The video for Jennifer Lopez’s new single ‘Hold It, Don’t Drop It’ premiered exclusively on MTV yesterday. Directed by Melina (who also directed many of the vids from the ‘B’ Day Anthology’), the video actually turned out pretty good. Considering she is several months pregnant, I didn’t expect to see her moving like that. Having said that, the song is still garbage and, without sounding too fatalistic, I don’t really it rescuing the album’s (‘Brave’) terrible sales.

Ex-Sugababes singer Mutya Buena teams up with Amy Winehouse for the latest single to be lifted from her ‘Real Girl’ album ‘B Boy Baby’. Having heard the song earlier this year, it stood out to me as one of the better cuts from Buena’s LP. The video, on the other hand, barely just serves it’s purpose. Amy Winehouse’s absence in the vid need not be explained. Still, despite the video’s shortcomings. Mutya may be onto a hit with this one.

Having recently signed with Atlantic Records, R&B crooner Jaheim is set to release his latest album ‘The Makings of A Man’ on December 18th. This new track ‘I’ve Changed’ (ft. Keyshia Cole) features on the set. I liked the song upon first listen; both Jaheim and Keyshia ride the beat with ease and great delivery. What’s more the song is lyrically engaging. Check it out…

Making The Band 3 winners Danity Kane were spotted Friday night at a Diddy-thrown party at Mansion Night Club in Miami. I’m feeling some of the girls’ new looks; Shannon actually looks like she has a personality now and Dawn’s darker do suits her. D.Woods has had better days lol….

“Ooh, I got a jones in my bones for you…” Love this track. It’s hard to believe that after so long in the industry, Joe is still so underrated. Still, for those who are ‘in the know’ about his immense talent, his music has and continues to leave its mark.

‘Me & U’ singer Cassie recently sat down with the team over at AllHipHop.com to discuss her forthcoming sophomore album. As well as revealing that she is working with hit-makers Brian Michael-Cox, Danja and Kanye West, she had the following to say of the new CD:

AHHA: Let’s get into the new album. What do you want people to feel once they have heard it?

Cassie: It’s a more vulnerable album; it’s a little bit stripped down as far as vocally and the content in the songs. Like I did a song last night called “That’s Not What Love Is” and it’s about a very, very real situation that a lot of people can relate to. It has a lot of emotion behind it. I really hope people get it and they see me in a different light – without the makeup, the hair and the clothes…just me, by myself. My album artwork is going to be really intimate. I want people to see me, how my boyfriend would, if I had a boyfriend that is. The way the music is coming together; I sound like I feel it.

Cassie seems like a nice girl, but it’s things like this that annoy me slightly. “It’s a little bit stripped down as far as vocally…” I didn’t think her voice could be any more stripped down than it was on her last album. Will she literally be talking her way through the tracks this time? SMH…

Where do I begin?! Aside from being one of cheapest looking movies I’ve seen in…well…a long time, the storyline had to be a joke. I can’t even lie; I don’t even know what the film is about as I type – all I know is that that budget zombie nonsense was a mess. Hold on…

Ok, I just watched it back again and am in hysterics. This can’t be for real, can it?

Will you be going to see ‘Single Black Female’?
