Cee-Lo teams With Rick Ross
Rick Ross' fourth album comes out soon, whether you like it or not.
Ricky Ross has a speckled past in hip-hop, what with his previous correctional officer occupation, bickering back and forth last year with 50 Cent and his albums that only yielded a single or two worth of music (see Port of Miami and Trilla). But that doesn't mean ole’ Ricky hasn’t been growing as an artist, selling hundreds of thousands of records and increasing critics reviews with each release. Kanye even gave Ross’ Junior album Deeper Than Rap Read On

New Music From Regina
Finnish trio Regina enchant listeners with new single
I'll be the first to say that I'm terrible with foreign languages. I took Italian and French throughout my scholastic career and all I really know how to do is properly pronounce food names and use curse words. However when I heard the new single from Finnish trio Regina, my ignorance of foreign languages became irrelevant. Regina's new single "Sinun tässä salissa," which translates to "Yours In This Room" is a mix of electronic drums, Thai pop music, and sharp but bright vocals. I have no idea what they're saying but it doesn't really matter. The single is damn catchy, perfect for an exotic summer romp. Regina's first US album Puutarhatrilogia is out now on Friendly Fire. Listen to "Sinun tässä salissa" below.
