Mp3: T.I. – Castle Walls ft. Christina Aguilera x No Mercy ft. The-Dream & Tricky

Posted by Matt | Posted in Music | Posted on 03-12-2010

T.I.

Here’s two more tracks of T.I.’s comeback album, No Mercy aaaaaaaand let’s just say that while they do sound better than that Pharrell produced track, it still ain’t Paper Trails material… it just seems like there’s something lacking with his post-prison music, it just sound not as inspired anymore.

And I know that T.I. has been trying to change his ways since he came out of prison, only to get back into it, but yeah his music seems to be suffering because of it.

No Mercy is due December 7th.

Mp3/Video: Jay Electronica – The Announcement x Shiny Suit Theory ft. Jay-Z, The-Dream & Charlotte Gainsbourg

Posted by Ryan | Posted in Music | Posted on 15-11-2010

Jay’s laughing all the way to the bank. If you hadn’t heard, Mr. ElecRamadaan Muhammad Asalaamica Rasoul Allah Supana Watallah just signed to Sean Carter’s Roc Nation, and we couldn’t be happier, right guys? Why? Because the only other option it seemed was signing with Diddy. And nobody wants that nowadays. Don’t worry, Jay is not going to change Jay. This track is just what we’ve been hoping for, a longass excerpt intro building up to a mellow flow laden with rewind-worthy lines and some spaced out production. We’ve been waiting for new Jay for a long time, and like three days after singing with the Roc, we’ve got a two new tracks. We’re happy you’re happy, Mr. Electronica.

Mp3: Lloyd Banks – Beamer, Benz Or Bentley ft. Ludacris, The-Dream, Jadakiss & Yo Gotti (Remix)

Posted by Matt | Posted in Music | Posted on 14-05-2010

Lloyd Banks

Yes, Lloyd Banks timing is somewhat off as he finally released the promised remix of Beamer, Benz or Bentley, but only after the release of Eminem’s Despicable freestyle.

To his credit though, Lloyd did manage to get a heavy line up with Ludacris, Jadakiss, Yo Gotti and The-Dream, and to be honest, it ain’t a bad song at all, it’s just that Em’s already slayed it.

Video/Mp3: The-Dream – Love King ft. Ludacris (Remix)

Posted by Matt | Posted in Music | Posted on 06-05-2010

The-Dream

I gotta hand it to The-Dream, what he calls remixes are real remixes and not just the original track with the addition of a feature rapper and I respect that. He actually reworks the song to the core, down to the beat and the lyrics. The original version of Love King already had a remix done featuring Young Jeezy (who recently became Jeezy… dropping the Young in the process) and I guess he wasn’t done with the song as he released yesterday, via his website, a second remix featuring Atlanta representative Ludacris this time around.

As usual, Luda does a fine job at doing what he’s known for, but just enough to not murder The-Dream at his own game. And talking about The-Dream, I gotta say that his ability to make catchy-as-fuck songs is still astounding me, I bumped everything he released so far and I’m not one to listen to R&B in the first place, he is that dope.

Love King is the title track of his upcoming album which is set to drop on June 22nd.

Mp3: The-Dream – Love Again ft. T.I.

Posted by Matt | Posted in Music | Posted on 16-04-2010

The-Dream

This track is apparently named F.I.L.A as it’s the name it will be appearing on The-Dream’s upcoming LP, Love King. It also features on T.I. collaboration project with DJ Drama Fuck A Mixtape. I’m not one for R&B vibes and what not, but this is pretty good… To be honest I’ve always been a fan of The-Dream, and you know, when Drake’s song Shut It Down was released (which features The-Dream), people were saying that it sounded alot like a leftover song of The-Dream and I didn’t really see it, maybe because I don’t actually listen to alot of The-Dream more than his features and what not, but after listening to this song, it definitely sounds alike… which isn’t a necessarily bad thing.

The-Dream’s upcoming album, Love King is set to hit the shelves on May 18th.

Mp3: Drake – Shut It Down ft. The-Dream

Posted by Matt | Posted in Music | Posted on 22-03-2010

Drake

Alright, so here’s the second leak of Drake’s upcoming debut album, Thank Me Later. While the first one (Over) was a heavy hitter, Shut It Down is quite the opposite, featuring The-Dream and focus on another aspect of Drake by showcasing his ability to hold it’s own on a R&B track. Something that widely became his trademark in his pre-Lil Wayne years.

Mp3: R. Kelly – Pregnant ft. Tyrese, Robin Thicke & The-Dream

Posted by Matt | Posted in Music | Posted on 25-11-2009

I have no word to explain this fuckery … R. Kelly gets a R&B dream team together to produce, the possibly, most ridiculous songs in the recent months/years with lyrics like :

Girl you make me wanna get you pregnant
Lay your body down and get you pregnant (knock you up)
Pregnant (knock you up)

I mean … really R. Kelly? REALLY?

[Mp3] Jamie Foxx – Digital Girl ft. Kanye West, The-Dream & Drake (Remix)

Posted by Matt | Posted in Music | Posted on 20-06-2009

“Drake is the new movement, man. You gotta think about what this kid has done, man. To have records on a mixtape, and then the next thing you know he’s on top of the charts. And every time you mention him, people go crazy,” Foxx told MTV News. “I’ve had the chance to meet Drake and listen to his music. The volumes of music he’s producing makes him a strong force that’ll be around for a very long time. Because usually, when you see an artist of today, they do one thing — maybe they perform a song or do a great hook — but you seldom see a guy who can walk a song, all from the R&B end, and then to be on a track with Bun B … and Bun B, he doesn’t get on tracks with people unless it’s really legit … so I’m actually honored to have him on a track called ‘Digital Girl,’ and we will be working with each other in the future.”
