Haha. I have no clue where that title came from! Anyways, I’ve been on a huge R&B kick lately and I’ve randomly been posting joints from Ne-Yo, Cassie, etc. So I figure why not drop a (hopefully) weekly post that brings you the weeks leaks in R&B, pop, soul, etc? I figure there are dopeboyz and dopegirlz that need the baby making music, the I wanna dance my ass off music, etc. Right? Here goes new music from Ne-Yo, Ryan Leslie, Mario, Avant, Danity Kane and more.

Shouts to Splash, Mr. X, Wexx & UrbanMusic for more of these! And now I will rest…

I’m actually not sure whose song this is and who is the feature but Akon, Bun B & Pimp C all share mic time. UrbanMusic is saying that it should be UGK’s upcoming album with unreleased material. I put Akon as the artists as I’m praying that this is on an Akon album instead. I really hope this isn’t included in any UGK related release. Produced by Konvict.

I don’t care what anyone says. GCH are dope. I’ve been fuckin with them ever since my lady put me on years back. Papercut Chronicles is my shit still! I’ve got a few unreleased projects from Travie, etc that I might let fly if I get any requests. Good times. Good times. Big shouts to the lovely h.e.r. Gym Class mixtape coming soon!

No, there is nothing new on this post as far as music, but I felt it’s only right that I speak on this upcoming project from Detroit’s Zo! and Phonte (of Little Brother). Te recently spoke with DX about the project saying that it’s their way of paying homage to the stuff they grew up listening too. If you aren’t aware Zo! & Tigallo Love the 80’s! is a project that is chalk full of covers to 80’s R&B and pop songs. And to be honest, it’s one of my most anticipated albums of 2008. I had the honor to preview a few tracks during our chill time in MPLS and despite me not knowing a few of the originals (since I’m a real 80’s baby and was too young to remember) the music itself is amazing. Te also said they were very serious with everything, from the vocal side, to the production side, to the final mixing and mastering. And based off what I heard I can’t argue that at all! Be on the lookout for a new leak from the project sometime next week (most likely on the ever-so-dope Gordon Gartrell Radio podcast). Until then, enjoy the three tracks that have been released in the past.

Akon and the Hip Hop Gremlin hop on Mariah Carey’s single. What? Lil Wayne jumps on a track after Jay-Z already did? No way! Still, Wayne brings it. I thoroughly enjoy him when he comes correct like this. Shouts to Splash as usual. You know, Def Jam/R&B is his thing right? Dude stays on point with it. UPDATE: So I dig both Hov and Weezy on this. So why not mix them together? That’s right, a 2DB Remix haha.

Man I need some food. I hate the fact that I get soo caught up in work that I forget to eat anything and it’s 5:30 in the afternoon already! With that said, I’m off to get some Panda while I leave you with this brand new video for Estelle’s new single No Substitute Lover. If you haven’t copped Shine yet, you’re not Shake’s friend haha.

Busta hops on Estelle’s hit, American Boy. I prefer Kanye-to-the still but Busta holds his own. Anyone else expecting a great album with Blessed? I know I’m looking forward to it. Shouts to my New Music Cartel fam splash for email. I also included a freestyle with Busta, his court paper holder, Reek Da Villain and Show Money. Enjoy!

Looks like Duffy is taking a page out of Ms. Winehouse’s book (see: Rehab (rmx) with Jay-Z). It’s crazy how much I’m feeling all these chicks from the UK. Hopefully this helps her to that next level. Cool & Dre on the production and splash on the hook up (again). Dude’s on fire today.

It’s been awhile since we posted any American Gangster remixes! My man Ketchums hit me with the linkage to this joint. The cover, title, concept all seem really dope to me so I had to download and check it out. Through 2 half-assed listens I have come to the conclusion that it is cool. Not mind-blowing and def not what it could be, but it’s straight. Check out more from Wizz Kidd.
