Artist Spotlight: Deena Jonez

I was on Global Grind and can across this article about a female rapper that has a reminisce of artists like Queen Latifah and MC Lyte….so I had to check this rapper. Deena Jonez posted her latest mixtape called Memoirs Of A Libra last month on Datpiff [Click to listen] && it is HARD!! Its unique, its different… Deena hits on all topics such as love, sex, and respect in the game. I know that the ladies will love this mixtape and the fellas will respect it for being a great mixtape!

Here are five of my favorite tracks:

#1 El Futuro

#2 Unfinished Sympathy

#3 Blinded By The Light

#13 Don’t Look Back [true title is Heartbeat--believe there's a mix up on the tracklist on Datpiff]

#15 Mama Told Me

This mixtape rides from start to finish for me… Let me know that you think!

Artist Spotlight – Jai

Jai

Jai is one of my followers on Twitter and he just did a video for a track called Make You Mine…

I’m loving the hook:

I say that you the sun/cause I love the way you shine/baby you the only one/and i’m just tryin’ to make you mine/and if I can’t see you/then I just wanna be blind/and you know I’m on my grind/I ain’t trying to yo time/

&& the chic singing in the background sounds like Fantasia to me…

You can find Jai on Twitter [@jamiejai] && Myspace at [/jai1186]
