The R.E.D Album.


This album has said to contain features with Lil Wanye, Tyler, the Creator, Rick Ross, Lupe Fiasco, Nelly Furtado and confirmed feature with Chris Brown.
Producers on the album The Neptunes, DJ Premier, Kanye West, Hi-Tek, Timbaland, Swizz Beatz... the list goes on. I've counted 43-44.


New released single featuring Chris Brown from the new album which is dropping August 23, 2011.




Dropped single:


"Ain't No Doubt About It" Featuring Justin Timberlake & Pharrell.
This single was said to have been dropped due to being leaked and lack of chart success. It was released on May 18, 2010, there was a video ready for the official release but after the leak it was released the year after on July 2, 2011
We hear that this ex-single could be on his The Red Room mixtape leading up to the album.

Mixbird: 

Just came across a great new website for mixtapes, this site has nothing on Dat Piff or Hot New Hip Hop with there vast collection of music but if your prefer R&B and Hip/R&B then this is a good site. There lacking in a catalog of mixtapes but have a great page "singles" with some of the latest in music singles which seems to be a main focus of the site. The other two sites have the same option but their new release music pages doesn't feel as main focused or as frequently updated as on Mixbird.

Finally added this to my music collection. 
If the album compares anything to the released track "black hand side" then welcome home another hip-hop classic, so here goes track one...


Single: Clap featuring Showtyme and DJ Boogie Blind

 "If I pull this @pharoahemonch and @herfavcolor jam off.....man listen....#TheWonderYears"
Can't wait to here this collaboration.

Post update:

On track 7 out of 13 and this is already a classic, I haven't even played every song and its won me over. No need for an in depth review, only thing you need is this album.
My rating 8/10
