Some of the biggest crossover hits in recent years have been produced by Nate "Danja" Hills. It all stared with a chance encounter with producer Timbaland himself. After playing some music for Timbaland; the producer expressed interest in working with him. An invitation to Timbaland's Miami recording studio would prove to be beneficial. Serving as a ghost producer to Timbaland; Danja had a hand in some very viable hits. These weren't just your average R&B productions; these were state of the art pop songs. Check out the list to see for yourself! Migrate, Mariah Carey Knock You Down, Keri Hilson feat.

Meanwhile check out Ms. Hudson on the newest issue of JET magazine. Music Biz: Danja Upset Over Whitney Houston Grammy Snub! Record producer Danja, who helmed two tracks from from Whitney Houstons Platinum comeback album I Look to You, has addressed the recent Grammy snub which saw the diva walk home with zero nominations despite pushing her album forward to meet the Grammy deadline. “I’m a little disappointed because she put together a classic album. Her overall comeback is something to be noted but I’m a believer that great people and great music will always show its head,” he told Billboard.com. Clive Davis insisted that 'I Look To You' be pushed up to compete in the Grammy nominations but I guess Grammy wasn't feeling it like that. Kelly Rowland Mad At Destiny's Child Lawsuit! According to the NY Daily News singer Kelly ...

Hello all! Of course the weekends are usually very slow as far as updates are concerned. I try my best to make sure I do give you all a little something. This is my first time on the computer today so I found some music news for you all. Check it out! Music Biz: Jennifer Lopez Plans New Album! According to new reports, the fabulous one Jennifer Lopez has a tentative release date of September for her new single. It was previously reported that the diva would be releasing her first greatest hits package soon, but that seems to have been pushed back for now whilst she focuses soley on her next studio album and acting projects. It was recently reported that JLo had been in the studio with both Jim Jonsin and Danja. JLO's last album, "Brave" didn't do too well so she definitely needs to bring it with this new album. I think if she comes hard enough with the music [and movies], it will be a welcome return. Nelly Furtado Talks English Album! "I’m also writing a...

Christina Milian returns to the music scene with her new album, "Dream In Color" due in stores this spring. Her first single, "Us Against The World" premiered online earlier this year. The video for the single will premiere this week! To the left you can check out the exclusive artwork for the single cover. As far as the upcoming album is concerned, look for production and collaborations from Danja, Kanye West, and Jim Jonsin. Judging by the single cover, it looks like something I've seen before. I like Christina Milian. I applaud her for continuing to do music despite her not being a blockbuster selling artist like her counterparts. In My Own Words: There have been quite a few whispers regarding Ciara and Beyonce having beef. Ciara recently appeared on a remix to Beyonce's "Diva". Many people are enquiring about a few choice lyrics Ciara sung. There has also been word that the two have been trading insults via songs. Who knows? Who really cares at...

Keyshia Cole looks extra lovely on the latest issue of Billboard magazine. In the article the singer talks about her new album, new outlook on life, and the new season of her hit series, "The Way It Is" which airs on BET. Keyshia's new album, "A Different Me" in stores December 16 is just one of the many high-profile albums dropping this holiday season. The album is led by first single, "Playa Cardz Right" featuring 2Pac. The album contains collaborations from Monica and Polow Da Don just to name a few. I didn't care much for Keyshia's last album as a whole but it had some standouts here and there. The album's singles were very huge and that alone gave "Just Like You" a long shelf life. Audio: Britney Spears - Kill The Lights New song from Brit's "Circus" album in stores December 2. The song was produced by Danja(worked with Keri Hilson). A lot of people are excited and looking forward to Brit's real(and true) co...

Check out the new album cover from Syleena Johnson. Johnson is responsible for hits such as "Guess What" and "Hypnotic". Known primarily for her work with R. Kelly, Syleena was formely signed to Jive Records where she released three albums. Now with Federal/Universal Records she is releasing "Chapter 4: Labor Pains" on September 2. The album is preceded by first single, "Shoo Fly" produced by Traxster[worked with Mariah Carey]. While Syleena certainly has an astounding and soulful voice, she has never quite been my cup of tea. Music News: Rihanna who is currently riding high with the re-release of her "Good Girl Gone Bad" album has reached #1 with her latest single, "Disturbia". Just weeks ago Rihanna topped the list with "Take A Bow" and now this. Though this was bound to happen. Rihanna is reported to be releasing a "Greatest Hits" album this Christmas. So soon?

Music News: Jennifer Hudson will release her self-titled debut album on September 30. The album sports collaborations from Ludacris, Timbaland, Robin Thicke, The Clutch, The Underdogs, Ne-Yo, and Stargate. First single, "Spotlight" is taking off and currently sits at #14 on the R&B charts. The second single is being touted as "Pocketbook" featuring Ludacris and it was written/produced by The Clutch and Timbaland. I am looking forward to Jen's album. If you would of asked me awhile back, I would of said no. J Records seems to really be pulling all the stops out for Jen. I just hope they don't drop the ball on her after her second album like they do with all their other urban acts. Ciara may of had a few false starts as far as her first single is concerned. It has been rumored that "Work" may be in contention for her first single. Ciara's triple album, "Fantasy Ride" will be released this November. The album sports collaborations fr...
