Music Monday - KeSha, Young Money & Usher "lil Freak"

New pop artist Ke$ha has an album dropping Tuesday. While I can't say it is spectacular there are a couple of bouncy tracks that would play nicely as background music during "Jersey Shore".  All jokes aside the lead single "Tik Tok" is cool but there are much better choices that could have been offered up like "Take it off", "Blah Blah Blah" and probably the best track on the disc "Boot's and Boys" if it's pushed as a single it will be Kesha's strongest club record for her this for this quarter. The girls are going to be all over the hook.
Woudl I cop the disc, no but I do think the tracks mentioned are worth scooping on iTunes. 




 

On the other side of the spectrum Young Money's "We are Young Money" features the entire Young Money roster I would mention them all but I don't want to get Carpel tunnel. Wayne Drake Nikki and Jae are the album stand outs.  Notable tracks on the album include The lead single "Bedrock" which ought to be in every club DJ's heavy rotation. The trunk bangers include "New Shit" is unfortunately called "Wife Beater". The most progressive track is "Play in my Band" While it will never see radio play it would be my choice for the b-side for any DJ service CD. It's just odd enough to stand out while still filled with that head nod base line to keep the hood hooked in. Finally Where Wayne gives a nod to the genre genesis track "Trigga man" (Look it up) the flow is not exceeptional but I respect what they are trying to do. All in all if you need some ear candy "We are Young Money" is worth picking up on sale.

While were speaking of Nikki Minaj she's featured on Ushers new album Raymond vs. Raymond

check out the track below. The interesting part of the story is Nikki getting a little open talking about her sexuality.  Not trying to go all Media take out on you but...
