new sounds : "the first flight" by diggy simmons

so if i were 15, i would TOTALLY try to get @ Digg - his swag is ridiculously crazy! *lol*

any way, daniel 'diggy' simmons as everyone knows is the son of rev. run & justine of mtv's "run's house" and he has now burst on the scene with his first mixtape titled "the first flight'. i knew that dig wanted to break into the fashion industry from watching episodes of the show, but i had NO CLUE that he could rhyme.

favorite cuts:

"point to prove" - the first single released of the mixtape which talks about how even though he comes from a legacy of hip-hop royalty, this young chap has to show everyone who he is, regardless of his famous roots.
"laid back" - this track talks about how he's trying to holla at a young ya-dig, but rapperes chris classic & mike charles reassure diggy that he's got all the time in the world for the girls, and he should really just focus on himself & living the life of a teenager.

with eleven other tracks, diggy really has something going. i'm excited to see where he takes his rapping and fashion career. unlike his older brother jojo, who started the group "team blackout" *where they at?* diggy is blazing his own trail and talking about his experiences as a 15 year old boy - which just makes the mixtape so much more commendable and enjoyable to listen.

i rate this mixtape 4 out of 5 stars - this dude is about to blow up and everybody better get ready. check out a free download from datpiff here : http://www.datpiff.com/Dj_Spin_King_Diggy_The_First_Flight.m82094.html

| bathroom files - brandy sings "a change is gonna come" |

so i've always been a brandy fan, but as of late, shorty has been singing her FACE on these youtube videos she's been posting! a lot of people throw her shade because they think she can't sing, but the proof is in the bathroom sink *ok, i tried*

check out brandy's rendition of sam cooke's "a change is gonna come" & tell me what you think. i'm gonna need for artists like her, monica, and a host of others to go on tour - i would be there front row!

**flyness alert! : anika noni rose

happy monday lovies!

this week is going to be one for the books, so i'm going to try my best to squeeze in posts when i can. but like always, my fashion radar is on 24/7 and i spotted this amazingly fly dress that actress anika noni rose wore to the premiere of disney's "the princess & the frog". it is something that i would TOTALLY were, and i guess that's why i fell in love with it so quickly.

can't wait to see the first black disney princess movie!
