Check out Bilal's Airtight Revenge

Coming off the heels of his debut "First Born Second" and one of the most classic underground "shelved" albums "Love For Sale", neo soul artist Bilal returns from a 9 year commercial hiatus with "Airtight's Revenge". Currently on L.A. based independent label Plug Research, Bilal is serving a more live and airy sound using heavy bass lines and guitar licks. "This album a lot of it came from writing the music on the piano and then developing a good melody and good lyrics and then creating a track around that." the 31 year-old said in an interview. "It’s even more of a mesh up of a lot of different sounds and genres." The album drops on September 14th and you can sample the track "Flying" below.

Willow Smith prepares to take the world by storm on RocNation imprint

“After meeting with several record companies, it was clear that JAY-Z, Ty Ty, Jay Brown and the Roc Nation staff was the unquestionable choice. Their passion for Willow combined with their boundless vision and artistic integrity made Roc Nation the perfect home for our little girl.”- Jada Pinkett-Smith "We at Roc Nation are excited to work with Willow. She has an energy and enthusiasm about her music that is truly infectious. It’s rare to find an artist with such innate talent and creativity at such a young age. Willow is about to embark on an incredible journey and we look forward to joining her as she grows in all aspects of her career.”- Jay-Z. So what you all think? I know it might be too early to tell but in such an uncertain and unstable music market, does Willow have what it takes to make a splash on the scene?

Ron Isley featuring Lauryn Hill "Close to You"



A beautiful remake of Burt Bacharach's "(They Long to Be) Close to You". This track is haunting. Nice to see hints of real music here and there. Any chance to get anything new from the reclusive Lauryn Hill is also a treat. Take a listen.

Brandy will be stunting as a ballroom queen this coming fall....but I got a prob!

Instead of punching her over-sized forehead to the studio booth to recoup her waning music career, Brandy will be swinging her 31 year-old hips on the dance floor for her 10s this fall on this season's dancing with the stars.
But I have a problem. I understand that a cunt needs to get her coins just like the next bitch. And I respect the fact that after the weak reception of her last studio effort "Human", she kept her grand hustle going with "A Family Business" and such. But a bitch desperately needs to regain her footing in the music industry. I believe that it should be her main focus. Doing things like "Dancing with The Stars" is somewhat turning her career into a gimmick. Considering that she would be traipsing with girls like Bristol Palin and The Situation is just upsetting. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Brandy. I believe that her "Never Say Never" was an R&B classic. Her lyrics and melodic artistry resonates to my soul. So it is understandably disheartening to see her engaging in such trivial projects. I so want to see a solid album and promotional treatment for such a talent as Brandy. If Monica can do it, Brandy definitely has just as much potential.

T.I. and Tiny gets arrested....for filth!

Cruising around with a car full of meth and ecstasy, that pug face cunt named Tiny and her jail-bait husband, T.I. got escorted to a local holding cell in L.A. last night. Around 10:18 pm, T.I. got pulled over in his Maybach on Sunset Blvd for a traffic violation. Because the cops "smelled marijuana" they began searching the car when they discovered the controlled substance. Both were booked for possession and will be sitting next to a huge bitch named Molly until they post bail, if they can.... C'mon ya'll, let's do better!

The Basic Bitch... Explored Part Two

A basic bitch is a jealous bitch....
      because she isn't relevant, her life goal is to ruin yours to attain such

A basic bitch is a dusty ballroom queen
      you can find her at the local mall or fag bar swinging her bad hips to a beat or boosting by stuffing her stupid big and empty bag with stretch pants from H&M and the like....

A basic bitch is a clueless bitch
     because she never has anything meaningful to say, the bitch will just make up something...

Fantasia - Did the drama help or hurt her album sales?

Fantasia's "Back To Me" made a significant debut on the charts this week by entering #2 on the US album charts to sell 122k copies coming second to Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream". It also secured the number one spot on the R&B chart. However, this release also found Fantasia in the headlines for her affair with a married man, ensuing legal woes, and attempted suicide. This saw a surge in marketing by Fantasia's camp with appearances on talk shows, performances, and television specials. Although her team say that these were all scheduled beforehand, I do believe that Fantasia in some way benefited from her misery. Like the saying goes, any publicity is good publicity. From this unfortunate event, the public was made aware of an album release that would otherwise only be known in her core fan base. I personally would like to see Fantasia move on from this situation and forward in promotion for what I think is her best album yet. Her second single has been switched from "Man of the House" to "I'm Doing Me" which was a smart choice. Here's hoping for a tour. Season 2 of Fantasia For Real premieres on VH1 September 19th. (keeping fingers crossed that I will be featured in her promo stop in St. Louis!)

So we're back again.... for good?

I want to personally apologize to all the supporters of Hava-Seat for my lack of posts and presence. Working and schooling full time has definitely taken it's toll. But I do plan to be more present for this fall tenure. Thanks to all of those who still come by and support on and off the site. I will definitely make it my business to make it up to you! Kiss-kiss!
