Who's Really the Ish, Kanye vs. Lil Jon?
A few months ago the DJ Class Baltimore club track made it's way onto the web. It created some buzz because it marked the first time Lil Jon actually went into the studio to rap i.e. make noise over a B-more dance track. Now Kanye has lent his autotune voice to the song. Kanye's voice sans the autotune would have made a better song, it's just overused. I wonder if T-Pain will still have a career, after all these artists have abused what is his signature style but that all together is a new topic. As for the C.S. view on the two songs, Kanye's version is more laid-back and Lil Jon's is more energy filled. We're going to have to go with Lil Jon's crazy attitude, it's just aggressive and fun and that's what Baltimore club music is all about.
Those Dancing Days
Those Dancing Days, an all-female indie pop band from Sweden, has been creating great music since 2005. In 2007 they released the Those Dancings Days EP to much praise and respect. The following year their debut album In Our Space Hero Suits was released in the UK with a fair reception. Now, in 2009, they haven't made much of a splash but by luck I came across their song "Those Dancing Days". The song was similar to a cold shower, just that refreshing. The frantic drum beating, rhythmic vocals and overall summer vibe keeps this song on repeat. Hopefully they get the attention they deserve and you can check them out on Myspace.

"My Name Wale and I Came to Kill It"
Wale, another one of those promising '09 hip-hop artists, has finally released his hype track in anticipation of his upcoming album Attention Deficit. Cool and Dre produced the party startin' beat to back Wale's boastful style. Oh and we cannot forget Lady GaGa, she's the perfect addition additon to the song, she is really working hard to be up there, get um GaGa. Check out the CDQ below

Sky Might Fall♫
Kanye premiered a clip on his blog featuring CuDi’s new song “Sky Might Fall” in the new Transformers trailer. Shortly after, a video showed up of CuDi performing it live. Now we have the full studio version. Emotion and melody is what CuDi is all about and this song is as great as the rest.
VV Brown
Here's another retro-pop singer. Her style and music is influenced by the 50's with a small dose of electronica. She has also attained some songwriting credits for Pussycat Dolls and Sugababes. Check out her single "Crying Blood".

Kat y Wayne
Kat DeLuna gets together with Lil Wayne for a second time to produce the song "Put It On Ya". It's just a good song to listen to but that's the thing with Kat DeLuna she's just mediocre, nothing too exciting.

♫PUT IT ON YA
Missy is making a return in 2009 (besides her work for Step Up 2 The Streets). This makes a four year hiatus since she released The Cookbook and this track right here is setting things off to a BLAZINNNG start. "Put It On Ya" finds Missy Elliott rhyming, singing and speaking Pig Latin over a Pharrell Baltimore inspired instrumental. I wanted to wait until the full song leaks but I cannot refrain, this song is going to be scorching up the dancefloors.

'09: Year of the CuDi
When was the last time time you were excited about a new hip-hop artist? Well KiD CuDi is one of a very few that I'm looking forward to in '09. KiD CuDi is the mess. Here is his '09 freestyle, pure craziness.
"I'll Hold yOU Tight Even If It Takes All Night..."
OHHHHHHH John Legend had to go and release a new track. This song spoils my ears and John Legend is a soulful genius. The only thing I'm doing right now is clicking my fingers and tapping my foot. Someone hand me a lady so I can slow dance.

Day26
Day26 has a new song and its title is "Put It On Her". The song sounds very similar to every other r&b song we've heard and that causes me to think their new album will be disc 2 to their debut instead of something fresh. With that said, the song does sound good, very catchy but will get tired quick.

It's All a Dream
Love vs. Money is almost here, in fact it will hit stores on March 10. Two more songs have surfaced, the first is "Sweat It Out", something very lack-luster and the second, "Walking on the Moon" featuring KanYeezy. Here's L.A. Reid's opinion of "Walking on the Moon":
“It’s crazy! L.A. Reid says that he thinks that it’s bigger than ‘Umbrella!...”
SAY WHAT! Get outta here Mr. Reid. This song is good but it is miles away from "Umbrella". It will be awhile before another ditty song comes along with the impact of a generational anthem like "Umbrella" did. That's a song that still sounds fresh today, almost two years since its release. Check out the songs.
The-Dream:
One Day
I start the analyzing process of a song from the second it starts and when this one started with the solo piano I thought it would be a very dry and boring track. Then the instrumental kicks in and Keyshia starts her singing. The song is smooth and should have been included on A Different Me which is in stores now.

It's All the Fans Ever Wanted
Someone had a big slip up yesterday. The Norway branch of the iTunes store accidentally put the full Kelly Clarkson album up for full download which isn't supposed to be released until March 10. I bet Apple will have to fork over most of its earnings to keep the peace with her record label. As for the album it delivers 100%, she returns with her signature pop/rock sound with the assistance of top notch producers; Ryan Tedder, Kara DioGuardi, and Max Martin. This most likely was the decision she chose after her last album My December did not fair well outside of her fanbase. This whole album can be left on repeat. Due to the way her album leaked and for the safety of this blog I will only post two songs to whet your appetite. The first is a heavy pop/rock track, "Don't Let Me Stop You", and the second is an ear-catching mid-tempo track, "Save You". Remember to go out and buy All I Ever Wanted when it hits stores on March 10th.

Greatness in the form of a Guy Named K'naan
Here is a little bit of background info on K'naan:
Knaan is a poet and hip-hop artist from Somalia. Born in Mogadishu, at age 13 he left for New York City with his mother and brother and finally settled in Rexdale, Ontario, Canada.
In 2001 K’naan performed in Geneva at the 50th anniversary of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
Man where do i start with this one? I first heard K'naan's music at the end of Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay. I was hooked on to "In the Beginning" instantly. For a long time I listened to him not knowing him as the artist he is until my friend Jasmine (shout out to Jazzy) brought him to my attention last year. Now he's all over MTV n such, getting ready to release his latest effort Troubador. His music is spectacular, so real, so easy to listen to... just pure excellence. I have four songs for you all to listen to, three of them from his latest album Troubador. Remember the album drops next TUESDAY THE 24TH OF FEBRUARY. BUY IT!

Congratulations
We've mentioned Drake here numerous times on the blog. His highly-anticipated mixtape "So Far Gone" was finally released to great acception. Now a bonus track from the mixtape titled "Congratulations" has leaked. It samples "Viva La Vida" and it's def. one to download.
Drake - Congratulations

Ms. Keri
Eventhough Polow Da Don is constantly blamed for ripping off other people's beats he still knows how to make it his own and run with it. No denying this one, it surely is a radio-friendly BANGER.
Keri Hilson - Turn Up the Radio (prod. by Polow Da Don)
Keri's voice is a nice feature on the already hot track by R Les. I'm looking forward to Keri's debut and Ryan Leslie is already in the study working on his sophomore album.

Vistoso Bosses
I may be ending my teen years soon enough but I cannot deny this track by Atlanta's Vistoso Bosses. Taylah and Kelci make up the singing/rapping duo, both of whom are 16 and together since 2006 . They are signed to Collipark Records, home of Soulja Boy. This song is a smooth R&B track with synthesizer sounds, electronic flute sounds, and airy vocals reminiscent of the 90's. I always say a girl doesn't have to have a voice like Mariah, Whitney, Jennifer or Beyonce to be considered musically talented. These girls have talent and they look to have a bright future ahead of them.
