Here R&B songstress Alicia Keys covers rock band The Fray’s chart-topping single “How to Save a Life,” it peaked in the top 3 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. I don’t feel this was Alicia’s best, to be honest. The song just didn’t fit well with the singer’s usual sound to me, however, I did enjoy this cover.

“Shake Your Pom Pom” is another song by Missy Elliott that will also appear on the Step Up 2 the Streets soundtrack. Although a snippet, I’m not really feelin’ this one from Missy, the beat is enticing though. “SYPP” is said to be a Timbaland/Danja production but neither has confirmed as of yet.

“This Must Be Love,” by R&B/pop singer Brandy, ~~is a “rumored” song, produced by Bryan Michael-Cox, said to be included on her forthcoming album.~~ Really, I’m just happy to be hearing new material from Brandy, it’s been son long, and when little snippets of this song flown around last year people were excited.

I don’t know if any of you remember me posting on J. Valentine but he’s a new R&Ber from the Bay Area who recently signed to J Records. “I Just Wanna” is a brand new sensual track that can be streamed below. I was highly impressed with “She’s Worth the Trouble” so ultimately I was anxious to hear more new material from Valentine. With this song I get a R. Kelly feel, real smooth and melodic.

This is just an extra track I wanted to include from Duran Duran. The song is called “Tempted” and it was produced by Danja. This is my jam!

Boondocks – Season 2, Ep. 11: The S-Word

Episode 11 of Season 2 of The Boondocks. Its really primarily focused on “the N word”.

“Granddad and the good Rev. Rollo Goodlove try to cash in big after a teacher calls Riley the ‘N-word’ in school.”

Cee-Lo Green (Rollo Goodlove) and Fred Williard (Mr. Petto) guest star.

“The Hunger Strike” episode is scheduled to air next week Monday on the 28th.

Mr. Petto is originally a minor character from the strips and makes his first appearance in the tv show in this episode, similar to Cindy in “Ballin”.

The episode parodies the real-life story of Paul Dawson; a teacher who called a black student a Nigger (or Nigga?) lol.
