Zo! & Phonte – ‘Return Of The Mack’ feat. Tigallo The Tay God
They never should have gave you nikkaz studio equipment! Hahaaa! This song is hilarious with all the ‘Swag Swag Swag Lil B type’ ad-libs going on, but on a serious level this smoothed out remake of the Mark Morrison original song ‘Return Of The Mack’ sounds pretty good. He when they seem like they are just playing with the music it still sounds good.

Behind The Scenes: Charlie Wilson Working With Fantasia On Roger Troutman Remake (Video)
This is some great footage of the legendary Charlie Wilson speaking with Fantasia about an idea he has to remake the classic Roger Troutman hit ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’. I’m not a fan of remakes on classics as big as the original, but at least its a legend like Charlie Wilson trying to make it work. If you just happen to be too young to remember or just plain ignorant I’ve included the song below so you can get familiar with the classic that also happens to be one of my favorites……

Jill Scott – ‘Shame’ feat. Eve | ‘Lovely Day’ (Bill Withers Cover)
Jilly from Philly is about to hit us with some new joints this year! Jill Scott is set to release a new album called ‘Light Of The Sun’ on Warner Bros & her former label Hidden Beach is going to drop a compilation album of unreleased joints called ‘Just Before Dawn’. I’m assuming the Hidden Beach project due later this year was a part of the agreement involving her break from her former label. That’s wasup! Check out the ‘Shame’ joint featuring Eve which is sort of a nod to the Special Ed classic ‘The Magnificient’. The ‘Lovely Day’ track is a cover of the Bill Withers classic too!
