Play Me: Lauryn Hill - Lose Myself
No, your eyes aren't decieving you - L-Boogie has recorded a new track. It's called "Lose Myself", and it is off of the soundtrack for Columbia Pictures' animated film, Surf's Up. Granted, this is not the world famous Lauryn Hill sound we all know and love (it's more pop/rock/reggae, I'd say), it still has a refreshing feel and hearing Ms. Hill's voice again is always joyous. Fugees album, anyone?

Play Me: Cassie - Sometimes (feat. Ryan Leslie)
Guess who's biz-ack? It's the NextSelection Princess, who is busy working on her sophmore album. Here is a slice of the work in progress. "Sometimes" features Cassie's mack daddy, Ryan Leslie, who really believes he can rap. What a schmuck. Well, he also believes that Cassie can sing and in case your wondering, she still can't do that. Let us hope that this isn't her first single.

Play Me: Amy Winehouse - Rehab (Remix f. Jay-Z)
The rumored Amy Winehouse/Jay-Z collabo is prepared for you all. Yeah, I have exclaimed my admiration for Amy the Alchie and sure, I'm a fan of Hov, but I don't like this remix at all. My ears gave it a chance; it just doesn't sound right to me. Jay did a decent job lyrically, but I don't think that he makes a good team with WineCooler.

Play Me: DJ Khaled - We Takin' Over (Remix f. R.Kelly, T-Pain, Lil Kim, & Young Jeezy)
Before I even start a review here, let me just say this. If I hear T-Pain or R.Kelly on one more damn song, I might just eat my own face (don't worry, I'll find a way). Now, DJ Khaled is doing it so big this year and Miami couldn't be prouder. His single We Takin' Over is a smash hit just about everywhere. It lead to a female version (that we shalt not speak of...garbage), but this one is an official remix. It feels so good to hear Lil' Kim on record again.
