The UK’s Taio Cruz is currently enjoying immense success in the US with his singles, the latest of which is ‘Dynamite’. Having sold a whopping 700,000 copies, the song now sits comfortably at #2 on the US iTunes chart ahead of the release of its video – a sneak peek of which surfaced a few moments ago.
Rumoured to feature Cruz’s new Def Jam label-mate, Jennifer Lopez, the full clip is expected later this week. In the meanwhile, peep the preview after the jump…

Yes Taio is doing it big, representing for the UK. Dynamite is a big tune
White dude trapped in a black dude’s body.
WHO THE F*** IS HE I’VE NEVER HEARD ONE OF HIS SONGS BUT I’VE SEEN THEM ON THE BB’S
Have been listening to this dude since ’07. I’m excited more people are getting to know about him here in the States. Love his stuff! 😀
@BEYONCE VS. WORLD

@YO

i dont know… im just not feeling him BANGING SONGWRITER…. but hes MONOTONE cant dance at all.. singing is average.. hes obviously trying to cement his place as the UK’s USHER… but i dno.. i just dont see it
i hope he re-release this album… cause there some great songs “Best Girl” and “What U Need” didn’t make it on the album… Dynmite is a club banger!

Uk should be ashamed! who listens to this Self hater s*** music.I almost vomited just by looking at his photo.Sucking s**** master’s d***! Nicca get over yoself!…
Taio has identity issues it is very sad to see a Nigerian like that.I think he is deep in the closet.This song is nothing special anoher nail in the coffin of black music.
i honestly did not know he was nigerian…u could have never guessed but i do believe he is in the closet..i do like his music tho and its good he is getting success across the pond..kudos to him
i cant wait to see if the queen JLO is gonna be featured in this video …
hes english? lol
The Black Justine Bieber he is so tame, safe and boring.I agree he has no identity and whats with never putting black women in his videos-tool.
since there’s the legend JLO in it, I will watch of course.
liked some of his early work thou he aint the only 1 who has either light skinned and no dark girls in his video. from the snippet it sounds like the same electro dance stuff ot right now
i mean out. do you think he will last a long time? will see
The whole song is totaly different than any other song today and yeah I can’t wait for this video. It’s quite hard to wait !!!!!!
Taio Cruz Feat Jennifer Lopez .. This is gonna be DYNAMITE <3
YO – what an ignorant thing to say.. Racial discrimination will not stop when people continue to generalize as you have; just because he doesn’t accord with the stereotype of the typical try-hard R&B or Hip-Hop star, doesn’t mean it has anything to do with his skin colour.
A person’s behavior stems majorly from the culture in which they are raised or live – in this case, Taio’s British. There are black people all around the world whose personality go beyond the American hood/street stereotype – this stereotype of black people just sadly seems to be the most prominent in the media. Fortunately people like Obama (considering the position he has achieved) is stretching the narrow-mindness of such views.
I know you might think i’ve taken a real stretch on such a lighthearted comment, but tolerance for such remarks speak louder of the people’s true perception.
Amazing song lookin fowrd to the video
jennifer lopez rocks he is lucky.
The song is available to download in the UK now.I do not think anyone is saying that black people do not have all kinds of temperaments, personalities, styles and ways of being.It is not about being ghetto or middle class.I accept Taio has had a middle class upbringing and was raised in the UK but it is a shame that he does not show any pride in his roots or heritage and it bugs me that he never has black women in his videos.
I hope JLO is gonna be featured on his remix. That would be HOT.
@HI –
This is not about racial discrimination or someone trying to confirm into a stereotypical image of the ‘black guy’, this is someone actually denying his heritage. Someone putting down black women and declaring that they don’t live up to his beauty standards.
This guy is a moron and definately a degraceful excuse for a black man. There is not stereotype but he is a disgrace.
