Love King is the title track from The-Dream’s third (and apparently last) album. It’s no secret that The-Dream’s last album Love Vs. Money was one of my favourite albums of 2009 and I’m sure I’m not the only one that felt that way. Despite the fact that dude has written countless amounts of hits now [...]

LOL at you losers who never listened to Electrik Red’s How To Be A Lady: Volume 1. Well, just so you know, it’s time to play catch-up because Volume 2 is out soon and I’m That Chick is the very first taste from the album. World domination to be continued. [The Fader]

The Grammy award nominations have been announced and Beyonce leads the stakes with ten nominations. But the big winner here could be Taylor Swift because, apart from Michael Jackson, no one’s had a year quite like her.

There’s a whole list of reasons why we like this song. The school yard rhymes. The deadpan delivery. The scattered handclaps. And of course, there’s always that Dream reference. But I’m not going to waste your time. I know you’re busy. Just listen to it. Then you can go right ahead and buy it over here.

I really liked the audacity of Fabolous’ video for ‘My Time’. The entire concept of ‘Loso’s Way’ seemed to show off his renewed sense of direction and marketing manner. His new video for ‘Everything, Everyday, Everywhere’ featuring Keri Hilson (below) is a little more subdued, honing in on what makes a video work on whats left [...]
