"Rihanna ft. Ne-Yo - Hate That I Love You" (Video) 2007-09-25 13:29:00 "Hate That I Love You" Is Set To Be The Next Single From "Rihanna".The track was written by & features "Ne-Yo" & is a 'cheesy pop' song that is another sure fire hit for "Def Jam's" leading R&B stars. It is so additively catchy that you cannot help but sing, or hum along, but it still reminds me of a song from "Grease", it's just a little too much for me.The video is pretty standard, Ne-Yo looking smooth, & Riri looking sexy.

Will.i.am - Baby Love" (Video) 2007-09-25 13:12:00 "Baby Love (download)" Is Now The Official 1st Single From "Nicole Scherzinger's" Debut Solo Album.After the huge flop of "Whatever U Like", Nicole has pushed up her next song, she has already shot the video & released it to both US & UK radio, she has noted that this track is her favourite song from "Her Name Is Nicole".Although I'm not a huge fan of the track, it will be a massive success on radio & in the charts. I much preferred the club banging beats of Whatever U Like, but everyone is after the 'pop market' at the moment, so what you gunna do!Check Out The Video Below & Let Me Know What You Think?Loving Baby Love,Let Me Know? ...

"J. Holiday ft. Nina Sky - Bed" (Remix) 2007-09-24 14:26:00 Here Is A Hot Remix Of One Of The Hottest Tracks Of the Year, "J. Holiday's"; "Bed".There are so many official remixes of this track, but this is by far the best in my opinion, it features "Nina Sky". This track has already had huge success in the US, & now it is heading to the UK & promises to do the same.If you have been under a rock & haven't heard this track yet, take a listen below & let me know what you think?LISTEN: "J Holiday ft Nina Sky - Bed" (Remix)Liking The Remix,Let Me Know? ...

"50 Cent ft. Diddy & Jay Z - I Get Money" (Remix) 2007-09-24 13:46:00 Here Is A Top Notch Remix Of "50's" "I Get Money", A Track I Previously Disliked Has Been Brought To Life By Two Kings Of The Game. Both "Diddy" & "Jay Z" have jumped on this remix, which has been dubbed the "Forbes" remix, due to all 3 artists being numbers 1 - 3 on the Forbes Hip-Hop Rich List. I am really liking this mix & am glad it has been getting airplay, much better than the original. LISTEN: "50 Cent ft.

"Soulja Boy - Soulja Boy Tellem" (Album Leak) 2007-09-24 12:38:00 Just Short Of It's October 2nd Release Date, Here Is The Leak From 17 Year Old "Soulja Boy"."Crank That" has still not hit UK shores, even though it has stormed the US, I don't know of any confirmed release date, but I think it would be crazy not to bring a sure fire hit to a bigger audience.

"T.I ft. Busta Rhymes & Alfa Mega - Hurt" 2007-09-23 12:11:00 Here Is The Next Single From Rapper "T.I"; "Hurt" Is Produced By The 'Unstoppable' "Danja" & Features Both "Busta Rhymes" & "Alfa Mega".I'm not feeling "T.I vs T.I.P" as much as his earlier work, still this track is real solid, it's fast paced beat & flow are worked in well with T.I's sound. I'm sure this will do well with Urban Radio & clubs, while maybe not so well in the charts.Loving the production on this one, "Timbaland" has done really well with Danja, maybe a little too well, I don't think it will be too long before he waves goodbye to "Mosley Music".

"Jay Z ft. Pharrell Williams - Blue Magic" 2007-09-21 09:59:00 The Self Proclaimed 'Greatest Rapper Alive', "Jay Z" Recently Announced That He Is Working On A New Album, Due For Release In November. Entitled "American Gangster", the record will be released to coincide with the release of a new movie of the same name. Although the album won't be a soundtrack CD, Jay said that he felt compelled to make the album after seeing the film, because he thought that some elements mirrored his own life.This is the first song to leak from the album, called "Blue Magic", the track is produced by & features long-term collaborator "Pharrell Williams". The song is OK, but nothing to special, sounds like an album track to me, although not confirmed yet, it does appear that this will in fact be the first single. Definitely one to watch for the future, keep it locked to Urban Review for any updates. LISTEN: "Jay Z ft.

"Ja Rule ft. Ashley Joi - Body" (Video) 2007-09-21 09:46:00 After Featuring "Ja Rule's" New Single Earlier In The Week, The Video To Accompany The Track Has Now Also Surfaced.As mentioned in the song feature, I am liking this track, "Body" has a cool, sexy feel to it, & the video continues this vibe. While it looks pretty cheap, the vid does well to run along side the sound & feel of the song.NOTE: 'Ja' is looking very buffed up, whether naturally or with some help is up to you to decide for yourselves?Check Out The Video Below & Let Me Know What You Think In The Comments?Ja Rule feat Ashley Joi - Body (New)Presented By Urban ReviewLiking The Song,Or The Video,Let Me Know? ...

"Ne-Yo - Can We Chill" (Video) 2007-09-21 09:30:00 "Ne-Yo's" Brand New Video For His Next Single "Can We Chill" Premiered Recently. I am really liking this track & definitely approve of it as a single choice, it has a real good flow to it that I like. The video itself is pretty standard, Ne-Yo meets girl, they dance at a party, you know the rest. Although I do like the song, his album leaves quite a lot to be desired, rather than being a 'poppy - R&B', single filled CD, like I was expecting, it seems to be full of filler tracks with the odd few standing out as real R&B. If you have the album, I would love to know what you think of it?Check Out The Video Below & Let Me Know What You Think?

"Aretha Franklin ft. Fantasia - Put You Up On Game" 2007-09-21 09:00:00 The Legendary "Aretha Franklin" Has Teamed Up With Current Star "Fantasia" To Produce This Smooth R&B Number For Aretha's New Album; "Jewels In The Crown: All-Star Duets With The Queen"With production that reminded me of an early "Aaliyah" track, this song unfortunately doesn't quite bring Aretha into the 21st century, it has a real 90's feel about it. While that is not necessarily a bad thing musically, it will not get her the same exposure as say Fantasia's current single "When I See U".All the same, this is a solid track that is an enjoyable listen, maybe it will go further than that, but I think not.

"MOBOs 2007" 2007-09-20 13:43:00 Last Night Saw The Annual "MOBO Awards", Held At The 02 Arena In London. The night went down well, far more professional than this years shambles that was the "VMAs", with top performance from the likes of; "Ne-Yo", "Kano", "Amy Winehouse" & "T-Pain" to name a few.The show was presented by the gorgeous "Jamelia", & the embarrassing "Shaggy", who messed up constantly, but was still entertaining. The show was pretty hot, Miss Winehouse proved herself as the UK's favourite drunk, while she nearly fell up the stairs to accept her award, Jamelia was very good as a presenter & the performances where solid. Here is the full list of the night winners: UK Female - Amy Winehouse UK Male - Dizzee RascalInternational Act - Rihanna Song - Ne-Yo: "Because of You" UK Newcomer - Ndubz Video - Kanye West: "Stronger" Hip-Hop - Kanye West R&B - Ne-Yo Reggae - Sean Kingston Gospel - G-ForceDJ - Tim WestwoodJazz - Soweto Kinch African - 2 FaceBeMOBO - From Boyhood to Manhood There are ...

"R Kelly ft. Ludacris & Kid Rock - Rockstar" (Video) 2007-09-20 13:15:00 Here Is The New Video From Former King Of R&B; "R Kelly".As I don't like, or follow Kells, I had no knowledge of this track, I thought it would be inventive & new, as it features "Kid Rock", but it just seems a little 'meh', if you know what I mean, don't hate it, don't love it.The only thing that amazed me about this track, was the cheapness of the video, I know Kelly has had many court battles to pay for, but damn, cheap cheap.Check Out The Video Below & Let Me Know What You Think?R.
