Craving new R. Kelly music?

R&B’s Pied Piper is gearing up to serve a hot plate of fresh material this Friday when new album ‘The Buffet’ two-steps into stores.

Though boasting a career of solo smashes, the vocal veteran has enlisted a number of notable names for the LP including Lil Wayne and RCA label-mate Tinashe.

His collaboration with the latter, ‘Let’s Be Real Now,’ was unwrapped a few short moments ago.

Only one week remains until August Alsina‘s all-important second studio album ‘This Thing Called Life’ lands in stores.

The record follows the New Orleans native’s debut ‘Testimony,’ which opened at #2 on the Billboard 200 in April 2014 with first week sales of 67,000.

To help best that LP’s total (278k), the 23-year-old has enlisted the likes of Lil Wayne and Chris Brown – with latter appearing on the song ‘Been Around The World.’

Much to the delight of their fervent fanbases, the pair have premiered the track (which samples Lisa Stansfield‘s 1989 classic ‘All Around the World.’)

Many of you will not have heard of Se7en, hell I hadn’t until a few moments ago LOL. The 24 year old old Korean star is set to launch an assault on the US charts with the Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins produced ‘Them Girls’, which features Lil’ Kim.

I was pleasantly surprised when hearing this; the beat goes hard and Se7en does his thing on the track that is unashamedly targeted at the US audience. It’ll be interesting to see how this project pans out…

The RAGE directed video for ‘Them Girls’ is set to be shot in Los Angeles on December 8th, and will feature cameos by Darkchild and Lil’ Kim.

Hit or Miss?
