We don’t know much about the mysterious artist One Room, what I do know is that I like his first track “I Want You.” Combining an addictive piano melody with simple drums, One Room, both raps and sings over this subtle track. Other than that he is off the grid, you can go to his tumblr and d/l this song for free in exchange for tweet. Go to http://0neroom.tumblr.com/ and check this one out.
One Room – I Want You
Mary J. repeats having Drake on her first single to set off her new album. This one goes out to all the girls who stick with the wrong guy.

Young Money artist Jay Sean is back with a nice R&B track to get your Wednesday going. On a side note Fat Joe released his first single featuring Chris Brown and I repeat he is still awful, no post for you, slightly less Fat Joe.
Jay Sean – The Mistress
Slowing down things a bit, here is R&B newcomer, Mateo. Enlisting the help of Alicia Keys and her husband, Swizz, handling the production, Mateo has a nice single on his hands. Very nice song, hopefully we will see more from him in the future.
Mateo ft. Alicia Keys – Say Its So
I will say it again, David Guetta is a machine for producing radio hits and his album is full of them. We shared earlier his collaboration with Chris Brown and Lil’ Wayne, now I give you his next big hit on deck, “Without You.” Combining his top notch dance production with Usher Raymond’s vocals works perfectly here, and will be sure to be heard in every club very soon.

Freestyle Friday continues, and Jessica from Fredonia is pretty pumped after attending the F.A.M.E concert and wants to here more Breezy. More Breezy you shall receive, Jessica. If we avoid the elephant in the room and disregard his personal life, Chris Brown is one hell of an entertainer. This man is the closest thing we have to MJ, and even shares the legend’s history of controversy. Below I give you a megamix of new and old, as well as some unreleased tracks.
Chris Brown – Forever
Chris Brown – Beautiful People
Chris Brown – Kiss Kiss feat. T-Pain
T-Pain – Best Love Song feat. Chris Brown
Chris Brown – Glow in the Dark
What happens when you get a record deal in 2009, and nothing comes of it? Well in Christopher Breaux’s case, you change your name to Frank Ocean, and prove yourself through songwriting and releasing a critically acclaimed mixtape. After penning songs for the likes of Justin Bieber, Beyonce, and John Legend, Frank put his attention and focus into taking personal favorite songs and singing new lyrics over the original music. He then added some original material including the underground hit, “Novacane,” to make up his free mixtape, nostalgia, ULTRA. With the release of the tape, as well as his affiliation to the young hip hop group, Odd Future, he began to draw more and more attention ultimately leading to his guest appearances on Watch the Throne. Check out his unique voice and songwriting skills on one of his early songs, “Pyrite.”
Frank Ocean – Pyrite (Fool’s Gold)
Fresh off his new mixtape “Boy In Detention,” Chris Brown gives us a another smooth R&B song to rock with. Produced by JUSTICE League, and featuring newcomer (and country singer?) Joelle James, this is a nice late night track to listen to. – JJ
