Audio: Brandy - One Thing Newly leaked track! Produced by Brian Kennedy. Like Rodney Jerkins, Brandy most of recorded a ton of tracks with Brian Kennedy. As we see most of these tracks didn't make the album but are now surfacing. Audio: Usher - Take A Ride Newly leaked track! Audio: Ne-Yo - Better Today Newly leaked track! Produced by Stargate! It's crazy because a new Ne-Yo song practically leaks every other day!

Rihanna's "Good Girl Gone Bad" made her a superstar and if you have faith in an album's potential, why not milk it for all its worth? If labels had more faith in records a lot of them would be more successful. Of course lowering prices wouldn't hurt either. Anyway Rihanna is re-releasing "Good" again this time as a remix version. How 'bout it? The album will be in stores January 27! Audio: Keri Hilson feat Busta Rhymes - Turnin Me On Remix of singer/songwriter's latest single. Audio: Brandy - Keyed Newly leaked track from the "Human" sessions. Produced by Brian Kennedy! Audio: Marsha Ambrosius feat The Game - Murdah Newly leaked track from former Floetry singer. Her new mixtape "Yours Truly" was recently released! Music Biz: Eartha Kitt Dies!

Audio: Brandy - Freedom New track believed to be from her "Human" recording sessions! Produced by Brian Kennedy(who is responsible for producing on "Human"). Audio: Pretty Ricky - 4 Play New track! I was on one of my P2P(Peer 2 Peer) sites and saw that Pretty Ricky's new(shelved) album, "80s Babies" had leaked out! Who knew? Now that I think of it this seems like a thinly-veiled diss at former member Pleasure P. As we know Pleasure P left the group to pursue a solo career. While the song is obviously about sex, it is also a diss to Pleasure P. Interesting. Audio: MIMS feat LeToya - Love Rollercoaster New track! I thought MIMS was done but apparently not. Obviously a new album is on the horizon. When I find more news about it, I'll post it.

Video: Various Artists - Stand Up To Cancer Performance Music News: Janet Jackson has spoken out(again) concerning her relationship with label Def Jam after dismal sales of her latest album, "Discipline". While the album debuted at #1 in March 2008, the album has yet to go gold and has sold 413,000 copies to date. It has been reported that this will be the last album Janet records under Def Jam. Ever since Janet has been working with JD, her music and sales have gone downhill. I still enjoy her music but everything is always screwed up. I'm surprised JD has lashed out on Def Jam like he did Virgin. Brandy appeared on BET's "106 & Park" yesterday and talked a little about her upcoming album, "Human" in stores November 11.

The album sports collaborations with Brian Kennedy[worked with Rihanna], RedOne[worked with Kat DeLuna], and James Fauntleroy[worked with Jordin Sparks]. Confirmed songs include: Torn Down , Long Distance , Piano Man , and Fall . Wow! I can't believe it! Brandy is actually releasing a new album. Another one bites the dust. Keri Hilson who is riding high with hit single, "Energy" has pushed back her album, "In A Perfect World" to October 7. The album was originally scheduled to be released on September 23. I don't know why they are pushing her album back. Her single is climbing the charts every week and her original release date was still a month away. Well its no longer a surprise when albums get pushed back.
