Feb.21.2008 // Bobby Valentino - ‘Sexy Girl’

Here Disturbing Tha Peace’s Bobby Valentino can be heard on his possible new single ‘Sexy Girl’ for his forthcoming third studio album. I admit I was in favor of a couple songs off Bobby V.’s previous album, Special Occasion, even though I found some of the material a little bland for my tastes. ‘Sexy Girl’ is the same in this case, I don’t know what it is with him, his voice is oh so boring at times. But I will - definitely - be checking for him come this album, he doesn’t completely disappoint in my opinion. In other Bobby V. news: isn’t he going to be co-staring with Ciara in that new TBA Broadway movie Mama, I Wanna Sing?

Dec.12.2007 // New Beatz For The Freakz

JANET JACKSON » TIMBALAND » FERGIE » CHINGY

Janet Jackson » “Feedback” » LISTEN » (Full) » I’m sure you all remember me posting about Janet Jackson’s forthcoming single not too long ago (in April). Here is her brand new song “Feedback,” produced by Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins, it will be the first single lifted from Janet Jackson’s 10th studio album, appropriately entitled, Discipline (Island Def Jam). The singer’s new LP is due out February 26th of next year.

Timbaland ft. Keri Hilson + Nicole Scherzinger » “Scream” » LISTEN » (Full) » “Scream” is set to be the forth single lifted from Timbaland’s Shock Value (Interscope). The heavy string/tambourine sounding single features co-production by Danja and a guest appearance by Keri Hilson and light background vocals from Nicole Scherzinger. I really wasn’t all into this song that much at first but it’s getting there!

Fergie ft. Soulja Boy » “Clumsy (Collipark Remix)” » LISTEN » (Full) » Yelp, you read right. Collipark decided to make a remix to Fergie’s song “Clumsy” and decided to throw Soulja Boy in the mix! I like the original of “Clumsy” so much that any remix wouldn’t do me, not even Soulja Boy swayed me, sorry.

Chingy ft. Ludacris + Bobby Valentino » “Gimme Dat (Explicit)” » LISTEN » (Full) » “Gimme Dat” is slated to be Chingy’s second single from his forth studio album Hate It Or Love It (Def Jam/DTP). The single features stellar production by Full Scale and guest appearances by Ludacris and Bobby Valentino (vocals). The bass did it for me, this is my cut! Very nice single choice. Hmm, I wonder if Chingy reads blogs becos he has definitely stepped his game up this time around I’d say!
