Check out this exclusive from Teedra Moses, “So Cool.” Teedra (who is actually one of my favorite artists), released her debut album, Complex Simplicity back in 2004 and I’ve been checking for her ever since. I actually got a chance to speak with Teedra not long ago, and she is working hard on her second album, The Young Lioness, which we’ve been waiting for a long time.Teedra wanted to let all of her fans know that when it’s out, it’s going to be right and well worth the wait.
“So Cool” is a really mellow, dope song. You can definitely hear Teedra’s Prince influence in the Drone One-produced track. What I love about this track is that it’s different for Teedra, but it still has that Complex Simplicity familiarity. I’m definitely digging it.
Check out Teedra on MySpace and tell her Brian from CL sent you! Show my girl some love!

Check out the official second single from Ne-Yo, “Miss Independent,” from his third album, Year of the Gentleman. The new album is set to hit stores August 5th, after a couple of push-backs. I thought that the first single, “Closer” would have been a lot bigger over in the United States than it was, especially with the video getting so much play.
Perhaps “Miss Independent,” despite its mediocrity to the first single, will give the album the push it needs. Hopefully, Ne-Yo has some stronger material to release from the album, because if “Miss Independent” is all we had to look forward to, I’m losing interest.
Check out Ne-Yo on MySpace and make sure you pick up a copy of Year of the Gentleman on August 5th.

♫ T.I. - Whatever You Like (full) - listen
Even though folks have been going up for T.I.’s new song, “No Matter What,” and they’re loving the video, it seems as though “Whatever You Like” is T.I.’s official first single. I don’t think it’s as strong as it could but, but it’s catchy and I think the ladies will like it. It’s not what I was expecting from an album that’s titled Paper Trail. I honestly like the intensity of “No Matter What” better. Hmmm.
♫ Drake feat. Lil’ Wayne - Brand New (Remix) (full) - listen
I remember posting this a little while ago, but here is a new remix of “Brand New” with Lil’ Wayne. I actually love this version of it. Most are used to hearing Drake rap, but he definitely can sing as well. I’ve spoken to him recently, and he has been hard at work at his debut album, Thank Me Later. I think that “Brand New” should definitely be kept in the mix of his album. I’ve been waiting on Drake for a minute.

♫ Lloyd - Year of the Lover (full) - listen
I have really been digging Lloyd’s delivery and swagger as of lately. Lessons In Love is shaping up to be a pretty solid third release for the R&B crooner. “Year of the Lover” is supposed to be the third single, while he promotes the album for an August 5th release. From what I’ve heard, a rapper will be added to “Year of the Lover” for when it’s released as a single.
♫ Teairra Mari - Finding My Way Back (full) - listen
We just reported that Teairra Mari inked a new deal with Interscope Records, and she’s already dropped her first single, “No No No” on us. A couple of tracks have leaked here and there, but here is “Finding My Way Back.” I don’t know, this is really the first bit of material that I’ve really been digging. I was a fan of the music that Teairra released on

In a recent new music review, we broke a new song from Brooke Valentine, with production that we’ve already heard from both Le’Che Martin, who you may remember from Making the Band 3 (when Diddy was forming Danity Kane), as well as new Def Jam signee, Amerie.
Although, I must admit, I was initially drawn most to Le’Che Martin’s version, I actually grew to like Amerie’s, “Hate 2 Love U,” which was featured on her last album, Because I Love It…. So, since this beat seems to have past around the industry, what do you guys think?

Songbird Brandy is gearing up for the release of her new album, and it seems as though she’s got the internet going nuts with this new promo shot that’s leaked. Just a few days ago, she also released a bit of the new material that she’s been in the studio working on, a track entitled “List,” (listen here) that also Brandy fans were going up for.
In any event, it’s been reported that Brandy will release her official first single on August 8th via her MySpace page. Her new album, which hasn’t been titled yet, will be her first release on Epic Records.

Keri Hilson recently shot the video for her first single, “Energy,” directed by Melina. I’m really excited to see what they came up with. In the video, Keri portrays a boxer with her boyfriend as her trainer. It should be pretty interesting.
Keri will walk the video to both MTV and BET on Monday, with friend, mentor and collaborator, Timbaland. Her debut album, In A Perfect World… drops on September 23rd. I’m super happy for Keri, it’s been a long time coming!
