♫ HOT OR NOT: HOLLYWEERD – “MONKEY”


♫ Hollyweerd – Monkey

Let me reintroduce you to Hollyweerd. Back in January, we featured them in our artist spotlight section, and they got a swelling response from readers, other blogs and even some label executives.

So, they felt is was time to give the public another taste of what they’ve been grinding on. “Monkey” is that just that – a wild, loose animal, all over the place, a lot different than their previous track, “Have You Ever Made Love To A Weerdo?” But the group is still going strong and working on their debut, banging out cuts with a few different producers.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT “MONKEY?”

♫ HOT OR NOT: T-PAIN & LIL’ WAYNE ♫

T-Pain and Lil’ Wayne are set to team up to do an album together a la R. Kelly and Jay-Z on Best of Both Worlds. Even though the idea sort of makes me cringe, I don’t see why not. These two have definitely been at the top of their game for the past year, with Lil’ Wayne selling over a million records his first week out, and T-Pain being featured on everyone and their grandmother’s song.

Well, here’s “Can’t Believe It,” a track from Thr33 Ringz, T-Pain’s forthcoming circus-themed album, due out in September, with its lead single, “Silver & Gold.”

SO, HOW DO YOU LIKE “CAN’T BELIEVE IT?”
