DISCOVER & DOWNLOAD: The Paradiso Girls featuring Lil' Jon

~ "Patron Tequila"

Sometime later this year Robin Antin's definition of The European Pussycat Dolls, also known as The Paradiso Girls will release their debut album. The girls are releasing a little song called "Patron Tequila" as their first single, which caused drama amongst many people including Keri Hilson and T-Pain. The song is a great, uptempo club banger with a nice pop / dance vibe to it. This song will be nice debut for these girls, and I can see them receiving a lot of attention with this. Enjoy the song!

HOT STORY: Its Official, T.I. Is Going to Jail For a Year and a Day!

Back in October 2007, rapper T.I. was caught buying illegal machine guns and several silencers just four hours before the BET Hip-Hop Awards. He was charged with two felonies and had possession of firearms from a convicted felon. After a trial which shocked most of the hip-hop community, on Friday morning T.I. was ordered by a federal court to report to prison for 366 days (a day and a year). He was also order to due 1,000 hours of community service (some of which appeared on his MTV series T.I.'s Road to Redemption) along with fines of about $100,300.

He has 30 to 60 days to report to jail, and he will be locked up most probably until May 2010, latest. If T.I. stays good, he might even be out as soon as October, which is half his term. It's sad to see him done with ''The Paper Trail'', but now hopefully he can write some good songs while he is serving. We wish him all the best, and hope to see him return home safely.

~ "Knock You Down"

Within hours, the world will be blessed with the release of Keri Hilson's ''In a Perfect World''.

Her first two singles "Go Girl" and "Never Ever" failed to make a public impact, but CiCi is already proving us wrong with her third single "Love Sex Magic" featuring Justin Timberlake. The song is a nice retro-pop / dance song witha  nice beat and chorus. The video, is simple, but greatly resembles the song and both of the artists' pasts. I hope this becuase big, for the sake of her album. Enjoy!!

OFFICIAL ARTWORK: Ciara ~ ''Fantasy Ride''

After months of delays, excuses and more, r&b princess Ciara is set to release her 3rd album entitled ''Fantasy Ride''. The album which we were to have about a year ago is finally set for a release date of this summer. Her current single "Love and Sex and Magic" with Justin Timberlake is slowly rising on the charts, and is actually doing far better than any of her songs from this era. Here is the official artwork for the album, which took 8 months to create. I am a bit disappointed, and even though the picture is nice, the effects and font are just horrendous. I really hope the music on this album are nicer than the cover. Enjoy this, I guess!

This should hopefully bring the girls back on top! Enjoy the video!

On April 14th, Day26 will release their sophomore album ''Forever in a Day''! Their first single "Stadium Music" is slowly rising on the r&b charts, and is starting to gain popularity.

Also, the picture choice, is not really that nice. I wish the guys all the best with their new album! Enjoy the cover art!

HOT STORY: Hollywood's Newest Feud - Beyoncé & Keri Hilson!

This week Miss Keri Hilson has been all over the net including doing promotion for her newest album ''In a Perfect World'' [which is set to drop any day now], confirming her newest single "Slow Dance", and starting a feud with the legendary Beyoncé! Yesterday morning a new remix of her hit "Turnin' Me On" featuring Lil' Wayne and T-Pain appeared online, which included a new verse from Keri. It in she raps "You can dance / She can sing / But need to move it to the left / She need to go have some babies /She need to sit down".

Many have been wondering if she is referring to B, but lyrics like "movie it to left" which quotes Beyoncé's "Irreplace" and the fact that she has expressed her want for children, really make it obvious who it is targeted to. Also, Keri has publicly expressed that B sang the same way Keri did in Usher's "Love in this Club" remix. In the clip Keri also mentions how Beyoncé doesn't write her won music.

Ever since Keri came into the singing game it seems that Sasha Fierce has never done anything to diss her or bash her. Keri always seemed like a sweet girl to me, but maybe this is just so she can receive more hype for her album? Stay tuned and see what drama emerges from these r&b songstresses, and how Beyoncé will fire back.

VIDEO PREMIERE: Jesse McCartney featuring Ludacris
~ "How Do You Sleep?"

Next month pop singer Jesse McCartney is planning on re-releasing his album ''Departure'' with new songs and remixes, like for his song "How Do You Sleep?". The single version of "How Do You Sleep?" is a remix featuring Ludacris. The song is a mediocre uptempo pop song, similar to his early Disney stuff. The video fits perfectly to theme of the song, but is pretty bland at the end of the day. I think he will need another single if he wants to rebound back! Enjoy this though!
