Does She Have NEXT? Check Out Azealia Banks Album Cover For 1991

05/18/2012  |  No Comments

05/18/2012 Azealia Banks has been building up a buzz for herself in a rather controversy way. She popped off about T.I. and his up and coming artist Iggy Azalea, who is pretty hot in my book. She then went after Lil Kim, but kim said she never spoke to the chick and it must be in new female rap artists contracts to go at the Queen. Anyway if you aren’t familiar with her music click here to check it out. She has a unique sound, like a club kid sound. Me personally I'm not feeling this Kool Moe Dee inspired cover. What about YOU? more

NEW GIRL GROUP ALERT: The Yes Ma'ams

NEW GIRL GROUP ALERT: The Yes Ma’ams

05/16/2012  |  No Comments

05/16/2012 Meet The Yes Ma'ams a trio of fly females by the names of Privacy, Secret and Slander. I came across this group on twitter when a guy I follow requested to know who these hot girls were. Their look off bat get's a YES MA'AM from me; Fun, Flirty, Fly mixed with Sexiness = DOPETASTIC!!! As I researched more on the group I learned that they have been grinding since last year and released a Mixtape back in April of this year titled "Taste Test". After listening to the mixtape I’ve come to the conclusion that 1) they are totally inspired by vanity 6 and 2) Prince must be their grandfather because they have that lusty vocal thing going on heavy. I believe if they link up with the right writers i.e The Dream, Keri Hilson and or Ne-yo just to name a few, they really have a chance at taking the industry by storm. Check out their mixtape here and tell me if you think their sound is a NO Ma’am or a YES Ma'am. P.s Current Affair, Light Up The Night and Only If I Say So are my personal favs. Good Luck Ladies. more
