Faith Evans | “Gone Already”
First Lady of Hip Hop Faith Evans is back with a brand new album “Something About Faith“, set to drop on October 5th! With a little piece of heaven in the form of a song, we are blessed with this new single titled ‘Gone Already’ and it’s straight FIRE! Carvin Haggins and Ivan Barias produced the track and Corey “Latif” Williams co-wrote the track. If you aren’t familiar with who they are, they are responsible for producing on every Musiq Soulchild album, Raheem DeVaughn’s “Customer” and a host of Jill Scott songs. Take a listen!
Another hot track has leaked from The Teflon Don Due on this Tuesday July 20th. This version may or may not appear on the album which features a sickening verse from Drake that is called “Paris Morton Music”. I had to share this with y’all because I have been singing it all day. I’m thinking Officer Ricky is gonna have the hottest album of the summer!

May 18th, 2010 marks the day of the Underdog in the music world.
First we have Kelly Rowland who has amazing potential and has released 2 albums that found mediocre success compared to her Group Destiny’s Child. Kelly Rowland will release her first single “Commander” produced by David Guetta, which has the Internet buzzing.
Up next is Kelis, the eclectic, former Star Trek First lady that showed much promise at the close of the 90’s with the single “Caught Out There”. Kelis 2nd album “Wanderland” was shelved in the U.S., but her 3rd album created the monster single “Milkshake” which peaked on the billboard Hot 100. After the smash, came the decline where her fourth album “Kelis Was Here” failed to gain the same momentum as her predecessor. After the disappointment of support of her record label. It was reported that Kelis was going to give up music and become a chef. May 17th marks the worldwide release date day for her 5th album Fleshtone that includes the #1 Dance Single “Acapella”. Unfortunately, Fleshtone will not be available in the U.S till July 6th.
Finally, Kansas born Janelle Monáe, a new artistdiscovered by Outkast’s Big Boi. Janelle was signed to Big Boi’s Purple Ribbon Label and was featured on The Idlewild Soundtrack. During this era, Janelle’s material never saw the light of mainstream media. In 2007, Janelle took the leap into the underground indie circuit to produce the first EP of 4 Metropolis Suite I of IV: The Chase. It was reported that she was able to sell 10,000 copies of the EP on her own. After numerous tours, collaborations, and finding a home at Bad Boy, Janelle Monáe is set to release her first full-length LP The ArchAndroid: (Suites II and III of IV) on May 18th .
So tomorrow everybody breakout your itunes, cash, and debit cards and go support these ladies tomorrow!

Young Jezzy | “Mama Told Me feat. Ester Dean”
Here is a track from Young Jezzy’s ‘Thug Motivation 103′ album that features Ester Dean on the hook. But from what reports say, this may be a demo for Beyoncé to sing on the official version of the song. Ester Dean is currently making a big splash in the music scene as of late! With her hands in Rihanna’s “Rude Boy”, Christina Aguilera’s “Not Myself Tonight”, and now this, Dean is taking over!! Take a listen!

Carmit Bachar | “Cream”
Following her split from the Pussycat Dolls, Carmit Bachar has been in the studio recording music for her solo album due out sometime this year. The first single is called “Cream”, which sounds like a Pussycat Dolls infused track mixed with some bubble gum pop old Britney Spears song. It’s not a bad track at all but is it first single material? My answer is no. It’s catchy but typical. Let’s hope she comes harder than this. Take a listen and give your thoughts!

Brandy | “Who’s The Loser Now?”
OMG OMG OMG! R&B’s greatest creation known as Brandy Norwood has leaked some material, old or new, that is BEYOND great! The song is called “Who’s The Loser Now?”. I have been thirsty for some new Brandy material and she gave me EVERYTHING I needed with this one! I can’t speak for everyone here at WhatsTheT.com but I, Jake Jacobs VI, am LOVING this track! I can stop listening to it!
Brandy is giving so much attitude and anger with this song; my favorite line is, “Who’s the loser now? You look stupid now… In the lost and found, who got you now!!???” I can’t with her right now! She just may have ended my life tonight and then brought me back to life! Seriously PLEASE GET INNNNN on this one!

Yesssss tracks from Drake’s upcoming album ‘Thank Me Later’ are leaking left and right!

Drake is on everyone’s track, everyone’s hot list, and everyone’s mind!
Although “Shut It Down” sounds like a The Dream production, its soooo not! Actually it’s produced by a Harlem based producer by the name of Omen. Get into it! Tell us your thoughts!
