THE REVIEW: Watch The Throne Concert in San Jose
Jay-Z and Kanye West, forming the collective known as The Throne, were well into their zone at the HP Pavilion in San Jose on Wednesday night (December 14). The duo stopped by the Bay Area while on their North American trek in support of their collaborative effort, ‘Watch The Throne,' and easily gave one of the best shows Hip Hop fans have ever seen.
The show kicked off with the two super...

THE REVIEW: Carl Thomas' New Album 'Conquer'
Carl Thomas, the soulful, platinum recording artists known for such hits as, "I Wish," "Summer Rain," and "Emotional," to name a few, is back and definitely looking to impress and "conquer" the game with this assertive album that does everything an R&B head could "wish" for. I've personally been looking forward to this album (as a true appreciator of genuine R&B). Let's get into it.

THE REVIEW: Mateo's 'Love and Stadiums II'
Mateo's ‘Love and Stadiums II’ is in all areas a great work of art. It has all the elements of a solid album. My only qualm is the similarities in sound, arrangement, and style as ‘Get To Know Me.’ I appreciate his work and personally wanted to see him express more of his broad array of talent. Perhaps this was done to give his fans more of what they enjoy, or to preserve his sound for those wh...
THE REVIEW: Syleena Johnson's Chapter V – Underrated
Syleena Johnson's new album, ‘Chapter V- Underrated,’ is an ambitious one. It not only looks to address issues women in relationships are faced with daily, but it also looks to set the record straight for those who are unfamiliar with Syleena and her abilities.
She starts off with a track that explains the latter half of the album’s title (Underrated). She pays respect to her fans and ...
THE REVIEW: Diddy-Dirty Money's 'Last Train to Paris'
All hail King Combs and his Royal songstresses. Last Train To Paris is a headphone masterpiece that delivers what it promises; musical integrity on par with creative ingenuity.
Personally, I didn’t listen to the album until recently. Primarily because I simply haven’t paid attention to most of what Bad Boy produced lately. But, if Diddy was ever down and out, he is most assuredly resu...

THE REVIEW: Bilal's 'Airtight’s Revenge'
It’s been nine years and fans have been fiending for a Bilal fix. As I witnessed the magic for myself, at the Singersroom “Bilal Comes To Brooklyn: An Acoustic Conversation,” I understood why he had such die-hard fans. Through careful study and practice, Bilal has transformed his voice into an instrument. His voice speaks with authority and whispers wisdom. His live perf...
The Review: Lyfe Jennings' 'I Still Believe'
The rhapsodic, soulful artist that shattered the charts with such hits as “Must Be Nice”, “S.E.X.”, and "Never Never Land," is poised to deal another deafening blow with his new LP entitled ‘I Still Believe.’ I’m talking about none other than Lyfe Jennings. A reformed musician who expresses himself by blending harmonious melodies with poetic thought evoking lyrics.
What exactly does I St...
The Review: Leela James' 'My Soul'
If
you have slept on Leela James it is time you wake up and go get her 3rd
album titled “My Soul.” The new disc brings Soul Music back into the 21st
Century, as James’ strong voice, the backing of her band and her unique
vibrations, captures the attentions of soul cronies.
In
“My Soul,” Leela continues to take a more creative stance like she did on her
2005 debut of ‘A Ch...

The Review: Letoya Luckett's Lady Love
Who said there’s no life after Destiny’s Child? LeToya Luckett is and has been vehemently striking down those fallacious forms of innuendos and speculations.
After a chart topping 2006 album with her debut solo album entitled Letoya the electric artist is giving us more of the Houston-bred girl we’ve grown to love in her new album Lady Love.
Luckett starts to shake things up early ...
Whitney Houston's I Look To You; Does It Make The Cut ?
Whitney Houston's forthcoming album "I Look To You" has been the talk of the net; the watercooler; and perhaps the dinner table. Now that the diva has offered up a preview of the album, the question is.... does this album make the cut ? Read on to get the lowdown on "I Look To You," track by track.
"No interlude or intro needed this time around," Whitney Houston must’ve thought on her highl...
The Review: Laura Izibor Issues Soulful Truth
Irish born R&B singer/songwriter Laura Izibor fuses pop with a
big helping of soul on her debut album "Let the Truth Be Told".

Izibor, joining Maxwell on tour this summer, could be seen as Ireland’s answer to Alicia keys with heavy piano based
songs.
For those who ...

She was the mystery voice behind Nas’ Hip Hop is Dead, Jay-Z’s Kingdom Come and The Game’s Let Us Live.
She grew up in New York City and was nominated for best new artist at the BET awards as well as two Grammy awards.
Do you know who I’m talking about? If you guessed Chrisette Michele then you are correct.
It was just over two years ago when we last heard this Jazz R&B...
