Trey Songz - Look At Me Now (Trigga Mix)

Will Trey Songz ever stop doing covers? I'm not so sure he can do that.

I think its about time he just did his own material. His got enough money, material and everything else. Doing a Trigga Remix to Chris Brown's 'Look At Me Now' isn't gonna make him any bigger than what he is.

You decide on whether its good or not.

Starz ft J Stories - BattleField (CHAMPION RMX)!

Chipmunk and Chris Brown step aside. Welcome the new generation they call Starz and J-Stories.

Better than the original, 'Champion'. 'Battlefield' shows that you don't need big directors and fancy clothes. Without all the hype of a BIG name, this song still gets the message out.

Check out Starz ft J-Stories 'Battlefield'.

Wiley - Racist Or Opinionated?

Drama, controversial, rude and trouble-maker Wiley has leaked his track 'Tweet Back'.

Why is it coming across as if his defending himself? Wiley is always in 'twitter-beef' with everyone. Professor Green, Lady Ny, Chipmunk, Tinchy Stryder were all on his radar. Recently, its been R&B vocalist, Jay Sean. Not only did he attack him on his 'grind' but Wiley took it a step further and mentioned his race (Indians).

Will Wiley ever stay hush and do what he loves, his music? Or will he forever have something to say about music/artists? (Hmmmm sounds like someone I know).

Listen to 'Tweet Back' and let me know your views.

N-Dubz - Are They Falling?

N-Dubz, the most talked about trio in the music scene. Young, talented and always stay true to who they are. Has that changed now?

'Morning Star' is their new and very dance-like song. Is it what I expected them to release? No. Do I like N-Dubz for being REAL and 'Grime-y'? Yes. Am I disappointed by this song? Of course. Are they still going to do well in the charts? Definitely.

Wheres the Mc'ing? Dappy's voice might be annoying to some, but the fella is different. When I think of the trio, I think Grime-Pop. Which is what I like about them. They are not afraid of flipping and changing their music and breaking their boundaries. But 'Morning Star' is not a territory they should of touched.

Talking is what Fazer and Dappy are doing. Sounding like a drunk Aggro Santo's isn't a good look for them. I'm very glad Tulisa has a lot more to do on this track than she normally has but lets be honest, she's repeating the same line's in the song.

Lets hope this is a side they will stay way clear off. I am an unhappy man but I'll get over it.
For all you N-Dublets out there, 'Morning Star' will be released on 14th March 2011.

Willow Smith's Taking Over!

Any spawn of Will Smith or Jada Pinkett is a walking, talented being. After Jaden's movie debuts and taking his fathers steps as a rapper to feature on Justin Beiber's Never Say Never, for the movie 'Karete Kid'. Was there any surprise that his little sister Willow, was going to be in the industry too?

Signed to Roc Nation, this little girl has already been the talk of the town. 'Whip My Hair', her first single, had every one's mouth wide open. So far being called 'the young Rihanna', the youngest soloist in history to ever have a Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. Not bad for a 10 year old.
It doesn't stop there. Willow is set to play the main role in hit musical Annie. Movie heavyweight Will Smith - is 'exploring with Sony the potential' for the film, according to industry magazine, Variety. It just doesn't stop there. Jay-Z also has a say in this. Will Smith and rapper Jay-Z have collaborated before, co-producing the Broadway Fela!, which went on to win three Tony Awards. The pair are looking to repeat their success with the musical theatre genre, remaking 1982's 'Annie', a film based on the 1977 musical of the same name. The film, which marks the first feature film collaboration between the two, is being imagined as a star vehicle for Smith's 10-year-old daughter, Willow. Jay-Z has already invested in Willow's musical career; his record label Roc Nation produced her certified platinum single, "Whip My Hair."


Alexis Jordan VS Rita Ora!

There is no doubt that Roc Nation are always looking for fresh new talent to scoop up and sign. So when we heard that the beautiful Rita Ora and Alexis Jordan signed their life away, it was no surprise.

Who is Rita Ora though?

Born in Kosovo but moved to London with her parents and younger brother, Rita attended school and graduated at St Charles Sixth Form. She began acting and singing from a very young age and at the age of 14 she started taking it seriously. You're probably thinking 'Ive never heard or seen this chick'. And you're probably right. But, she did work with Craig David on 2 songs. Where's Your Love ft herself and Tinchy Stryder and Awkward with Craig and just her. (Very awkward as I myself have no recollection of these tracks whatsoever). After those 'Awkward' moments,she supposedly signed the deal with Roc Nation in 2008. I know your now thinking '08, 09, 2010 and now 2011, 'What was she doing all this time Capri?'. Well don't you stress your little brains. Rita Ora has been doing some bit of work I guess. OK, she features in Drake's Over. So she hasn't just been signed and doing nothing for years. Oh wait, she did an advert for Skullcandy Roc Nation Aviators Presents: Rita Ora.




Who is Alexis Jordan?

Alexis Jordan is an American singer-songwriter and actress from South Carolina, who rose to fame as a contestant on the first season of America's Got Talent in 06. When she didn't get far in the show, she started uploading video's of her singing covers on YouTube. Which got millions of views. The exposure let Jordan to the attention of production team Stargate and rapper Jay-Z, who both went on to sign her to their label, StarRoc/Roc Nation. Her debut single Happiness was released September 7th, 2010. It did very well in the US charts and reached top 5 in the UK. In fact, it did so well that it was certified platinum. Her new single 'Good Girl' will be available in all stores and download on February 20th, 2010. Not only can Alexis sing very well, she can also do a full out dance choreography, which is very clear in her new video.




Lets all remember that being signed doesn't mean your going to release something straight away. But then again, who knows what Jay-Z has planned for Rita Ora. All we can see is that Alexis Jordan is slowly but surely taking over the charts. Hopefully we will see Rita Ora's music very soon. Good luck to both women.

Go Home Britney!

There has been rumours that Britney Spears is meant to have a come back yet again after her sixth album 'Circus' didn't do as well as it was hoped for.

Everybody knows, the artist has been going through a lot, from a marriage break-up, kids custody and the shaving of her hair bald.

Can we deal with another let down? Get us so excited and just burst us? Can we, as Britney Fans (yes that includes me, WHAT?), still have faith in her like we did when she had epic albums such as 'In The Zone', 'Blackout', 'Circus' and even the crap one 'Womanizer' wasn't bad.

Well the pop star has announced the title of her seventh studio set via Twitter and posted the cover art, which, much like the artwork for her "Hold It Against Me Single," is a sexy closeup shot of Spears against a neutral background.

The album is set for release on March 15. Its first single, "Hold It Against Me" reached No. 1 on the Billboard's Hot 100 chart last month but quickly tumbled down the chart.
"I've poured my heart and soul into this album over the last 2 years," Spears tweeted of "Femme Fatale." "I've put everything I have into it. This album is for you, my fans, who have always supported me and have stuck by me every step of the way! I love you all!"

Could she be as good as before? Here's her in the 'Slave 4 U' video.
