DON'T know about you but I'm so damn exctited about the release of the Notorious movie coming next year. Notorious is scheduled to hit the big screen January 16, with Jamal Woodard playing a very convincing role of Notorious BIG and Derek Luke as Diddy. Personally, I would have gone with somebody else for the role of Diddy, but that's just me.
Not sure if you've heard of 'em, they don't get much airplay around these parks, but the group Sa-Ra has been around for quite sometime. Signed to Kanye's label G.O.O.D. Music, their sound is a little different, I would say a mixture of futuristic, techno-funk. Me likey....
Ciara's third album "Fantasy Ride" was slated for a release later this year, but the album has now been pushed back to be released early 2009. Rumor has it that the label was unhappy with the tracks and are sending the Queen of Crunk back in the studio for a do-over.
The album was to be release via 3 separate cd's, each with a different theme. "Groove City" contains all of the smooth, sensual tracks, similar to "Promise. While the second and third discs, "Crunktown" and "Kingdom of Dance", featured more uptempo songs, which Ciara is a bit more known for producing. get the official story at billboard.com
But for all you Ciara fans, here's a leak from the scrapped album. Heard it last night, and I admit, I was intrigued.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, keeping in mind what the day is really set aside for. In the rough times we are experiencing right now, its important focus on the things we need and not what we want. Be thankful for what you have people, and don't forget...'tis better to give than to receive!!!!!
Here's a new leak from Chris Brown "Froze". I like...really laid back. The song is said to be produced by Hit-Boy and Chase N. Cashe for his next album Grafitti. Check it out and let me know what you think.
