50 Cent will release his long awaited album Street King Immortal on November 13. The album features the first single New Day featuring Alicia Keys & Dr. Dre. 50 Cent must plan to release a couple of singles and more mixtapes prior to his album's release. November is still some time away but then again it will be here in no time. Wondering what Rihanna's next album will sound like? Well according to producer Sean Garrett(worked with Beyonce) there will be a "mish-mash of genres". In addition to Sean Garrett; David Guetta is involved in the project as well. When will we hear this new music? Don't be surprised if its by year's end. We all know Rihanna typically drops an album every year. 

With J-Lo and Steven Tyler abandoning their seats as judges at American Idol a new judge has stepped forward. Mariah Carey is now in the running to replace her used to be rival J-LO. No word on who will replace Steven Tyler. This may be exactly what Mariah needs to keep her career afloat now that its particularly in danger or anything. Like J-LO though she can use this vehicle for more promotion for herself when launching her new album and other products. Producer Sean Garrett recently did an interview(which I didn't watch by the way). I can't really stomach him. He mentioned a song Sick by Brandy which may be a single in the future. Several others are claiming the song is her next single but only time will tell. Sean Garrett likes to brag about his upcoming productions with the likes of all the artists he works with. Sometimes he speaks outta turn and some of the songs he brags about end up being lackluster ones. The release date for Brandy's new album Two Eleven ...

Sean Garrett is making another attempt at a solo career and we all will have to see how this turns out. The producer is signed to Roc Nation/Columbia Records which will release his album this summer. Sean Garrett's first album didn't see a release here in the states even though he had a hit single with "Grippin" featuring Ludacris. I do like "Feel Love" and the video is okay I guess. ---------------- Now playing: THE_DRAMATICS__treat_me_right__1982_mp3ify-dot-com via FoxyTunes

Sean Garrett is always bragging about his work with Beyonce and his work with others for that matter; with good reason of course. I do remember there being a thing about Beyonce being upset about Sean talking too much to the press and he does clarify that in here. Basically he went from talking about his own solo career to discussing Beyonce and wasn't really asked about it. ---------------- Now playing: Sam Sparro - 21st Century Life via FoxyTunes

We all know Sean Garrett right? He is the producer behind songs such as Nicki Minaj's "Massive Attack". Okay! That isn't his biggest hit but he's produced for Beyonce. Sean Garrett is rumored to be signing to Jay-Z's Roc Nation! He has released one album, "Turbo 919" but the album wasn't released here in the states. Now he is prepping another album which will be released through Roc Nation/Columbia Records. Personally I think its a waste of time signing Sean Garrett to another record deal. He's really just good for producing singles and as far as his solo work; he might be good for a few more singles but I don't see it happening. Sorry! I just read that Keyshia Cole's new album will be in stores on December 14. As far as I know the album is titled, "Keyshia". The album's first single "I Ain't Thru" features Nicki Minaj. Can't go wrong there right? For me Nicki makes the song other than that its pretty l...

Sean Garrett is not only a producer. He is a singer and songwriter. He holds the distinction for having 15 #1 hits on the Billboard Singles Charts. Over the years he has produced some of the hottest R&B/Hip-Hop songs around. Sean Garrett was born in Atlanta, Georgia and his real name is Garrett Hamler. He released a solo debut album but the album wasn't released here in the states. Below you can check out just a fraction of the hits Sean Garrett has been involved in. Yeah, Usher feat.

Sean Garrett plays a high school student infatuated with the new girl at school. It's there that he romanticizes about the luxuries and good times he's willing to provide for her; hence the title; "Get It All". Nicki Minaj makes her cameo as a girl that has all the guys in the school sweating her. Enjoy! "Get It All" didn't exactly set the charts on fire. I am a little surprised that the song got the video treatment. Maybe this is a ploy to reignite the song now that it has an accompanying video.

Music Biz: Sean Garret Working With Whitney Houston On New Album! As the primary songwriter of megahits such as Usher's "Yeah!," Chris Brown's "Run It!," Ciara’s "Goodies," and, most recently, Mario’s "Break Up," hip-hop producer Sean Garrett is one of the decade’s guiding forces in music, penning 15 number one hits. (He’s rumored to be working on an album with Whitney Houston. Let’s hope he can pass along some of that Billboard karma to that diva train wreck.) But unlike other writas-ternt-sangas such as Ne-Yo and The-Dream, Garrett hasn’t found the same success behind the mike as he has behind the pen. His debut album, Turbo 919, was a mere blip on the pop radar; nonetheless, Garrett is pushing ahead with new solo material. His upcoming single, the Tyga and Gucci Mane collaboration "She Geeked," is already one of the hotter songs of the summer. http://www.miaminewtimes.com/2010-06-17 ... b-the-mike ----------------...

Gucci Mane has become the go-to rapper for a hit[single]. Most importantly he has helped a few R&B artists earn street cred. Over the last year or so, Gucci Mane's presence has grown thanks largely in part to his slew of mixtapes. It just goes to show that mixtapes really do serve a purpose and help artists develop a buzz of sorts. Check out this list of songs that Gucci Mane has stumbled upon in recent months. Obsessed(Remix), Mariah Carey featuring Gucci Mane Unlike "Fantasy" featuring ODB, Gucci Mane doesn't really add much to this song except for [more] street cred for Mariah. Break Up, Mario featuring Gucci Mane & Sean Garrett This song took awhile before it finally took off but you can definitely contribute some of its success to Gucci.

Mario has radio on fire with his "Break Up" single featuring Gucci Mane and Sean Garrett. Now Mario's new album, "D.N.A." will be released on September 29 after numerous pushbacks. A lot of songs from Mario has leaked online in recent weeks. I haven't heard a lot of them but I'm guessing a lot of these songs will be featured on the new album. Unfortunately for Mario, he faced a similar fate with his last album, "Go", and didn't get a chance to experience the success he could of had, had the whole album and its song leaked out nearly a year before the album was finally released. Music Biz: LeToya Unhappy With Management, Label! Singer/actress LeToya has reportedly switched her management to MBK management with Jeff Robinson, who is the long time manager of R&B superstar Alicia Keys. The singer actually inked the deal a few weeks before her sophomore album "Lady Love" dropped, but the news has only been made official now after L...

I really don't know what to say about this but I don't have anything good to say. Like a lot of other bloggers, I don't like to get notoriety by bashing artists. If I don't like something, I don't like it and I keep it moving. Mario's new album, "D.N.A." will be in stores September 29.

Mario, Madonna, and Amerie will all release new albums on September 29. Mario's "D.N.A." formerly titled, "And Then There Was Me" contains the hit single, "Break Up" featuring Gucci Mane & Sean Garrett. Madonna will release her second greatest hits album, "Celebration". I forget the name of her first single. Crazy right? Amerie will release her Def Jam debut, "In Love & War". The album had been pushed back a few times. First single, "Why R U" stalled somewhat on the R&B charts but is now climbing and new single, "Heard Em All" recently leaked online.

Yet another Nicki Minaj interview. Like I've said before, if you seen one Nicki interview you have truly seen them all. You have to respect her hustle though. ---------------- Now playing: Mario ft Gucci Mane & Sean Garrett - Break Up via FoxyTunes

The song is currently #11 on the R&B charts and is looking to break into the top 10 next week. The song is indeed hot and it is growing on me. At first I didn't like it.

This is and was Mario's biggest hit thus far peaking at #1 on the Hot 100. It is from his platinum album, "Turning Point". I don't know a person who didn't like this song even my mother likes it. I was skimming through YouTube looking for another Mario song and I came across this unforgettable gem. Check it out!
