FreshfromDE wants to cut off the dead weight that’s keeping him from ascending. That’s something we can all relate to. And it’s that message that makes the catchy “They Just Wanna” work even more so. We all have dealt with hanger-ons, haters, et cetera, but some of us still just deal with them because of […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @AlanZMusic Revisits 90s R&B in Color Me Bad
Alan Z always delivers, either with a hot track or a thought-provoking video. This time, he went a bit of a different route. “Color Me Bad,” from First Time’s The Charm, isn’t a bad song by any means. It lives up to its 90s R&B namesake by being sexy but not raunchy. It’s a bit […]
