Im Coming Out

So I've been hiding my love for Jasmine Sullivan for awhile now. When she first came onto the scene-way back when she was doing underground music I use to not give her-her life. It seemed as if everybody was on her coat tale so I chose to be different. And it's not like I had bad things to say about JS but I didn't get life. She wasn't cunt enough for me. But baby, I just got her album Fearless and it's a fool wit it. I can't stop listening. JS is talking real shit and I live for it. And that's when I realized she isn't that type of artist to dance and swing her hair on stage, she just sings for the Gods and Im so inlove with it.

My favorite tracks on the album in order-Live A Lie, One Night Stand, My Foolish Heart, Switch, Lions, Tigers & Bears, Bust Your Windows, Call Me Guilty.

iTunes has her album for only 7 bucks and some change, go buy it.

It's Actually Good

Ok so I've never been a Donnie Klang fan, like many I thought he was corny but his debut album "Just A Rolling Stone" is a solid effort with bangin tracks-finally some good music. I really hope that you guy's DON'T sleep on it, I'll admit the promotion could've been better but he has delivered. I won't even insult him by comparing him to the obvious but I ask that you go purchase his album-get the deluxe version on iTunes-if you're into good music.

My favorite tracks-the whole album-literally.

Songs on repeat- "Dr.Love" "Which One", "Love In Stereo", "You're My Idol", "Catch My Breath", "Pick It Up", "Hurt That Body", "Bedroom".

Phresh Prince

Most would be surprised or even shocked at what's in my iPOD, I keep it hood, not to many chicks get play in my touch. This one song that I've been jamin for awhile now is "Beast" by Phresh Prince-Prince is a young kat from nyc that's on his hustle. He's working on his album and trying to locate that perfect record deal. Phresh also hopes to develop his own clothing line ( plz let me have a hand in that ) and create a team to join his movement called "Phresh Republik". I respect a young hustle, and his music is good, love his beats so he's definitely a breath of Phresh air.

The Musical : Ciara "High Price"-Full Version

Im so not a fan of Ciara but since her performance with Chris Brown at this years B.E.T. Awards Im a stan for her sexiness. That woman's body is on point aka the shit aka FIERCE ( a late term but hey people still use it ). Here's the full version of "High Price"-finally. Although there are mixed reviews on the pitch in which Ciara sings I think it's cunt and fantastic-since I been livin in the A I got that southern swagg down packed ya heard!!
