Miguel - Sure Thing (Official Video)

Ahhh, finally the visuals have arrived for Miguel's Sure Thing. This is actually my favorite song off of his debut album All I Want Is You.

This song is also featured on The I.$.H. Presents...In The Morning. Make sure you pick both of those albums up for your loved ones!

Miguel is a great artist and I look forward to hearing great things from him.

Sure Thing is directed by none other than the great Hype Williams. I think now it should be obvious to be able to point out a Hype Williams directed video.

Anyway, shoutout to http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/ for the video.

The I.$.H. Presents...In The Morning (Mixtape)

A year after The I.$.H. Presents The Late Night Sessions R&B groove mix, I have decided to make a new R&B slow mix entitled In The Morning to follow up. I do have to thank a few special friends and a VERY special twitter/BBM friend for giving me inspiration to be able to make this new mixtape CD.

I thought Late Night Sessions would be my last R&B DJ mixtape, but I love music too much and always want people to hear and feel the passion that I have for the music.

I know a lot of people were waiting patiently for this, so without further ado...

For the record, I am not singing, this is a collection of my favorite new and hot R&B songs mixed together for your pleasure.

Also, this is for promotional use only! I am not trying to make money from this project, I just one day would like to be a TV Host/Music Personality...lol

Diddy Dirty Money - Ass On The Floor ft Swizz Beatz (Video)


All aboard! The Last Train To Paris has finally arrived and everyone that's taking this ride needs to get they ass to the floor immediately. Most people that know me, know I love to dance and don't need to drink to kick it off either.

When I first heard this song, I automatically related to it because I like to dance and don't care who's watching and what they think.

As Swizz Beatz says, "when you're in the club, get ya ass on the floor, them haters can't tell you nothing!" I love that line. The funny thing is I just heard this song yesterday and then saw the video today, so I immediately had to post it for the people.

Shoutout to http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/ for the video.


Ciara - You Can Get It (New Music)


Usually I don't speak about personal relationships and dating on SSD because this dating subject is a whole another can of worms I'd rather not open.

I do however have a love for music and so when the music incorporates real life situations in the lyrical content then I have no choice but to chime in.

What??? I'm just bringing you that heat, like normal.

The interesting thing about today's song "You Can Get It" by Ciara is lately I have been dealing with situations where I want to say to people, "Yo, Just Keep it Real."

Stop trying to pretend that you aren't interested when you really are. AND definitely stop acting like you could be interested when in fact you KNOW you really aren't. i.e. wasting everyone's time.

Atleast be honest with what it is you truly want from that "relationship."

I have a lot of female friends, so I hear all types of "stories" and its almost to the point where I want to grab a loud speaker and just go through the neighborhoods repeatedly saying, "Be upfront, keep it real." In other words, stop selling dreams.

In You Can Get It, I feel Ciara is right on point in a way where I wish more "liberal" women would be. Its almost like an oxymoron seeing as its supposed to be 2010 with equal rights but yet some women want to still pretend its back in the '40s when it comes to dating.

I say play the part entirely. When women want anything else in life including jobs, houses, pay raises etc, in this day and age is more than empowered enough to go get it. Why can't the same thing be said for a woman being vocal about wanting and getting her partner's initial attention?

I have heard some of my friends say if a guy doesn't approach her, she won't make the first move either. That can be detrimental seeing as she may miss out on something great.

I actually love a confident woman that knows what she wants. Don't wait for a guy to approach you, he might not catch your subtle clues.

The truth is most guys are aggressive and assume every girl wants them, and eventually the law of averages works out, but what about professional, reasonable and logical people (such as myself) that deal with women every day?

I'm a professional photographer so I would be an idiot to think that every woman that smiles at me is literally interested.

What I like about this song is Ciara is basically saying, yo I like this guy, I'm gonna tell him.

"Oh, Four Oh Four, Six One Two
Hand me the phone I'll put it in for you
Oh Woah Woah

Find myself slow dancin' to the song (to the song)
See you watching baby I will put you on (put you on)
Get up on me and I might just try it on (try it on)
Tonight...you might just get this phone number

Four Oh Four, Six One Two
Hand me the phone I'll put it in for you
Running into you ain't no coincidence
I been watching you forever since ...

...Tryna keep it one hundred because I'm not with the games, yo
And I don't run around giving out in-fo
Not tryna be funny it's just a side-note
Otherwise I'm just fallin' for you"

-Ciara "You Can Get It"

In short, that's what I'm talking about CiCi, tell them what you want!

I will admit that I know alot of times women are worried on how they will come off by approaching a guy as well as worrying about what other people will think, but honestly, people will think things if you sit in the corner lonely, so why not go for what you truly want? I guess I should take my own advice. Ha.

T.I. - Pledge Allegiance Feat Rick Ross (Video)

T.I.'s camp has released the latest video from No Mercy entitled Pledge Allegiance featuring "the Baaws", Ricky Rozay.

This track is actually a bonus track that is featured on the deluxe edition of No Mercy. Its actually one of my favorite songs that leaked a while back so its good to see it stayed on the album and actually had visuals to go along with it.

T.I. is currently serving a parole violation sentence so any new music, videos or artist news is good to hear while he is gone til Novemver. Keep ya head up T.I.P.
