during the late 80’s and early 90’s cynthia emerged as the reigning queens of freestyle/latin hip hop music with hits garnering billboard chart action. born and raised in spanish harlem, she sought inspiration from dance music legends donna summer and france joli. with guidance of a good friend in the music industry "sa-fire", cynthia auditioned for several producers and enventually signed a recording contract with micmac records in 1988. the success of her first single "change on me" lead to a full length album that included "endless nights" and "thief of hearts". in a short time cynthia had established herself as one of freestyle's biggest and brightest stars. cynthia kept the momentum going with her sophmore album cynthia II. the album included the smash freestyle classic "dreamboy/dreamgirl". in 1992 cynthia released one of the most slammin' freestyle tracks of all time, "love me tonight". in 1994 cynthia signed to tommy boy records and released the dance hit "how i love him" featuring k7. in 1998, cynthia released "if i had the chance", a tony moran composition which took new york radio. her third album thinking about you on robbins entertainment soon followed. cynthia continues to record great music including her 2006 duet with lisette melendez "can't change your mind".

endless nights 1989 performance:
bridget kelly was born in raised in new york, ny. much like her musical influence mariah carey, bridget's music is a superb mix of pop and r&b. she is currently working on an independent album with multiman music group. check out www.multiman.com for more info on bridget kelly.
born and raised in ft. lauderdale, florida, the 21 year-old cuban/philippino pop singing sensation is leaving her mark on the ears of south florida’s music lovers. backed by miami’s own slip n’ slide records, susana is currently working on her debut album. "forever", the album's lead single is produced by lil jon and features mr. 305 himself, pitbull. enjoy. 
gia released her first single in november 2006, with the single "hit me up". the song was featured on the soundtrack of the movie happy feet. the song has charted in europe and reached #6 in australia but failed to make an impression on the u.s. charts. signed to atlantic records, she is working on her debut album that is expected in late summer 2008. the second single "obvious" is a refreshing r&b/pop diddy co-written by gia and produced by (the sometimes repetitive) startgate. enjoy.
well as most of you already know, ms. jan is back and ready to serve these young trolls somethin' fierce! here is a cool mix of jan's new joint by zach karl of zachkarl.com. in addition, you will find an acapella mix courtesy of dontfeedtheartist.com. the original mix of "feedback" is available on iTunes. be sure to support ms. jan! 
i can never seem to make up my mind about this chick. first i loved her and then she the hell out of urked me. well until i make up my mind, here is a cool freestyle remix of her #1 hit "say it right".
ran into this joint on another blog (blackmusicone) a week ago and it has been on repeat on my ipod. it'z a cool spanglish cover of alicia's "no one". check out the song and video.
my new years resolution for '08 is to create a blog. so here i am. who i am? i am still trying to figure that out, although i get closer (and more afraid of the process) everyday. :-) what i do know so far is that i love my son, music, activism and writing rhymez. with this blog, i hope to share the music i love (some of which i should be ashamed of) as well as my rhymez, thoughts and whatever else. we'll see. hope you like and please post! oh yeah, i have tons of dance music, feel free to request! :-)
