Wow! What an ACTION-PACKED PLAYLIST!!!! There are so many HOT SONGS here, that you really just want to click PLAY and let it be the soundtrack for your weekend! My partner J.Write would be mad if I didn't mention to pay special close attention to the new T-Pain ft Ludacris, "Chopped & Screwed!" Alicia Keys is in the lineup with Jack White as they recorded the newest James Bond theme. Mary J. Blige jumps on a track with Musiq Soulchild, Kanye re-releases "Love Lockdown," and vocal powerhouses and American Idol alums Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia are on the SAME TRACK! These are just SOME of the HITS in this list. JUST PRESS PLAY!!! Have a great weekend!

So today's the day! Mariah Carey is back and poised to conquer one of the most celebrated achievements in our time - more #1 singles than the Beatles, who have 20. She has already passed Elvis Presley's record of 18 which is amazing in and of itself. I think Mariah may not be topping what she is already done from an artistic standpoint, but why not stay the course when it is leading you to the history books? Mariah can break new ground on the next album. I will be there to ensure she will! My favorite song right now is certainly "Side Effects" featuring Young Jeezy.

Make sure you check out these tracks, I have included the tracklisting, as

It's a shame that the number of Grammy nods doesn't dictate where the actual ceremony is held, if that was the case, Atlanta would definitely be the spot for the 50th annual Grammy Awards taking place this weekend in L.A. Check out the ATL artists (some native and others new) that will be repping hard on Sunday.

The list doesn't stop here, be looking for mega-producers DJ Toomp and C. "Sticky"Stewart to also be repping hard for the A in the Record of the Year and Album of the Year categories. Also shout outs to Gnarles Barkley and Outkast, they are definitely nominated as well. For a complete list of this year's nominations visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50th_Annual_Grammy_Awards

Check out Kanye's new video for his 3rd single, "Good Life" ft. T-Pain and Kelly's 2nd single "Ghetto" ft. Snoop Dogg.

Check out a sample performance of Chris Breezy (Chris Brown) and T-Pain's new single, entitled "Kiss Kiss." I can't wait for the video the song is BLAZIN' Enjoy!

The BRiSON poll closes tonight so make sure you rep hard for your favorite male R&B singer! So far Chris Brown is getting it on and poppin in the lead, but Usher and Neyo don't seem too far behind. A few artists left off the poll, but that continue to get votes, are T-Pain, R.Kelly, and Akon; we didn't intentionally leave them off the list, but feel free to add them in the space marked as other. Make sure you tune in Monday to hear who YOU voted the best R&B singer of 2007!!!

As much as I hate to admit it, I have to give props where props are due! Your boy T-Pain, who I personally never thought would see a sophomore project, has not only kept his industry attendance up, but must be planning some kind of take-over. Obviously, he is on every last single remix that hits the airwaves, but with this week's release of his sohopmore project, Epiphany, T-Pain leaves some critics wondering whether he's a superstar in the making.


Off top, T-Pain is definitely coming harder than his first project; let's look at the 1st singles: I'm Sprung vs. Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin') I guess there's really no need to comment, but what I'd really like to discuss is the obvious growth in conversation and lyrical content on this new project. We all probably came to love T-Pain (ok, like him at least) through his mega-hit and remix, I'm N Luv (Wit A Stripper), but we all know we thought to ourselves, "he ain't talking about nothing!!!" (unless you just left Magic City or one of the sorts) But T-Pain is coming a little different on this album. While the album is highly infused with songs that make you want to run to the liquor store, the album also holds tracks that touch on real life issues that affect lots of today's youth and adults. Take track 5, I got It & track 6, Suicide. Track 5 is an interlude into 6, and discuss with the growing issue of HIV and LOVE in today's society. This is a topic that lots of artists think about, but not many have had the balls to touch (even after the rumor hit that a Houston rapper was speading this disease). There isn't much I want to really say on the topic, I think T-Pain hit the nail on the head, But I would like to pose a question and offer you the chance to give BRiSON a little feedback: Please place all comments in the CONTACT US field
Could you continue to stay with someone that's HIV positive, but your status is HIV negative? Or do you see that as a form of SUICIDE???
