Style & Vibes

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.

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.

This is one of my favorite songs right now! Travie McCoy featuring Bruno Mars (also on the hook of BoB’s “Nothing on You“) expresses the thrill and aspirations of being a billionaire. This song covers so many musical genres (reggae, r&b, hip hop etc.) and I love the lyrics, they’re fun an playful…c’mon who doesn’t want to be a billionaire?

Super excited for today’s album release (both I’ll be downloading from iTunes, please support good music). The highly anticipated Distant Relatives from Nas an Damian Marley. I’ve been ignoring all the pre-leaks so that I can enjoy the full album in its entirety.

Janelle Monae’s The Arch Android also drop, I love her eclectic sound and “Tightrope” is one of my favorite songs right now, so I’m excited to hear more material from her this time around.

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.
