~ Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow [DJ Ammo Remix] ~ So I went to go see G.I. Joe yesterday, and I fully enjoyed it. Lots of action, a good storyline, and iuno.. I was just wholly entertained the whole time, which few movies manage to do these days. To top it all off, this awesome remix of the Black Eyed Peas' Boom Boom Pow played as the credits rolled. Talk about sealing the deal for me lol (you guys know how much I love the Peas). [...]

~ Mario - Highway To Love ~ Highway To Love is a new track that's set to appear on Mario's upcoming album D.N.A. It's been compared to Chris Brown's Forever because of it's feel-goood tone and lyrics. I like. *adds to iPod* Listen: Link 1 / Link 2

~ Keri Hilson [ft. Keyshia Cole & Teyana Taylor] - Get Your Money Up ~ Below you can listen to the original version of Get Your Money Up , which has Teyana Taylor on the rap verse instead of Trina. I don't know what led to the rapper switch, but I much prefer this version to that on the album. Listen: Link 1 / Link 2

~ Trey Songz [ft. Drake] - Successful ~ I'm sure a lot of you know of the song Successful off of Drake's acclaimed mixtape So Far Gone , featuring Lil Wayne and Trey Songz.

Check it out below, and watch out for the music video in the weeks to come. Listen: Link 1 / Link [...]

~ David Guetta [ft. Will.i.am] - I Wanna Go Crazy ~ Crazy with these single releases, that is! This time, the track I Wanna Go Crazy featuring BEP frontman Will.i.am was released to iTunes. Shoot, I've loved every track I've heard from his upcoming album One Love . Be sure to cop it when it drops - you know I will. Listen: Link 1 / Link 2

~ Amerie - Heard 'Em All ~ Amerie comes hard with her new single Heard 'Em All off her upcoming album In Love & War . This track is straight funky! I hope it does well on the charts, she deserves it. 1 Thing should not have been her only big hit. Listen: Link 1 / Link 2

Here it is, the fourth official "In The Mix" post. Hope you guys enjoy! ~ Mariah Carey [ft. Dem Franchize Boyz] - Say Somethin' [So So Def Remix] ~ Jermaine Dupri switches up Mariah's Say Somethin' in this hard-hitting urban remix. Waaaay better than the original in my opinion. This is definitely one to bump in the car. ~ Backstreet Boys - Everybody [Bar Saraf Remix] ~ I know what you're all thinking... "c'mon Chris, the BACKSTREET BOYS?" Shoot, I know a lot of you are in the [...]

~ David Guetta [ft. Chris Willis] - Gettin' Over ~ David Guetta joins forces once again with Chris Willis (whom he collaborated with on the song Love Is Gone ) for the track titled Gettin' Over off of his upcoming album One Love . It actually sounds almost exactly the same as Love Is Gone at the beginning, with Chris' verse and that same instrumental that was sampled in the Black Eyed Peas' hit I Gotta Feeling . Listen: Link [...]

~ Eminem - Warning ~ In response to Mariah's Obsessed which was a track aimed towards him, Eminem comes out with the song Warning , a full-out diss track to Ms. Carey. Dunno about you guys, but this "beef" is goin' on a bit too long. The song's sick though, lol. Listen: Link 1 / Link 2

I guess you can say I'm on a roll lol. Here's "That's Mashed Up!" numero eight. ~ Finger Eleven vs. Chris Cornell - Part Of Me Is Paralyzed ~ [NEW!] Here's something new, I'm starting to get into using rock tracks in my mashups. This time, it's the vocals from Finger Eleven's Paralyzer mixed with the Timbaland-produced beat of Chris Cornell's Part Of Me . ~ Soulja Boy vs. Ciara - Like A Soulja Boy ~ I remember randomly putting these 2 songs together back in the [...]

~ Robin Thicke - Dirty It Up ~ Dirty It Up is a track off Robin Thicke's upcoming fourth studio album. It reminds me of the funk he brought with the single Magic off of the album Something Else . Listen: Link 1 / Link 2

~ Mr. Hudson - White Lies ~ White Lies is said to be the second single off of Mr. Hudson's upcoming album Straight No Chaser , executively produced by Kanye West. Great song, likin' it as much as the lead single Supernova . I'll definitely be watching out for this album. Listen: Link 1 / Link 2

Ah, look at what the summer does to me. I actually make regular posts! Lol. Here's the 7th installment of "That's Mashed Up". ~ Fergie vs. Black Eyed Peas - Clumsy City ~ [NEW!] Is it really right to say Fergie vs. the Black Eyed Peas? Lol.

~ Sean Kingston - Face Drop ~ Face Drop is set to be the second single from Sean Kingston's upcoming album Tomorrow . In my opinion, it's a step down from lead single Fire Burning . Just sounds generic, and a bit too "happy" to me. When I read "Face Drop", I was expecting some mean, dirty club banger or something... iuno lol. Listen: Link 1 / Link 2

~ Mariah Carey [ft. Gucci Mane] - Obsessed [Video] ~
