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!

This pays for cutting it up, payloadz and to help me buy new equipment…any help is greatly appreciated)

Look at that…Two mixes in a row. Gotta get it out while it’s in me. I’m starting something new by letting my peeps know when I used their drops (you see how many spots are available right? hit my email). Love yall!!!

August has been hot in NYC. Likewise the R&B being released is just as hot! We have two powerhouses starting off the mix..Hubby said I HAD to make Whitney #1 and the more I listened to her, the more I knew he was on point as usual. That daggon Mary song is so catchy and so Diva!

I still like Chris Brown.

That Wale track is booty shaking worthy and I’m watching Keri come up hard. Harlem as always with Webstar…Ryan and NeYo duke it out…I think Ryan is better though   My party girl Eb the Celeb MADE me like the Young Chris joint and I’m glad I listened! Had to throw in that Mario track…it’s got such an original melody. 2 Songs by Fabolous because he came hard this summer.

For the slowdown grooves we have a new inspiration song from Usher that surprised the heck out of me when I heard his falsetto. We have some songs from Al B Sure, Chico, Babyface and Maxwell that needed to be played on one of my mixes this summer.

It was hard to chose between R. Kelly’s and Whitney’s version of Salute but I’m glad that I chose Whitney. This will be her comeback album (regardless of what she says) and I’m thrilled that R. Kelly wrote this hit for her. He is the King of R&B.

I still like Chris Brown.

I hope you enjoy it…and maybe you’ll donate?

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!
