Urban Noize Presents...Rihanna - Project R: The Audio-Biography [New Mixtape]

Last night, Rihanna took home two Grammys and performed her hit "We Found Love" and Coldplay's "Princess of China," which led me to think on how much Rihanna's career has progressed since she was introduced in 2005 with "Pon de Replay." I stumbled across Urban Noize's new mixtape Project R: The Audio-Biography, an audio journey of the Barbadian's progress, which includes both interviews and meaningful singles.

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!
