Throwback Jam of the Week: "Happy"-Ashanti

Published August 18, 2016 by BrittanyShawnte

It’s Throwback Thursday, and we’re back with another great jam from back in the day!



When Ashanti first came out, there’s no denying that she had the hits, especially from her debut, self-titled album. One of those hits included “Happy,” with a short intro from Ja Rule. Murder Inc. (or The Inc. now) definitely brought the jams in the early 2000s, including this one…songs that we still pull out of the bag every now and then!

MUSIC VIDEO: "Crazy"-Felixx

Published August 12, 2016 by BrittanyShawnte

Last year, we featured rising R&B singer Felixx of Loud N Klear Entertainment on the site. Now, the artist is back, giving us a new music video for his track, “Crazy!” 

On the song, a hit single from his debut self-titled EP, Felixx sings of being in an unhappy relationship. At first, everything was all good, and now it’s going all downhill for him and his lady. “It’s not working. This is weighing me down. Plus, you stressing me out,” he sings.

Check out the video below!

Throwback Jam of the Week: "It’s Gonna Be Me"-‘N Sync

Published August 11, 2016 by BrittanyShawnte

It’s Throwback Thursday, and we’re back with another great jam from back in the day!


‘N Sync was one of the top boy bands ever, gaining massive success during their time as a group. All have since gone on to be successful in their own right as individuals…some more than others (*cough* Justin). And after their mini reunion performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, I’m not totally counting out a small reunion concert one day! For now, let’s take it back to their time together with this throwback jam, “It’s Gonna Be Me!” 
Going back to their No Strings Attached, puppet days, this video shows the guys as dolls in a toy store, jumping, singing, and dancing, all in hopes to catch the attention of a special girl! This song and video was so fun to sing and dance along to, and I still love it to this very day.

MUSIC VIDEO: "Gangsta"-Kehlani

Published August 9, 2016 by BrittanyShawnte

Kehlani has released her latest video for “Gangsta,” which is featured on the Suicide Squad soundtrack! 

Channeling Harley Quinn, Kehlani looks bad ass in the visual, and her vocals are chilling. Surrounded by broken glass, Kehlani sings on the hook,“I need a gangsta to love me better than all the others do.” The video also features clips from the movie as well.

Check it out below!



It’s really good to see Kehlani back at music, and I can’t wait to hear more!

What do you think of the “Gangsta” video?

It’s Throwback Thursday, and we’re back with another great jam from back in the day!


Brandy has been in the game for over 20 years now, killing it since the 90s! Her music catalog hosts some great hits, including this throwback for today. “Sittin’ Up in My Room” was featured on the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack (the classic movie starred the late Whitney Houston, Angela Bassett, Loretta Devine, and Lela Rochon), and was definitely a hit for the singer!

Throwback Jam of the Week: "Feel So Good"-Razah

Published July 28, 2016 by BrittanyShawnte

It’s Throwback Thursday! I wanted to start sharing some of my favorite random throwback jams that I used to love back in the day…so be on the lookout for those on Thursdays!

This song randomly popped in my head this week. Back around 2004, R&B singer Razah released this jam, “Feel So Good,” inspired by Teddy Pendergrass‘ classic hit, “When Somebody Loves You Back.” Razah has released a bunch of music since then, but this was the standout track for me! It was smooth and fun to dance to, and he made it his own with the lyrics.

Check out the video below!


Love this song!

Rapper B. Justice has released his visual for track “Fall Back Game” featuring Jacob Latimore!
