A massive highlight for me this week was when I hooked up with Goodie Mob & Gnarls Barkley member Cee Lo Green for an interview. The southern soulster is such a top man!
Whilst engaging in conversation regarding the forthcoming solo album ‘Cee Lo Green is The Lady Killer’, he explained that this is an unofficial video but because it’s blown up so quickly, much the same as his hit Crazy, they had to throw something together until the Official Video comes @ ya.
It’s already had nearly 3 million views which establishes it as a sure fire viral hit.

Watch out for my full i/view special with the The Lady Killer himself on BBC Radio 1xtra…In the meantime enjoy this video version of the single ‘F-*k You’.
I must warn you that the content & language is highly explicit and should not be viewed or heard if you are under 16.
Otherwise enjoy and feel free to leave a comment.

Wassup my R&B fam!
Here’s a unique music video taken from a new album entitled ‘ I’m gonna be somebody’ by UK soulster, Michael Lloyd Pinq.
The soulful track and beautiful cinematography of this video, materialise the singer’s determination to triumph over adversity as a black kid growing up without a father in London. If you’re into the likes of Anthony Hamilton, there’s no doubt you’ll be feeling this.
It’s a video’s which has a narrative and positive social message so peep it, enjoy and please leave a comment!

He’s the mastermind behind Tinie Tempah’s tracks “Pass Out” & “Frisky” which he produced as well sang on but in this EXCLUSIVE A64, we see Labz sing a Bob Dylan song that he thinks says alot about the industry today.
Enjoy!

‘THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGIN’

Kevin Carson (Bow Wow) a young man living in the projects, is just an ordinary guy…until he wins $370 million in the Mondo Millions Lottery.

That’s the good news.

The bad news is, the lottery claim office is closed for the long Fourth of July weekend, so, before he can collect his prize, Kevin is going to have to figure out how to keep a lid on his good fortune and survive the next three days.

As news of his windfall spreads through the community like a grass fire, Kevin quickly discovers the good, the bad and the ugly in his closest friends and neighbors. Girls who could never be bothered before start chasing him down. Everyone wants a piece of him—including the reverend, the local loan shark and one very threatening recent parolee won’t take no for an answer. On edge and on the run, he even begins to question the intentions of his best friend, Benny (Brandon T. Jackson).

He also starts to realize the power he holds in his hands and what this lottery ticket could really mean to him, his future, and the community.

It’s funny what people will do when money is involved.

Here’s another edition of your weekly news n hot-talk in R&B land.

COULD DIDDY BE THE NEXT COWELL?

THE MTV VMA NOMINEES ANNOUNCED:
SWIFT & BEYONCE GOING HEAD TO HEAD COULD PROMPT ANOTHER KANYE OUTBURST…surely not!

CHRIS ‘BREEZY’ Does NICKI MINAJ

This guy’s the next to blow! Like Drizzy and Breezy, he sings and raps but he also produces and writes on top of that.

His name’s Bei Maejor and he dropped his mixtape Upside Down (featuring collabs with Drake, T-Pain, Keri Hilson & Trey Songz) this week. Click here

If you like Trey Songz, you’ll like Bei Maejor… because he’s better.

The only problem with the free download is that most of the tunes are down-tempo, it needs some bangers (like a ‘I Can Transform Ya’ or a ‘U Dont Have To Call’) but hey, I guess that’s something we can expect from his forthcoming album out later this year.

I’d been told about the singing skillz of the lovely Preeya Kalidas long before she lit up our screens as Amira, scorned girlfriend / wife of then closet homosexual Syed (played by Marc Elliot) on the popular soap Eastenders.
It therefore came as no surprise to me when i was told she was departing the square to pursue a music career, and pursuing it the lady is.
Clock in to find out what happened when i met up with Preeya as we spoke about music & life after Eastenders…And will she ever return to the Square?
Enjoy!
