♫ The Game – Dope Boys (full) – listen
Check out The Game’s new single from his upcoming album, L.A.X., which has been pushed back from July 22nd to August 26th. “Dope Boys” sounds like it’ll be good for radio, and Game always puts out a pretty good video with cool visuals. I think that’ll help me better appreciate the new single. I’m a little worried though – this is the third push-back that Game has gone up against. But then again, he won’t have to worry about competing against Miley Cirus’s sales on the 22nd.
♫ Eve feat. Robin Thicke – Fantasy (full) – listen
I really loved “Tambourine,” and I was really sad that it didn’t help the album to jump off like it was supposed to back in ’07. They pushed back Here I Am to February of 2008, but I heard nothing else about the project. Here’s the new single they’re pushing for Even, “Fantasy,” featuring Robin Thicke. I like the song, but I’m not sure if it’s strong enough as a single, even though it really is a cool song. I guess Robin is jumping on stuff too, to promote his new project as well.
♫ Raheem DeVaughn – Text Messages (full) – listen
Here’s the new single, “Text Messages” from Raheem DeVaughn’s rerelease of his sophomore album, Love Behind the Melody. I’m glad that Raheem has been getting the love that he’s deserved this time around, even though I think his sound has definitely changed a little bit from the first album, The Love Experience. Good look for Raheem.
♫ Common feat. Pharrell Williams – Announcement (full) – listen
I’m guessing that Common has tapped Pharrell to helm the large part of his new project, Invincible Summer, which is the follow-up to his last album, “Finding Forever.” I think Pharrell and Common have pretty good chemistry together, because I love the new single, “U.M.C.” and I definitely dug “Closer,” where Common featured Mary J. Blige.
The common joint is a pure hip-hop classic…he’s def.gon win a quite a few young fans this time around….I’m young n i been knowin com sense has been dope since my brother put me on back n the late 90′s when i was like 8 lol but my man Pharrell Williams..the legend,is prolly on top of his game right now,from rockin wit n.e.r.d.on their new album,to killin the joints on madonna album,n now workin wit common,I think him and Ye r going 2 out do themselves on Invincible Summer..n it will b hella dope,Im goin 2 say hottest cd of the summer,since C3 already out!
