Fresh Friday From the Street Music Swag

FRESH FRIDAY: Lights Down Low

Alright alright alright. I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t think Waka Flocka Flame is a real musician. He is, however, a real entertainer. So I ain’t gonna hate on someone who is out getting his. Bei Major has also blown up recently with his hit single “Trouble”, and since it’s Fresh Friday, you know “Lights Down Low” is a club BANGAH! Nothing special with the lyrics, but lace the track with dope beats and Bei’s smooth voice and you have a song that will get me in trouble for dancing to while at work. It might also be interesting to know that Bei Maejor graduated from Michigan-Ann Arbor, worked with Ne-yo in Atlanta, and was a driving force behind the production of Trey Songz and Monica’s albums, Passion, Pain & Pleasure and New Life, respectively. The dude is no slouch, and you gotta respect his multitude of talents.

Have a Fresh Friday….WAKA!

Dance Music Swag Track Tuesday Video

Track Tuesday: Tonight (Best You Ever Had)

If you only need one reason to go see Think Like a Man, go for Kevin Hart – the man is the funniest and hardest working comedian in the game! If you need more motivation, go for Meagan Good o_O. One thing you will notice though (minor spoiler alert!) is that everytime something really cheesy and romantic happens, the same dope track plays in the background. So today’s Track Tuesday not only gives you a new tune to jam to, but also solves that riddle for you if you saw the film but couldn’t find the song.

Of course John Legend would the featured track artist. His joint “Tonight” starts off with softly, and then the bass DROPS. And so do the panties, because the beats + John crooning definitely make this a set-the-mood song, albeit one that makes me run montage-style down Hollywood Boulevard with the wind blowing in my face, sleek suit jacket flying open, before taking off and flying to some tropical island that also conveniently has a really sleek club where the women are beautiful and the drinks are good and John Legend happens to be playing there that night and guesswhatsongheopenswithyesitsTONIGHT!

YAY

Ahem. So um yeah, definitely feeling it.
