The PlayList (DJ Jazzy Jeff et. al.) – “1995” feat. Glenn Lewis [Video]
July 25, 2017
Yeah. It seems only right that DJ Jazzy Jeff’s PlayList Retreats bear smooth tasty fruit like this. A taste of the full plate “Chasing Goosebumps.” So so dope! The soulful singing of Glenn Lewis over a R&B’d out track. Perfect.

R&B/Soul: Musiq Soulchild – “Simple Things” (Video)
July 21, 2017
We talk about taking it back to a ‘Golden Era’ for Hip-Hop, but how about R&B like this? Not gone go ‘old man’ in this post, this new Musiq Soulchild jawn is that good soulful how-it-should-be music. The instrumentation and vocals. Dope! Video for “Simple Things” off the forthcoming “Feel the Real” album.
R&B: 112 – “Strawberry”
July 20, 2017
She likes the spice of life. I know the flavor very well.
112 taking it up tempo but no less smooth. The boys from ATL are back. On their grown men with this “Strawberry” letter.
Paloma Ford – “Waves” feat. Dave East
July 12, 2017
Wowwww, Paloma Ford is really channeling Miss Jackson – mainly because she’s NASTY – on this track! And all that stuff she’s singing about doing that she’s offering to ‘make a movie’ about… Dave East (with the feature bars) seems to be volunteering to ummm… co-star with her. Ha! Check out “Waves.”
Snoop Dogg Welcomes Miguel To The GGN Set (Video)
July 8, 2017
You know an artist spends a career trying to get to that ‘one name level’ right? To get so big in the game, in the fandom overall that people know and call them by one name. Not Patti LaBelle but Patti. Not Michael Jackson but Michael. Not Prince Rogers Nelson but Prince. Well, Miguel came out the gate on that ish! And he is living the rep already. Seems only right, Miguel being from the West-West and all, that Snoop had him over to GGN to talk about his career, coming up and more.
Miguel needs no introduction. The mononymous singer/songwriter has carved out his own lane over the past five years with sexy radio hits, including the Grammy-winning single, “Adorn.”
After three infectious albums, marked by sounds that drew comparisons to Prince, Miguel is truly making the case to take the crown as the king of new wave R&B. As 2017 progresses, he’s coming back with a steady stream of funky new music, including “2 Lovin U,” that’s sure to climb the charts.
To celebrate its rollout, Miguel stopped by the GGN studio, where he played his latest tracks for Snoop and the two chopped it up on everything from performing for the fans to fanning out themselves.

But why was the Stormy Fronts part so short though?? And why was she Stormy Trooper this time?

SZA – “CTRL” (Album Stream)
July 3, 2017
You peeped that “Drew Barrymore” video we posted on here the other day, right? That single was off the “CTRL” album from SZA. If we had the whole album to share, we would. Sooooo… look out belooow!
Terrace Martin Presents The Pollyseeds – “Up & Awayâ€
June 30, 2017
Another one from The Pollyseeds? Yes indeed. This is some good riding music; actually expected to hear an emcee start riding this track out of nowhere. Just has a smooth emcee’s feel. Maybe somebody will rap over a ‘remix’ or something. Still dope if they do or don’t. Check it out! You can pre-order “Sounds Of Crenshaw, Vol. 1” today.

Jhené Aiko – “While We’re Young” (Prod. By Fisticuffs) [Video]
June 30, 2017
Anybody remember the movie “50 First Dates” with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore? Well, Aiko is doing the Drew all up in this. Kinda clever. Tell you boo that we should be making memories “While We’re Young”… to have good times to talk about when we are old (or tomorrow, if you have short-term memory issues like Jhené in this visual today).

DeJ Loaf – “No Fear”
June 27, 2017
Really feeling this. Nice bop to it making it a dance track for those who got moves for the groove, but it also sounds good for a sunny day ride out. Just in time for summer, Dej Loaf is saying ‘Try Me’ once again… but a bit softer. Have “No Fear” though, because the edgy sensuality vibe you dig is still there. And the single is out there now; on iTunes.
(Plus that pic is kinda cute.)
Alternative/R&B: SZA – “Drew Barrymore” (Video)
June 27, 2017
TDE’s top sexy SZA releases a visual for “Drew Barrymore” of her “Ctrl” album (out now)… and damn if the real life Drew Barrymore ain’t fall through for a cameo. Dope!
R&B: Jhené Aiko – “Hello Ego” feat. Chris Brown (Prod. Dot Da Genius x Fisticuffs)
June 22, 2017
Jhené Aiko Chilombo has done it again! Um, “Hello Ego”… we mean, she and Chris Brown – with the production of Dot Da Genius and an assist from Fisticuffs – did it again. You don’t just go and make an R&B hit by yourself, Aiko. You know?
(She knows.)

Showtime Will Debut Its Whitney Houston Biopic “Can I Be Me” On August 26th (Trailer)
June 19, 2017
Lifetime shot its shot (with plenty of shots) at telling the story of Whitney. Lots of people were not feeling it… at all. Let’s see how Showtime’s gonna do. Not too bad by comparison, given this “Whitney Houston: Can I Be Me?” trailer. It seems like the film will be intriguing, at least; hopefully, true-to-life. Whitney was a part of the lives of a couple of generations who felt like they knew her and were always wanting to know more. If the story is going to be about her, let it be about her, not about ‘ratings’ (stepping down from soapbox).
Understand legendary superstar Whitney Houston’s story and what lied behind one of the greatest voices of our time. Don’t miss the premiere of the SHOWTIME Documentary Whitney. “Can I Be Me” on Saturday, August 26th at 9PM ET/PT.

R&B: Teyana Taylor – “Drippin” feat. Migos (Video) [NSFW]
June 10, 2017
Know how sometimes we feel a need to admonish you to watch the entire video? We’re not gonna do that for this Teyana Taylor video. You don’t wanna watch, then don’t. Haaaa! Visuals for “Drippin” (featuring Migos). Sooooo damn HOT, and as Tey is naked in paint for ost of the vid, this is definitely Not Safe For Work!
Mélat – “Negn” (Video)
June 7, 2017
Mélat is, once again, so sultry while being subdued. It’s paradoxical, but trust it is appreciated. Talented, tantalizing… the video just highlights it. Check out “Negn” to understand why Mélat gets such props and press on here. And the link to the full length is included below.
More. Much more. After the jump… a personal narrative about her name, her album “MéVen” revealing another trait of Mélat’s, and herself – vulnerabity, bravely on display.
(Sung in the tongue of Amharic. Lyrics can be found here.)
R&B: Ne-Yo – “Another Love Song”
June 6, 2017
Nice up-tempo work by singer/songwriter Ne-Yo. A soulful R&B loosey you’re gonna wanna nod and even dance to. It’s not just “Another Love Song” even if that’s what dude is known for and what the title says.
DJ John McSwain – “More Love: A Playlist By Vacations” (EP)
June 2, 2017
DJ John McSwain’s (aka Vacations) new mashup EP (“More Love”) seems very appropos given the two being ‘mashed’ here: Drake has massive love for Sade (like the rest of us); and Sade is “No Ordinary Love” indeed. So there you go, and here you go. Enjoy the music.

Philadelphia 76’er Joel Embiid Makes A Play For Rihanna At The Bar (Video)
May 20, 2017
I mean… look at myself!
Hahaaaaa! You know how some athletes might clam up, play tough or off-brush when talk show hosts hint at blatantly push a love-life line of questionning? That is NOT Joel Embiid’s problem…AT ALL!
Shoot your shot, player! Not mad at you. Of course, you might consider that Jamele Hill is looking pretty nice and Kelly Rowland is hella sexy (as always); and they’re right there.
Because we’re considering it. Yeaaahhh, considering all that right now…

Ne-Yo – “Earn Ur Love”
May 15, 2017
Ne-Yo is singing, “Some things are beyond a price tag” and that he feels pain for the woman who gives it up for a new purse. Wanting a woman who knows what she is really worth is some grown man ‘ish for certain; a grown man who is a new husband and father… Like Ne-Yo.
A Good Man will earn you. He’ll work for it and won’t mind working for it because he recognizes your worth. Ladies, find a man that’ll “Earn Your Love.” Enjoy this appetizer guys. Album coming soon.
– Ne-Yo
Oh, don’t worry. Ne-Yo quoted some Tupac in “Earn Ur Love,” too. Still sort of a player; just not crushing a lot [of other women] anymore (haaa). Good music here.
(So who’s the wifey that walked that aisle with the R&B bachelor? Well, she is some Eye Candy we posted on before… Crystal Renay… But @ItsCrystalSmith now.)
