It’s seems like forever since I made a mixtape for the mixtress. Heck it’s been even longer since I did a new music mixtape. I’ve knee deep in old school over on TV One working their Unsung series. I’ve done a lot of mixes for them and hopefully soon I can post them here for your listening enjoyment.

But back to this mixtape..

I have been jamming to some of these songs since May so I hope you indulge me in some of my song choices. I have the pleasure of including some new tracks by Syleena Johnson and Kindred The Family. I’m the Mixtress of R&B so of course I have Jill Scott, Beyonce, Chris Brown, Monica and  Tyrese. Although the mix is R&B flavored, I have some hip hop included like that new song Otis by Jay Z and Kanye, some Frank Ocean, Big Sean and J.Cole. I’m sure this mixtape will make you dance so I put in some dance tracks by Pitbull and a new jam “Titanium” from David Guetta featuring Mary that is HOT even with the tags. For my Reggae massive I have some Rhianna, Movado, Elephant Man and a great tune from Melanie Fiona. I got some slow jams too: this mix reminds me of those old school Hot 97 bootleg cds lol

I hope you enjoy this mix and I’ll try to be back with you soon!!

This week on Twitter, Fabulous said that the Drake album “Thank Me Later” was the Hottest R&B album out right now. I tend to agree with him. Full of moody beats and striking lyrics sung in a truly melodic fashion, this R&B DJ immediately fell in love when he began to sing Find Your Love. What was more exciting was when I found out the subject of his song “Fireworks” was no other than Rhianna!

This Sunday in the New York Times, Drake is going to talk about his fling last year with Rhianna:

“I was a pawn,” Drake told the newspaper about his time with Rihanna, which began with an invite to pen a track for the singer. “You know what she was doing to me? She was doing exactly what I’ve done to so many women throughout my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear. I was like, ‘Wow, this feels terrible.’ “

Drake channeled the experience into song, penning a verse on “Fireworks” dedicated to Rihanna, though he never mentions her by name. “I could tell it wasn’t love/ I just thought you’d f—ed with me/ Who could have predicted/ Lucky Strike would have you stuck with me,” Drake raps on the song, referring to the Manhattan bowling alley where the two reportedly made out. “Damn, I kept my wits about me, luckily/ What happened between us that night, it always seems to trouble me/ Now all of a sudden, these gossip rags want to cover me/ And you making it seem like it happened that way because of me.”

Now I knew he was lying last year when the New York Post ran that column claiming it caught the lovebirds at the bowling alley. Drake was running all over town saying:

“It’s not like that at all,” Drake told show hosts Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg. “I’m being honest. [She's] just a friend, that’s all. A great artist. I have the most respect for her. I think she’s so talented.”

Man if you tapped that you tapped it. Now you salty…I’m confused…but what’s done in the dark, always comes to light. Even if it’s a year later.

Hey Everybody! This is June Jacking Part 5! It should be called the Drake Edition because of course I love his new album!

I call it June Jacking because when I started hustling mixed cds 7 years ago…it was really jacking the net for music then.  I would spend hours searching for songs and uploading songs from my cds…just a long drawn out process!

Things are easier now with places like Limewire and Dopehood.com (love yall!)  When I need new music now I tend to head over to Eb-the Celeb‘s site or YouHeardThatNew (although I don’t mess with rap that much). My new music mixes are generally more on the hiphop side and probably not safe for children under 11. Play at your own risk!

I hope you enjoy it!

Hey Everybody! It’s time for a new music mixtape again. I’m still playing the one I did in December (I said that last year too lol). March Madness Part 2. It should be called “Radio Friendly” because a lot of these songs are being played on the radio right now. There is a new track by Mary J. Blige and Swizz Beatz called “Fancy” that I am just in love with. I was unable to get a clean copy but I didn’t care! Thanks Tapemasters Inc anyway!

My favorite mix moment was between #8. I Come First – Ne-Yo and #9. Freak – Estelle Ft. Kardinal Offishall. I just grin every time I hear that part of the mix. I’m also diggin that song “Miss Chocolate” by Lil Jon, R. Kelly and Mario and the new J. Holiday song “Pretty Body”. I’m still loving the Untitled Album by R. Relly and it’s always nice to hear a new tune by John Legend (Thanks EbTheCeleb!) A few minor glitches but I love the mix and I hope you will too!

Originally recorded 5/18/09

This is part 2 of the Monday Mixtape for this week. Here is part one..

So I like I said before…I have been swamped by outings with friends, the twins graduation, Prom and induction into the Honor Society, changes in leadership at the job…It’s been quite a summer so far.

I’m behind but I like to keep my promises.

This mix was requested by my best friend Tutu. Yeah she’s my best friend. Divaliscious is my sister and Tutu is my best friend. She requested this mix for her b’day back in April and although I was still going to class at Scratch, I put this together for her. I used some of songs I was listening to in April and may…with some of the songs i used for my final at the Scratch Academy…with some of the songs I heard during Tutu’s birthday weekend…

Funny thing is…I threw a graduation party for the twins and this mix was such a hit…so uhm…you might want to listen to what your kids are listening to..

I took too long posting it…but those who have had it…have loved it…so why hold on to it?

Most are songs you already love but I hope you still enjoy the mix!
