Erykah Badu returns with her newest album “New Amerykah, pt.2…” in stores today. I had a chance to check out the album and if you’re a fan of her work then this album won’t disappoint.

Check out “Window Seat” below.
Usher returns with his new album “Raymond v. Raymond” today. A lot of people (including myself) have been down on Usher since his last album “Here I Stand.” Personally I didn’t feel like that was one of his better albums but, Usher has definitely come back strong on his new album “Raymond v. Raymond.” Check out “OMG” and my personal favorite “Mars vs. Venus” below and support the album, in stores now.
