Mýa – “Down” (Prod. By MyGuyMars) [Video]
April 26, 2019
Mmm mm mm! And OMG! Is Mýa just gonna stay hot and make hot music forever? Looks like it. And speaking of looks… WOW! Is Mýa actually asking if I am “Down” with visuals like this? That’s a rhetorical question, right?

DJ Yogi – A Soulful Tape (Insomniac Show #53) [Mixtape]
April 25, 2019
He’s back! Well, he never left. To be honest, I have been lax in keeping up with the output of the homie DJ Yogi (Yogi, Yogi, Yogi). My bad. But dude stays putting up dope mix shows like this on the Mixcloud. If you are on that, you should follow him there. One of the best on that platform #RESPECT #ALLCAPS #nocap

Anderson .Paak – “Come Home” feat. Andre 3000
April 24, 2019
This is the collab that will draw most heads to the “Ventura†LP. My opinion. But probably facts by now. In fact, I’m betting you are going to give this a spin just to hear 3 Stacks go in on the feature for Anderson.

Sammy Smylez – “Say I Do” (Prod. By P.S. Beats) [Video]
April 23, 2019
Sammy Smylez is back! This time he is dolo on this “Say I Do” track, but not in life. Warning: This might tug at your heartstrings; almost enough to make you wish cuffing season was a little bit longer.
Almost… Ha!
But seriously, this is a really sweet vid I think you’ll enjoy.

April 8, 2019
A different kind of artist. A different kind of grind. And H.E.R. has been in the music game a long time. Got some stories to tell, so she tells the Breakfast Club.
Gabriella “Gabi” Wilson better known as H.E.R. talks the pressure of putting out quality music to feed her fans. The Grammy Award-winning artist also tells the story of when she found out Janet Jackson was in the audience of her show.

April 5, 2019
Get it in and bring in a friend… Get some of this soul bounce dopeness from Khalid (featuring SAFE) off the new “Free Spirit” album. “Don’t Pretend” you don’t like it. Give in to the rhythm.
Lion Babe – “Western World” feat. Raekwon (Video)
April 4, 2019
Okay, Lion Babe! I see you. Have not seen anything on here since last year around this time from her… I gotta take the hit for that. Rare beauty. Rare talent. Dope on her own. But here, in “Western World,” she is also dope by association. Raekwon on the feature and cosign backs the facts!

March 13, 2019

Trey Songz – “Chi Chi” feat. Chris Brown (Video)
February 25, 2019
Here we go! You already know that a video from Trigga and C Brown is gonna feature a catchy tune and a LOT of Honeyz… a LOT of BANGING Honeyz!! So there’s not much more that needs to be said about “Chi Chi.”
(You’ve probably hit the play button by this point and are not even reading anymore. And I ain’t mad at’cha. Haha!)

Dawn Richard – “sauce” (Prod. By Cole M.G.N. x Hudson Mohawke) [Video] (NSFW)
February 22, 2019
Oh my damn! Dawn Richard has undergone another full transformation into a “new breed” on us. I would say this video is sexy AF but that just doesn’t do it justice. So hot I am SWEATING! The concepts and the lyrics alone would get a Not Safe For Work rating, but then add the may-as-well-be-naked visuals and wowzerrrrs!
Don’t watch this “sauce” video at your desk. You have been warned.
Check out the Editor’s Note from iTunes on Dawn’s latest album after the jump… after you watch this a couple of times!

Mýa – “With You” feat. My Guy Mars (Video)
February 19, 2019
Smooth and easy. Still hot! Like Mýa after all these years. She just doesn’t age, but the content stays ‘grown-up’ (though the feature by My Guy Mars is more like ‘what the kids are into nowadays’).

Ciara – “Greatest Love” (Video)
February 13, 2019
Dedicated to Russell Wilson, officially The Luckiest Quarterback In The NFL. Tom Brady can have the Lombardi Trophy. Ciara IS the trophy.
Safiya Oni – “FTT”
February 11, 2019
Butter smooth swaying R&B music to groove to right here. Enjoy this Safiya Oni joint she calls “FTT.” Plus she has some hot pics on the Instagram if you are into that sort of thing (wink).
Ella Mai – “Shot Clock” (Video)
January 24, 2019
Oh yes, yes, with a side of yes sauce! The sexy one we all wanna ‘boo up’ is back with another one off her self-titled project (out now). It’s Ella Mai, trying to tell y’all to step up and shoot that shot before the “Shot Clock” winds down.

India Arie – “That Magic” (Video)
December 28, 2018
I checked: We have not posted on India Arie since 2013. Bet your bottom dollar that she’s still got “That Magic” though. Or you could just watch her latest video above. No need to guess or gamble.
(Man oh man. Whoever inspired this song is a lucky dude. India is singing life to him… to all brothers.)

Ray J Speaks On Putting ‘Old Controversy’ Behind Him And Moving On To Raycon And Family Business (Video)
December 19, 2018
Wow. Why would Ray J start by assigning a ‘side’ role to himself? At least call yourself an ‘honorable co-host.’ How about ‘business man?’
Ray J On Expanding Raycon Global, Fatherhood And Staying Drama-Free
– Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM
Raycon, eh? Okay, Ray, get your hustle on and on to the next level. Was not aware before. Now that I am, I am not mad.

NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series Presents: H.E.R. (Video)
December 13, 2018
A whole lot less stand-offish and enigmatic for this Tiny Desk set, as she should be, H.E.R. treats the intimate gathering of souls to warm blend of R&B and Soul, peppered with moments of Hip-Hop adjacent styled delivery. Enjoy!
Cool shades. Cute singer 😉
