9/11: 10 Years Later


I want to keep this really short. I'm just acknowledging the 10 year anniversary of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan. I know many of my readers don't know this about me, but I lost my mom that day. She was a manager at a company in one of the buildings. I really wish I would of gotten to see her one last time that day. Although I believe I'd get stronger each year I realized thats something impossible & I will never get over it & it only gets harder each year. I want my mom to know that I love her & everyday I wish she was here with my brothers and I today. All I can do is pray and ask God to let her continue to rest in peace.

This was my moms favorite song:

New Music: "Radio"/ "Can't Get Enough"

People we now have a new song from Cassie, not sure if there is an album to follow. Since we have been waiting for a follow up album since she dropped her debut album back in 2006. She does a really great job at keeping a deal and releasing no album. However this weekend a new single entitled "Radio" from the beautiful and talented Cassie has been released. This song is to appear on Bad Boy's new mixtape The Preview. The song is about Cassie hearing various songs from legendary artist such as Mary J Blige and TLC on the radio warning about the troubles a guy can bring within a relationship. People will be able to get a taste of the kind of music they can expect to hear from the label from this upcoming mixtape. Since Bad Boy was moved from Atlantic Records over to Interscope Records the only albums that have really been released were Janelle Monae's debut album, and Diddy Dirty Money's debut album. None the less it's still good to hear new music from Cassie. I was beginning to think "Official Girl" (my favorite Cassie song) was going to be the last song I heard from Cassie. Hoping to hear more new music and see her in more magazines real soon.


The next new song comes from Roc Nation rapper J Cole. He is preparing to release his highly anticipated debut album Cole World: The Sideline Story. His first single "Workout" has been doing well and the music video was recently released. Now his second single has been leaked. His new single "Can't Get Enough" features Trey Songz, and I must say this song is yet another hit. All I can say is I see platinum in his future really really soon. His debut album comes out September 27th, so you guys make sure you support REAL rap music.
