R&B Fridays: Episode 124


This week’s episode features some true luminaries of the R&B game, including the emergence of previously-unreleased Nate Dogg material, the first such release since his unfortunate passing earlier this year.

Two posts to catch up on from the week gone by, with the star-studded video for Ne-Yo’s latest single being released, whilst The-Dream supplied visuals of his own for his collaboration with Big Sean from the 1977 album.

R&B Fridays: Episode 112


Running a little late than usual this week, but it’s here and that’s what counts. An interesting lineup once again this week, with the old-school, the current game, and newcomers all represented in this diverse edition.

Three posts to recap on from the week gone by: Yasmin offered a preview of her addictive, 90s-inspired new single, Chris Brown released a brand new 21-track mixtape, and finally a remix of Estelle’s most recent single.

Click below for this week’s tasty instalment.

R&B Fridays: Episode 83


To me, the early hours of ‘Saturday’ count as Friday, so welcome to the first on-time R&B Friday in a few weeks!

Not a great deal to recap on this week, with the only notables being another official remix to Lloyd’s Lay It Down, and an all-British collaboration from Alesha Dixon and Jay Sean. However, it’s more than made up for with this week’s episode: with almost 20 tracks from the likes of Trey Songz, Pitbull and many more, there’s lots to enjoy and keep you going until next week.

Want some? Come get some.

Red Cafe and Tyrese-Only One


I’m sure many visitors will have been reeled in by the artists themselves, but for me the beat is the star of this one as it’s as good a hip-hop beat as I’ve heard recently.

It’s in that hallowed middle ground of being one for the hip-hop heads and also being accessible to the mainstream, though much like Cafe’s current standing as a rapper it will probably appeal slightly more to the mid-range hip-hop fans. Tyrese comes through with a good hook too. Don’t miss this.

R&B Fridays: Episode 63


Lots of great stuff this week, swelling it up to delicious proportions. Before you slam your face into the meal, get accquainted with these appetisers: Dirty Money and Drake collaborate, the announcement of Bruno Mars’ album, lots from newcomer Justin Michael, Usher’s newest video, Sean Garrett’s Inkwell mixtape, the video/audio for 3OH!3′s latest single, Cee-Lo’s amazing new song, and the final version of a Drake reference track.

Plenty of stuff there, and plenty of stuff below. This has to go down as one of the strongest R&B Fridays in recent memory too, there’s nothing I wouldn’t recommend from this week’s batch. Entrance below.

R&B Fridays: Episode 53


Consistency is the key, and like last week there are 18 tracks for you to check out. Pretty much full of names you should be familiar with by now,  giving everything a go this week is made a lot easier in that respect.

Savour these episodes-next week could be my last R&B Friday for a few weeks as I’m going away. What/who will substitute for them you ask? Wait and see. Still one more to go after this one though!

R&B Fridays: Episode 41


50 tracks. I had to plough through 50 tracks this week! Expect a part 2 post in the next few days as a result.

The crazy thing is that pretty much all of the tracks are from really big name artists, which makes this episode (and the sequel) pretty stacked at 22 tracks each (5/6 of the tracks were poor, hence a 44 total!).

Lloyd, Keri, Leona, R-Les, and many more are all waiting for you after the click. There’s some real quality in here (especially from Johnta and Lloyd) and this is possibly the best episode ever, so be sure to check this one out whether you’re a new fan or a regular.

Various Collaborations, Lazily Presented


I’m feeling a bit lazy, and the football (soccer) will have started by the time I’ve published this, so here’s some stuff I’ve got from the last couple of days. 4 very diverse tracks though, grab ‘em. More coming later.

Lil’ Jon-Give It All You Got ft. Kee and Tinchy Stryder (early version here)

Murs and 9th Wonder-3:16 pt. 2 (from upcoming joint album)

Jay Rock-Say I Won’t Go ft. Tyrese

Killer Mike-Still My N**** ft. Ludacris and Game

DMX


Earl Simmons will always be one of my most favourite rappers ever, his first 5 albums went straight to #1 in the States, which considering how hardcore his music is – was a phenomenal feat. For certain reasons, his career went from bad to worse though but it’s great that he seems to be concentrating on music again.

Grab his new track below which features Tyrese.

Tyrese-jr14
New/unreleased tracks this week from Usher, Lloyd, Tyrese and many more to keep you going. Before you scurry off to click through, there have been a couple of tracks dropped this week that were more than capable of headlining today’s episode, but I chose to release them earlier. Head here, this way, that way, and finally here to see which stuff I’m talking about.

Once you’ve done that, come back here, and continue your R&B adventures with more quality music. Deal?

My bad, things got a bit out of schedule yesterday and I didn’t get time to put this up. Ah well, it’s here now. Usher and R. Kelly headline this episode, and with Ne-Yo, Alicia Keys, Jason Derulo and more following up, you know this a good episode. Big names and big tracks after the click.

No matter what anyone says, Kels’ is still one of the best voices in R&B. The picture here is the artwork for his upcoming untitled album.

The tracklist can be found after the click, as can the video for the lead single from the album, Number One featuring Keri Hilson. It’s a good track from Robert, and Keri also adds a lot to it.
