MEEK MILL – “Amen” ft. Drake & Jeremih (NEW VIDEO!!)
'Amen' is off of Meek Mill's debut album "Dreams and Nightmares" dropping August 28th! The song is Meek's way of showing gratitude for all the things that come with being famous rapper. Meek is cool, but I'm not too excited about the song. I like the gospel-like instrumentals but the lyrics are a little too graphic for the soft sounding beat. And I'm very protective over the word 'Chuuuch'... meaning that I don't feel it should be used by most people (all the real Players…

USHER – “I.F.U (I’m Freakin’ U)” – NEW MUSIC! {Lisa Ford’s Top Pick}
Usher has been on my mind lately. We're sending our best wishes to him and his family while they deal with his stepson's tragic accident. Usher has always been transparent about his life through his music, whether he made party songs about the happy times, or sung deep rhythm and blues ballads about the sad times. This is one artist that everyone just loves not only because of the range of his vocal talents, but because of his ability to relate to people. Just wanted…

ELLE VARNER – “REFILL” (Video) & “Conversational Lush” (Mixtape) Listen, Watch & DOWNLOAD
They just started playing the hell out of Elle Varner's "Refill" song on the radio and it seems that the whole world has gravitated towards her. I haven't heard of Elle before this song hit the airwaves and I still have mixed feelings about "Refill". I must say, however, that I like her voice and the flavor of her music. She's bringing more 'soul' to the scene, definitely not that 'autotune pop' crap that I'm tired of hearing. So I did alittle research, and found…

LUPE FIASCO – “Around My Way [Freedom Ain’t Free]” (Official VIDEO)
LUPE FIASCO's "Around My Way" takes a sample from, and is basically a remake of Pete Rock's & C.L. Smooth's iconic hit, "They Reminisce Over You". Leave it to Lupe to take a classic Hip Hop beat and restore it with something with just as much class and genuineness as the original. Lupe keeps his lyrics political as usual, making references towards removing Columbus Day off the calendar and how it shouldn't be celebrated. Lupe Fiasco has always been an artistic rapper using music to…
