NEW MUSIC: Brandy's "Put It Down" feat. Chris Brown

#BOOM

Brandy just released her new single "Put It Down" featuring C.Breezy. For one, nice move after the VH1 "Behind the Music" episode premiere. I see the team is working strategically for Brandy. I like this song for B.Rocka. It's a nice balance between the sound the youth wants to hear with adult content for us grown and sexy folks. Adding the hottest R&B singer in the game right now is definitely a plus. And I love the animated promo picture for the single. Nice.

Do We Love?!

I hope the video matches what I'm visualizing in my head. If she gets this right, it could be a WIN for Ms. B Rocka!

Brandy's "Behind the Music" on VH1 [Video Trailer]

Brandy's episode of VH1's "Behind the Music" airs next week, Wednesday, April 25th! She will be discussing her rise to fame as the successful television actress and multi-platinum selling R&B singer that she is, also tackling some of the pivotal  points of her career.

Brandy was and still is one of my biggest inspirations musically but she has had to deal with some very harsh moments in her career with the fatal car accident she was involved in in 2006 and also lying to us about her marriage to her baby's father in 2003. I for one am going to be tuned into VH1 next week to get The Juice. We have all been waiting to hear Brandy tell her story.

I love you B.Rocka!

"Think Like A Man" Cast Does a HBCU Promo Tour!

I thought this was just a brilliant strategy to take what you would normally do for a music marketing grass roots promo campaign and turn into a film/movie grass roots promotions campaign. I LIVE for campaigns like this one! Shout to the ladies at 135th Street Agency. You are doing a wonderful job with the public relations, marketing and promoting of Steve Harvey's newest movie, "Think Like A Man."

They also visited North Carolina A&T, FAMU, Howard and Hampton University!

For those of you who are living under an entertainment rock, the movie is based off of Steve's best selling relationship advice book "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man" which stars Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy, Jerry Ferrara, Meagan Good, Regina Hall, Teraji P. Henson, Terrance J, Jennifer Lewis, Romany Malco, Gabrielle Union, and La La Anthony. It also has cameo appearances from Chris Brown, Wendy Williams, Sherri Sheppard, Nephew Tomy, Steve Harvey and much more. I mean, everybody is in this movie! The movie was directed by Tim Story and produced by Will Packer. 

I can not wait to go see this comedic film. Shout out to everyone who was involved in this project from the writers, actors and actresses, on down to the production assistants!
