Shawty Putt is an Atlanta native and newly signed to Razor & Tie Entertainment via Lil Jon’s BME Recordings label. I actually heard this song on Music Choice not too long ago, I think this song is funny.
Im not sure if you know this by now but Jazmine Sullivan is about to become a household name, and while I knew about her for some years now she’s still a fresh face to many. Her voice is raw, and you can tell that when she sings, its coming straight from the soul. I will be doing more post on her to come as I find more youtube vids, and new tracks that come out as well as a few old ones. Im more so into her beings though that she is from Philadelphia, and I lived only 40 minutes away from there and listen to a lot of soulful type of artist such as Jazmine. The song that she’s singing is titled “In Love With Another Man.”

N.e.r.d. has released their second music video for the single Spaz off of the album titled Seeing Sounds. The album is amazing and if you dont already have it make sure you cop it!
When I first heard this song I wasnt sure if I liked it, but the visual gave me a better aspect of it. To be honest this is probably one of Ashanti’s best albums, because she has matured a lot. Not only that but the video’s are more in depth. This song features Nelly and Jermaine Dupri, and its the second single off of the album titled The Declaration. What is a video if it isnt directed by Melina? Na seriously all of the videos directed by her are amazing!
Nina Sky will be releasing their sophmore album titled The Musical in October, and Im amped because Ive been waiting for them to drop another album for a while now. Producers on the album include, Swizz Beatz, Cool & Dre, Salaam Remi, Kerry “Krucial” Brother, and Ryan Leslie. The first single is titled “Curtain Call” which features Rick Ross. I’ll be posting that by the end of the week.
Teyana Taylor, Keri Hilson, & Solange are definetly running it for the summer of 08 in my opinion. They grace the August issue of Rap-Up Magazine as 2008’s Brave New Girls. Also featured in the issure are aritst such as Wynter Gordon, Kid Sister, Janelle Monae, and Estelle which makes for a pretty dope flipthrough. All of these ladies are bringing something different in R&B. They are missing one person I can think of though, and thats Jazmine Sullivan.
Keri Hilson premiered her first music video on BET’s 106 N Park this week. Energy is the first single off of the album In A Perfect World, which will be in stores on September 23rd. The video was directed by Melina who has done various videos with varius artist such as Ne-Yo, Beyonce, Solange, and Snoop Dogg just to name a few. Keri is looking really sexy in this video!
