The “A” Pod ~ Chris Brown is a “Changed Man” ~ Free is “Droppin That Thang” + Ester Dean & Chris Brown “Drop It Low”
(Photo via ChrisBrownWeb)Chris Brown is a changed man and he’s singing about it. A leaked song appeared over the weekend where C-Breezy sings about how everybody hates Chris but he’s changed and is gonna “make it up to you.” Initially his label sent out a message that this song was old and had nothing to do with the Rihanna drama, but a few sources say the song is legit. Check it out below:
Changed Man ~ Chris Brown
I heard Free’s version of The Dream’s “Rockin That Thang” last night while in my car. I totally fell in love with it! In her version Free’s telling her man to “beat it like a drum” and sings his praises as he follows her instructions. Check it out below:

The “A” Pod ~ “Drop it Low” ~ Ester Dean (Prod. by Polow Da Don)
I’m so mad I’ve been sitting on this dayum sample cd! Absolutely furious! My patnah nem, Kaspa Da Don of Zone 4, Inc. shot me this new joint from a new singer/songwriter named Ester Dean, the newest artist signed to Polow Da Don’s? label. Anywhoo….I don’t play favorites so I didn’t even think to listen to it. Funny thing is, I was sitting in the car yesterday and heard this hot “A”zz beat on the radio. I used my trusty Shazam iPhone application to discover the name of the song and it turns out it was non other than Ester Dean. The same song that was on the disc sitting under the seat of my car! *sigh*
Take a listen Ester Dean’s “Drop it Low” (produced by Polow Da Don) below. Polow put his foot in this dayum track!
The moral of this story? Listen to your friends. Sometimes they give you good sh*t on purpose! Download link below: Continue Reading…

Monica and Mama Jones (Polow’s Mom)In partnership with Upscale magazine, super producer Polow Da Don along with his label, Zone 4, Inc, launched the F.O.C.U.S. foundation last week. F.O.C.U.S = Focusing On Completion Until Successful and concentrates on promoting a desire for education, interpersonal skills, networking and marketability within the community.
Mama & Papa Jones ~ You may remember them from my alltime favorite Polow Da Don video.Polow was said to be out of the country but in his absence, R&B diva Monica held down the “Night of Stars” event, which took place at Club Opera. Most (including me) were totally unaware that Mo was also grabbing footage for her new BET reality show ‘Still Standing’ so I’ll definitely be on the lookout for my cameo.

Philip’s arena was jumping Saturday night as the Hawks met the Caveliers yet again. Keyshia Cole sang the national anthem while her bff Monica chilled on the sidelines. T.I., Nelly, Jermaine Dupri, Polow Da Don and Keyshia’s ex and my next boo JEEEEEEEZY also took part in the festivities.
