Here’s a BRAND NEW record, kind of speaking on the mindstate I’m going in with my new project, “Look What I Can Do”. I’m actually about 75% done with the project already and this was probably the first or second song recorded for it. Nothing has FOR SURE made the tracklist, so until then…just feast on this for now.

THE CONNECT: 'JukeBox' & 'Shock Value II'

Yoyoyo flybois and cybergirls, it's ya boi KB bringin' you THE CONNECT ...WHAT IS THAT?!? welp that is where we here at BVR hook you up with that free good ish...or maybe you wont like it. who knows. but we promised you free things and have been slacking... so here you go.

[click the image for THE CONNECT]

The first one here is my girl Priscilla Renea with her bright debut album 'JUKEBOX'. We featured her on the ARTIST SPOTLIGHT and hooked you up with her ep HELLO MY APPLE. She is uber unique. I am honestly so pleased to present this album to you. It's light and bubbly and feels like it is meant for children, but as you listen, homegirl here is talking about some serious shit. NO JOKE. She has already been compared to Luryn Hill because of the concepts and vocal quality. The feel on this project is very diverse, there should be something on here for everyone. I was alitle angry that none of the songs on the ep made the album, but thats fine. It's a dope album none the less. Anywhoo, scoop it up and let us know what you think.


[click the image for THE CONNECT]

On an other note, here here is TIMBALAND's new new SHOCK VALUE II! Finally it’s here haha. Took em long enough, seeing as tracks were leaking left and right! Timbaland Presents Shock Value II, with pretty much every commercial artist at the moment on it. Bran’ Nu is Brandy’s alter-ego by the way btdubs....i dont have much to say about this one. Tim said from the jump he wanted these Shock Values to be like 'NOW thats what i call music' from back in the day... you do that timbo.

Another Step Back for Black-Kind



So... I don't know about you but I don't think "Obama Fried Chicken" is empowering to African-Americans following the election of B-Rock into the executive office. While Clipse is by far my favorite pair of lyricists of all time (that's right, I said, now come debate with me), they have indeed outdone themselves with their single "Popular Demand (Popeye's)" off of their upcoming album "Till The Casket Drops." The highly-anticipated third studio album from the critically-acclaimed brother combo features a new breed of Re-Up music, but the concept for the video for this track just didn't sit right with me.

Possibly the second biggest video fuck-up after "Best I Ever Had," you got Pusha T and Malice chillin' outside of a sub shop (renamed "Obama Fried Chicken") eating chicken with a group of by-standers discussing reasons as to why the fans demand more from them. But um... who the hell decided putting Cam'ron on this joint would be a lucrative decision? The man looks broker than he really is, sporting an untrimmed goatee that only accentuates his gap-toothed antics... And his verse sucks. So yeah, enjoy this Hip-Hop failure and countless reason among many as to why Obama will continue to call rappers "jackasses" (Hey Kanye.).

Ask me if I care... ATM

Alicia Keys - "Empire State Of Mind (Part II) Broken Down"

Because the song did so damn well the first time, they thought "lets make it AGAIN..." so Alicia did... and i'm sure everyone is going to flip out over this song too.


well that's about it... if this was KB or Benji Buttons... the post would be followed by some plea for Ms. Keys to marry me, or an expressin of love for her, or a paragraph about how beautiful she is... but it's not. WOMP

{JUST FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES} here is the official video for her single TRY SLEEPING WITH A BROKEN HEART...



{EVEN MORE SHITTY GIGGLES} here is a look at a track that didn't make it on AK's next album. This track is called DREAMING.

VIDEO: Timbaland featuring Drake - Say Something

yeah... don't get too excited. It's just the teasers... but I'm happy to see it's not some cheap nonsense that I've been seeing lately with the music industry (like Trey Songz latest craptastic video for this ridiculous song) i'm glad they spent more than 4 bucks on this video and recorded it in places other than someone's cousin's garage...






enjoy?

Lupe Fiasco - Enemy Of The State (A Love Story)

Happy Thanksgiving all!

Because I know you guys check the blog every single day I wanna' keep ya'll up to speed on a brand new Lupe Mixtape. It was actually sent out yesterday (which was Lady Trace-Y's Birthday, I accept PayPal FYI.) And now you can spend your journeys traveling back to school after the holidays jammin' to Mr.Fiasco, compliments of BVR.



Lupe Fiasco - Enemy Of The State (A Love Story)

[Artwork credit goes to Shake of (2)DopeBoys. He [and BVR] kinda felt the original artwork was lacking... you'll see when you download the tape. Feel free to come back and cop the better artwork later ;)]

*BTDUBS* I don't know how many of ya'll are fans but... Lupe's dropping another mixtape called Friend of the People on Christmas. [funny because all of this is coming before LASERS which was supposed to be his last album (remember lupEND anyone?). Now he's shitting music everywhere. *shrugs*] So... go ahead and start anticipating it.

Don't Call It A Comeback: Janet Jackson

Michael Jackson is...dead. Right? Ok, just checking. There were moments when I was watching Janet Jackson's new video, "Make Me" and thought "Lawd Michael done pulled a thriller and is BACK!" No seriously, when she has that hat on? I swear they look like twins. Janet's new video was bittersweet in my opinion. The song's tempo reminds me of 70s Michael, you know, back when his scarecrow ass loved to party at Studio 54. But we are also introduced to "modern Janet", as in I think time has finally caught up to her. She pulls a Mary J and has more shots of her posing then of her actually dancing, which I found to be disappointing. Regardless of the lack of choreography or the ode to "Scream", the only song she's ever done with her brother, Janet's video definitely makes me want more.

Wait... 50 Dropped A New Album?



Now, maybe I just haven't made enough of an attempt to get updated on new music lately but how come NO ONE has been makin' a big deal about Mr. Controversey himself, 50 Cent, and his new album "Before I Self Destruct?" While I admit his career has fallen off a bit and the fact that his album has been pushed back similarly to a newly-signed artist (e.g. Wale, Saigon, Charles Hamilton, B.O.B.), 50 is still 50. Or is he? You be the judge. Check out the first single from the album above, entitled "Baby By Me." The chorus is a cut from his song, "I Get Money" off of his last album, "Curtis." And although that CD went Platinum, many people considered it a failure. But I'd honestly like to see Fif pull those numbers off again with the lack of promotion he's received for this project.

Ehh... ATM

Freeway's Trip to Mecca



For those of you who don't know, Freeway is a Sunni Muslim and has had an on-and-off relationship with Hip-Hop over the last couple of years due to the restrictions of his religion. As he is conflicted between some of the aspects of the game and the religion of Islam, he has somehow managed to continue his career and become a more faithful Muslim. Part of the religion requires you to take a pilgrimage (spiritual journey, step your vocab game up) to the holy land of Mecca... in Saudi Arabia. But Free didn't go alone. Apparently Jakk Frost and Loon (remember him?) wanted to get on their religious grind as well and accompany the former Roc-A-Fella MC. Peep Loon's beard.

Throwback Treasures: Glenn Lewis "Don't You Forget It"

Ok...I need a moment. [fans self with stolen MLK church fan]. Lawd knows THIS is a beautiful man. If growing up Maxwell was my Neo-Soul husband then Glenn Lewis was my boo on the side. Lewis is best known for his sultry song "Don't You Forget It" off of his 2002 debut album World Outside My Window. I honestly expected great things from this Toronto born (see Drake ain't the only attractive Blacadian) especially since it won a Juno for Best R&B/Soul Recording. Not to mention his song "Fall Again" ended up on the soundtrack to that whack Jennifer Lopez movie. You know, the one where she's chasing after the white guy who's "too good for her." Oh wait...that's the plot to practically EVERY movie she's been in since Selena, whoops my bad. ANYWAY, in 2007 he came back out with "Back For More" featuring Kardinal Offishall (another Blacadian). I wasn't really feeling the island feel. I know, he's half Tridianian and half Jamacian, but STILL it just didn't feel...authentic. And the Ginuwine-let-me-cut-off-my-cute-little-curls-because-I'm-going-in-a-different-direction-with-my-music approach didn't sit well with me either. The only part of the video that I did find entertaining was the random Mike Epps cameo and even then he had that "I don't know why I'm here either" look on his face. Regardless, I'm still patiently waiting for the return of the Glenn Lewis that was more concerned about me getting back to my home than taking me back to his.

Charles Hamilton is Back


Many people don't really know about having pride in a rapper that from your hometown. Being from Harlem, it's about Dipset and Juelz mainly. Charles Hamilton is a very different story. He is actually a dude I met back in highschool when he was still only making a couple of beats and tracks. I leave to college and the dude blows up. After a hit single "Brooklyn Girls" and some life in the limelight, some controversy and negative attention arose. Sonic the Hamilton did what hedgehogs do best, bury themselves underground. It's been almost a year now. Earlier this week it was announced that Charles Hamilton is indeed back. The sounds heard from this debut clip remind me of why people had so much respect for CH. I'm praying for the best for this dude especially since we have history. Welcome back Charles Hamilton.
