Labrinth: Earthquake

Producer Labrinth has teamed up with Tinie Tempah on a new track, which is the second single from his upcoming album Futherworks. The electro-tinged track entitled 'Earthquake' is truly destined to tear up the charts when it is released in October...

J. Cole is really upping the ante for the release of his debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story. After the long wait - bearing in mind we've still got a few more days to go yet, he's been dropping the tracks and the videos. The second single, 'Can't Get Enough' featuring hottie Trey Songz finally has a visual.

Classic Bow Wow

Bow Wow, just tweeted this classic photo of him with Jay-Z and Jermaine Dupri. Seeing this just reminded me of the good old days of R&B and Hip Hop. When the productions were absolutely tight and lyrics were much more meaningful. So just before the day is out in the UK (10minutes to spare) I thought I'd drop another Throwback Thursday !! I'm taking it back to the year 2000 when he went by the name of Lil' Bow Wow. 'Bounce With Me' was the first and lead single of his debut album, Beware Of Dog and was obviously produced by Dupri. The song featured girl group XSCAPE and appearances from Jagged Edge and Da Brat. The video includes clips from Big Momma's House, as the track featured on the hit films soundtrack. It's so hard to believe this was 11 years ago !! Check it out...

Throwback Thursday: Nelly

This Throwback Thursday I'm taking it back to the year 2001. With the new millennium just one year in, every one getting comfortable and embracing the new: this was definitely a year filled with great music. 

Rihanna: We Found Love

Today Rihanna dropped something new called 'We Found Love', produced and featuring DJ Calvin Harris. The pair have been constantly tweeting about the song within the last 18 hours or so, and boy they've been excited. Word has it the single is the lead of her sixth studio album - that she is currently working on. The song premiered on London's radio station, Capital FM, shortly followed by Choice FM and urban radio station in the same building. The song will be a hit, and most likely if not definitely top the charts. The production is really good - couldn't expect any less from Calvin. The dance track though catchy isn't Rihanna's best. Though Calvin tweeted she sounds like an 'angel' the song lacks substance. This song should have been released in August in my eyes, with people jetting off to or at least still in the party island mood. I definitely see this track landing on the dance track compilation CDs. It's definitely a grower. Check it out for yourselves after the break, and also check out their tweets.

Throwback Thursday: Kanye West


This Throwback Thursday track has to be one of my favourite Kanye West tracks. The song though rude, is just filled with so much energy and makes you want to get involved and get down with the title.

Yes, if you've guessed, it's 'New Workout Plan'. When this Lil' Jon produced song came out I knew the lyrics to the whole song - including the skit with the crazy weight losing women near the end - (FIFI LEBEOUFF BEING THE BEST !!) With his whit and simple rhymes it was totally easy to learn with a few listens.

The early Kanye days with songs such as this, he was much more satirical and his music was so much easier to relate to than the new stuff his coming out with these days, but hey people still loathe love him !!

The video directed by was just hilarious, and as any silly teenager would I used to join in with the routine and add my own dance moves in the mix; from the start right through to the end.

Here I give you Ye's 2004 track from his debut album, The College Dropout the video. Enjoy :)

This weeks featured video has to be J.Cole's 'Work Out'. The track acts as the lead single of his debut album Cole World: The Sideline Story. With it dropping later on Friday in Europe WOOHOO!! (next week for everyone else) it's only right as a fan to support the cause !!
