This album speaks of the movements in America. The song "Amerykahn Promise" introduces the album with "The Healer" saying that hip-hop is bigger and bigger, with which is grows in each day. "Me" is the song spoken by Erykah, dedicated to her mother "Kollen Gibson Wright". "My People" chants the lyrics, "hold on my people" however at the end of the song, it is believed that either "Malcolm X" or "Martin King Jr" is speaking about "change". "Soldier" speaks about a people with everyday struggles in America, which has agreeing that America needs to change. "The Cell" follows up as the next song, the chorus says "Brenda done died with no name, nickel bag coke to the brain, will they ever find the vaccine?, shifty-damn-damn-baby-bang, rich man got the double barrell, po man got his back to the door.., code white stand for trouble.., shots from the po-po,". "Twinkle" started with a rhyme from old ancient times, which is followed up with "Master Teacher". The track that says, "I'll stay woke until the sun rise". "That Hump" is where Erykah says, "I just want to fly/far away/far away..". "Telephone" is an amazing song inspired by a story told to Erykah by, "Ma Dukes" Yancey on the day Dilla transitioned. "Honey" is the first single, where Erykah talks about a boy being so sweet as her favorite drink (honey). "Real Thang" is the bonus track of the album, which tells you not to let anyone run your life.
Nicole Wray - Lose Your Mind
This new song is a club banger. This song was intended to released on InDepenDance Day: Vol. 2. The song is 3:13 long which is featured on DJ 2Mello's mixtape "Who's The King Again: Vol. 5". However it is unknown whether Ms. Wray will still release the mixtape or delay it for another year. Because for everyone who thinking that Nicole is not doing anything, well she is in the studio non-stop trying to work on getting that album done. She wants to make sure that it's the number one album of the year. I believe the Nicole has already made her comeback. Because she recently released her first mixtape, InDepenDance Day: Vol. 1 The Takeover.

"Although the track is not like any other Ashanti song heard before, I tried to please her already established fan base by maintaining the classic Ashanti style while at the same time indulging a new audience with an upbeat, exciting feel on this upcoming single," says Migs. Migs also worked his magic on the irresistible "Satisfy," another track from The Vault.

Jill Scott - My Love
My Love is also one of my favorite tracks. Please get the album, The Real Thing: Words and Sounds Vol. 3, if you have not bought it. Buy it at your local Wal-Mart and CD stores.
Jill Scott - All I
All I from Jill Scott's fourth album, The Real Thing: Words and Sounds Vol. 3, is now gaining airplay. Go and request the song more, she needs more support to help her go Platinum. This is a really nice song. This is like the slow jam track of her album. I also like "Wanna Be Loved" which is also one of my favorites.
Ashanti's Next Single "So Over You"
Should Ashanti's next single be "So Over You". She got a lot of good songs on her "The Declaration" album, but still "So Over You" sounds more accurate for the radio. Now songs like "Struggle", "Mother", "Your Gonna Miss", and "The Declaration" should follow up as the album's last singles.
