Album Review: Trey Songz - Passion, Pain, Pleasure

Trey shows that his reign on the R&B throne is not a fluke. After a successful turnout of his last album , Ready , he drops Passion, Pain, Pleasure , just a year after Ready. And from what I heard, this tape may cause more pregnancies then all my Sexual Seduction tapes combined. Reason why I say this is because of a past project. If you recall, before he dropped Ready, he dropped what was basicallu one of the top R&B mixtapes of 2009 with Anticipation. It was more personal, deeper, more intimate, So when Ready was more on the Pop side, people became skeptical. I guess Trey's management spotted that which is why PPP is more like Anticipation, which in return increase his fans' adoration by miles.

I like that he does most of the album BY HIMSELF to show his range and talent. Only features I spot are Bottoms Up with Nicki Minaj and Unusual with Drake. Also some tracks still have the sexual feel as well as being club hits, like 'Alone' and 'Blind'. But the majority of the album is very intimate like the radio hit 'Cant Be Friends'. Something that the ladies are longing for , Trey will provide.

Personally, he stepped up from Ready. Now it's proof, his reign is not a fluke. Hopefully this can inspire more intimate R&B records like back in the 90s that we all grown to love
And as i see, people are already trying to make babies to PPP. LOL. Don't send Tremaine Aldon Neverson the child support bill. You are responsible for your actions.

Passion, Pain, Pleasure in stores now.

Album Review: Rick Ross: Teflon Don

Album Review - Teflon Don


It's interesting to follow Rick Ross' career. It's also to follow the hype of this album, Teflon Don. His album was pushed back to this tuesday by dealing with a lawsuit by the Real Ricky Ross. After surpassing the trial, he had rights to continue under his name. He also had to deal with his past coming about when the world found out he was a corrections officer. That fueled the conflict with an emcee that frequently deals with beef, 50 Cent. A lot of fans ultimately left because of distrust to him about his truth to his lyrics. Then we can talk about his affilation with P. Diddy. That's a whole other story. So hence it's his 4th studio album as he reps Miami once again. There's a lot of positive feedback on this album. So what do I think?

Well, it certainly helps making a sucessful project when you feature basically ALL of the best emcees AND singers the world has to offer. Jay-Z, Erykah Badu, John Legend, Kanye West, T.I., Trey Songz, Jadakiss, Styles P, Raphael Saadiq, Drake, Ne-yo are just the majority of the features on this record and ALL are in the forefront in some way(basically like how the Miami Heat was formed). But Rick Ross does deliver. He brought in the intro with force on "I'm Not a Star" but one record that should be granite is "Free Mason" with Jay-Z and John Legend. The way they intertwined their religious devotion to their success is mind-blogging but somehow easing. Also turned off rumors of Jay as a Mason. "Live Fast, Die Young" with Kanye West was a fun record that sounds a little futuristic.

Another thing to commend is the production of this album. I thought his last album Deeper Than Rap was hot. On this album, all musical elements was melted to lava. These producers (Kanye West, No I.D., Danja, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, The Inkredibles, Clark Kent, Lex Luger, The Olympicks, The Remedy) made a grand slam with this one as they made this record seems theatrical. The way you can appreciate the sound is almost the same lesson as going to an orchestra. The record to describe this the most is "Maybach Music III" with T.I, Jadakiss and Erykah Badu. The way the beat changes IS a movie.

For the streets, MC Hammer with Gucci Mane and his single B.M.F. with Styles P is a double dose to subdue. I just wish these two records don't sound EXACTLY the same. No. #1 with Trey Songz and P. Diddy looks better on paper. Even though the beat is fun, it sounds like the featured artists were uncomfortable on that record. All the Money in the world with Saadiq was a good concept. Some things are more important than money. One is telling Rozay to stop singing on the hook! lol

My favorite track? Aston Martin Music.......perfectly structured with Drake and Chrisette Michele. Not punchline heavy but you can listen to this record 5 times and not be bothered.

Overall, you see how Rick Ross stepped up. Punchlines are more potent but more noticeable you hear more hunger in his voice. Usually it's the opposite when an artist makes it. You may want him to talk less about money-related issues but he combines it with real life issues to make it more relative to the average listeners. Now you can put your negative opinions about and you have your right. But two things you have to accept:

One: He went to the top of the game, fell down for various reasons, and went back to the top, to the EXACT level of excitement. Only a Few artists did that

Two: He KNOWS how to structure a SONG. Something you can listen to in the future.

He may not be the Real Rick Ross.......but in this case, he is a valid artist.

ALBUM REVIEW: Drake - Thank Me Later

For over a year, the whole industry and its fans were waiting on this LP as Drake continued to climb the mountain of Hip-Hop immortality. Since he dropped his historic So Far Gone mixtape (which has now sold over 400,000 units as an EP), Drake has been the #1 or close to #1 artist talked about. From surprising features to prolific interviews to syndicated videos, he always find a way to stay in your ear or the screen. Not bad from October's Very Own from Toronto. Few weeks ago the LP(just like every f**kin album) leaked to the public. Two years ago, The Carter III leaked ans still did a million. Will the offishall debut of Drake do the same? Possibly.

As far as the features, he had a whole lot of aid. Alicia Keys went alongside Drake in the premier track, "Fireworks". Boi-1Da will always deliver as he is the top sound right now. T.I and Swiss Beats delivered with Drizzy on "Fancy" as it can be a club hit. Drake and Lil Wayne basically went ignant s**t once again on "Miss Me". The Top feature is one of the legends teaching Drake about legacy as Jay-Z drops an intoxicating verse on "Light Up". The surprising thing is that Drake can keep it up with anyone he gets on the track with. (Drake! where the Dr.Dre produced track with Eminem huh???)

One track I can truly respect. "Show me a Good Time" Kanye laid the crazy 808 as usual. The DJ that scratched on it was nasty and Drake went in on history including a shoutout to J Dilla.

This album is worth the hype for 2010 However.........

When you compare debuts from legends like Nas' Illmatic , Biggie's Ready to Die, Eminem's Slim Shady LP & Marshall Mathers LP , I'm not sure if TmL can rank among these relics of time. These artists went in on personal subjects, from beefs with their mothers to sclling crack and heroin, to being broke and starving, with your stomach close to your ribs. Also these artists make you seriously think with memorable , complex lyrics. Drake however made this album "for your girlfriend" and went in on different tales of adultery. Yes, some of these words make you think and have some complexion But.......Can TML sell 2 million if it came out the same week as a Tupac album in 1996? That i'm not sure.

These beats are sickening. Drake amped up his vernacular another notch. Every song on here can be a hit. Thank Me Later is worth the hype. For now it is the #1 album of 2010. One of the best since graduation. Drake is definitely top 5 right now........but if you talking about legacy, if you talking about history and being among Pac, Snoop, Em, Jay. or Big, That's when Thank Me Later has a reasonable doubt. Drake will have to follow up on his next LP. Then we can thank him fully.

STATE YOUR NAME CANNON: K. Michelle

This is what I can describe as a diamond in the rough. Her fan base and her reputation was very promising before I first talked to her and Delante on the FSDJ conference call(If you don't know Delante, he managed Trey Songz from the beginning of his career until early this year). The whole call was checking for her. Everyone approved her. So of course I had to judge for myself. Her voice is strong, and her lyrics holds a lot of meaning. People described her as the next Mary J. Blige. There is a spot for a female R&B artist to take right now to deliver to this generation. With a contract to Jive, a long portfolio, and prior alliance to R.Kelly, this lady has the best shot in taking that void. So get to know her in this exclusive interview before 106 & Park tomorrow. The next artist I'm riding with, and a woman who keeps it real 100%. World, meet Jive recording artist, K. Michelle:


State Your Name Cannon:
Wassup yall, this ya girl K.Michelle

Where you representin?
I'm representing Memphis, Tennessee, cuz we always keeping it pimpin. And That's wassup.

Tell me about life in Memphis. The hospitality, the cuisine, everything. Lol because I'm thinking of going there one day.
My life in Memphis.....I'm definitely a product of my environment. I've learned a lot about music, a lot of good food, and learned how to be a fighter, basically. Memphis is basically known for barbecue. We have Barbecue everything. We even have barbecue spaghetti and it's delicious, believe it or not
(That sounds yummy. I got to try that one day.)

What got you to start singing and at what point in your life did you decide that this is what you supposed to do?
I've always known that I wanted to be a singer. From the beginning I knew that I wanted to sing. I think the point when I knew i was going to do this professionally was when I went overseas to China and spent a lot of time over there performing with the Chinese orchestra. And that made me realize that this is something that I really wanted to do, and on top of that I was broke so I needed some money.

Talk to me about when you got signed to Jive/Hitz Committee.
Well, when I got signed to Jive Records, it was a very important thing to me. The most important person in my deal who has developed me is Robert Kelly (R.Kelly) and he's the one who took out the time to actually develop my sound. He didn't place gimmick records on me like other people did. So he allows me to sing what I need to sing and he allows me to speak the truth on who I am as a woman, as a mother and as an artist. Jive has been behind me 100% . Wayne Williams, my new A&R as well as Robert Kelly, those are the people who are in it to basically let me be me and let me be a real artist.

Your manager Delante managed Trey Songz and helped him to where he is at today. One tactic he told him was to jump on anything and everything. The same goes for you. So how many records you plan to slaughter? lol
Well, with Delante being my manager and him managing that other boy, and they told him to jump on , you know, different tracks and things like that. I been liking to flip things up. And I love music. Whenever I hear a record I like, I like to hop on it, have some fun with it because being an artist we hear a track and take it in different ways. Like you might want to say this and I might want to say that. But it's still good music so I plan on slaughtering a lot of records.

Name three idols you have. musically, socially, etc.
Three idols that I have musically are Whitney Houston, Robert Kelly, and Mary J. Blige.




Talk to me about Pain Medicine, your album scheduled to release in the fall.
My album Pain Medicine is therapy for me. It was like a journal, how people write down what they go through every day; There are two records that I don't like on that album so far but I'm going to make them take them off because of the political reasons that these tracks are on there. I want the tracks to represent Pain Medicine. If I don't like it, I don't want it on there. So Pain Medicine is going to be a real reflection of who I am. When people hear it, they will be able to know who I am and what I represent. I'm pushing for a September release date. I'm just trying to build my brand. I just want my fans to touch me and see me so I want to reach out to as many of my fans before Pain Medicine comes out.

This might be a little personal. Tell me some of the painful experiences you went through and how it translates to your music.
Umm I went through a lot of personal experiences that I choose not to give away in an interview because I can probably make some money telling it in a book or some shit. But yea, I went through a lot of things. Just being a single mother, being in the industry, dealing with a lot of coons in the industry and a lot of bullshit. You go through a lot of pain, a lot of eye-opening experiences that will break you or make you stronger. So I put a lot of that into this album.

On the conference call, you said you took songs back because it just didnt represent you. Tell me the importance of staying real even if you get signed. As we know, some artists does a 180 when they get signed.
I think it's very important for artists to remain who they are. All these people that invested in you invested in YOU. And I feel like you can become better. You can use your team to help you become a better person, a better artist. At the same time you can't lose who you are. You have to grow on your own pace. You don't sleep good at night faking to be somebody. I want people to love me for the REAL K. Michelle, not somebody who was created. So it's very important because there is only one YOU so imagine you unique and you make good music. Can't nobody mimic you. Can't nobody copy what you do.


Delante described how cool you are, chillin, sippin. What's your favorite bottle? and say you made your own liquor, what would it be?
Um I am cool. Yep. Lol. My favorite liquor of course is Jack Daniels. And that's wassup. That's what it is.


The things you like in a man. Or Dislike.
There's a lot of things I dislike or like in a man. That would take forever. I just dislike full grown boys. That's what I call them. Overgrown boys. Because they are really not men. So it will take forever to tell you what i exactly dislike or like in a man because I find something new that i dislike in a man everyday.

Is it possible to keep a steady relationship in the music industry?
Keeping a steady relationship in the industry is no different from keeping a steady relationship in general, in life period. Only place where I feel that a steady relationship goes smoothly is on the Planet of Pandora. So when it comes to a relationship, you have to figure out that's what you want to do, has to be the right person, and has to be an open line of communication. And you have to be ready to roll with the punches and you know, stay on deck. A steady relationship isn't different in the business if your mate understands your job and what you have to do.





15. Tell me about the feedback you have been receiving. Are you nervous about your 106 & Park debut?
I've been receiving a lot of feedback. I have people who has accepted me with open arms and everyday there are just new people, so it's amazing to see the growth and how people start to learn about you and embrace you. I also have the haters but I love them. They are only confused fans. They come to youtube and listen to your music, just like the fans do. It's no different so as long as you click and give me that youtube view and keep my name in your mouth, you are a fan. You are just a confused one.
106 & Park this Thursday (Tomorrow after this post date 04.28.10) I'm excited that my video will be on there!

Where will K. Michelle be at 5 years from now?
5 years from now I will be like Dave Chapelle. The fuck away from herre. I love music. I don't like the people in it. I feel like there are a lot of devils in this industry and I will be under attack. I don't want to be around them. I want to sing, get my story across, take care of my child. We have let Angelina Jolie go and adopt me a bunch of babies. Imma take all my money and run away. Thank you, God Bless and goodnight. That's how I feel about that.

Contact info:
If you want to contact me , @KMICHELLEMUSIC is my twitter. Definitely contact me with all positivity. Anything negative, hey I definitely use the block button at least 4x a day. Thank you.

Any shoutouts?Thanks for the interview. And congratulations on becoming an official Future Star Artist. Count me in about supporting you 100%
Thank you so much! Very happy to be an official member of the Future Star family. Very glad about that and I'm glad you wanted to interview me. Anything else you need let me know and I got you. Peace.

ALBUM REVIEW: B.O.B. - The Adventures of Bobby Ray

This artist has always gained respect in the Hip-Hop world for his versatility. He can flow, with decent lyrics, play the guitar, play the piano, sing......what can't he do? His respect was unanimously intact when Eminem stated he's interested in collabing with Bobby Ray. That wish has came true on this album, The Adventures Of Bobby Ray. Add features from Lupe Fiasco, a comeback verse from T.I., and Janelle Monae, and you have an LP that cannot and should not be ignored. But the main reason why I think this album should be platinum(yes, dammit, i said Platinum) is because this album was a musical experiment that passed. He streched out all his talents to the sky and gave us quality music.

You would think it was a hip hop album because B.O.B is part of P$C and Grand Hustle. But after the intro track "Don't Let Me Fall" filled with guitar notes, you know your ears are heading into another direction. "Nothin on You" ft. Bruno Mars is a timeless radio hit that can transcend any market. "Past my Shades" with Lupe Fiasco can definitely make you think with the lean back guitar notes in the back. "Ghost In The Machine" sounds like it should have came out in 2012 with it's space-like melody. Hypnotic because you are tempted to play it 3x over.

This album is what I think every artist should look to as a blueprint today. When you making an album, you stretch your creativity to the max. Bobby Ray did this with his musical experiment and passed. Every genre has a part to his creative process, eliminating any boundary keeping you from getting this album. To cap off, B.O.B and Eminem gave you an introspective look on the last track, Airplanes, Part II (Reminded me of Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, Imagine, but more detailed) Eminem killed it as always, while B.O.B held his own. This album seriously is a work of art, which is why I plead to you to go buy this album when it comes out tomorrow instead of downloading it. It's definitely a platinum sound.

T.I 's pockets are gonna be obese after this album.

DJ T-Dubb: The Commission (Album)

Whenever I think of "The Commission" in hip hop, i think of the supergroup that was supposed to come together, you know, Biggie, Jay-Z and Charli Baltimore. When DJ T-Dubb came together with The Commission, it's a similar concept; Bringing real hip-hop back to the forefront. Since the DJ is responsible, he's doing his job word for word. Just because you are not DJ Khaled doesn't mean you can make an album.

I talked with the Spin Syndicate/Team Skyy captain/Virtual Assassin about this album:

"Well I did this album to get back to the essence of the DJ and Hip-Hop. A DJ’s job is (was) to break new music and give the people some new artist. And That’s all I'm trying to do with this project. Now you can do that with a mix tape and all but then with a mix tape you know us, we gonna talk on it and all. So what I did, I took a page from DJ Khalid and DJ Drama. They get a collab of various artist for their albums, so I did the same thing but on an indy level..
Now there are some majors on here, but its mostly new and upcoming artist that are really doing their thing in the area they are from. But with that being said, who's call is it to say who is major and who isn't. Its more like more known that the next one. But here are some of the artist, there is Credimac, Trigger The Gambler, Mike Carleon, J’Sar, Tony Moon, Freeze, Noah-O, Jah-I-Witness Emcee, Bad Seed, Talib, Mims, Nia The Fox (And man she is a fox too lol) Louie Millz and B-Palma, Canayda, Joey Gallo, Kleph Dollaz, Nottz Raw and others...
Its not on iTunes, but I will have a download link. I wanted to GIVE the people something good, something hot and let them see 1st hand that there is still really good and substantial music out there that just needs to come thru and get some light and play time. So that’s what this album is and hopefully will do for the whole series………Yep, there will be more lol! This is “The Commission” next will be “The Commission Strikes Back” and then later this year, “The Return Of The Commission" - DJ T-Dubb
