in but then forks off into a range of influences, jumping from genre to genre, from audience to audience quickly losing any original voice it hinted at having. Before you know it the movie begins to feel somewhat unfathomable and despite the serious subject matter, superficial or forced.

The film could of easily shown a mesh of fantasy horror and a dramatic street life, the disparate, undecided execution of the movie leaves the foundation of the film choppy and unfluid leaving no space to create a real intent, or a sustained simmering on top in order for the horror promised to really take it’s place. So Demons Never Die ends up having no angle of its own, which a film like this could have really ran with.

For example, the relationship between Archie and Jasmine is sadly never believable as anything more than a friendship, because the relationship development which should happen, can’t happen whilst the script (and soundtrack) is attempting to tick all of it’s audience boxes.

This is particularly evident in the film’s last two thirds, with there being something for everyone: Skins fans, Adulthood/Kidulthood/Anuvahood fans, Twilight fans, Final Destination/Scream fans, Blair Witch Project fans…we also get some American Pie scenes. All of this cutting and pasting starves any suspense and drama of room to organically grow and bites at the original flow the film could have easily followed.

As for the killer, it showed no explanation as to why they were committing such crimes. In Scream, we all know why the killer was a killer. Either they did the killing because of revenge or it was re-creating the murders and in Demons Never Die, I kind of missed that.

After being confused and left blank by certain scene's, the film carries a particular energy and the twist at the end of the movie does have the desired effect, only because after the main antagonism at the end is done with, the space, which should have existed throughout the picture briefly, appears here.

I would still purchase this film on DVD and I do recommend others to see it and judge it for themselves. Out of 5 I would give it a 3 and that's only because 2 and a half seems slightly harsh.

Demons Never Die is out on 28th October.

NEW VIDEO: Kelly Rowland Ft. Big Sean - Lay It On Me!

X-Factor judge Kelly Rowland has released the video to 'Lay It On Me' featuring rapper Big Sean. Rowland has taken the meaning to 'sex sells' on a whole new level.

Naked men, big elephants and skimpy clothes, the video just turns you on. 'Lay It On Me' off her latest album Here I Am, is set to hit the charts high.

This is the perfect time for Kelly to make her mark whilst her pop queen cousin Beyonce is more likely to take a step back as she is pregnant with her first child for hubby Jay Z.

Watch the video to 'Lay It On Me' and let me know your thoughts.

NEW VIDEO: Adele - Someone Like You!

Adele has finally released the video to her hit 'Someone Like You'.

The classic, simple black and white video shows of the singer walking through the streets, mourning the demise of her relationship. She looks absolutely stunning.

In the States, Adele is the first female British solo singer in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 to have two number ones from the same album and the track ‘Someone Like You’ has gone on to sell over 1,000,000 downloads in the US alone.

Watch 'Someone Like You' and let me know what you think.

Tupac's Sex Tape!

Even the 'dead' seem to have sex tapes dropping. As if Tupac filmed a sex tape in 1991 and only NOW the person who claims has it, wants to release it?

The clip, was obtained by TMZ who believe that it is in fact Tupac in the video. The website reports that the rapper walks into a room filled with groupies, and has his trousers down to his ankles before a woman performs oral sex on him. They also claim that an unreleased song is playing in the background while Tupac dances and "wiggles" his hips. 

Supposedly while 'Pac is rapping and dancing, the woman doesn't stop giving him oral sex. Talk about being hungry.

The person in possession of the tape is planning to release it, although it is not known whether they are hoping to sell it.

Dappy - Attention Seeker!

While nearly all of us have been shocked this year by many celeb pics in the nude being leaked such as Chris Brown and Aston (JLS) Merrygold, it was even more shocking to find out that N-Dubz frontman Dappy also had full nude pics leaked, or so we thought.

Dappy's girlfriend Kaye has revealed that he asked her to leak his nude photo online as he felt he needed to "prove a point."

"It's 100% real. I should know - I took it on my phone in my room," Kaye told Heat magazine. "And I'm the one who put it on the internet."

Kaye has also revealed that, because the other male artists size of their winky was being ridiculed, he thought he needed to show everyone that he is way bigger than them in the trouser department.

"He wanted me to leak the photo of him, because, you know people had leaked pictures of Chris Brown and Aston from JLS and they both had little winkle-pops, so he just felt he had to prove a point."

I've already got problems with Kaye being this overly hyper-active chick that's always causing trouble and never keeping her mouth shut about what her mouth needs to be shut about. Why would you go to the papers and expose your partner? Lets say yes he did tell you to leak it... So?

Any ways, I'm not sure if it did have any affect on his career or the release of his single 'No Regrets'. PR stunt maybe? Meh, who cares.

NEW VIDEO: Chingy - Paperman!

Been away for so long, Chingy has come back with this new track and video 'Paperman' which is off his EP Still Breathing.

The St.Louis rapper best known for his hits such as 'Right Thurr' and 'Holidae Inn', chases his paper around his ‘hood of Walnut Park. Ching-a-Ling is now independently signed and working on his next album No Risk No Reward.

Will 'Paperman' receive the same welcome as his 2003 hits have? Its a cool song but the video is what I was very much disappointed with. Talking about money and calling yourself a 'Paperman' but yet your video looks like it was filmed using a mobile phone. Slightly ironic that isn't it?

I would still download this as it would just be something I can clean my 'crib' too.

Watch the video to Chingy's 'Paperman' and let me know your thoughts.



NEW VIDEO: Drake - Headlines!

The real is on the rise. Drake puts on the gloves and gets back to business in the video for 'Headlines', the first single from his sophomore album Take Care, due October 24. The fast-paced clip, co-directed by Lamar Taylor and Hyghly Alleyne, was filmed in various locations throughout his hometown of Toronto.

The Young Money rapper rounds up his OVO crew in front of the historic Guild, shows off his stable of Range Rovers, takes the field at Toronto’s Rogers Centre as Take Care lights up the marquee, and toasts to the good life over a lavish dinner (sweater swag and cigar in full effect). Drizzy’s back baby.

NEW VIDEO: Beyonce - Countdown (Preview)!

She has only given us a 38 second sneak peek preview clip for her 3rd single 'Countdown', off her latest album 4.

Beyonce, the pregnant diva channels screen siren Audrey Hepburn in a black turtleneck, turns her body into a human clock, and rocks colorful leotards in the Adria Petty-directed clip, which debuts in full on Thursday.

I know many Beyonce fans are very muck looking forward to this video as we all know, there just might not be more to come for a while. Still, she looks good and I think the fans can hold out for a bit.

Watch the preview for 'Countdown' and let me know your thoughts.

NEW VIDEO: Jessie J - Who You Are!

Jessie J weathers the storm in her new video for 'Who You Are', the empowering ballad off her debut album of the same name.

The Essex songbird, who had to pull out of her U.S. tour with Katy Perry due to her foot injury, stares into the camera as she belts in her bedroom. Raindrops start to fall before building into a torrential downpour, but a soaking wet Jessie perseveres, emerging stronger than ever.

Watch her make it through the rain and let me know your thoughts.
