[MP3] Matt Patterson – Let Em Talk (prod. by KQuick)

Been meaning to post this one for weeks. Solid track. Maybe I’m rusty but, to my ears, this sounds like something that could be a hit if the stars aligned right.

[MP3] Justin Bieber – You Want Me

This ‘unfinished’ (?) demo leaked right after The Grammy apparently. Maybe it’s just me but this soulful club track is better than recent records by Usher, Justin Timberlake and Chris Brown, IMHO. Or maybe I’m jumping out the window crazy saying that??

[MP3] Chris Brown – Home

Not sure how I feel about this one yet. Y’all? Sociological papers could be written on art vs. life: the oeuvre of Chris Brown, post-the Rihanna incident, that’s for sure!

[MP3] Bama Starz – 5 Deep

THIS RECORD IS F-CKING CRAZY!!!!!

If you agree (and you should if you have any kind of real taste), then check out their Bama Starz presents Blackz & Bluntz mixtape HERE.
