Hello February: Go Steelers! Introducing PJ Morton & Suai
February has started off with a bang! Although i'm a little upset that the Patriots didn't do New England right this season, i'm happy that the Steelers won 27/23. Although I have a lack of football knowledge one thing is for sure, there are some fine brotha's with swagga on the Steeler's team. Troy call me!
Can you say no one on the corner has Swagga like Troy Polamalu?!
What a way to start the month off with the NFL Superbowl and reintroducing our ears to the lovely sound of Miss Jennifer Hudson's voice. Isn't she a doll? Her voice is sounding better than ever and I am so glad to see her looking fabulous and standing tall after her horrific tragedy and loss of her mom, nephew, and brother. My heart still goes out to her and her family. Stay strong Jennifer.
Listen to my gurl Pipe! She still got it!
On the bright side of music my brother from another mother said, "Kia, Kia, you gotta check out this hott artist PJ Morton!" So, I took his advice Googled the brotha and my heart was pleased when I heard PJ Morton's soulful voice and gentle lyrics. Mr. Morton, a New Orleans native and son of Bishop Paul Morton, Google him too. If you don't know, Step your spiritual game up! I find it quite ironic how church leaders children are drawn to secular music such as J.Holiday and Mario Winans who are both successful and talented artists who started singing in the lord's house. PJ Morton has worked with some greats in the music industry including Janet Jackson's boo/producer Jermaine Dupri who he helped co-write songs for platinum artists Jagged Edge and Monica. He recently worked with gospel artists Mary Mary and Musiq Soulchild.

Introducing Suai (Pronouned, "Sway")
This young woman caught my eye when I read about her in Giant magazine's Flash section and I have been hooked for the past 3 weeks. Suai is 21 years old and she hails from Detroit, Michigan. She is signed to Universal Motown Records, but she later found herself serving lattes at Starbucks because as we know celebs aren't born overnight. Suai is a triple threat songwriter, singer, and pianist. Watch out A.Keys! Suai is here and her music is a pleasure to listen to because she offers such a variation in her sound. She has worked with inda Perry, Akon, Dre & Vidal, Carvin & Ivan, Dallas Austin, B. Cox, Polow (da don, lol), Ne-yo, Neffu, Harold Lilly, Madd Scientist, Claude Kelly and Jevon "Duvall" Hill just to name a few... Suai's sound is a mixture of Chrisette Michele, A.Keys, and a dash of individuality. I just love her style, lyrics, and voice. I'm really feeling this chica!
