R&B: Ro James – “Excuse Me” (Video)
November 14, 2018
Excuse me. You must be out yo’ mind, baby… You got me f**ked up!
Mm mm mm! Ain’t that the way love goes? Well, more like heartbreak and strife. All part of love and life though, right? Gotta give it to Ro. He gave us a hit with this one!

November 8, 2018
Michelle & Chad sitting in a tree… praying and meditating on God’s greatness and their future together… Yes, for real.
Michelle Williams & Chad Johnson On Saving Themselves For Marriage, Couples Therapy + Their New Show
– Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM
Sure, they talk about ‘saving themselves’ for marriage, but they talk way more about us as a people needing to get comfortable with seeking out counseling – couples & individual. Great talk.
(Watch through to the end for the most biblical, lyrical, pimp-tastical line ever… “What did Moses do with his staff?” Haha!)

R&B/Soul: Maxwell – “Shame” (Video)
November 1, 2018
New music and visuals. Soul-stirring, high concept, purposefully ambiguous. From Maxwell. So it’s kinda par for the course. Enjoy the experience…

Rhythm Roulette With Tuxedo (Jake One x Mayer Hawthorne) [Video]
October 17, 2018
Hawthorne’s of blue-eyed soul vibes and Jake One’s hit-laden list of production creds are brought to bear on the blindfolded beat-making challenge.
Jake One and Mayer Hawthorne form like Voltron to become production duo Tuxedo, the latest contestants on MASS APPEAL’s Rhythm Roulette. The pair stopped by Good Records – the shop, not the label – on East 5th Street in NYC, tied bandanas over their eyes, and grabbed up three random records to sample.

If you can’t cook me a plate after we mate, I ain’t ya man!
Heard that homie, but whoooo is that sexy mother-MILF momma in this Masego video?? Ohhh, that’s Yaris Sanchez as ‘Miss Johnson’ (hey, Miss Johnson… when you gone let me…?)!
And the music is dope. Very dope. I just got distracted by all that THICK-a-liciousness!

R&B: Lihric – “Go” feat. CJ Money (Prod. By Tony Factory)
October 9, 2018
LISTEN! Tony Factory has produced more hits in his Sam Peezy days than a lot of these ‘hitmakers’ out here. Facts. But you don’t have to listen to me. Just do what I do: LISTEN to the MUSIC! Now… “Go” (by Lihric, featuring CJ Money; more on them after the jump). Linked that single and “The Weekend” mixtape below.

Ella Mai – “Whatchamacallit” feat. Chris Brown
October 5, 2018
Are you ready for that Ella Mai full-length to drop? Because it’s coming. Maybe this single with Chris Brown will help. Yeah. Get ready, stay ready… for one more fling before y’all cuff down for the season. Ha!

Bri Steves – “Jealousy” (Video)
October 2, 2018
Maybe “They Don’t Know…” about how Bri Steves can take a classic R&B jawn, shave off the slow drag parts, add copious amounts of funky spice, double the sexy, and serve it hot on these streets! But they should. Why not start with this “Jealousy” video and learn though?
R&B: Lloyd – “Excited” (Video)
September 20, 2018
Great song and video! Channeling every bit of that jammy-jam smoking hot dance track energy, and got some Honeyz in the vid (even some guys in there for you lady to look at in case she sneaks up on you while watching). Off Lloyd’s recently-released album (linked below).
KeShay Love – “Breathless” (Prod. By Prince “BlkMagic” Damons) [Video]
September 19, 2018
Smoldering hotness from KeShay Love. Rolling out with the girls, into the nightlife, and coming back with that dude to tuck her in. Score one for a woman’s right to end the night right! No hate.
(Well, no hate, but a bit of jealousy at dude getting to get with the sexy thick Lady Love and make her “Breathless” all night.

Chris Brown – “All The Time”
September 12, 2018
C Breez sliding in with a homer right at the end of Summer deadline. Fall is right around the corner. As the weather breaks, chill with this smooth-with-the roughness “All The Time” jawn.
(And #CuffingSeason is about on deck fellas. Time to think about wooing for the winter… Maybe play this to let your ‘prospect’ know she is your baby-driving-you-crazy.)
Miguel – “Vote” (Prod. By Mark Ronson)
August 17, 2018
Placement on the “Crazy Rich Asians” soundtrack (that movie is poised to do some decent end-of-summer numbers) is a good look. Big name like Mark Ronson on production. Yep, “Vote” checks all the right boxes for a move to keep Miguel’s name on bubble out there in the streets.

H.E.R. – “I Used to Know Her: The Prelude” (EP)
August 8, 2018
It’s funny how H.E.R. put out an EP after H.E.R. LP situation… Well, not ‘funny’ so much… just heard the first track of this set following in the footprints of “Lost Ones” by Lauryn Hill (even calling it “Lost Souls”) and felt the line flip was appropriate. Maybe? Maybe not? Ha!
Either way, don’t stop at that song. Stream all of “I Used to Know Her: The Prelude” for the FREE.99!

Chris Brown – “Had To Do It… Sorry DJ Khaled”
August 8, 2018
Not sure if Khaled was ‘in’ on the titling of this song. Is this an apology, maybe for leaking this cut early, or an ‘apology’ for him ‘killing’ the track. Not sure what C Breezy was trying to get across, but give him credit for trying to get it across on the flip of MJ’s “Rock With You” track.

Ella Mai – “Trip”
August 6, 2018
R&B’s most remixed and sung-along songstress of late, Ella Mai, has a personal message for the fans and friends to which she’s virtually “Boo’d Up” with worldwide… shared simultaneously with the release of her latest single: “Trip.”
Like the way she sings? You’re gonna love the way your Brit Boo talks. Get that special message after the jump. Listen to the song above first.
Mereba – “Black Truck” (Prod. By 9th Wonder) [Video]
July 30, 2018
That beautiful pain that Mereba was pushing (like an all “Black Truck”) over that dope 9th Wonder beat… yeah there is a cold visual. Appropriately dope, too!

Miguel – “Python”
July 27, 2018
New sound for his ‘Ascension Tour.’ Okay then, check out the latest leak from Miguel. Something entitled “Python.” Real new, still cool.
Shawn Stockman – “Feelin Lil Som’n” (Lyric Video)
July 27, 2018
Hey, New Edition & Johnny Gill, BBD, TLC… a bunch of the R&B’ers that were Golden Era-adjacent hitmakers… are still doing their thing out here. So why not one of the Boyz II Men? Why not indeed. Apparently, Shawn was “Feelin Lil Som’n” about it all (and life and wife and more) and decided to drop off this gem.
