Gorilla Zoe likes girls who like girls and he likes to sing about it. In his new song “I Like Dem Girls” produced by Drumma Boy from his upcoming Don’t Feed The Animals project, Zoe lays it down once again with his gruff vocals and it actually works. I’m getting a Prince circa 1989 feel to this track. I can only imagine the video. I’m picturing Wendy & Lisa on the keyboards and a newly slimmed down Gorilla Zoe in backless pants and purple ruffles. I kidd…I kidd!

Check it out below and let me know what you think:

Meet Laura Izibor. Ms. Izibor, hot new songstress from Atlantic Records has been making mad waves in the music industry with her soulful vocals and lyricism. She’s been named ‘Artist to Watch’ by both Vibe Magazine and Rolling Stone. I had the pleasure of witnessing Laura’s live performance a few nights ago and I can honestly say she earned both of those titles.

Born to a working class family in Dublin, Ireland, Izibor admits she didn’t grow up in a musical household.  “My mother raised five kids on her own, so there wasn’t much time to buy records – it wasn’t that kind of home.  I found myself fancying music at about 13.” Once the love for musicians like Stevie Wonder, Candi Stanton, and Roberta Flack took hold, she was smitten for good.  “One door opened to the next – first I discovered Marvin Gaye, and then Otis Redding, and I just fell in love with soul music.” Full Bio (word file)

The 20 year old musical sensation is set to drop her first cd April 28th entitled, Let The Truth Be Told.  Check out her first single, “From My Heart to Yours” as well as a live performance of “Don’t Stay” below:

Atlantic Records held a private listening party for T.I.’s hot artist, B.o.B., Friday evening. B.o.B., short for Bobby Ray is a Decatur bred musical phenomenon who’s been featured on several Grand Hustle songs. He’s got a hot song in rotation (I’ll be in the Sky), which is almost unheard of for a new artist without an album…AND he’s got a grand endorsement from The King himself:

I know that a lot of times it take an artist this talented, this diversified a little longer to break on an underbelly level cause it’s very very hard to get him to come back down to earth with us sometimes but I’m letting you know that nothing could be more worth your time than this artist right here…right now. This is the future of what I consider respectable in hip hop. It ain’t nothing this dude can’t do. If he don’t rap, it ain’t cause he can’t it’s cause he don’t feel like it. If he ain’t on no hood sh*t, it cause that ain’t how he feel.

So, rather than force him to do something he don’t wanna do, I’d just rather sit back and admire all the things he does do. He does the sh*t well, so it brings me great honor and enormous pleasure to introduce B.o.B. to the rest of the world and I hope y’all stand behind him as much as I do. And with that said I must bid you farewell. Keep it pimpin…

I can honestly say, B.o.B. is the truth and I CAN”T WAIT for his cd to drop. In case you still need some convincing, download the “Who the F*ck is B.o.B.” Mixtape below: (more…)

Ciara is making waves this week with two underground remixes.  There may even be a “Fantasy Ride” Mixtape somewhere making the rounds but I know nothing of it…yet.  The first track below is CiCi’s cover of Beyonce’s hot “Diva” song.  She’s reppin the “A” fully so don’t even try blasting her flow over here.  I like it and thats all that matters…Now that 50 cent song….that’s gonna have to grow on me. Ciara and her boo (or is it ex-boo this week?) collaborate on a new track called “Slow Down” and I’m not really feeling it…but you might.  Check em both out below.

I admit I can’t be all things to all people…and I slip occasionally…but why am I just seeing this Kardinall Offishall video featuring Keri Hilson? My next question is WHY is she featured everywhere while we are all waiting on HER album to drop?  Wassup with that???  OK…that’s all my questions for today.  You may proceed

Video ~ Keri Hilson Live @ Puritan Mill (Atlanta)

I attended a listening party the other day that featured up and coming hot artists and decided to share with you a few of my video clips from the session. The first is Attitude’s single “Blow Ya Back Out.” It’s one of those songs you hear in passing that makes you stop in your tracks and say “What did he just say??” The lyrics may be a bit risque but it’s all good… dude made a song just for all us ladies who want their man to take control. I ain’t complaining not one bit… Download

Don’t worry…I didn’t forget about you men!  Miss Brown (formerly Chinkie Brown) has a hit on her hands as well with “Wonderland”…this song should have blew up a while ago cause it’s been circling the net for a minute.
