♫ Album Review: LeToya Luckett – Lady Love
Ex-Destiny’s Child member LeToya Luckett returns with her sophomore album Lady Love after the success of her No. 1 self-titled debut. Lady Love doesn’t submit itself to today’s dance pop craze and LeToya stays true to her R&B roots. Everyone loves good old school R&B but is this good enough to keep the Houston-born singer [...]
♫ Album Review: Jordin Sparks – Battlefield
The youngest American Idol winner and platinum selling artist Jordin Sparks returns with her sophomore album Battlefield.

♫ [ALBUM REVIEW] Common – “Universal Mind Control”
Common took it back! Common did a 180 and took hip-hop back to its days of electro, teaming up with Pharrell Williams, who comes off like a modern day version of the 1980s studio whizzes. While we’re used to Common in the role of poetic prophet or self righteous rhyme slayer, Universal Mind Control is [...]
♫ [ALBUM REVIEW] Ludacris – “Theater of the Mind”
I’ll keep this simple. This album is outrageously hot and it’s probably the best Ludacris album since Word of Mouf. When folks consider the best MCs, Ludacris usually isn’t in the mix, but Chris Bridges has been one of the most prolific and consistent rappers of our era and deserves to be on the tip [...]

♫ [ALBUM REVIEW] Kanye West – 808s & Heartbreaks
Kanye West – 808’s and Heartbreaks – Dropped out of college. Then he re-enrolled, and, on his third album, finally graduated. Next, he was supposed to get a “good ass job.”
Instead, he had his heartbroken. With life, expect the unexpected. Kanye West has had one hell of a year. West’s first and only [...]

♫ Ashanti – The Declaration
Ashanti is back with a new longly anticpated album, The Declaration. This album is not what I expected, but in a very good way. Ashanti has came out of the box and broaden her lyrics and melodies. This album is an R&B album but it’s an upbeat album that doesn’t give you a lot “ballads” [...]
