FRESH TRACK IS A RELATIVE TERM. WHILE THESE TRACKS WERE OBVIOUSLY RECORDED YEARS AGO, THE FACT THAT I HAVE NEVER HEARD THEM, MAKE THEM "FRESH." 

SO YEAH, I WAS ONE OF THOSE WHO COUNTED THIS DUDE OUT. BUT AFTER HEARING THIS SONG, I AM GONNA COUNT ON HIM! THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT HIS MOST RADIO READY SONG IN YEARS. IF THIS DOESN'T GIVE HIM A HIT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL.

HIS VOICE HAS REALLY GROWN ON ME. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS KINDA JARRING, BUT NOW I AM FEELIN' IT.

UPDATED!

.:BONUS: TOSSIN' & TURNIN':.

HERE IS THE SECOND SINGLE FROM HER FORTHCOMING SOPHOMORE ALBUM OF THE SAME TITLE.

ANOTHER COOL JOINT WRITTEN BY BRUNO MARS.

OKAY, SO THIS IS OFFICIALLY MY FAVORITE SONG OF THE DAMN SUMMER! THIS SONG IS SO DAMN GOOD, IT COULD GET THEM BACK ON RADIO. THAT IS IF RADIO STOPS BEING SO DAMN MUNDANE! 

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!

.:VELA'S FREESTYLE MIX:.

.:EXTENDED CLUB MIX:.

.:BONUS: PICTURE FRAME:.

KINDA CHEESY. BUT THAT KINDA FEEL-GOOD CHEESY

.

HE HASN'T MADE AN APPEARANCE IN THE HOOD SINCE THE JANUARY LEAK OF HIS SINGLE LAYAWAY. THIS TUNE COMES COURTESY OF OUR FELLOW NEIGHBOR, JEFF. THIS IS A COVER OF THE 1988 TRACY CHAPMAN'S GRAMMY AWARD WINNING CLASSIC TUNE. THE VERSION FEATURES AN UNKNOWN FEMALE VOCALIST. WHAT IS KNOWN IS THAT THIS TRACK IS A GREAT LISTEN.

SHE COULD VERY WELL BE THE NEXT BIG THING.

I LOVE, LOVE THIS VIDEO. I AM SO READY TO GO AND FIND ME A SUMMER FLING!

HE HASN'T MADE AN APPEARANCE IN THE HOOD IN QUITE SOME TIME. THIS APPEARANCE COMES COURTESY OF A DEMO TRACK. TOO BAD BECAUSE HE SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

WASN'T SURE ABOUT THIS SONG AT FIRST, BUT IT HAS SINCE GROWN ON ME.

HER MIXTAPE WAS RELEASED OVER A WEEK AGO BUT TOOK ME A WHILE TO CHECK IT OUT. THIS IS THE SONG THAT CAUGHT MY EAR. MAKES ME WISH CASSIE WOULD GET BACK TO MUSIC.
