Originally featuring Lil’ Wayne, Keri Hilson’s second single, “Turnin’ Me On,” from her debut album, In A Perfect World… has been remixed with none other than Busta Rhymes, who recently left Aftermath/Interscope Records last summer, and will release his new album, B.O.M.B. next year. I love the energy of this Polow Da Don-produced track and it’s been getting a lot of play in radio and clubs, as well as air play with the video.
