http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anemdasc_EY Here is one of my favorite songs from Raphael Saadiq. If you never heard the song before, even though it was released as a single, it was featured only on the obscure “P.J.’s Soundtrack.” The way these two...

“Aint Never” is a song by Outsiderz 4 Life off of their unreleased self titled debut album from 2000. The group was signed to Blackground Records and Aaliyah was so impressed with the group that she requested to do this collaboration. “Not...

Here is a new song by Mary J. Blige that is scheduled to be on her upcoming album “Stronger With Each Tear.” This mid tempo jam produced by the Runners is decent, but I don’t see it being a single or anything. One of the major things that...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fa6APF_LNo With the release of her new album in less than two weeks, I’m almost tempted to have a classic Mary J song each day until then; and it would be very easy to do so. Although “I Love You” was a big hit on...
