Trey Songz- "Yo Side Of The Bed" Video

Today Trey Songz video for "Yo Side Of The Bed" premiered exclusive on Essence.com. Trey wrote the treatment for this video which is dedicated to military families and troops who constantly put their lives on the line for us.

People instantly equate sex with Trey when they hear his name but this time around you get to see the deeper side of Trey. He plays the role of a loving father and husband who's wife (Keri Hilson) is called back to duty. The video is AMAZING!!! Instant tear jerker.

I think this has to be the best video of his career.

Chris Brown & Tyga Release "Fan of a Fan" Mixape

On May 17, 2010 Chris Brown dropped yet another mixtape, this time with the rapper Tyga entitled "Fan of A Fan".

There's a good mixture of songs on here from both artists. You'll even hear C. Breezy rapping on a few tracks.

Some tracks to look out for are "Deuces", "No Bullsh*t", "Ain't Thinkin Bout You", "Ballin", "Number One" and "Holla @ Me".

Alot of people were saying that Chris's career was over and that he wouldn't recover from his very public abuse incident with Rihana. But I think his two mixtapes are a good indication that his career is far from over.

Here's the link to download the mixtape "Fan Of A Fan".


Below are a few visuals for tracks off the mixtape.

Trey Songz Unplugged Performance

Today Trey Songz's much anticipated "MTV Unplugged" performanced premiered over on MTV.com. He tapped this a few months back, not long after coming off of the BP3 tour with Jay-Z and Jeezy.

We haven't seen an MTV Unplugged performance from an R&B act since Alicia Keys. So for MTV to add Trey to the select few who've had this opportunity says a lot about his growth as an artist.

I'm glad to see that people are finally realizing how talented of an artist he is and giving him the recognition he deserves.

Here's what Trey Songz had to say about joining the elite rank of "MTV Unplugged" performers:

"At this point in my career, with all the opportunity arising, this is definitely a major highlight within those opportunities," he says. "I saw a write up on MTV.com and they described my performance as a star-making set. That's crazy to read, and I think "Unplugged" has been that for so many people. It's a chance to highlight an artist, a chance for them to be vulnerable, a chance for them to contort their music and give it to people a different way. To show that I'm truly an artist and that I love to do what I do, making music. To do it on that platform, the same one as so many artist before me is just really amazing."

Watching this performance you would never know that Trey only had a day to put it together, he really out did himself with this performance. It's definitely one to remember. So enjoy it because I know I did.

Vivian Green Drops her third album "Beautiful"

Vivian Green first came on the scene back in 2002 with her debut album "A Love Story" that featured her hit single "Emotional Rollercoaster." As well as the single "Fanatic". Her second album entitled "Vivan" featured the hit singles "Gotta Go, Gotta Leave (Tired)", and "I Like It (But I Don't Need It)".


Now the Philly soul-singer is back with her third studio album entitled "Beautiful." It recently hit stores April 6, 2010.

Here's how Vivian describes her third album:

"These songs are all very personal, even if they're not all directly about me. A lot of them are songs I couldn't have written on my first two albums, because I just didn't have the experience or the wisdom at the time. It's the most fun I've ever had making a record," Vivian says of Beautiful’s birth cycle.

"We worked in Anthony Bell's studio, which is in his home, and it was a very relaxed, creative environment. If I wanted to sit down at the piano and start writing a song from scratch, like I did with 'Somewhere,' I could. The whole experience was very natural and comfortable, and I hope that you can hear that in the music."


A few songs to look out for on the album is the lead single "Beautiful", as well as "When We're Apart", "Better Man", "Somewhere", "So Far Gone", "Search Is Over" and "One Of None".

Check out the video to her single "Beautiful" :

Trey Songz Debuts "Neighbors Know My Name" Video

Today Trey Songz dropped the video for his 6th single "Neighbors Know My Name." I'm sure alot of people expected this video to look different then what it does, hence the content of the song. But Trey took another route with the video and gave us a different visual.

Here's what Trey had to say about the video:
"I Wantd 2 focus more on artistic shots for this video, hence the silhouettes, redlights & graphics. Small details like the white/black contrast n the bathtub scene. Every shot is the equivalent of a beautiful portrait or painting."

Iverson Returns Home to Philly!!!!!!

I'm so happy to be doing this post. I'd never thought the day would come that I'd see Allen Iverson back in a Sixers jersey. The official announcement was made Wednesday that A.I. accepted the 1 year none-guarantee deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. Philadelphia was on fire once the news hit the city, our former franchise player and the face and heart of the 76ers was officially back home where he belonged.

If any team could bring him out of retirement, it was the 76ers simply because it's where he started his career and where he wanted it to end.

Thursday, Allen was in town to hold a press conference and it didn't take long for him to let his emotions show. The minute he started talking about Philly is when he got choked up and teary eyed:


"The relationships I have with these fans are like no other in sports. I have a love for them and they love me and it's evident. When I had the opportunity to come back here I couldn't turn it down"

A.I. spoke from the heart throughout the press conference. And took everyone through the last three years of his life which he described as "hell":

"With the mistakes that I made in my life I painted a picture of me that's not me. I did a lot of things that I am not proud of, but I think those things helped me be the man that I am now," he said.

Some of the reporters kept bringing up his age (34 years old) as if it was going to prevent him from taking care of business on the court. Any Allen Iverson fan knows he leaves his heart on the floor every time he steps out on the court so to even try to insinuate that is age is going to slow him down is ridiculous.

"If I couldn't play basketball at the level that I am accustomed to then I wouldn't have made this decision, " Iverson said. "I wouldn't come back and embarrass myself. I know I can play and I am going to prove that. I am older and I want something better for my life."

"I have done a lot of things as far as bringing it on myself. The mistakes and decisions that I have made throughout my career, that bad rap followed me and it ended up hurting me. I actually for the first time in my life didn't want to play the game because of everything else besides basketball."



Best believe that over the next five months Iverson is going to show the Sixers organization why they should consider extending his contract beyond this season because he NEVER wants to leave home again.

“I want to fit in. I want to be a part of any success that we have. I just want to be one of the guys,” said Iverson. “That’s it. I don’t need a whole bunch of praise. I don’t need to have a lot of accolades, anything like that. I want to play basketball. I just love to play basketball."

“I can only see something positive with this situation. I want to retire here. I wanted it that way. I was young when all the stuff was going on before. I left. I don’t think I made the right decisions. I think I acted a lot on anger. I wish that I didn’t have to go through the last couple years in my career, but I think it will help me with this situation.”


I can't say enough how excited I am about Allen Iverson being back in Philly. And to see A.I. hold up that #3 Sixers Jersey again....priceless!!! And from what I understand his scheduled return game (Monday, December 7th, against the Denver Nuggets) is SOLD OUT!!! The energy in the Wachovia Center that night is going to be unbelievable and I'm 100% sure A.I. will get emotional again from all the LOVE he receives once the P.A announcer says his name and he sets foot on the court.

Out on Campus | Laren Robinson - Features

Imagine growing up feeling completely out of place that is how Lauren Robinson a junior basketball player at the very Catholic St Joseph's University felt:

"I am Christian-Catholic," Robinson said. "I was born and raised in a strict Christian, Baptist household. Half of my family is also Catholic, so it was really difficult for me growing up. There wasn't really any stability; I didn't really have a place. I couldn't be Christian because I was gay. I couldn't be Catholic because I was gay. And my family wasn't approving."

As far as the female athletes must be gay stereotype, well here are her thoughts

It’s a bunch of bullshit, that’s what it is. I mean, for lack of a better term. There are really not that many gay people on basketball teams. I’d like to say that it’s because of the stereotypes we have about what’s masculine, what’s feminine. There are girls who are really big and really strong. That’s just part of the life that we live. When you play on a basketball team it’s because you’re good at that sport. How sexuality comes into play, I don’t even know.

Invented Sex

I know I'm a little late with this post but better late than never. So, last week Trey Songz premiered his video for "I Invented Sex" via twitter. "Invented Sex" is Trey's third single off his album "Ready." I just have one word after watching it....Hottt!!! Trey received flack for this video because some people that it was raunchy and close to be a soft porno. I on the other hand think the video is sexy, mature and tastefully done.





Also go to Trey's blog http://www.seefurtherthaniam.com to learn his insight behind the video.
