Episode 8 – Still Standing

Sels — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 14:45:24 +0000

Well after an unexpected hiatus due to technical difficulties we’re back. A lot of new things are coming soon so keep an eye out. This week we’re starting out with Monica’s Still Standing, a song that has been on point for me lately. Be on the look out for a review of Jazmine Sullivan’s debut Fearless soon, along with reviews for Ayah and Jimmie Reign, who are a couple new artists to look out for. Both of these talented ladies have mixtapes available. And if you haven’t checked out Anthony David yet you need to. Spittin’ Game is just one of my favorites on his cd Acey Duecy. This year has been good for R&B/Soul music and I’ll break down more highlights of my favorites as we get closer to the end of 2008.
