On November 20th Jada released his fourth studio album titled "Top 5 Dead Or Alive " "Ahaa!".... The Raspy voice killer aka Jason aka Top 5 Dead Or Alive aka Jadakiss. I think it's safe to say that Jadakiss is on almost everyone's top 5 and if not top 10. I have to say that I expected much more from T5DOA. I thought a statement was going to be made with this album, but I was very

Anthony Hamilton's "Back To Love" is the seventh album from the 40 year-old soul singer. I heard plenty of songs from Anthony Hamilton in the past, but this is the first time I listened to a complete album from him. While listening to "Back To Love" I got the sense that I was hearing an album from the 90's with Anthony Hamilton's throwback style. One song that I really enjoyed on this album is
