..is number 1 on the iTunes chart in the states.01 Mar Jo Jo Wait A Minute (For Your Love)
I felt compelled to share this soulful bit of musical bliss with you.
I once interviewed Jo Jo and she stated that she really isn’t into making mainstream pop which is where various record execs have tried to push her.
She would much rather continue to record the realness hence this lil gem
Enjoy

27 Feb Homegrown salutes
In the sprit of Homegrown month 1Xtra’s Sarah Jane spoke to Jay Sean, currently the UK’s biggest export to the US.
Jay’s been around for so long and definitely earned his stripes and put the leg to get signed with the Cash Money famo.
Shouts to sbtv, you’re doin it!

27 Feb Beyonce gets vexxxx
I’ve made my opinion on Beyonce very clear as of late, but this interviewer actually challenges her and she gets kinda pissed! The sound quality is bad but its worth watching for stans of Beyonce (coz they love her every move..) and also cynics like myself.
On a side note, I DONT hate her! Just think she needs a break to regroup.. And according to this video Sasha Fierce is dead, woop woop!

27 Feb Taio Cruz
When I worked at 1Xtra I looked after this guy at 1Xtra Live. I didnt rate him at all before then, but seeing the reaction he got from the audience and the respect he got from his peers, you have to give props where its due.
Taio topped the national charts with this song in September of 2009 and now he’s got the US co sign from Ludacris. Say no more.

27 Feb Saturday morning randomness
I’ve been listening to Ryan Leslie’s album alot recently, the 2nd song on Transition called Something Like I Like and Pusha T does a sick verse on it. Anyway I stumbled across this just now and it fails for 2 reasons.
Firstly the person that titled the video on Worldstarhiphop called spell NECKLACE, they call it ‘neckless’, shame. And secondly, Ryan gets jacked!
Liberty!

24 Feb Mac Attack…Mclean on the warpath!
Wow!! UK soulster has gone straight in for the jugular with this.
Singing a freestyle over Dr Dre’s ‘The Watcher’ Mclean actually attacks gangsters, wanksters & 99.9% of the industry for being fakers and not having what it take to be a respected artist.
He obviously has a grudge to bear and hopefully when he comes on my 1xtra R&B show he can explain exactly who has rattled his cage. Watch this space!
Check the joint here…
