Chris Brown Track Snippet Leaks Out

Audio: Chris Brown - Takes Time(Snippet)
Newly leaked track!




Audio: Bobby Valentino feat. Ludacris, Lil' Wayne, Lil' Kim, and Yung Joc - Beep Remix
Newly leaked track!



Even with the new remix I still don't care much for this song. Lil' Kim's guest verses have been pretty weak lately. Ludacris always delivers. No surprise with Lil' Wayne. Bobby's new album, "Rebirth" is set for release soon.

Audio: Keri Hilson - Control Me
Newly leaked track! Demo track for Rihanna for possible inclusion on upcoming Rihanna album! Keri even dons Ri's trademark accent.



I like Keri and I'm glad she finally has a hit on her hands with "Turnin Me On" feat Lil' Wayne. Keri's oft-delayed album, "In A Perfect World..." will be in stores soon. With the success of the new single, they need to be striking while the iron is hot.

Music Biz:
Lil' Wayne Rebirths On New Album!

Lil Wayne announced the official release date and title of his next album: Rebirth is due April 7 — and his publicist has confirmed to MTV News that it will be a rock album. Of course, Wayne has been rocking with a guitar for some time now. The first single is called "Prom Queen" and will debut on the Internet right after a live stream of his concert in San Diego on January 27. The show will be available for stream on MySpace.com.

It looks like we'll be seeing a bit of album title deja vu because Bobby Valentino's newest album is also called, "Rebirth". This will be interesting to see if either of these two titles will change. Unlike Bobby V, Lil' Wayne actually has a set release date for his album too. I'm a little surprised though to see Lil' Wayne following up "The Carter 3" so fast.

Plies, Trina Plan New Albums!

Miami-based record label Slip-N-Slide Records will release three major albums this year along with albums from a handful of newcomer's. Although release dates have not yet been set, Plies, Trina, and Rick Ross are all releasing albums some time this year. All three artists released albums last year, with Rick Ross' album Trilla being the most successful, as far as sales are concerned.

I think Plies needs to chill for a little after this album. I am looking forward to the new Trina album though I smell a few push backs. She is notorious for pushing her album back.
