  Neither David Banner or Chris Brown makes a physical appearance in this video but it doesn't stop this video from being somewhat interesting nonetheless. This is the debut video and single from David Banner's new album Sex, Drugs, and Violence out May 22. Who knew the release date was so close? I seen absolutely no promo for this album. I wonder is David indie now?

It seems like every time we turn around Timbaland is getting sued and it just goes to show no one is original these days. Everyone takes from everybody. Remember a few years ago when Timbaland got sued for some of the beats he produced on Nelly Furtado's "Loose" album? Read below for more info on Timbaland's settlement case as well as stories on Rick Ross' latest lawsuit and David Banner's disdain with rap.

Audio: Chris Brown - Froze Newly leaked track from Chris Breezy. Chris has so many songs leak time and time again, its hard to keep up. A lot of the songs are said to be demos for other artists and some for hisself. Audio: Bow Wow feat T-Pain - Dirty Girl Newly leaked track from his upcoming album, "New Jack City 2". I'm iffed about his album title. It was the "Price Of Fame" which was not bad but "NJC2" makes no sense? Where is part 1??? Audio: Young Jeezy feat Pharrell - Rumor Has It Newly leaked track from the Snowman himself. It's been awhile since I heard Pharrell on a hook. Trends in rap and R&B come and go and Pharrell on a hook was one of those many trends. Maybe it is one that might come back. I do like Pharrell and him on hooks are usually good!

"Classic Jaheim Vol 1" sums up some of Jaheim's biggest hits from the last few years. One album I'm really looking forward to is the debut from Chicago native, Kid Sister.

Video: Pro Nails feat Kanye West Chicago stand up! It's about to go down....all the way down! Kicking and punching her way onto the scene is fierce MC Kid Sister. Sister burst onto the scene with her hit, "Pro Nails" featuring another Chicagoan Kanye West. The song earned the rapper critical acclaim and a BET nomination for "Best Female Rapper". Sister's debut album, "Dream Date" featuring work from Pharrell Williams will be released November 4. Sister's delivery recalls old school female rappers such as Neneh Cherry and Monie Love. Her unique sense of style is something that has been missing from rap namely female rap. This is why the spotlight is on Kid Sister!
