Alicia Keys Is Caught In A Teenage Love AffairMy baby boo, Alica Keys, keeps things rolling and has just released the video for her third single, "Teenage Love Affair." The video is a homage to Spike Lee's classic movie, School Daze, which is centered around college life at a HBCU and starts Tisha-Campbell Martin. A Keys keeps her creative juices flowing in this video and MF 3.0 has the world premiered right now.

Nas releases first single of album, Ni**erNow you know I already talked about Nas and his new album, Ni**er, but after hearin' his track I think my stance may have slightly changed. Nas, as he said previously, that the album title is driven artistically and not as a ploy to create attention in order to sale records. With this track, "Be A Ni**er Too," I understand, in a way, what he trying to do with this album. Listen to it here. And whether you like it or not, this is Hip-Hop, excuse me, Music, excuse me, the right to express oneself, in its rawest form.

Nas - Be A Ni**er Too

Busta Rhymes Throws Water On Em
Busta Ryhmes, one of the hardest working, most animated, and entertaining man in the music industry is trying to create some buzz for his next album with his single, "Don't Touch Me (Throw Da Water On Em)." Busta, as we all know, has been going through a tough time for the past two years, and I am glad that he is finally getting back to making music. Recent reports have stated that Busta Rhymes has cleaned house, cutting dies with Flipmode Squad, and his right-hand man, Spliff Starr, and Busta is in a whole new mindset right now. All I know is, this track is classic Busta and that is exactly what I like. Listen.

Bobby Valentino Leaves Disturbing The PeaceBobby V, DTP's first R&B signing has departed ways with Ludacris's Disturbing The Peace imprint and has gone the independent route. According to Billboard.com, plans to release a six-track EP followed by a full-length studio album, called his time at DTP a "great stepping stone and learning experience. I look at this as my going off to college. It was time for me to step out on my own and show the world who Bobby Valentino, the artist really is." Yeah, I think it's a wrap for this child. Oh well, at least he blessed us with this track right here.

Bobby Valentino - Slow Down

Aiight, that's it for now.
This is Dilly, holla at me.

R&N - 12/04/07 - EXCLUSIVES

Dilly here, given yall sum more freshness, 3.0 style.

Nelly hops on Chris Brown's "Kiss Kiss" remix
Like every big hit in history you gotta give it a remix, Chris Brown followed suit and brought Nelly to the studio with him. Hey, and it's pretty hot. Nelly came with it, and after hearin' it you realize that this beat fit Nelly's style perfectly. It's about time he came w/ sumtin' hot, still ain't gonna help him push any units on his next album though, what yall think?

Chris Brown ft. Nelly - Kiss Kiss (remix)

Trill Fam the new Cash Money?

Gotta show the south sum luv, seein' as thats where I'm from and we just that much better than the East coast....lol nah I'm playin' u know I luv the East too, but anyway my boys from Louisiana Trill Fam Entertainment gotta another one that's killin' the club. The track's called "Adios" features Boosie, Webbie, Foxx, and newcomer Big Head. Man Trill Fam really is doing there thang right now. If you count all Boose & Webbie's joints togeter on that Gangstaer Musik, then the joints Boosie & Webbie did separately, then add Trill Fam's "Wipe Me Down", "Watch My Shoes" and "Independent" then u'll notice they've been killin' the club scene for the past 2-3years. They basically the new No Limit/Cash Money. Too bad they ain't makin' nearly as much as money as them boys did, peep the track here:

Trill Fam - Adios

Mixtape Messiah 4

I know we just talked 'bout Koopa the other day but had to let yall know that he just announced that he'll be releasing Mixtape Messiah 4 via his website on December 18th. If any of yall know how Koopa been doin' lately his MM series has been doing better than his albums...lol yeah I said it. Neways it's good new for quality music.

GET IT BIIIIIGGGG

Dallas's own Trap Starz Clik finally got a video for their club banger "Get It Big" which is killin' radio & clubs in the south right now. This trio just got snapped up by Universal Music Group, hopefully not Universal Republic because then they will definitely won't be gettin' no mainstream luv, but either way they tryna make noise across the U.S. so peep the video n remember where you saw 'em first.

Alright I'm out, enjoy and VOTE! - ~Dilly

R&N - 11/14/07 - Extra Serving Edition

Wow... I've got lots to talk about, but not enough time to do it... Some things to speak about Good News, Bad News, and THEN SOME..

Good News - Music Blog Contest!

Yesterday, I got an email about being entered in a Music Blog Contest... It's hosted by Billboard.com (hold top album charts for music) and HeyNielsen.com (Like Neilsen TV ratings). The contest runs until Dec. 12th. So I need ALL my MUSIC FORECAST fans to come vote for me. Click on this link to vote.

Another link will also be on the right hand side of the page with the other Links.
Only thing y'all might be mad at is that you have to register... I knew this would turn people off... So I tried registering myself... Surprisingly, it took me less than 30 seconds. This is the ONLY info you need to add:



After typing in some fake info, picked a username & password, i gave them my real e-mail so they could activate my account, then I VOTED. You could only imagine who I voted for, lol. Then I was done. If you have 30 seconds to spare and you're REALLY feeling my page, I hope you guys vote for me. :-D

Bad News - Jadakiss - Dropped The Ball (FOREAL)
Now, I don't want to be ashamed about Jada (especially after Dilly served him up on that last post), but THAT HURTS. Especially being brought up in BKNY (Brooklyn). All I know is that Jada needs to hope these vids of him screwing up on stage go away faster than Beyonce's fall down the steps at that one concert this summer.

My View: After Jay-Z drops another classic, Nas drops another classic, and Jada sells double platinum, NEW YORK is back in bizness. :-p

THEN SOME - Prince - DISSES Fans?!


I just found out that Prince has a DISS SONG. Clearly, i thought I was reading wrong... But apparently, it's called "P FUnk". It's aimed at certain members of a fan site called Prince Fans United. I don't think I can name the user.... Weemolicious(clears throat) that Prince was dissing, though. Shout outs to Chris from GlobalGrind.com .

The new song these lyrics:

"The only reason you say my name
Is to get your fifteen seconds of fame
Nobody's even sure what you do
I don't care what people may say
I ain't gonna let it ruin my day."

Anywayz, I'll try find that song when I get a chance, but I just wanted to hit y'all with a lil' update. Next post should have those EXCLUSIVE tracks you guys love so much.
