Jaila Simms was the winner of Diddy and MTV’s Making His Band, the show where Diddy was putting together a band to go on tour for Dirty Money’s Last Train to Paris album. And even though he didn’t end up taking the winners on the road with him, that hasn’t stopped Jaila from moving to LA to pursue her music career.
The free digital album, TransSex & the Emerald City, hosted by famed R&B songstress Faith Evans is a mixture of remixes and original material from the transgendered singer, who is not shy about her past and where she came from.
A while back, we made a post about a buddy group by the name of Hollyweerd (CLICK HERE). Since then, the group has disband and all members have gone on to pursue other avenues, including The Dreamer, who has now rebranded himself as Go Dreamer with his latest solo attempt, a digital album entitled Animal$ v$. Machine$.
The 10-track digital album features all original material, mostly produced and co-produced by Go Dreamer himself, with the helping hands of some friends.
After enjoying some time on the charts, Kanye West and Jay-Z finally release a visual for their hit HitBoy-produced single, “Niggas In Paris” from their hugely successful joint album, Watch the Throne. The video features footage from their tour in Los Angeles, where it’s said that they performed the track 10 times in a row. Watch the Throne is in stores now.
Concrete Loop friend and supporter Stacy Barthe recently inked a deal with John Legend’s Homeschool Music label and is giving us a new EP just months after the release of her first one, Sincerely Yours. As a free treat, she’s allowing listeners to download her new track, “No Strings Attached,” featuring John Legend (produced by Supa Dups), for free.
In addition to releasing her EP, Stacy Barthe is currently on the road with label mate Estelle for BET’s Music Matters tour. She is definitely excited about performing and working on her debut album, which will probably hit stores later this year.
