Diggy Simmons and T-Pain rolled through BET’s 106 & Park on Wednesday evening (December 7) to talk about their music, albums, videos and more.

T-Pain, on the other hand, just released his fourth studio album, RevolveЯ and talked a bit about whether he still uses auto-tune, what it was like to work w/ Wiz Khalifa and what inspired the album’s artwork.
Peep what they had to say after the jump! Continue

Ester Dean – Death of Us (full) – listen
No stranger to demoing for other artists, it’s no surprised that Ester Dean, who is responsible for writing over half of Rihanna’s latest album, Talk That Talk, has demos leak all the time. Check out “Death of Us,” a leftover demo from the sessions of Rihanna’s new album.
K. Michelle – For My Cinderellas (full) – listen
Since the merger of Jive Records, K. Michelle has still be working on her debut album, Pain Medicine and remaining afloat with the release of mixtapes. The latest of her material to surface is the track, “For My Cinderellas.” Since she’s always working, there’s no telling whether or not this was even meant for her album.
JoJo – Last Heart Standing (full) – listen
Still waiting on JoJo’s often delayed third album, Jumping Trains, but it seems that tracks can’t help but to leak. A clearly unfinished pop track, “Last Heart Standing” just seems to be another demo that got lost in the sauce. Hopefully, we get Jumping Trains at the first quarter of next year.
With the year 2012 slowing creeping up, Robin Thicke has decided to deliver a compilations of 17 musical gems with his 5th studio album, Love After War. Mr. Thicke has truly come a long way since his long-haired “When I Get You Alone” days. Nine years later, the R&B crooner is now singing to a new and refreshing tune.
What is much appreciated about Thicke is his overall simplicity when it comes to his album covers. On this project, Robin is seen painted or sketched out in black on the cover, with his blue eyes accenting his evident happiness. And he has every reason to be. He’s married to his high school sweetheart, Paula Patton and early last year they brought their beautiful son, Julian, into the world. With their busy careers and family addition, Robin and his love have managed to keep their fire aflame and get through the highs and lows of their relationship. And it’s clear that their relationship has deeply inspired this album. Continue
