After a strong showing last week, the R&B world (even Ne-Yo) seemed to take it a little easy the past seven days. No worries though, I still got new/unreleased music from the likes of Ashanti, Christina Milian, Changing Faces, Mariah Carey, Johnta Austin, Joss Stone, Mya, Sisqo, Omarion, Avery Storm, Avant and more.
Just like last week I’m hitting you off with the Soothing Session bright and early in the morning. New/unreleased music from Cassie, Ne-Yo, Mario, Bobby V, Mariah Carey, R. Kelly, Omarion, John Legend, Johnta Austin, Slim (112), London and more. Grab the two tracks below, then hit the jump for the rest!
Ahh shit… no need to talk about this one. You knew it was gonna happen. Especially after Obsessed. And despite the targets in this track, you can’t deny Marshall is still lethal with the pen. Shouts to RR.
Anyone else find it ironic that Ja would get on a track called Obsessed and talk about Curtis (and Marshall)? I understand Mariah is dissing him but does that mean you have to? Let that shit go Jeffrey… move on and just make music. Getting another verbal ass beating from Fif & Em will NOT help you. *shrugs… shouts to Dr. Exclusives.
Is this the track people were gassing up? Good grief, this is almost as awful as Schaffer’s A Milli crack at Chris Brown. SHAKE UPDATE: I had to update with the official artwork because, well… yea. And I might as well add a few tidbits about the record incase anyone was wanting to know. Obsessed is the first single off MC’s upcoming album, Memoirs Of An Angel, dropping August 25th. It’s written by Tricky Stewart & The-Dream and if you take it out of context (it being an Eminem response, etc) it’s actually not that bad. I’m sure it will do it’s numbers as usual. Oh, and Gucci jumped on the remix. A perfect chance to get back at Young Jeezy but — according to XXL — he’s taking the high road bitch blvd.
I had no idea that Nick Cannon was going to Wild N Out on me…
Above is a clip from Eminem’s interview with Tim Westwood in which he speaks on Nick Cannon’s rant. Full interview dropping this week. UPDATE: Hit the jump for Eminem’s appearance on Family Guy…
We dropped the first remix of this with T.I. awhile back. Then Uncle L hopped on the remix of the remix. And now it’s Ghost’s turn to remix the remix of the remix. Ghost needs to get on R&B cuts more often. He always does his thing. Shouts to Steve-O.
Akon and the Hip Hop Gremlin hop on Mariah Carey’s single. What? Lil Wayne jumps on a track after Jay-Z already did? No way! Still, Wayne brings it. I thoroughly enjoy him when he comes correct like this. Shouts to Splash as usual. You know, Def Jam/R&B is his thing right? Dude stays on point with it. UPDATE: So I dig both Hov and Weezy on this. So why not mix them together? That’s right, a 2DB Remix haha.
New video from the newly wed Mariah Cannon. I guess if you can’t have 2pac you go for the reincarnation right? 2pac Jr also directed this video btw. Clearly I’m posting this for the visuals as Jay-Z is definitely needed to make this song. Check after the jump for Mariah’s latest spread in the June issue of Vibe…
