Cave talk

Excuse me while I shake the gravel off myself because I've been hiding in a cave. And if I were literally hiding in one it would be pretty just like this one. How dare I not post a blog entry in over a month?! A month and one day to be exact. To all my readers and my fab 3 followers I apologize, but a sistah has been busy commuting back and forth from Boston to NYC to intern at GIANT twice a week. [Sidebar] Aww look at the kiddies playing red light, green light in the school yard in Harlem... Too cute. Yes, i'm blogging from Megabus and i'm so happy they have wifi on this bad boy cuz my Macbook is my entertainment on this bus. From the looks of what people are wearing outside and how folks are already chilling hard on every block from 125th to 34th street its going to be a nice day in the city...

Back to da biz: Music, music, music... Its ridiculous how music can evolve in just a month. I don't know where to begin. Well, last week both J.Holiday and The-Dream released their sophomore albums, which were both aight in my opinion. I felt like both could have stepped outside of the box just a tad bit, the albums were good, but not great. Sorry fellas, love ya, but gotta keep it real. I must admit that The-Dream does have a few more bangers on his album than J.

Keri Hilson released a diss track supposedly addressing Beyonce and Ciara. Check it out! Keri Hilson's album is expected to be released on March 24, which I am anticipating to have the official copy although she tried to diss the Queen B. This track is a couple of weeks old, but it gives me a chuckle every time I hear Keri's feisty verse. "I shot the sheriff, but wait til I shoot these B****** Down!!!"



That track is a trip, huh?

I've been really in hiding because I slept on Kid Cudi whose single "Day and Night" I've beem mimicking for a few weeks now. My cousin Krissy and I start rolling every time we hear this hook. From the sound of his voice its pretty obvious that this dude has worked with Kanye West and he's signed to G.O.O.D. Music, which is Kanye's label which released both Common's Be and John Legend's Get Lifted albums. Kid Cudi was born in Cleveland, Ohio and now resides in NYC.

"Day and Night" reminds me of Kanye's Heartless video.



There are so many remixes to this song including this one featuring Jermaine Dupri.

Mos Def finally released the date for his new album The Ecstatic, which should drop on June 9th. Can't wait! Love him!
