Kalenna - "Lately" (Prod. by T-Minus)

Kalenna's been pretty heavy on her studio grind, and she's finally let one of the tracks out of the bag. On "Lonely," she may have a certain someone realizing they walked away from a pretty good thing as she continues to stunt on these hoes.

Stream the T-Minus produced track below, and hit the comments with your thoughts on "Lonely" by the Dirty Money diva.

It's #NewMusicMonday from Kalenna, and she doesn't disappoint with her new take on Jarren Benton's "Justin Bieber." She trades in the do-re-mi's for a hot sixteen, and I'm not mad about it at all. Can't imagine what's coming out next week.

Kalenna - Chamber Of Diaries [New Mixtape]

I often try to figure out what R&B is really missing, and I think I've finally figured it out: a lack of creativity, which hinders the evolution of the genre.

Thanks to Kalenna and her new mixtape free album Chamber Of Diaries, I don't think I ever have to worry about R&B's progression because the Philly bred singer-songwriter has enough creativity to share with the entire world. If "Matte Black Truck" and "Go To Work" are any indication, Chamber Of Diaries will provide an honest, uncensored portrayal of the many emotions we women experience.  With hard-knocking production, this is one the fellas are sure to love as well.

Stream and download Chamber Of Diaries below, and hit up the comments with your thoughts on Kalenna's new project!

Thankfully I was doing some twitter prowling and stumbled across this dope new video from R&B visionary Kalenna.  I've been cranking "Go To Work" for a minute now, and I can't wait until her new mixtape Chamber of Diaries drops in February.  For now enjoy "Matte Black Truck," the second viral video from the project, which shows the Philly bred singer animating her every lyric!

Kalenna - Go To Work [Music Video]

After years of being in the background as a songwriter, Dirty Money member Kalenna is branching out on her own to launch her solo career.  Her new single "Go To Work" is an edgy club track that will force you to get up and move.

The great thing about this song for me is that I was actually in the studio in Atlanta when some of it was being recorded. My prediction: Instant smash.  Watch the promo music video for "Go To Work" below, and be on the look out for more Kalenna!



DOPE. The style, the presentation, the cockiness. R&B needs this again. Hit the jump for a full stream of the "Go To Work!"
