Many have done it but Ayo does it for the hood just like her fans likes it because she is using smart marketing tactics in her song title, style choices and all the way up to the blue streak in her hair. Sure there are other songs entitled Feeling Myself and so many female Artist have followed Lil Kim's style too. That is why I am not surprised Ayo is wearing a Dark Tan Romper and matching her blue streak hair with her outfit which certainly makes me think of Lil Kim's 90's style in today's t...

Belvedere Vodka announced their partnership with "The Highly Anticipated James Bond Film" called Spectre, with a DJ on the turntables and lots hoopla. Now it's Jay Z's turn to make an announcement of his own. We believe it will have something to do with his new Tidal Business Deal, a streaming service.

The 40/40 Clubs Facebook Page is encouraging everyone to tune in to the live stream announcement at 5pm E time. I am assuming the event will stream on You Tube. Until then, here are a few images...

We love that all of our up and coming Artist from New Orleans and elsewhere are doing their things. Except they are not alone in their grind to the top, well known Celebrities are fighting to keep their spot at the top. Like most New Artist they want to be recognized and acknowledged and Schoolboy Q just got singled out in a good way. The Video Music Awards may be just the place for him to win big among his peers in the Music Industry.

He's on their list as an Artist to Watch with his Man Of...

It's not just television for this red head beauty! Her accented vocals run smoothly over music tracks with country girl ease and we keep loving her classic sound.

We shared the video for Consider Me Gone here on Abornewords sometime ago. Now we want to tell you why you should listen to the rest of the album. One essential line won me over on Consider Me Gone. "If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose"....Everyone has been here either through an admonishment(warning) or the act ...

The excitement is in the air everytime there is talk of a New release, especially coming from Rappers in New Orleans. We are waiting on that Triggerz Got No Heart from Nice Gunz.

It's obvious that mainstream media has their favorites. We do to at Abornewords. That's why we had to call your attention to a Freestyle Nice Gunz released recently. His goal was not only to show off his Rap Flow, he wanted to give his followers something to carry them through, until the mix tape drops on Thanksg...

After hearing Kanye West perform on SNL (Saturday Night Live) it's obvious that he is ready to give all of himself to his new project. Huffington Rost reported recently that the whold album is already finished and since Kanye has been dropping single after single, we believe it's true.

Black Skinhead is sure to become a new favorite for Kanye West Fans. The song does not disappoint! Even though it's coming from a Rap Artist and considered to be a product of the genre, it just sounds like good...

There have been many songs created in the Big Easy by talented artist who could have really made major headway on a national level, but because of the unique culture and in part lack of effort on the part of many local artist, the amount of success received was only leveled throughout New Orleans and the state of Louisiana. Artist like Jubilee and TT Tucker are some local artist who worked the Independent to the maximum. Block Party DJ's know how to get it cracking for the hood. Radio stati...

It's no time like the present to present some music that is totally expressive of an idea we all are familiar with but one that is often not followed in this world full of eye candy. It's nothing wrong with putting it all out there, as long as you remember what love should be and what it should really mean when you find that one who feels like your other rib in reality, mind, or spirit. Take a listen at Prima J on Inside Out.

That feeling you have about the love of your life. You know it exist, but for some reason you can't put it into words. Well, take a look at someone who managed to say it loud enough for everyone to hear!

In the song E.T. she verbalizes her feelings and one word keeps vibrating over and over again in my eardrum, alien. That word alone should take your thought process into UFO mode or at least put you on the moon as your heart is focused on the love of your life. Feel the high of life a...

We can't get enough of Shingai Shonia over here at Abornewords and today we want you to marinate on the sweet sounds of this talented singer. Make an investment into your music collection and get something that balances everything out. I told you before that you need to have this soulful music.

Everyone has a way or style to use when getting it good. Down into something deep, and a profound sense of self. You know you do it! Stop trying to play innocent because I brought it up. It's how you dance to your favorite song, or the way you wear your hair on a fist date. That thing about you that you don't mind sharing. Alter ego perhaps? Whatever you want to call it. I bring it up here only because I am privileged to be in the process of getting to know a lot of talent, and the door is op...
