Ashley Nicole - Pull The Plug
Since I've already got you in an R&B mood with the last two posts, I think it's the perfect time to introduce you to Atlanta singer-songwriter Ashley Nicole. If you're trying to recall where you've seen her from, you may have seen her performing on BET in '09 as part of Tiny & Toya's now disbanded group.
After being mentored by stars like Tiny (of Xscape), Ne-Yo and Usher, the songstress is ready to take the music world by storm as a solo artist. Check out the Boogie Wizzard penned and produced ballad "Pull The Plug" that captures the vulnerability one feels when making the decision to let go and end a relationship.

Tyrese - Fireworkz (Remix) feat. Big Sean, T.I. & Busta Rhymes
Tyrese mentioned earlier this month that he had a banger of a remix he was waiting patiently to drop, and here we have it right in time for New Years.

With Big Sean, T.I., AND Busta Rhymes dropping verses and David Banner on the production, it's pretty much a done deal.
