LL COOL J ft. Mavado – The Hustler (Music Video) #MUSICMONDAY via @lisafordblog
Ok, so LL Cool J is on my blog twice in a week's period. What's going on here? Not saying that I'm mad. lol This dude is the King of longevity and the epitome of how a rap career should be...consistently releasing quality music that relates to the current times, and LL has done that for nearly 3 decades (I think I mentioned "3 decades" in the last article), not including his successful TV and film career. "The Hustler" featuring Mavado is off of LL's…

TEYANA TAYLOR ft. Pusha T & Yo Gotti – “Maybe” (Music Video) via @lisafordblog
Teyana Taylor's "Maybe" is off of her upcoming album, "VII", which drops October 21st on Kanye's G.O.O.D Music. It's a cool dope song that reminds me a little of Aaliyah's slow rhythmic flow from back in the day.

CHRIS BROWN ft. Usher & Rick Ross – “New Flame” (VIDEO) via @lisafordblog
"New Flame" features a powerful duet with R&B giants CHRIS BROWN & USHER, laced with a flow from RICKY ROZAY. This song, alongside mega hit, "Loyal", is featured on Brown's new album, X, which will be released on Sept.15. A source told Hollywood Life that Brown wanted X to be perfect before the world hears it...

DOM KENNEDY – “After School” (Music Video) @LISAFORDBLOG’s IPOD Pick
DOM KENNEDY is 'so West Coast' and his laid back flow on this laid back beat proves it. 'After School' is classic Hip Hop and it's one of those songs that make you feel high without smoking a pound of weed. This has been my cruising song since I first listened to the album because it's so hardcore. "After School' is off of Dom's "Get Home Safely" album, which dropped a while ago, so these new visuals for is a special treat for us hip…

NICO & VINZ – “Am I Wrong” [Music Video] @LISAFORDBLOG’s IPOD Pick
The main thing I love about "Am I Wrong" by the Norwegian duo, NICO & VINZ, is that it was created for Dreamers. The message in this song, 'to believe in yourself', is so strong, it makes the hairs on my arms rise and sends chills down my spine. 'Am I Wrong' has inspired me all year long, when it broke out as a huge success last summer in Norway and the rest of Scandinavia...and when the duo went by the name, 'Envy'. 'Am I…

KIESZA – “Hideaway” @LISAFORDBlog ‘s IPOD Pick
I like this record because Kiesza, the Canadian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and dancer from Calgary, reminds me of two soprano favorites; Teena Marie and Sheena Easton. It's cool how Kiezsa lends her voice to that party rock-style music, although the video doesn't reflect how hard this song goes in the club. However, this dance beat and Kiesza's voice is an excellent combination. Her fetish for New York, 90's hip-hop, breaking, locking, and street jazz moves, is reflected in Hideaway's visuals.

Far East Movement – “The Illest” (Music Video) LISA FORD’s IPOD Pick
"The Illest" by the FAR EAST MOVEMENT reminds me of that Katy Perry & Juicy J "Dark Horse" song with the deep bass, hip hop-infused rock combination. This song only has 4 million Youtube views versus their other projects that reached 30, 40, 50 million views and beyond. I guess a lot of people aren't feeling it, crediting the bass line as the only thing good about it. FAR EAST MOVEMENT, the hip hop quartet reppin' in Los Angeles, grew insanely popular after their song…
