Hey Everybody! What a way to close out the year! Kanye’s new album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” has been on constant repeat in my headphones for the last 3 weeks so I built this mixtape around him. I threw in some new joints, had to look out for Harlem and the Dipset Reunion! That new song by Brandy sounds like a Ne-Yo song and speaking of Ne-Yo, I threw in a couple by him too! Considering that it was Pink Friday last week, I included some Nikki Minaj. Personally I think Lil Kim roasted her in Black Friday so that’s in the mix too!

I love love love hip hop with an alternative sound so there’s sone Lupe Fiasco, Bruno Mars and some Eminem with Rhianna (I LOVE THAT SONG)

Anyway, this is the last of the new music mixtapes! Enjoy and I hope 2011 is even better musically!

Hey everybody! This mix of new songs is real New York heavy. It could be from the fact that we moved again in Harlem. Really the heart of Harlem this time. I love New York. The feel of the artists..the pounding of the beats. I could see myself having a Lil Mama moment during Jay-Z’s performance too. Shout out to my boy Fave for putting together a quick cover for me and my lil Mama moment!

Most of the songs are relatively new. My daughters made requests for Chris Brown, Beyonce, and Pitbull. I included a new artist Jay Sean cause his song was really catchy to me. My new R&B favorites Ryan Leslie, Mario and Trey Songz.

I put in R. Kelly’s new joint “Religious” which took me to church. I got Boyz II Men’s new single “Back For Good” which is a remake of the hit by Take That. I especially enjoyed that ..thanks Shawn! Ursher’s “Papers” is the male version of “Not Gonna Cry’ . Shout out to my girl Eb_the_Celeb for the link!

There are a few minor glitches but I do my best in one take. I hope you enjoy it!

I’m back from vacation…

Every few months I step away from old school and jump into some new music. You remember June Jackin? April Rain? Well this is “Back To School”

I walk my kids 3 blocks to school every morning. Being in Harlem, a car will inevitably come past blasting a popular song. For instance: T-Pain’s “Can’t Believe It” came on and kids stoppped in the street…and broke out dancing! At 8am! I put some of these together with some new tracks I been jammin to. Enjoy!
