Gospel singer Estee's new single You Are breaks Billboard's Top 100 chart. Since the release of the single, it has moved up the chart from the 155 spot to the 82nd spot and is still steadily climbing the charts each week.
Estee really did her thing on this new track. Vocally, Estee has a way of capturing her audience and moving your soul with every note. The production of the single is well mastered and I must say its rare that you are immediately moved right at the beginning of a song. From the initial start of the song I could feel my spirit being moved. You Are is a beautiful tribute to the most high and his loving power to see us through any and everything.

Old school flashback of the week is N.W.A.'s hit, Straight Out of Compton. The group which included members Dr, Dre, Eazy E., MC Ren, Ice Cube and DJ Yella; brought Gangsta Rap to mainstream with a huge bang. The music industry didn't know what hit it when N.W.A. hit the scene 27 years ago. The groups music told the story of their own personal experiences growing up on the streets of Compton dealing with drugs, gangs and police brutality.
On August 13th, N.W.A.'s story will hit the big screen to tell the behind the scenes story of how the group overcame their adversities and became Hip-Hop legends.
BONUS another N.W.A. hit, F Tha Police:

Money Karlo comes hard with new mellow track Don't Know Who to Love.
In the song Don't Know Who to Love, the Atlanta based Rapper/Producer talks about how love is like a drug when he is surrounded by so many sexy beautiful women in a strip club and seems to be having problems in deciding which woman to love. Hmmm when did guys start going to strip clubs looking for love lol.
The beat is smooth and the song is one of those songs you find your self singing the chorus.
