New Music Video: Monica - Anything To Find You f/ Rick Ross & Missy Elliot

When you get Monica and Missy together in the studio, the result is guaranteed to be an R&B banger.  "So Gone" and "Knock Knock" still get consistent rotation on my iTunes.  Watch below in the video for "Anything to Find You" as Rick Ross joins in.  Also watch a cameo from Lil Wayne's leggings!

[Video] The Foreign Exchange Performing Live In Charlotte

This weekend, I had the pleasure of seeing The Foreign Exchange live during their stop at Charlotte's Neighborhood Theatre.  It was MINDBLOWING.  Everything was incredible--the band, the background singers, and of course Phonte & Nicolay.  I only paid $20 for the ticket, but it was like I experienced what I would if I went dancing, went to a comedy show, and went to a concert simultaneously.

If you love good music and you just want to have a great time, I encourage you to check out The Foreign Exchange tour schedule and catch them at a city near you.

Watch below as they perform my favorite Foreign Exchange track, "Daykeeper." from their 2008 album Leave It All Behind.



Hit the jump to see them performing "House of Cards"!

Next Up: Childish Gambino (Donald Glover)

I was first introduced to Childish Gambino when one of my Twitter followers said that my blog's name reminded her of him.  What I didn't know, until then, was that Childish Gambino and actor Donald Glover, star of the hit NBC show, Community, were the same person.

Before you automatically associate him with Nick Cannon, Drake and other actors turned rappers, let his music influence you first.  His lyricism is top notch, and the man's got BARS.  Watch below as he performs a brand new track that will be on his upcoming album Camp.  




Late Pass: Download The Childish Gambino EP, his latest studio album which he dropped for free back in March.

Thank You YouTube For...Dormtainment

YouTube is full of comedy sketches that always leave me thinking, "Stay in school," or "Keep your day job."  Dormtainment, however, is a diamond in the rough, and always keeps me laughing.  The collective of these six college educated men recently posted "Basketball Husbands," their parody to the many reality shows devoted to women who seem to have nothing else to do but start fights and spend money.

Watch the hilarious sketch above, and be sure to check out Dormtainment's entire catalogue on www.dormtainment.com. Also follow the group on Twitter!

Beyoncé's "I Am Here" Honors 9/11 on ABC News

10 years ago, the 9/11 attacks shocked, angered, saddened, and eventually unified the United States of  America.  In remembrance of those who lost their lives and love ones during that unfortunate time in history, ABC News compiled a beautiful montage to Beyoncé's "I Am Here."

Where were you when you heard of the September 11th attacks?

Waka Flocka - Round of Applause Remix f/ Drake

Here's the 3rd Drake related post for the day. "Round of Applause (Remix)" is a Waka Flocka x Drake collab produced by Lex Luger.  Maybe I'm not a Waka connoisseur, but what is the original? Never mind. I don't want to know.
