“OMG” Usher, This New Single Is Terrible Yo…

Usher – “OMG” [Listen + Download]

I have officially stopped caring about Usher and his music from here on out. This is his official single to be serviced to international markets apparently, and the song is produced by and features will.i.am.

This is just…not good. This song is going to clear dancefloors and make people switch radio dials all over the world. I hope Usher didn’t cash all his “Confessions” checks and/or piss them away in alimony…seriously. We expect more from Usher, and this ain’t it!

He can keep this, “Papers” and all the other songs that have leaked as far as I am concerned.

Am I alone? LOL that’s fine if I am, truly. I’ll be saving my $10 for gas, groceries and gum.

T.I. – “I’m Back” [Listen + Download]

Yes, every black blog on the planet is posting this. Sorry.

T.I. has a few nice lines, but overall I kind of feel like this is an unreleased joint from a couple of years ago or something. He ain’t been gone that long, he has to realize that times have changed LOL. I hope his new music sounds a bit more progressive than this.

It’s his comeback song so I will give him a pass, but I can’t wait to hear the REAL comeback joint, you know what I mean?

T.I. gets released from his Halfway House on March 26th. Lil’ Wayne went into jail today, and T.I. puts out new music.

Is Drake “Over” Before He Even (Officially) Gets Started?

Drake – “Over” [Listen & Download] [Alternate]

Drake’s first official single from his debut label-release album Thank Me Later has dropped and while it’s not anything as dynamic as the cuts from his mixtapes and appearances as late, the Boi-1Da produced goes pretty hard. I feel like Drake strung together a lot of metaphors and similes just because he could. It’s a real lowkey affair and his monotone drone on the hook detracts from the rest of the track.

Not a total fail but not a total slam dunk either. It kind of feels like a long album interlude. What you think?

Explore Music: The xx + DMX = Mash-up Hip-Hoppy Goodness

Written by The IPS in Blogs, New Music & Reviews on Mar 5, 10
You probably haven’t heard of The xx, but you’ve probably heard their song “Intro” if you’ve watched TV or the Olympics this year — it’s been ubiquitous. Now, someone has taken the song mixed it up with an a capella of DMX’s “X Gon’ Give It To Ya” and my GOD does it work. This is so freaking on point that it is kind of spooky. And way better than anything Linkin Park and Jay-Z ever created. True story.

These two seemingly different genres really meshed in the final mix though, it’s crazy!

What do you think? I’mma try and make an mp3 of this ASAP and will post it here when I do, for those who are interested.

This New Consequence Joint “Sounds G.O.O.D. 2 Me” As Well

Consequence – “Sounds G.O.O.D. 2 Me” [Listen & Download]

A new Consequence joint produced by Statik Selektah hit the web a couple weeks ago and I am just now getting to listen to it — and I haven’t stopped ever since I hit play. Consequence has a couple of joints that I like, and he’s a pretty solid lyricist. He’s definitely influenced by his G.O.O.D. Music label head, Kanye West, but even still, Cons is a dope rapper.

This joint is lifted from his mixtape that has yet to be released, Movies on Demand. He also has a new album down the pipes but we don’t have a release date for either. Statik Selektah’s beat goes hard and Cons has some great punch lines sprinkled throughout this joint. Solid. I still love his joint “Disperse”.

New Music: Fantasia Takes A Leak, Still No “Move On Me” Though

Written by The IPS in New Music & Reviews on Mar 3, 10
Fantasia’s next record is reportedly due this year, but aside from the snippets of new songs we’ve heard on her reality TV show “Fantasia For Real”, the only song we’ve heard is “Even Angels” which didn’t stick to my ribs at all. 4 new songs, “On and On”, “Never”, “Control Freak” and “Bounce Back” have hit the net, and while they are decent, they are a bit unmemorable if you ask me. What do ya’ll think? I’m still waiting for “Move On Me”. Hit the links to listen & download:

“On and On” – This is a nice pleasant song, and the background vocals are nice, but it’s definitely filler.

“Never” – This piano driven uptempo track is a bit wordy at times and it’s hard to lock into it on first listen, but Fantasia tries to rock out a bit with the guitars. Not sure if it works here though. I feel as if the track is competing with her vocals on the hook especially. It’s busy!

“Control Freak” – I can’t even take Fantasia seriously with this slowed down, sexytime bedroom “I’m a freak” songs. ROFL, especially when one of the first things she says is “Let me put on my Victoria Secrets”. Plural? LOL.

“Bounce Back” – Out of the four, this one is the most different yet familiar for Fantasia. I love the sassy feel of the song, the breaks in the track, the rhythm, etc. It sounds like a Rock City track, guessing. The horns and all work. The hook could be a little stronger, but I like this joint. Vocals sound a little unfinished as well, but this sounds like a step above filler.

Little Brother – “Curtain Call” [Listen & Download]

Phonte is back from Foreign Exchange for a minute to promote and get ready for the release of Little Brother’s final album LeftBack on April 20th. “Curtain Call” is the first single from the album and is sounding pretty good to me. I’m digging the sample and the nods to their past and their future on this track. It’s good to hear Pooh & Phonte back together again. Criminally underrated!

New Music: Estelle, Raheem DeVaughn & Aloe Blacc

Estelle – “Freak” (Prod. by David Guetta) [Listen & Download]

Estelle’s ready to unleash her inner-freak on the US with her second album All of Me, which is due soon. “Freak” is the first single from the album, and it features Canadian rapper Kardinal Offishal. The video should be dropping soon and was directed by Nabil, who’s recently done a lot of work with Kanye West. The kids are going to love this — I can see ya’ll emailing me the hot mess youtube videos right now.

It works for Estelle though, though it’s a great departure from her “American Boy” sounds — I think this sounds more like her early UK work, which a lot of US folks aren’t necessarily as familiar with. The “Back To Life” sample on the hook seems, odd? It works but I always get to that part and cringe a bit. This’ll have to grow on me! David Guetta is everywhere…

Raheem DeVaughn – “The Greatness” Feat. Wale [Listen + Download]

Raheem DeVaughn’s The Love & War Masterpeace is out tomorrow, but a new joint has hit the nets from the project which features Wale. “The Greatness” is an easy breezy swing & synth affair with some choice words by Wale. If you didn’t like “Bulletproof”, chances are you will still be able to find something that you like from Raheem’s latest project. You can go view the stream and snippets at Amazon if you’re really interested.

Aloe Blacc – “I Need A Dollar” [Listen & Download] [Buy] [Official Site]

Aloe Blacc has the theme song for HBO’s new show “How To Make It In America” which also features the ever expanding his money Kid Cudi. “I Need A Dollar” is a soul joint from a hip-hopper that dabbles in Latin rhythms, soul vocals and more. Some have called him the “West Coast Mos Def”. “I Need A Dollar” is all Aloe featuring prodution by Truth & Soul. This sounds like something from the 80’s-era Blaxploitation days — like straight out of “American Gangster” or something, doesn’t it? It’s different but it definitely is catchy and makes you sit up and pay attention. I’ve featured Aloe once or twice, he’s a pretty engaging and interesting underground MC. Hopefully this’ll get him more shine though.

Mixtape: Brandon Hines Is “In Search Of” New Fans & Love

Written by The IPS in New Music & Reviews on Feb 24, 10
Slow music day, but I thought you might enjoy this!

I like to think of Brandon Hines as Trey Songz without all the ugly vibrato. He has a nice middle of the road R&B voice that is pleasant enough. I think him with the right songwriters and producers could be a problem — like when J. Holiday first came out, he was beasting with that “Be With Me” and his version of “A Love Of Your Own” by the Average White Band.

Well Brandon has released a mixtape titled “In Search Of” for you to enjoy for free — I’ve embedded the widget so you can listen first and then decide if you want to download it for yourself.

“Bad Girl” sounds a bit like an Usher knock-off, but “Steady” and “Long Ride Home” are nice joints. There’s not any “bad” songs though, just nothing really “stands out” for the most part. Still a nice listen though.

Check it out, leave your thoughts. Also, peep his cover of Maxwell’s “Pretty Wings” after the jump — dude is nice!

(Right click, “Save As…”)

You know here at Tha Feedback, I’m doing my best to expose ya’ll to new music and a different audio experience from the regular one you may have on a daily basis, right? If you didn’t cop our last blend “The Feedback 2010 Blend Mix” done by nOvaSlim, you are missing out. Almost 500 people have downloaded a copy of it for themselves and it’s not too late to get it.

Well, my friend J. Space recently took a trip to Africa and experienced a bunch of new rhythms and rhymes in the form of African hip-hop, dancehall & more. Peep his experience and cop the mix above NOW! You will NOT be disappointed, trust me. Open your ears and imaginations and GET INTO THIS! It’s free. What are you waiting for?!

Upon returning from Uganda in January, J. Space approached Tha Feedback about sharing some of the music he gathered while he was there. This mix is the result. A collection of dancehall, progressive rock, and rhythms unique to the continent, this hour-long blend will take you from South Africa to Burkina Faso, Nigeria to Uganda, Kenya to Senegal, and everywhere in between. Along the way hopefully you’ll discover what J. Space did on his way “From Kampala to K-town”…that no matter where you go in the world, good music transcends all.
