Just wanted to give you guys a heads up about Leela James’s new video, “Good Time.” Shout outs to Omar from Iced Media in New York for the heads up! Make sure you log onto Leela’s official site or check her out on MySpace, and click here for the video link to “Good Time.” I’m really digging the new video, and I’m feeling Leela’s vibe. Make sure you check her out, and support her album, “A Change Gonna Come.”

Keri Hilson - Come Clean (full rip) - REMOVED
Wow, I’m really digging this song. It reminds me of some 90’s stuff. “Come Clean” is a really nice ballad, really on a “grown & sexy” tip. I’m digging the track as well as her voice. Check her out on MySpace. Show her some love…
The Roots - Don’t Feel Right (full) - download
I’ve always liked The Roots, and I’ve always loved seeing them live. This song is just really dope, a good look. I’m excite to hear the rest of their new material, because this song, slated to be the next single, is really really hot. From the rhymes, flow and delivery to the production. But this is really no surprise, The Roots always come correct.

Mya feat. Eve - I Am (full) - download
So, Mya’s working on her new album, tenatively titled “Control Freak” and rumors have circulated that she’s working with Dre? As in Dr. Dre. Not sure how that’s going to sound, considering that the last couple of tracks leaked by Mya have been produced by Kwame and Tim & Bob.
Cassie feat. Ryan Leslie - Me & You (Remix) (rip) - download
I feel like a remix should surpass the original version and just be completely better, and this one just does not deliver. The original “Me & You” track suits her voice a lot better. As far as remixes go, this one doesn’t do much for me. I much prefer the original.

Sammie feat. Sean Paul - You Should Be My Girl (full) - download
Remember little Sammie singing that song “I Like It,” back in the day? Well, not really back in the day. But Sammie’s all grown up now, and I guess on this Jazze Pha-produced track, his sound is a little more mature, but I hope he plans on bringing something new to the game, because he’s got to step his game up to compete with Chris Brown, who is really his only worthy competition right now.
Fefe Dobson - Get You Off (snippet) - download
Another snippet leaked from “Sunday Love.” You can also check out a live performance of this song by Fefe here. I think the live performance really made me antsy to hear the full version of this song. Supposedly, “Sunday Love” is due out June 20th, but that seems a little overzealous considering that the single just impacted radio earlier last week and there’s no video. I hope things work out for Fefe, ’cause I dig her.

“…When she enters a room, it just seems to light up completely, with her warm, glowing smile. Janelle Monáe’s definitely got something that’s lacking in the music world right now: passion and soul. It raises the question: how could such a small girl exude so much light, radiance and positivity and make such a huge impact? And that’s what Janelle’s all about. Making an impact and getting results. It’s no wonder that she got signed by one half of hip-hop’s largest face-changers and contributors, Big Boi, of OutKast.”
CONTINUE TO THE INTERVIEW >>>>>>>
Everybody make sure you check out CL’s first exclusive interview! It’s something you don’t want to miss. I’d like to personally thank Janelle for letting us get a chance to talk with her. Make sure you guys show her some love, feel free to leave comments and download the music! Thanks again to Janelle and the readers! Doesn’t it feel good to be in the loop? You better act like you know!

I’ve gotten several e-mails about this song and when it’s going to leak. A low-quality rip snippet had been floating around about it, and I’d heard it before, but people were really asking about the full version of this song. What I don’t understand is why people are treating this like a Beyonce song. This is not a Beyonce song. It’s her character, Xania’s song from “Pink Panther.” She plays a popstar in the movie, so of course she has to have a song. So, please, let’s not assume this is on Beyonce’s album. It’s just a song from the movie by her character. Jeeze. Sorry for those who thought this was going to be “Deja Vu!”

So everyone has been asking me about Teedra Moses. Is she working on a new album? Yes. What’s it called? The Young Lioness. When’s it drop? Well… I don’t know. But a new exclusive track taken from Teedra’s MySpace is out and I really love it. Teedra’s voice, as usual, sounds flawless and the writing and production are all on point. Teedra’s swagger is just nice. Seriously, Teedra always delivers. Shout outs to Annie for this one!
