50 Cent joins forces with The Voice judge Adam Levine for a performance of their new single My Life . 

If you haven't heard already Mary J. Blige is in the studio working on a new album. The details on the new album are pretty sketchy at this point but she is working with Ryan Leslie. In the meantime Mary can be heard on upcoming albums from Rick Ross("Deeper Than Rap") and Jadakiss("The Last Kiss"). I'm actually looking forward to a new Mary J. Blige album. I also like have realized how with each album Mary is always working with the newest and hottest producers around. This is something that helps keep Blige relevant and ahead of the pack of R&B singers. Keri Hilson may have a solo album, "In A Perfect World" in stores in a few weeks but that has not slowed her down as a songwriter to others. The singer/songwriter is in the studio with Usher working on his new album. It was reported awhile back that Usher is working with Pharrell and Adam Levine of Maroon 5. Keyshia Cole is riding high with new cd, "A Different Me" and her latest sin...

Audio: Usher - Enchanted Newly leaked track! This track isn't too bad. Look for a new Usher album to surface very soon! Audio: Cassie - I'm A Lover Newly leaked track! Produced by The-Dream & Tricky Stewart! Very 80s inspired! This sounds like something Vanity 6 would of recorded. I personally think Cassie should just give up singing. It is just not working at this point! A lot of the leaked songs in the past have been very mediocre. Audio: Slim Thug feat Akon - Please Don't Do That Newly leaked track! Sounds cool! I wrote off Akon and T-Pain awhile back but I'm starting to think they are here to stay.......a little while longer anyway. I also read that Slim Thug and LeToya are back together. The couple have been off and on for a number of years. Music Biz: Usher Collabs With Pharrell On New Album! "It's a little bit of everything," Usher said of what they've been working on.

Audio: Marques Houston feat Fabolous - Do For U Newly leaked track! Marques was supposed to release his "Mr Houston" album last year but it never came out. I figure since first single, "Sunset" didn't take off he reworked his album a bit. Marques is one of my favorite male vocalists so I will look forward to his new album when it comes out. Audio: Raheem DeVaughn feat Ludacris - Bulletproof Newly leaked track! Ludacris is always a featured guest rapper on most songs especially nowadays. Ludacris' guest verse on this song inspired today's poll. Who is your favorite featured guest rapper? Audio: Usher - To The Moon Newly leaked track! This song is just alright. New Usher songs are leaking by the dozens. Usher is currently in the studio working on a new album with Pharrell and Adam Levine of Maroon 5. Had "Here I Stand" been a success we wouldn't be getting a new album so soon. Music Biz: Plies Talks New Single! "Everybody is calling it a...
