Whip Appeal is a new song by Frank Ocean. I LOVE it. Since I heard it, I’ve been listening to it nonstop since I heard it. Check it out <3

Malaysian, singer, songwriter Yuna music has caught my attention. I recently heard her single “Live Your Life” and I instantly went to download the track. It says, “Find your light; don’t hide from what you are… and hope for something more”. The whole song goes on with more inspirational words about dreaming and reaching your goals. It is always nice to have songs on your tracklist to bring a lil’ pep to your day; inspiration is always needed.

Russle Simmons has even took notice to the rising star, “an amazing new singer…her music is incredible” when she released her self-titled EP in 2008. Her talent can’t be denied, and that VOICE *shakes head with approval*. I’m just mad that I haven’t heard of her music sooner! She came out like four years ago and I am just hearing about her … I’m a little late. Any older Yuna fans out there?

Miguel released “ART DEALER CHIC Vol. 1″on February 27, 2012. I just got word of it, I have the songs playing on repeat as I am typing this post. There are only three tracks on this EP, but they have found their way to being my new top three songs. haha! Oh, Miguel how do you find a way to constantly amaze me? If you didn’t know already, Miguel writes all of his own music. Like he said on his Twitter– “Every word, every note”. He even painted his own album cover! *jaw drops* Seriously, can we get a round of applause for miguel? The only question now is… when is VOL. 2 coming out!!?

My favorite song on the album in ADORN, and lucky me, he has a lovely music video that goes along with it. Check it out, and like always tell me what you dolls think.
Come on Miguel fans, show a lil’ Love. Have a Vibrant Day!

“PAINT THE WORLD WITH VISUAL LANGUAGE…”

If you aren’t hip to Tt the Artist by now you need to keep reading this post because your missing out! Tedra Wilson (Tt the artist) has done some pretty impressive things thus far. Graduating from The Maryland Institute College Of Art she landed an internship at MTV Networks her Junior year of college! How sweet is that? That’s not all, she also has held down the women at “Show Me What You Got” and “Queen Of The Mic” rap competitions. Tt can definitely be described as multi-talented.

If you look at her name you can get a pretty good picture of what she is all about… ART. I am not just talking about drawing (though she does that too), I am talking about rapping, singing, filming, and designing. The chick does it all! She is representing our generation very well;  check out what Tt has been working on:

MUSIC

Tt the Artist has performed with some big names during her career. Some of these names are Oj Da Juice Man, Rich Boy, Cali Swag District, Trina, Teyana Taylor, Yo Gotti, Wale, and Lyfe Jennings.

Tt’s music will have your hands high, heads bobbin’, and hips shaking while you’re partying. She is definitely in her own lane, nothing mainstream, just the way we like it. You may not hear her on your local radio station, but you can definitely catch her tracks being played around Baltimore city’s club scene. Trust me when I say her music is hot! But you don’t have to take my word for it—Check it out yourself.

“As an artist ,Tt looks forward to establishing a place in the music industry. she aims to offer social commentary on the challenges of a female artist through her art. She hopes to someday fulfill her responsibility as an artist by reaching out and making a difference in the through all media outlets.”

ART

Tt’s  specialties in artwork are hand drawn mix-media and computer graphics. She also does a lot of work in video; such as, documentaries, music videos and directing. If that isn’t enough, Tt the Artist also puts her artistic skills to the test through her T-shirt line called CreativeMindXCULTURE (CMXC). Ladies, you should really consider picking up her “Women Power” or “Artist” T’s; they retail at $20.00.

She also gives back! Tt runs her own creative orgainization called ARTISTLAND. This organization provides resources and services for creatives.

Her artwork is just as sick as her music. I put together a few of her pieces, but if you want to view more you can check it out Here.

Change Your Mind- Yufi Zewdu ft. Chill Moody

This song is sooo cute! I haven’t heard a light-hearted song like this in a while. This Philly boy, Yufi Zewdu, is someone you need to keep your eyes on. This track was produced by Stereo Symphony and will be is from his upcoming mixtape ‘Songs About H.E.R.’. I cannot wait to see what he put together on his MT. Don’t worry dolls, I will post more about his upcoming music when I get more information.

If you’re really feeling the song check out the music video.

I was wondering when we were going to finally hear some new music from her. I thought for sure right after she changed her image by shaving half of her head we were going to hear a hit single surface. Instead, we have been seeing Cassie all around town: In Wiz Khalifa’s “Roll Up” music video, the Calvin Klein campaign, Carol’s Daughter’s ad, and hanging with Nicki. She has building up the anticipation like crazy, but I am glad that she is finally back!

Her look isn’t the only thing thats been re-touched, her sound has changed too since her “Me & You” days. This might just be the ‘grown up’ Cassie, but who knows the real reason behind the change. I can say one thing hasn’t changed– her sex appeal. She is still talking about the boys! But isn’t that why we Love her?

I still listen to Cassie’s old music to this day; it seems to never get old. I have a feeling she is going to impress me with her newer songs though… well, at leat I hope. I have been waiting oh so long; I can’t wait to hear more! What do you guys think about the new Cassie. Yay or Nay?

This is one of Casey’s older tracks, but I still Love it. Plus, I’m sure some of you dolls haven’t heard it yet, so why not expose you to the wonderful jams created by Veggies himself? Anyways, take a listen and tell me what you think.

That’s right! Santigold is back with her new music video “Disperate Youth”. We have been waiting since 2008, but it was definitely worth it. She seems like she’s here to stay since her album  Master of My Make-Believe will be out this Spring. What you think about the new video?

Lola Monroe has signed to Taylor Gang Entertainment! I remember listening to her a year ago when she was collaborating with artist like Los, Trina, and Lil’ Boosie; she is definitely taking on the transition of Model to Female Rapper very well. Under Wiz Khalifa’s wing, I wonder what she will produce in the future. I will be keeping an eye out.
