Crazy Britney Spears is back with her new single, “Gimme More,” produced by Nate “Danjahandz” Hills, who has been responsible for large contributions to Nelly Furtado’s Loose and Justin Timberlake’s FutureSex/LoveSounds. From what I’ve heard about Britney’s project, the vast majority of the material will sound like this – sexy, pop, techno Euro-influenced dance beats that require little-to-no vocal ability. I’m eager to hear what else Britney’s got in store for us this time around. I know that she’s worked with The Clutch, as well as Danjahandz. I’m just waiting to see what Britney’s going to come back looking like.
Heard that rumor about her opening or closing the VMA’s this year? Be afraid. Be very afraid…
Keyshia Cole – Shoulda Let You Go (full) – listen
Even though we posted this in the Hot or Not section of our site, I’m posting this again because that was a radio rip, and this is a CD quality version of the song. It has actually grown on me a lot, since listening to it a couple of times. I still want Keyshia to find some versatility with her topics. I think that this new album, Just Like You is going to be a good look for her, though. I’m pretty excited to hear the rest of the material, considering the people she’s working with.
Razah – Rain (full) – listen
We did another Hot or Not post about this young man not too long ago, with his single, featuring Rihanna. Even though I wasn’t digging it, I think I like this song a little better. There’s nothing spectacular about his voice or even the production, it’s nothing to write home about. But I don’t hate it. It’s nice a background music for something. Just not something I’m jumping out of my seat about. I’m glad he’s got other material coming out though.
Boris Kodjoe and his wife Nicole Ari Parker were spotted picking up some dry cleaning in Hollywood earlier today. Boris & Nicole who have two children together, met and fell in love on the set of the critically acclaimed series, Soul Food.

Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans on August 29, 2005 and the rest is history. Yesterday marked the two year anniversary of this environmental and governmental disaster. Our hearts go out to everyone who was effected by Katrina’s wrath.
After the cut, I attached a two clips from Spike Lee’s Emmy Nominated Documentary, When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts. It premiered to critical acclaim on HBO last year. This documentary was EXCELLENT and if you haven’t had a chance to view it yet, you need to. Check out HBO.COM for more info.
