Diggy Simmons Is Coming For Your Head Soulja Boy…”Made You Look” (Freestyle?)

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Mar 12, 10
The only musically salvageable Simmons left, Diggy Simmons, has been working diligently on his MUSIC. Yep, and fashion, and just being an all around generally fly teenager. I’d seen his mixtape drop a while back and tried to listen to it, but wasn’t really moved. However, yesterday Young Simmons dropped this < 3 min. gem of a freestyle over Nas’ “Make You Look” single, and wow, the Internet was collectively impressed.

He has a pretty nimble flow and a nice way with his words — I’d rather listen to him then the spastic Nicki Minaj if he continues to come up with exciting and interesting material like this. I know Rev. Run is proud of his youngest son! He got the Internet going nuts. I slightly question the “Freestyle” moniker because how “free” can it be if it’s being taped and recorded and edited together? That’s all.

What ya’ll think?

Classic Flashback: Quincy Jones – “Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)” Feat. Tevin Campbell

Written by The IPS in Blogs, Videos on Mar 12, 10
This song, “Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)” is taken from the quintessential American producer and everything else Quincy Jones’ 1989 album Back on the Block, which featured a cast of luminaries too long to list. And when I say luminaries I mean luminaries!!

Well, a very young Tevin Campbell was tapped to sing this song that Quincy produced and arranged w/ lyrics by Siedah Garrett, and sing did he ever! Tevin’s voice was CRAZY for him to be song young, seriously. It makes me sad that voices like his are no longer heard and we are left with bleating goats and flat-voiced piano playing females. *sigh*

What’s making even more sad is that Quincy is putting out another album. Only this time, there are no luminaries, really *Sad Chris Brown play my records please face*. It’s called Q: Soul Bossa Nostra and will feature such stars as Akon, 3 6 Mafia, T-Pain and even Wyclef with that Haitian yodel. Have mercy. This will either be really good or REALLY unpalatable.

Hit the jump for the press release that marks the end of the world as we know it LOL.

“Hear My Call” Begs Jill Scott + Maxwell/Jill Scott Tour Dates

Written by The IPS in Blogs, New Music & Reviews on Mar 12, 10
Jill Scott performed a new song from her The Light of the Sun: Words and Sounds, Vol. 4 on the NAACP Image Awards a few weeks ago (which I skipped blogging but saved on my Tivo until last night) and oh boy, SING JILLY FROM PHILLY!

This isn’t an official single or anything, but it also served as a charity single for Haiti and it can be downloaded from the NAACP website. After listening to this raw, emotional performance, I really realized that I’ve missed singers like Jill lately. Just…pure soul music and vocals. Her album is allegedly dropping this Spring or Summer, so stay tuned for more info.

So, with that said, I’m hoping to see her on her EPIC TOUR with MAXWELL. YES, what an EXCELLENT ticket. Hit the jump for the dates! There will be lots of post-concert coitus after these dates, do you hear me?! I want to take my “Pretty Wings” on a “Long Walk” cause I’m living my life like it’s “Golden”! LOL.

Can We Expect More Belting That Can’t Be Replicated Live From Kelly Rowland’s New Album?

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Mar 11, 10
This is all well and good, but I just can’t help but think about EVERY TIME that she’s sung “When Love Takes Over” live, she’s cracked on them high notes. It’s high, and I know she can do it (at least in the studio), but I always feel like I’m expecting to be let down!

I love Kelly Rowland though, and I wish her the best with this new album. I always root for the underdog, and if this album goes Dereon Sequins plaque status, she might have to stick to singing backup for David Guetta’s turntables when someone bumps the table. This is your last chance Kelly!

Ms. Kelly actually wasn’t THAT bad, better sequencing, drop a track or two and replace with some bonafide hits and she could have done something.

Classic Flashback: Switch – “There’ll Never Be/I Wanna Be Closer”

Written by The IPS in Blogs, Videos on Mar 10, 10
That DeBarge family was/is amazing! After posting that amazing video of El DeBarge singing “Time Will Reveal”, it got me back on my DeBarge ish. Well, Switch is the band of their older brother Bobby DeBarge and also brother Tommy. Bobby had an amazing voice as well, and Jermaine Jackson discovered them and the band changed their name to Switch because of their ability to switch and play different instruments.

Bobby died years ago (his birthday was this week too), but this song is still a classic. That falsetto, man, people would pay for that these days. They really don’t make FAMILY bands like this anymore LOL. Or R&B singers. These fools played instruments, wrote songs, produced their own records and sung the hell out of them!

The 2nd song performed in the clip is another chart hit they had, “I Wanna Be Closer”. Now THAT is a love song!

RIP good music LOL.

Album Covers: Toni Braxton’s Pulse

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Mar 9, 10
Toni Braxton’s Pulse is set to hit stores May 4th here in the States. Out of all the songs that have dropped “Make My Heart” is my favorite so far. “Hands Tied” is a nice joint, but it’s not nearly as dynamic as “Make My Heart”.

She looks like a diva though, I’m loving this.

I hope Toni’s album is as good as she is looking these days, cause um err ah, yes ma’am, she could get it! Ain’t she getting a divorce? Let me stop plotting, Toni don’t want me…

Raheem DeVaughn’s Performance Is “Bulletproof”

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Mar 9, 10
Raheem DeVaughn’s talent cannot be denied, and many sites and blogs are calling his latest album The Love & War Masterpeace a classic, or if not that, a pretty great album. My jury is still out — I’ve been sitting with it so that I can write a comprehensive review.

In any case, dude’s an excellent live performer. “Bulletproof” isn’t my favorite song of his as of late, but he still sounds good singing it. Compare this performance to, say, Jaheim’s performance on Mo’Nique’s show a couple of weeks ago — much more interesting and a lot better sounding LOL.

Raheem’s latest album is in stores now — have you bought it? Share your thoughts on it if you have.

“Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart” Is Not Bad Per Se…

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Mar 8, 10
It’s just that Alicia makes it dreadful! And, to make it even more excruciating, she slows the tempo DOWN. We are only saved by the respite we find in the voices of the background singers. YA’LL BETTA SING.

Oprah featured Alicia in a recent episode and there was also chatter and a preview of the video for “Put It In A Love Song”. I got to say, I’m looking forward to the VISUALS of that video, not so much the audio. LOL.

I wanted to post this for that SLOW tempo though, what made her decide that was a good idea?!

This Quick Candid Vid Proves That KeKe Wyatt Can Sing, “Who Knew?” Indeed

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Mar 5, 10
Now, don’t get me wrong, I’ve been a fan of KeKe Wyatt since her duets with Avant came out. I knew homegirl could sing, but I didn’t know she could SANG.

Her new record is Who Knew? is out (and a review is forthcoming shortly), but someone captured some impromptu video of her singing “His Eye Is On The Sparrow” while she was preparing for a photo shoot. Wow. She SANG that down! Of course it’s filled with a lot of runs and improvisations typical of a black person singing a Black church traditional song, but at the end of the day, KeKe has range and power. I even get hints of Faith Evans here and there.

So that means that her main issue is the songs and records she is choosing. She just needs better material because that voice is stellar for all intents and purposes.

Just wanted to share!
