Here Is The Hot New "50 Cent" Video For "Ayo Technology".

Originally titled "She Wants It" (As Posted Previously), this is the best track I have heard from 'Fiddy's' new album, probably because of the "Timbaland" influence. The track also features "Justin Timberlake" who's 'squeaky' vocals add a positive element to the record, it makes 50 actually 'rap' instead of his usual monotone moaning.

The video itself is very sexy, the "Minority Report" inspired theme is very hot. I think this track will actually inspire some interest in "Curtis", because so far it has been full of mediocre crap. But who knows, I may grow to like it, although I can't believe it will be as good as "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'".

"M.I.A - Kala"

Posted In: , , , , , , . By M@rk

Multi-Genre Artist "M.I.A" Returns With Here Second Album, & It Is Just As Bizarre As The First.

The British born star is currently prepping the release of "Kala", which features production from my two favourite producers; "Timbaland" & "Bangladesh", I have managed to obtain & leaked copy & have given it a listen.

The predominantly 'electronic' album is full of rich beats & sometimes 'eerie' sounds, which accumulate in an album that is strangely addictive. Highlights include; "Bird Flu", "Boyz" & "Come Around" which is also featured on Timbaland's UK release of "Shock Value".

This is definately not for the mainstream audience, but M.I.A has always acquired a devoted, cult following who will surely enjoy this offering, I am a fan of her innovation & love the different, unique sound that she always produces. This is not normally my 'sort' of album, but I still enjoyed listening to it & will continue to do so for some time to come.

Personally, I would like to see M.I.A & Tim do a full album together as this combination offers the best from both parties, the Tim produced tracks are generally the better ones from the album & provide that 'listen again' factor that I really like.

I Urge You To Give The Album A listen, It's Strange, 'Mystic' Sounds Are Something Very Different. I Would Love To know What You Guys Make of It.

After Featuring This Track Last Month, I'm Happy To Bring You Guys The New Video From "Will.i.am".

I'm still not really feeling the track, to me it sounds like a bit of a "BEP" reject, but I'll give it time. It is definately a 'radio friendly' track with a very cool summer feel, I'm sure it will do him well.

It's good to see Will comeback with some further solo material, I think he is a great producer, he is very like able a has a lot of Charisma. Will's new solo album "Songs About Girls" is due to hit stores in mid September, I don't think it will reach the heights of "Timbaland's" current offering, but I will be grabbing a copy.

Questionable 'Star' Of R&B "Cassie" Is Back With A New Track Called "Is It You?".

Taken from the soundtrack of the up & coming blockbuster "Step Up 2", 'Is It You?' is a pretty average track from a pretty average girl. I am not a major fan of Cassie, her first album was a massive disappointment to me, but I hope her next album maybe a little different.

Cassie is in an already 'Drenched' market of female R&B stars, of which she is no where near the top. If you haven't got the talent as a singer then you should go another route, I would love to see Cassie do something different, maybe then she would get noticed.

Here Is The Brand New Video From Female MC "Eve".

Although "Tambourine" didn't fair that well in the charts, despite it being fantastic, Eve is back with professional collaborator "Sean Paul" with her second single from "Here I Am".

"Give It To You" is a hot summer track, it has a cool video & some hot beats, I cannot wait for Eve's album to drop in September, it is going to be hot. Although I can't see her taking "Missy's" crown as the 'top bitch', Eve can still as always hold her own.

Here Is The Video For The Second Single From "Swizz Beatz" New Album.

Although primarily a producer, Swizz has decided to go the "Timbaland" route & go for a solo project. But he assures us that unlike Timbo's album, his will not contain many collaborations, he says his fans want to hear some real solo material, not just his production.

I sort of agree with Swizzy, but Tim's album was him doing what he does best & it is so good he can be forgiven for anything. Still, this track ain't all that good, which is a real shame as I love Swizz as a producer & thought his solo work would be great.
