♫ HOT OR NOT: KEANTHONY – I THOUGHT ♫


♫ KeAnthony – I Thought

Meet KeAnthony. The Tennessee native is hitting the music scene with his new song, ‘I Thought‘, off of his debut album, A Hustla’z Story.

I Thought‘ is based on KeAnthony’s life growing up in the streest of Tennessee. His best friend got caught up and when faced with the possibility of an aggravated robbery charge, he turned KeAnthony in to the police, leading him to live the next eight years of his life behind bars.

The album is a self-written lyrical lullaby narrated by the singer. “It’s all reality to me,” he states. “I can’t sit down and write ‘I love you’ and not mean it. I write songs that deal with love and life.”

A Hustla’z Story features production from The Underdogs, Tank, and Scott Storch. Make sure you peep the video for ‘I Thought’ (featuring Tank) after the cut.

  2. Mimi

    I like the track a lot. I pray that he is extremely successful. I’m from the “LOW DOWN DIRTY” Tennessee and I feel his pain. GOD BLESS!

  4. Damon

    DAMN—BEYONCE AIN’T A VIRGIN NO MORE!!!!!!

  5. supyall

    i think i would have liked him had his content not been wack. why he gotta sing about “n!gg@” this and that. c’mon, been done. we have 1 jaheim already.

  6. a.k.a. new yorker

    i agree. he needs to ditch the n*word. i mean seriously

  7. Allen_J

    I think it sounds pretty good. He’s ghetto and he sticks to that formula. I can barely tell the difference between Tank and him though. He might make it but I doubt it the music industry is really about whistles and bells and this is content with a message. Appreciate the real R&B I will buy his cd

  8. chell

    hot. his voice is beaUtiful

  9. GHO

    THATS BABY FOREST WHITAKER YALL LOL

    THE SONG IS SWEET BUT NO SUPERSTAR QUALITY

  10. Camilla

    I like it, but his voice sounds too much like Tank. Either way, I feel like the whole narrative, street stroy was done all ready and very well, might I add, by Lyfe Jennings and Jaheim. I understand it’s his life but he’s gotta come with something new if he wants to get attention. If he don’t then he may as well just stick to some love ballads…cause everybody can’t be hard! LOL

  11. Cecilia

    He’s okay…glad his talking about other things. However, this reminds me of Anthony Hamilton’s first single “Coming from where Im from” which slaps hard. But it’s nice to see fresh faces in R&B.

  12. Mutada al sader

    Too much tank not enough…whats his name ?? Exactly.

  13. RaRa

    it sounds like a song i would hear on a Gospel CD minus the lyrics
    …he has that kinda voice…

  14. Giggles thinks Mariahs new album is amazing

    Good voice but he sounds like every other r&b male singer i’ve heard. If he sounded unique I might like it. Hot or Not? IMO Not

  15. AWJ12687

    Awwww yea get into to this!

  16. MzTrici

    NASHVILLE standup!!!! Lishey ave (street name in background of pic) is right down the street from my Mom’s house!!!!!!! Ok…down to the business. Dude reminds me of Tank and R. Kelly mixed together. Smooth sound but seems like now-a-days you gotta have a little more than a good voice. Wish him sucess though since he’s from my hometown.

  17. ab

    new it was tank as soon as i heard it, it sounds old like something dave hollister or r kelly would have done about 2001

  18. ab

  19. T

  20. Miss Eggplants

  21. Miss Eggplants

    Give him a chance,because he is good.

  22. BOBBITO

  23. Khadijah

    @ #11

    The music is alright.

  24. Jamie872006

  27. Pass me an Advil...NOW!!

    8 years in jail? hmmmmmmmmmm…..i wonder who his boyfriend was up in there lol…..cuz he sho was gettin it in wit someone ….

  28. Jerald

    “I thought” this was “I wish” by R Kelly.

  29. hellrandom00

    That n-word!! C’mon brotha…

    He’s not a bad singer HOWEVER, the oppressed need optimism. People who have experienced the same as him already have a million and one other people to emphathize with. To me he sounds like everybody else. Nothing spectaclar.

  30. freestyle

    Nashville represent!!!! I love that song his voice is smoothing

  31. DL

    @Damon WTF? Who said Beyonce was a virgin? Bey and Ja been together 6yrs, I will leave it at that. LMFAO… I’m feelin’ this track. I wish him the best in helping to bring REAL R&B back to the light.

  32. Notttt!!!!

    LMAO

    Naw but let me go listen to it first.

  33. After watching the video…. the dude really does look like Forrest Whitaker…LMAO.

    AMBER ALERT: Random sighting of Tank

    But the song is ok and plus he’s from TN like me so he gets extra points for that.

  34. SHAE

    Man everybody who has a negative thing to say about KeAnthony needs to stand down because on some REAL SHIT he’s got a great voice…and regardless to who he sounds like {Tank, Jaheim, R.Kelly, Dave Hollister, and whoever else yall compared him to} the shit he’s singing about is the shit he went through, and he aint doing nothing but sharing with the rest of the world….something some artists won’t even do…So for all of yall that’s hating keep ya comments to yourself….And Im from TN (Nashville to be exact) and when he comes out Im definetly gonna get the album!! Keep doing ya thing KeAnthony!!! I dont hate I CONGRATULATE!

  35. Ali

    I’m feelin’ it, first off he don’t sound like so many artists out there, he in that “Grown RnB” group to me lol, along with Tank n Jahiem, still thats only two other artists, and his material is different, long story short really like the song, the videos alright, but again emphasis on the material its not a love making song its a bout friendship, n anyone with good friends can relate, so loved the song.

  36. Dyvinesun

    He got a nice voice and I hope he hits the audience he shooting for. But based on the concept of im reading it all sounds a little to simialar to Lyffe Jennings first LP

  37. keelo55

    His name is CRUNA and he jad an album out a few years ago that was hot SH!T! it was through warner bros. records. He has a few joints that are good “Call me” “summer Breeze” a few hot joints on his other CD. i guess he switch ed script good uck he’s been slept on

  38. FeeLitOrGoHome

    Good voice…but song is boring!!!

  39. Justsoukno

    Nashville stand up, Glad to see someone from my home doing something. He is a talent. However, I am soo tired of this subject matter. Get locked up to get out to do music and now you got credibility. Hell, I see it everyday,, I don’t want to turn on the TV and see it, nor turn on the radio and hear it. I think the redundancy keeps the cycle going. And before you asses think I am putting the state of black American on this dude, I do feel like there is time for a change all the way around.

  40. Rhapsody

    Tennessee stand up! Don’t know how I hadn’t heard about him before now or heard him on the radio! Hadn’t had a fyre artist out of the great state in years. Tis true, he does sound like other guys out now, but the man can actually really sing and he has a quality voice. I think his sound is hot, and if he tweaks his sound a lil bit, he can move out of the shadows of others with similar styles. But don’t count him out CL! I see him doing big things. But I am mad he repped DC and Miami I think and didn’t rep TN! He must do better. Like Usher reppng ATL all the time, know he from Chatt… but I digress. Can’t wait to hear him on the radio!

  41. hood_shit

    I love his VOICE and the MESSAGE of the song! What part of TN is he from?

  42. hood_shit

    He does sound like Tank though esp. the phrasing!

  43. You'll buy anything!

    WHACK, WHACK, WHACK, and WHACK!!! What the hell happened to real music, creativity, and talent? Are you kidding me?! This sounds like some old re-hashed R. Kelly mixed with some Jaheim leftovers. AND HE CAN’T EVEN SING! Come on people!!!

  44. BC

    I’m not feeling this song AT ALL. It is very boring. I get where he is trying to go lyrically, but who is he trying to connect with? Those that went through his “struggles” are probably not checking for an R&B artist to sing about them. I only listened to about 2 minutes or so, but the song was going nowhere vocally. I think anybody could make a record where the melody and chorus only utilize 3 notes.

    I don’t mean to sound harsh for any of his fans out there but seriously. He’s going to have to do much better than this unless he just wants to get lost in the mix. And PS: I hate when singers use the N word. At least bleep it out. It throws off the whole vibe.

  45. Kenyana

    OMG I didn’t bother to read some of these comments, cuz that shyt is stupid what you speaking on that his boyfrined up there he sound Tank okay no one can sound like him he’s one of my fav singers also. About him being ghetto and sticking to it sounds like the dumbest thing I ever heard about people in the music industruy. If it was like then where people are at now then they will still be, people grow up and emerge as artsit WTF! Anyways he stick to what he says he writes about love and life.

    Anyways Keanthony I loved him snice I saw him on the Apollo, and I’ve been searching for his music. Thnks much cl.

  46. Delane

    I’m not mad at him for writing about what he knows. Hopefully he will experience some love in his writing. That’s what his voice calls for. Good luck to him.

  47. UB

    Sounds a bit like R. Kelly. I will give him a chance. At least he is really talking about something vs all these other songs that just give me a migraine and gas. I mean, do I need to make an album? Can I get a record deal? Maybe if I come up with a song called “Tat on my left arm” it will be a hit. Im just saying..that is what is on the radio.

    Geez.

  48. NaijaQT

    I like it. To some of the comments that stated that it sounds like Tank, it sounds like him because it is. At the end of the track Tank is singing the background vocals. Keanthony has a completely distinctive voice from Tank. Good song nonetheless, : )

  49. Klé

    Good voice..his movie is wack tho…and dude is ugly like shit..I think Forrest Whitaker is actually better looking than him..lmao
