Future is being sued for 10 million dollars by Rocko. Do you all remember Rocko? He used to date Monica back in the day. Well Future was signed to Rocko's A1 Entertainment back in 2010. Future allegedly went behind Rocko's back and cut a side deal with Epic Records which resulted in a huge payout for Future. Now Rocko is wanting what's owed to him. #teamlitty Bobby Brown appeared on ABC's "20/20" last night for an emotional interview regarding Whitney Houston and Bobbi Kristina. Bobby has a book being released next week aptly titled, "Every Little Step". Bobby spoke in detail about his tumultuous relationship with Whitney Houston detailing their drug use over the years. Most of what Bobby spoke about was things that I heard previously from him and Whitney Houston. He did deny spitting on Whitney which she claimed in an interview with Oprah during her "I Look To You" album release. He also accuses Nick Gordon of Bobbi Kristina's death...

Appears on Gucci Mane's mixtape I'm Up .

I was just talking to my friend last night about Ms. Keri Baby aka Keri Hilson. He was asking what happened to "Breaking Point" and he didn't know there was a video for the song. I don't think most people know but I did post the video a few days ago. I haven't heard the new single, "Pretty Girl Rock" yet but I believe it is her first official single from her album, "No Boys Allowed" in stores and online November 30. I'm just waiting to hear her explanation on the title. I actually think "Breaking Point" is a wonderful title but what do I know. Music Biz: Whitney Houston Joins Keep A Child Alive Event!

Check out the video for his newest song! Music Biz: Amerie Talks New Album! During a new interview with British DJ Julie Ann, singer-songwriter Amerie announced that she’s already thinking about what direction she will go in for her next album, and that she hopes to revisit the sound she explored on her poppier, 80’s and new wave-inspired 2007 album Because I Love It. “The next album, because I’m always already thinking about sounds, I definitely want to incorporate that sound [from In Love & War] as well as mixing some of the vibe I had on Because I Love It. Those sounds, arrangements, harmonies and song structure. It’ll be pretty interesting.” {Via Toyaz-World} Amerie’s latest album ‘In Love & War’ is expected to hit UK shores this coming summer and she is looking t...

Hello all! I'm back again with another 'six degrees of..' post and this time I decide to profile Monica. Perhaps she is best known for her stunning duet with Brandy, "The Boy Is Mine" which ironically is the title of Monica's 2nd album. Like her counterpart Brandy, Monica's personal life often overshadows her music, especially in recent years. With her oft-delayed album, "Still Standing" on the horizon, Monica is ready to remind listeners why we first fell in love with her in the first place. I decided to change the format slightly as far as the 'six degrees of...' posts go. Instead of just concentrating on celebs the featured artist is often associated with, I will also include names that may of been recently linked to the featured artist. So for example you will see that the production duo of Stargate is mentioned and is because they are producing on her upcoming album. Brandy There had been rumors or Brandy and Monica disliking each ot...

Video: Rocko - Dis Morning Audio: Trey Songz - Love LockDown Trey has a new mixtape out so this explains for all the remakes etc. I don't like this "Love Lockdown" song from Kanye or Trey. I see Trey has a knack for remaking songs. Sometimes they come off cool, sometimes very cheesy. I think Trey should stop doing this and just concentrate on making music. Besides he's on numerous songs nowadays anyway but I guess this is just part of him keeping hisself out there. Music News: Deborah Cox Back With New Album! Click here for more info!
