Rapper turned skater Lil Wayne is known for his exuberant tattoos, dress sense and uniqueness but now he drops an acoustic guitar into the mix. When Asad4Real first played me the audio to this track I couldn’t stand it which surprised me for a Weezy track, but with the video dropping today I admit I [...]

After posting two of the tracks of “The R.E.D album” last week, I completely forgot to post the slow jam “Hello” featuring one of my favourite artists, Lloyd. The whole album is full of West Coast rap so this track is a refreshing break. Not particularly meaningful or game-changing but it’s great for background music [...]

With the successful release of Wretch 32′s debut album “Black & White” in stores today, Wretch collaborated with friend and co-UK chart topper Emeli Sande who is currently holding down Number 2 with her incredible drum n’bass smasher “Heaven”.

It’s easy to see how Drake became so inspired by the sounds of The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfay). This track isn’t for a summer’s day, for the gym, for city nightclub’s or for pouding out of a stereo system. The broken-heartedness, neglect makes this tune nocturnal and have more undercurrents than the Indian Ocean [...]

Having made his claim to fame with “Watcha Say“, Derulo has exploded on both the R&B and club scenes! Making chart topping music seems to be his speciality and this track is no exception. I love the background whistling! The lyric video is very basic as you’d expect but experience has told me that he’ll [...]

The young musical prodigy, plays a range of instruments including the flute, piano, and guitar, as well as being a talented vocalist which makes a great contrast to Cole’s old school hip-hop verse.

Chris Brown showcases his “bad boy” image he’s created by displaying his hip-hop/rap side instead of his usual R&B materialon the newly released mixtape, Boy In Detention. As the title suggests, this rebellious nature Breezy is trying to convince us of is overpowered by the few R&B cuts on this mixtape. Personally I think singing [...]
