Vibes: New Music

Miss Mikelah — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 16:49:32 +0000

New tunes are rolling out like crazy! Here are a few new Danchall and Hip-Hop tunes from Konshens, Busta Rhymes, Kanye West and Pitbull.

Singer Konshen delivers a mixtape entitled The Realest Mixtape presented by NYC DJ Kevin Crown.

Busta Rhymes released this via his twitter, a new single feat. Gyptian & Mary J. Blige “Anything You Want”. It’s not phenomenal, but I think it will grow on me the more I listen to it.

Kanye West twitter rants are hilarious ! He’s even in talks of releasing a new song every week , guess he’s trying to catch up to Sizzla, Kartel and Beenie Man (we’ll see if they good songs everyweek) “Monster” is already on the radio and it features Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj and Bon Iver (I had no idea who Bon Iver was)

Miami native continues for more of a Pop feel with “Hey Baby” feating T-Pain

Usher, Ele & Chris Brown at Reggae Sumfest 2010

Miss Mikelah — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 16:29:47 +0000

There was a lot of twitter excitement over Reggae Sumfest 2010 performances this year. Vybz Kartel showed up in a jail suit, Bounty Killer was honored and Beenie Man reunited on stage with his wife D’Angel. I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t find some better video footage online of Sumfest 2010, but here are a few that were audible. Chris Brown was a pair of Clarks away from looking like a real Yardie when he took the stage with Elephant Man and Usher for a mini dance segment. I love that Usher and Chris both embraced a few dances (Gully Creepa, Sweep etc. ) Peep the dance off below.

Chris Brown’s solo performance.

Vybz Kartel was released from jail and headed straight to Sumfest.

Vibin’ On Cosa Nostra Riddim

Miss Mikelah — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 04:37:54 +0000

Ward 21 released the Cosa Nostra Riddim earlier this year (Yeah I’m sure I’m pretty late on it, but there’s just too much new music to keep up with these days, quantity is taking the lead over quality these days). But I’m really feelin’ this riddim. Representing for the female DJ’s is, my favorite on the riddim is Timberlee’s “General”. Keep up with Ward 21 and the rest of the Bada Bada crew on the blog.

S&V Video Round Up

Miss Mikelah — Fri, 14 May 2010 04:22:11 +0000

Drake’s “Find Your Love” premiered on radio just a few weeks after, but now we know what he was doing in Jamaica. Mavado makes a cameo as “the badman”. Pretty sure you can figure how it ends.

Gyptian is steady climbing up the Billboard charts with “Hold Yuh”. Nothing special about the video, but love the song none the less.

Alicia Keys delivers a great video concept with “Unthinkable” featuring Chad Michael Murray as her love interest. I love that the message of interracial relationships crossing various time periods.

Diddy & ‘em Dirty Money release a video for “Hello, Goodmorning”, but it’s a huge yawn.
