New Video: Tamar Braxton feat. Future - "Let Me Know"

It has been awhile and today I wanted to see if I still had it, so I decided to write. A few weeks ago songstress Tamar Braxton dropped her new vocally inclined single "Let Me Know" enlisting Future on the feature end, and since then Tamartians everywhere have been waiting for those visuals. Wait no longer because they have arrived in stunning "She" Fashion. Here are the visuals and new single for Tamar Braxton's new track "Let Me Know". I think Tamar "Her" Braxton slayed this gem to the fullest and she is so excited for the new material and album.

Beyoncé's 2014 MTV Video Music Awards Performance & Video Vanguard Award

  Last night belonged to Beyoncé at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards and she showed us why as the audience and viewers at home waited patiently for Bey to take center stage. Bey had the best performance in VMA history last night with her sixteen minute performance of several songs from her 2013 self-titled album Beyoncé. That performance included tons of action, sultry dance moves, and a tribute to her daughter that showcased personal home video footage on the backdrop screen of her little family. After her performance the songstress was presented the Video Vanguard Award by her husband Jay Z and daughter Blue Ivy. The night was quite emotional for Queen Bey as she was clearly full of tearful happiness as the songstress accepted her speech by saying "I'm so full, thank you. I have nothing to say but that I'm filled with so much gratitude and I just thank God for this moment," she said. "I love y’all so much. Blue Blue, I love you. My beloved, I love you. My fans, I love you. MTV, I love you. Goodnight." The rumors can rest now because this one was one for the books and ages.

New Video: John Legend - "You & I (Nobody In The World)"

John Legend delivers another legendary set of lyrics for his new single "You & I (Nobody In The World)" and the video falls nothing short of legendary either. The new visuals depict the lyrics to perfection as John exemplifies his appreciation and love of beauty in all women, especially his wife Chrissy Teigen.

Drizzy drops a few slick verses over an uptempo beat for "0 to 100" which eventually leads into a slower tempo for "The Catch Up".

Melodic Monday: Kanye West - "Hey Mama" (2008 Grammy Performance)

Kanye gave a touching tribute to his Mom yesterday for Mother's Day and because today is Melodic Monday I am going to give you his 2008 Grammy Performance of his track "Hey Mama". Kanye may have this arrogant toughness about him but make no mistake about it the guy is actually a gentleman with a good heart. The performance is rather emotional with Kanye pouring his heart into the lyrics with a black backdrop, and him as the main focal point.

New Video: Future feat. Kanye West - "I Won"

I posted Future's new Kanye West assisited track "I Won" a few weeks ago when I first heard it, and now I give you the Hype Williams-directed visuals. Even though it is Future's song and it is dope I am stuck on Kanye's verse, it is a Kardashian thing. Future's sophomore album Honest is in stores and on iTunes now!                                                         XO

New Music: Future feat. Kanye West - "I Won"

Future does it again and delivers another banger with his latest track "I Won" enlisting a feature from Kanye. I do not think it was Future's part that got me on this track, but instead it was Kanye's verse that caught my heart, got my attention, and made me want to listen. Future's new album Honest drops April 22nd and is available for pre-order on iTunes NOW!

King Mez: Cuts That Did Not Make The Cut of "LLTK" & Extras

With it being "King Mez Week" and all I have decided to go hard on the promo for the Raleigh, North Carolina kid, and give you plenty of him to build anticipation for his upcoming Long Live The King mixtape release on Thursday.

Take a listen to these two cuts below and some extras from the King himself.

Melodic Monday: Kanye West - "Street Lights"

Have you ever had a moment become more real because of words you hear, or a song that makes you feel every bit of the moment that you are living and breathing? Words can entangle you in a moment they can be so poignant that life becomes more real because of them, the experience is invaluable. I consciously think about how words make a moment and how moments inaugurate words. Although I have heard Kanye's track "Street Lights" a million times because of the love affair I had with his album 808's and Heartbreak, it was not until the other night out of nowhere that I truly derived the meaning of the song. While Kanye has a somewhat familiar relationship with lights and orchestrating the word in songs, he actually relinquishes different annotations of the word in each song. Sometimes there are things that we think are forever and are difficult but we are able to grow out of those things. They are not permanent, they are merely time passers to get us past what we thought may be too hard. We are able to do what we think we could not do when those things seemed too much. Sometimes we get so caught up in the moment that we rarely are able to enjoy the beauty and realness of what it has to offer that time passes us by. Sometimes things are not what we want but they are what we have. If we want something different sometimes we have to go on a repetitive path and pass several "Street Lights" to gain something more, something beyond our expectations. Sometimes the things we have to endure to get to the happy place, to get to the beautiful moments are just not fair. Melodic Monday you have given me Kanye and a few street lights, all the while I have given you my heart. 
Let me know Do I still got time to grow? Things ain't always set in stone That be known let me know Let me...
Seems like street lights glowing Happen to be just like moments passing In front of me So I hopped in the cab and I paid my fare See I know my destination, but I'm just not there All the street lights, glowing  Happen to be just like moments, passing In front of me So I hopped in the cab and I paid my fare See I know my destination, but I'm just not there
In the streets In the streets I'm just not there in the streets I'm just not there Life's just not fair                                                         XO

New Music: Drake - "Draft Day" & "Days In The East"

Just when we think life could not get any better Drake asks us "Would We Like A New Track", and then drops two back to back. Only a day apart the OVO King drops his first track a Boi-1da, Ducko McFli, and Syk Sense- produced Lauryn Hill-sampled cut "Draft Day" just in time for the upcoming NFL Draft Day, and is dedicated to Drake's new friend Johnny Manziel. Drake also gives Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence a shout out in the track insinuating a possible crush. Drizzy dropped his second track "Days In The East" a day later with production from his OVO artist PARTYNEXTDOOR and his go to producer and engineer Noah "40" Shebib. The track samples Rihanna's song "Stay" and is said to reference the time Erykah Badu invited him over for a spot of tea to talk about love. Who's to say it is really about Erykah when clearly as of late his possible rekindled love affair with Rihanna has been in the news. Maybe the track is referencing his love affair with Rih or maybe it is just some of Champagne Papi's thoughts that get people thinking who knows, but one thing I do know is the kid from Toronto has me beyond intrigued.

Melodic Monday: Janelle Monáe feat. Miguel - "PrimeTime"

I am in love with Janelle Monáe's song "PrimeTime" and what a fitting day for someone to be in love with something being that it is Melodic Monday. This track fits the day so perfectly just like the string solo fits the song. The lyrics, vocals, and chemistry that Janelle and Miguel have singing this sing is mind blowing. I wished everyday life could be just like these lyrics and the beat, but if it were then would love really be worth it? The epitome of PrimeTime love has to feel like the guitar solo on this track laced with the violins. The sound of the strings solo will make you feel deliriously happy when listening and putting thought into what you think the song actually means. If you just want to replay the strings solo like I do then just skip to 3:43 and breathe the moment in. Make sure you go cop Janelle Monáe's album The Electric Lady in stores and on iTunes NOW!

Melodic Monday: Jhené Aiko - "The Worst"

Have you ever had "The Worst" feeling ever because of someone you want, like, or whatever the case may very well be? This person may not be everything that you need but they are definitely something that you want. They may not be good enough or treat you well enough, but after all is said and done you still want them. Your patient with them and good enough to them, but they cannot see past their very own insecurities to know that you care and love them more than they know. Funny how you do not need them but you still want them after all the hurt and after being pushed away. Funny how everything changes once they get what they want and nothing stays the same. Funny how "The Worst" parts almost make you want them a lot more. Melodic in some ways that it can make you feel "The Worst", Jhené Aiko's "The Worst". 
I don't need you  I still want you I don't mean to But I, but I love you I don't need you But I want you I don't mean to But I love you
