Have a blessed and safe New Year and see you on the other side of 10

1. Empire State Of Mind – Jay-Z Ft. Alicia Keys (Come on…Hands down the best song of the year)
2. Best I Ever Had – Drake (Milk and Cookies at his finest…Smooth groove song)
3. Rockin’ That Thang – The Dream (To continue the groove..slide in this hit by Dream)
4. Throw It In The Bag – Fabolous Ft. The Dream (another usual suspect hit)
5. Blame It (Remix) – Jamie Foxx Ft. Yung Joc & T-Pain (One of my fav tracks this year..everytime I heard it I had to dance)
6. I Get It In – 50 Cent (I got in it in 2009…that is all)
7. Baby By Me (Remix) – 50 Cent Ft. Ne-Yo (Finally a hot track with NeYo..isn’t 50 a rapper? Sounds R&B to me)
8. Love Come Down (Remix) – Dirty Money Ft. Red Cafe (Of course Diddy had to have a club banger this year)
9. Dancing On Me – DJ Webstar Ft. Jim Jones (HARLEM…HARLEM….HARLEM..yeah)
10. My Sweetie – Wale ( a lil African flavor fo ya…this is probably my most listened song by Wale this year.  I even stopped calling him “Whale”)
11. Million Dollar Bill – Whitney Houston (Go on Whitney! It was too bad that she couldn’t reproduce this live but I still loved the track)
12. Be My #2 – R. Kelly (I was waiting for this dang R.Kelly album all year. He made so happy with this track. It may not get rotation if his managers are retarded…but this is a new Step song which could bring back Disco and the Hustle)
13. The One f. Drake – Mary J. Blige (This was my attitude song this year….made so even more after I found out Mary smacked her husband in the club over some BS..I hope she did it to the beat…I hear that girl…I ain’t #2 or 3..I’m the ONE!)
14. I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho) – Pitbull (Reggaeton…I’m Dominican…that is all..)
15. I’m The Ish (Remix) – DJ Class ft. Kanye West (My husband’s favorite out of all my playlists this year…I loved bouncing with him in the livingroom…we got down!)
16. Girlfriend – Chris Brown Ft. Lupe Fiasco (His new fav…LaLaLa…hopefully Chris will be able to continue his career)
17. Sweet Dreams – Beyonce (My twins most requested song..I was mad at the video at first…but this song grew on me in a big way)
18. Poker Face – Lady GaGa (Gaga was the breakout artist of 2009…LOVE.HER!)
19. Put It In A Love Song – Alicia Keys Ft. Beyonce (This song will be creeping up on everybody in the next few weeks…Look for a live perfomance real soon…dang or at least a video…please!!)
20. Just Like Me – Jamie Foxx ft T.I. (Cause I am)
21. Gimme 20 Dollars- DJ Webstar Ft. Ron Browz (HARLEM…HARLEM….HARLEM..yeah)
22. I Can Transform Ya – Chris Brown Ft. Lil Wayne & Swizz Beatz (Swizz-y was busy this year…but I knew it was coming..didn’t sexpect him to finally cop to A Keys though…crazy beat)
23. Boyfriend Number 2 – Pleasure P (I await the final call on those charges but I loved this song this year..)

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!

My girl Golden aka Miss Jo_Ladie made a request last week for some workout music! Now me and her go way back…back to where we didn’t speak but moved around in the same blog circles (back when I was a personal blogger lol) Since arriving on Twitter and especially since my return back to NY…it seems we have gotten closer and that’s a good thing because I would never have know what a talented and sweet person she is. I went all over the place with this mix…playing some of my recent favorites like DJ Webstar and Lady Gaga…I also took it back to the oldschool..because…well because that what I do baby!

I hope you enjoy it Golden…and you have also inspired me to use it to lose some pounds myself! Let me know if it works for you too!!!!

You.Betta.Work!
