Jody Watley – Nightlife
Blast from the Dance/R&B past….
Grammy winner Jody Watley, one of Pop/R&B and EDM’s most enduring and stylish trailblazers, returns with a shimmering dance floor classic inspired by both her well documented roots in disco funk soul and her love of the gilded era of dance and it’s legendary bastions of groove and fashion, from NYC’s Studio 54 to Paris’ Les Bains Douche swith a sly nod to the underground dance style ‘Waacking.’ An authentic bonus are guest backing vocals from original Shalamar male lead Gerald Brown. Destined for international runways, dance floors and beyond, this party jam is irresistible from start to finish.

Usher’s Son In ICU After Pool Accident
From TMZ:
Usher’s son Usher Raymond V is in the ICU at an Atlanta hospital after a serious accident in the singer’s pool Monday, TMZ has learned.
Sources tell TMZ, the accident occurred around 6 PM yesterday. Usher was not home at the time.
5-year-old Usher Raymond V is the oldest of Usher’s two sons with ex-wife Tameka Raymond. We’re told Usher and Tameka are currently at the hospital.
According to sources, the boy took in a lot of water in his lungs and underwent some form of resuscitation.
Doctors have been running a series of tests and so far it looks like he’ll be ok.
This is the second accident to strike children in Usher’s family. Tameka’s 11-year-old son Kile from a previous relationship passed away last year from injuries sustained during a jet ski accident.

Add 2 (@ADD2theMC) – Sorry Kanye But This Verse Is Better
Some new shit from Chicago’s Add-2. I agree with the title, but I still think neither are the best of all time, by far. Kanye’s album was “My Fisher Price First Electronic Hip-Hop Album”. Oh and Jay’s album was still bad too*, now that I’m ranting. Some friends tried to convince me otherwise but they failed.
*Unless you define good as materialistic laziness over post-trap beats.
