Daily Roundup: Def Jam Artists Dropped

-


Ms. Keyshia Cole is enjoying the platinum success of her new album, "Just Like You". The singer is releasing "Heaven Sent" as the album's fourth single. The video will be shot in Hawaii on March 4 by acclaimed video director Benny Boom (who has directed the majority of Keyshia's videos). Keyshia proves that albums can have longer shelf lives if you put out the right singles. Take notes people!

Singers Bobby Valentino, Shareefa ("I Need A Boss" feat Ludacris), and Steph Jones have all been dropped from Ludacris' DTP imprint which is distributed by Def Jam Records. The artists recently performed a showcase at New York's famous R&B Live where the feedback was less than thrilling. I am quite surprised. It seems like the artists would of been dropped from Def Jam and not DTP.

R&B singer Keith Sweat known for hits such as "Make It Last Forever" and "Nobody" will release his first new album in 6 years. The new album titled, "Just Me" will be in stores May 6. The album features collaborations with Keyshia Cole on "Love U Better" and Athena Cage (who was featured on "Nobody").

Rapper Bun B will release his new album "II Trill" on April 29. The album's first single is "That's Gangsta" featuring Sean Kingston. Production and collaborations come in the form of Scott Storch, Mya, Chamillionaire, Slim Thug, and Paul Wall.

I kept wondering what it was about this post, that made it so successful; one word: JANET! The fact that Janet has new music on the way makes this post even more of a hot topic. As its been said before, no one sings about sex quite like Janet Jackson. Her songs, ooze with the right amount of sexuality perfect for a night of steamy sex. Take a look back at a number of songs Janet is responsible for delivering her in trademark breathy delivery. I took the liberty of adding a few other songs that didn't make the list before.  "Warmth" This song begins with echos of Janet saying "...in my mouth". By then you should already know what this song is about. Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time. This is a very sensual song and it is one of the most explicit Janet has ever record...
