Jagged Edge Brings Back R&B

As a loyal fan of Jagged Edge, I was oozing with delight when I found out they planned to revisit their classic opus “J.E. Heartbreak” and release “J.E Heartbreak 2.” I thought of all the great songs on the original and immediately burst into song, “Can’t take another heartbreak.” Seriously, track one of “J.E Heartbreak” will go down in history as one of the greatest intros of all time.

“J.E. Heartbreak 2” was released last week and shortly after, rose to #1 on the iTunes charts.

Brian “Brasco” Casey, Brandon “Case Dinero” Casey, Kyle “Quick” Norman, Richard “Wingo Dollars” Wingo celebrated the release with #TeamBeautiful at an exclusive meet and greet in NYC where one lucky fan got the chance to take a selfie with the boys!

J.E.’s social campaign is spearheaded by the motto, “bringing back real R&B.” They aren’t kidding. If you don’t believe us, just cop their album, here.

Remy Ma Drops ‘I’m Around’ Mixtape

When Remy Ma was released from prison after serving nearly seven years for shooting Makeeda Barnes-Joseph, she laced up her Tom Ford boots, snapped a pic then uploaded the photo to Instagram with the caption, “I’m around #theRULER’sback.” Appropriately, she named her mixtape the same. Remy, who was readjusting to life outside of the penitentiary, wasted no time getting into the studio. And with hip-hop’s heavy hitters like DJ Khaled anticipating her return, they collaborated on “They Don’t Love Me No More” remix. Shall we even mention the BET awards cypher?

Striking while the iron is still hot, Remy dropped her highly anticipated project “I’m Around” — that proves she’s still just as gritty as her blonde bang days on Terror Squad.

Whitney Houston Live: Her Greatest Performances
