Lauryn Hill has one of the best voices of all time hands down. Hill’s sound is unique and stands out above a lot of others. This new cover that was released of Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good” makes me want a new project from her so bad. As quiet as it’s kept… I thought Lauryn lost […]

My all-time favorite song off of Big Sean’s Dark Sky Paradise is “One Man Can Change The World.” It’s dope to me win rappers let down their guard to talk about what’s at the core of their hearts. It get’s boring if all we hear you rap about is violence, drugs, and what you’re going […]

I spent the weekend in Vegas with G-Man to watch the Broner v. Porter fight at NBC’s Premier Boxing Champions. We stayed at the MGM Grand, but when we weren’t hard at work… we were taking in the city lights and the 112 degree weather! Yes, I said 112 degrees! LOL SMH Underneath all of the heat, […]

I chatted with Tamar Braxton about a lot of different things on Monday. She gave me the details about her new album “Calling All Lovers,” advice about how to gamble in Vegas and a reason to watch Family Feud this Sunday (June 21, 2015) Tamar and her sisters are competing against Anthony Anderson’s family in […]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Shun Ward has a voice of gold that I wish I could buy from him. This man puts so much soul and power into the songs that he sings. Ward shines on every record I’ve heard him featured on…and now it’s dope to see him shining on […]

XoOnTheBeat is a popular Producer/DJ/Artist out of the H who has gained notoriety after consistently putting together smashers for a variety of artists around the city. Let’s just put it like this, if you’re from Houston and haven’t worked with XO yet… you probably have some more work to do (with the exception of Beyonce […]

Tamar Braxton has slowly but surely become a name that is on the tips of a lot of people’s tongues. She’s a gorgeous, grammy-nominated singer, reality tv star and fashion designer with personality for days! She joined me for Late Night Hype [11pm-2am] to give me details about her new album “Calling All Lovers” that […]

I love Tamar Braxton’s over-the-top, energetic personality and I usually enjoy her singles as well, but I don’t know if I’m feeling this new one. “If I Don’t Have You” is a summer ballad that I don’t think is as strong as “Let Me Know [feat. Future]. The new album “Calling All Lovers” will be […]

I’ve been a big fan of Scotty since my days at UH and would play his records during my “Hustle Hard Houston” internet radio show. Since I got put on to him back in 2012, Scotty has consistently proved that he is a beast at what he does. I think if had a bigger platform, […]

I had the opportunity to meet Port Arthur’s own Wash earlier this year and he was such a pleasure to talk to. His energy and conversation brought so much light to the room. It’s dope to see a young artist who’s talented as all get out and has the personality to back it up. Listen […]

\Wendy Raquel Robinson has charmed us and made us crack up with laughter in a lot of the roles she plays. It looks like she’s bringing that same energy to Disney’s Original Movie: Descendants on July 31, 2015. Robinson is taking on the part of Cruella De Vil and one of my favorite Broadway actresses […]

JohnyyP. is an amazing artist and performer. Often times, he sends me music for me to rate and I’ll be completely honest with him on whether I think it’s hot or not. In the past year, I thought JP was having a dry spell; he was hitting me with songs that didn’t spark emotion from […]
