This Week in Music

Well, as cyberspace probably already knows my girl Janet Jackson was rushed to the hospital during rehearsals. She canceled a couple of shows due to her ailment. Preggers? Who knows, but thats what I suspect. I don't want to start any rumors, but can't you just imagine a little JD running around ATL talking bout Who's bad?! I can. I just pray that Ms. Jackson recovers and hits the stage to sing Feedback, Feedback oh!

This week "I love New York" star Punk's Wifey Jennifer Hudson released her debut album, which I haven't heard entirely yet, but I can almost suspect it to be nothing less than fire.

Mr. Swagger himself T.I.P. released his most anticipated album, "Paper Trail" which includes his hit single "whateva you like" and "Live your life" featuring Rihanna. I absolutely love that song! Live my life!!! That's da jamn! T.I. just makes house arrest seem so appealing if it means being tucked away with him... Oh, Tiny you lucky doll you. Who can you run to? Fineness, meaning your baby daddy.

Alicia Keys & Jack White premiered a song and video together "Another way to die" for the upcoming Bond movie "Quantum of Solace." This video just exemplifies the extremes that Alicia Keys can go through without people looking at her like she has a head like Medusa. This collaboration is out of the box! And i'm hating to love it!





What else is new? Although Jazmine Sullivan's album is almost a couple of weeks old, i'm Absoulutely Loving It! In addition to the sistah singing like my gurl L.Boogie, she is truly a wonderful writer. I feel like she has written the soundtrack of my current life. She sings about love, abuse, and chasing after your career. Who can't relate to that? I'm seriously in love with the following tracks, "Lions, Tigers, and Bears", "Dream Big" "Live a lie", "Fear" and hell every dang song on the album. My gurl is singing the truth!!! "I'm not scared of Lions and Tigers, and Bears, but i'm scared of loving you. Just cuz I love you and you love me, that doesn't mean that we're meant to be." Love, love, love it! Go cop Jazmine Sullivan's "Fearless" album! Do yourself a favor and don't bootleg or imeem the tracks, it just won't do this album Justice. She is currently on tour with Maxwell and his fine self, so catch them both at a city near you...

Long time gone...

It's been over two months since i've written a single blog entry. Why? Well, a sistah has been going through so much in her personal life, which hasn't allowed me a second, minute, or an hour to blog.

First of all, I was assaulted by a complete stranger on Aug 23, 2008 while I was watching the caribbean parade in my hometown Boston. I was knocked out unconscious with a brick straight in the face causing serious damages to my face, which later healed by the grace of God. I don't even want to go into the gory details of how I looked, felt, how the past couple of months have been for me, trying to keep my head above water, managing the expenses of medical bills and credit card bills, and moving on with my life... It has been one of the most draining and tragic experiences and I would have to write a novel, which should be coming out soon about how I survived and beat the obstacles that were and are stacked up against me. My only answer is, GOD. You can't get through anything without him on your side guiding you, putting good friends in your corner, and sweet whispers and roars of encouragement. Thank You Jesus! Besides God, Friends, and Family (when they're not stressing me out) music has definitely helped me in my healing process.
