Saigon gives us some more visuals from The Greatest Story Never Told in the form of the uplifting Clap with Faith Evans. Not much more I can say about this track than what Liam said back in January when we first heard the audio. Very inspirational and feel-good with Faith doing her thing on the chorus. Visually, nothing ground-breaking, yet much needed for this tidy effort which in my opinion should have been the first single. Saigon is mad underrated. Swag that audio from here.
Sai joins forces with Faith Evans and Just Blaze, to give us this uplifting piece of hip-hop that’s quite simply fantastic. Faith Evans’ soulful vocals are perfect alongside Saigon’s smooth flow, whilst Just Blaze’s production on this is nothing short of awesome, adding an old-school gospel vibe. Feel good hip-hop at it’s best. Well, there’s no shortage of things to talk about on this one. First off, there are plenty of cameos: on first watch, I picked up Rick Ross, Dawn Richard, Faith Evans, JoJo, Polow Da Don and Lloyd. Always nice to see lots of artists coming together. Secondly, I’m not sure Keri has done a video/song as ‘promiscuous’ as this one: there’s no lack of skin and, er, gyrating/thrusting. I didn’t quite pick up on it when the audio was released, but the lyrics are pretty ‘sexually honest’ too, and it’s undoubtedly her riskiest effort to date. Personally, I don’t think she needed to go down this route, but there we are. The final point would be that despite the heavy sexual emphasis, there is actually some semblance of a story going on, which is respectable. It’s a shame (or not, if I’m honest) that it’s lost amidst a sea of smut. Audio is here.
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 huge hip-hop names making appearances in this episode. Click on to see what they’re doing hanging around these parts, and what everyone else is up to. CNN put out by far the best visuals yet for their recently released War Report 2; now putting the camera spotlight on their joint with Faith Evans. It seems that the Queensbridge duo are more intent on getting their acting game across here than on the actual track itself! Nevertheless, a great starring role from Nore and even Joell Ortiz himself gets a silent cameo which he still manages to be funny in! Audio for this here.
You’ll forgive me after the click though, of that I’m sure. I’ve made sure all the big hitters are involved in this milestone episode. Don’t believe me? Prepare to look (even more) like a fool.
As per recent routines, I’d recommend checking over the R&B posts from the week gone by: Dirty Money want your love, Trey Songz is already taken, Lloyd has dropped 3 guest features this week, and Ciara recruited Andre 3000 for a Ride remix. Next stop of the tour: click below. |
