Check out this song from actor-turned-singer Hosea Chanchez entitled, “Kancer”. Hosea, who is best known for playing Malik on the now defunct series The Game, is currently working hard on his new music.
I personally think it sounds like some bootleg Kanye West 808s & Heartbreak outtakes, but take a listen and see what you think.
Formerly of Diddy’s Making the Band group, Danity Kane, Dawn Richard has been diligently in and out of the studio with Puff, working on his new album, in a group called Dirty Money for his Last Train to Paris album. But not only that, she has been working on some material for a solo project that will soon follow.
Recently, she posted the electro-pop/funk track, “U.G.L.Y.” on her MySpace page, which has her fans in a frenzy.
After much anticipation for new material from Andre 3000, one half of the dynamic duo, OutKast. He announced later last year that he was working on a new solo project, but this new track, “Lookin’ 4 Ya” is from the new DJ Envy and Tapemasters Inc.’s mixtape, Purple Codeine 25.
Although it’s not the psychedelic, experimental rollercoaster ride I had expected from Andre 3-Stacks, I’m pleased to at least get a little taste. I want to hear him do some more singing, too. Hopefully this new album will be a balance.
Whitney Houston’s first single, “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength” hit the internet yesterday. The new track comes from her long-awaited seventh studio album, I Look At You.

It will be released September 1, 2009 by long-term record label Arista in assocation with J. Records.

While others may think it’s over for Chris Brown’s career after his sentencing, he is still putting the finishing touches on his third studio album, Graffiti, which Chris is slated to release a single for this summer.
Of the new material from Chris is the Neptunes-produced “Not My Fault.” Although the track sounds a little unfinished, it seems as though Chris is pulling in the best and brightest to stay afloat with this next album.
Mariah Carey debuted her new single, “Obsessed” from her forthcoming album, Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel on Chicago radio station B96 on Tuesday afternoon
The track was penned by The Dream (also responsible for her last #1 hit, “Touch My Body”), and sounds like she is taking shots at rapper Eminem, who have been going back and forth on tracks since Mariah’s Charmbracelet album. Memoirs is slated to hit stores August 25th.
