R&B Fridays: Episode 64

Ajay — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 00:22:34 +0000

Lots of material in this episode, and plenty has already been released throughout the week.

To recap: Trey Songz’s latest visuals, Khalil’s debut visuals, the official single from the upcoming Foreign Exchange album, Cee-Lo’s anticipated F*** You video, a fantastic cover of Outkast’s Prototype, and finally a new Trey Songz and Drake collaboration.

Oddly, there are some [...]

Caspa and Mr. Hudson-Love Never Dies Video

Ajay — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 00:33:00 +0000

Originally let loose a couple of weeks ago, Mr Hudson’s first foray (to my knowledge) in the dubstep world gets some video treatment to boost its popularity. If it’s not already, I expect this song to blow up pretty big so be sure to check this out.

Audio is here.

R&B Fridays: Episode 60

Ajay — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 13:22:40 +0000

I REALLY need to remember to do these. I prepare them all week, setting up playlists and filtering songs, but come Friday I end up being massively distracted and completely forget all my hard work.

You’ll forgive me after the click though, of that I’m sure. I’ve made sure all the big hitters are involved in [...]

Mr Hudson-Young Forever, Solo Version

Ajay — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 22:10:54 +0000

I know the Jay-Z & Mr Hudson version had its fans (I’m not one of them as shown in that link), and I expect that was more to do with Hudson than Mr. Carter. This will come as a nice treat for you guys, as you can grab the original solo version that was intended [...]

Anyone But Him Single Version

Ajay — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:36:27 +0000

I made no secret of not particularly enjoying the original version of this. I must say that this version is much improved on first listen, which is just as well for a single choice. I’m also reliably informed that the UK release of this single will not actually feature ‘Ye, but will have a UK [...]

Ajay-182′s Best of ’09

Ajay — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 23:59:03 +0000

In what can best be described as a fitting coincidence given the retrospective nature of this particular post, 2009 was very much a year of hindsight. I rediscovered artists I’d neglected, I discovered artists who I’d simply ignored, but most importantly I began to see the fundamental flaw in my appreciation of music (especially hip-hop) [...]

Young Forever Video

Ajay — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 16:17:21 +0000

Why is this song called Young Forever, when the chorus clearly goes Forever Young?

I was never really completely sold on this track and think that it’s quite overhyped (like most of The Blueprint 3…), but I know it has it’s fans so this one is for you.
