Less than 24 hours after the death of Michael Jackson, a song in his honor was recorded by an all-star lineup led by The Game and had made its world premiere on a radio station in Los Angeles. After learning of MJ’s passing Thursday night, Game got some of his famous friends – including Diddy, Chris Brown, Polow Da Don, Mario Winans, Usher and Boyz II Men – to help record a song giving thanks and reflecting on the King of Pop. Listen here: Better On The

Brandy & Ne-Yo - Too Little Too Late (full) - listen Brandy is already working on her sixth studio album, and it seems as though tracks and demos for the R&B sensation haven’t been on lock! Brandy and Ne-Yo material is leaking left and right. I love Brandy’s vocal arrangements and delivery - her voice runs like water to me, but for some reason, I am just not fond of hearing Ne-Yo with her. He doesn’t match her intensity at all to me, but the song isn’t half bad. Mya feat. Bun B.
