Janet Jackson » “Feedback” » LISTEN » (Full) » I’m sure you all remember me posting about Janet Jackson’s forthcoming single not too long ago (in April). Here is her brand new song “Feedback,” produced by Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins, it will be the first single lifted from Janet Jackson’s 10th studio album, appropriately entitled, Discipline (Island Def Jam). The singer’s new LP is due out February 26th of next year.

Timbaland ft. Keri Hilson + Nicole Scherzinger » “Scream” » LISTEN » (Full) » “Scream” is set to be the forth single lifted from Timbaland’s Shock Value (Interscope). The heavy string/tambourine sounding single features co-production by Danja and a guest appearance by Keri Hilson and light background vocals from Nicole Scherzinger. I really wasn’t all into this song that much at first but it’s getting there!

Fergie ft. Soulja Boy » “Clumsy (Collipark Remix)” » LISTEN » (Full) » Yelp, you read right. Collipark decided to make a remix to Fergie’s song “Clumsy” and decided to throw Soulja Boy in the mix! I like the original of “Clumsy” so much that any remix wouldn’t do me, not even Soulja Boy swayed me, sorry.

Chingy ft. Ludacris + Bobby Valentino » “Gimme Dat (Explicit)” » LISTEN » (Full) » “Gimme Dat” is slated to be Chingy’s second single from his forth studio album Hate It Or Love It (Def Jam/DTP). The single features stellar production by Full Scale and guest appearances by Ludacris and Bobby Valentino (vocals). The bass did it for me, this is my cut! Very nice single choice. Hmm, I wonder if Chingy reads blogs becos he has definitely stepped his game up this time around I’d say!

It seems like the entertainment industry has seen a new death, one after another, for the past month or so. Crazy stuff… TMZ is reporting that Ike Turner died in his San Marcos, California home. Sources tell the popular website that he may have died in his sleep. R.I.P. Ike

Ike was recently in the news (back in May) when he was arrested on some charges from the 1980’s. We posted a video a while back of him talking to TMZ about how it all went down.

Nu-soulstress Erykah Badu recently revealed the name of her 4th full length album, Nu AmErykah, which will feature production by Madlib, 9th Wonder, Mike “Chav” Chavarria, and a guest spot from Bilal the LP’s due date is expected for a Winter release (February 26th) of next year via Universal/Motown. In reference to the prior provisional title, Kabbah, Badu says that that name was never final and that she prefers to wait and title her albums once they’re finished:

“I named the album Nu AmErykah because I’m dealing with whatever is to come instead of what was,” said Badu. Apparently being her 3rd LP, Worldwide Underground, in 2003 due to lackadaisical sales which was due to timing the singer proclaims, “I didn’t feel like doing the whole promotional circuit for that record. I’d just had a baby.” – source

Nu AmErykah will include a total of 18 pre-recorded tracks on a two disc format and will include the psychedelic single “Honey” produced by 9th Wonder.

I don’t know how it is in your neck of the woods but this song has been on heavy rotation on the radio around here in Greenville, SC! Here’s the official video for Kirk Franklin’s brand new single, “Declaration (This is It)” which comes from his new album, “The Fight of My Life.” The album is due in stores next week, December 18th. I love this song!
