Drake f. Alicia Keys, “Fireworks” MP3

If we were to suggest that Drake and Alicia Keys formed their own supergroup called Intermix would people riot? Would another crossover between Drizzy and A. Keys be too much to handle—kinda like when you eat pop rocks with soda in an attempt to see if your stomach really will explode? You know what else would explode: Drake if he actually fell in love any time within the next ten years. Lets be real dude you’re hotter than Usain Bolt’s socks and you want to settle down? Girls experience spontaneous combustion at the mere thought of being in the same room as you. You are at your peak of heartthrob-ness. Stop being silly. On another note to Alicia: that’s what she said.

Alicia Keys f. Drake, “Unthinkable (I’m Ready)” Remix MP3
We were satisfied with Drake layered underneath the “Unthinkable” original but we have never been ones to turn down a Drake verse. We will however question the validity of Drake being worried about being single for the rest of his life when he’s only 23. Some of us are about that age and we do not need any more reasons to panic. 23-year-olds have issues like: school loans, not being able to fit dance shoes (or leotards) anymore and early hair loss. It could be a catalyst to being single in your 30s! Prioritize Drizzy!

Video: Alicia Keys “Unthinkable (I’m Ready)”
As a biracial person, Alicia Keys could basically be telling the story of her parents in this video. Well, her’s in reverse but still a great direction. It may seem silly to think there would be issues about interracial couples in this “non-racist” world we’re supposed to be living in but I think we all know that’s quite false.
We’re just happy that Alicia took a rather unexpected route with this because the song is fantastic. Although we were kind of hoping for a cameo from Drizzy but we’ll take Chad Michael Murray. Only if he gets rid of the mullet though because no matter what decade it is, that is never acceptable. He kinda deserves an ass whoopin’ for that alone. Anyway, song and video are perfect. If you disagree let us know in the comments.

Alicia Keys f. Vybz Kartel, “Unthinkable RMX” MP3
The behind-the-scenes video for Alicia’s latest slow-burner came out today, and it looks like a strife-ridden homage to West Side Story. More cynical folk might bring up Swizzy right about now, but we at Suite903 are all about love, requited and solid. Also, this song has been responsible for the births of one hundred babies. Dancehall hero Vybz Kartel hopped on the beginning of “Unthinkable” at the behest of NYC DJ Cipha Sounds, and he turned down his usually gruff bleat for a little one-on-one rubdown appropriate for Keys’ sensual vocals. Maybe we should bring up Swizzy now—watch out for Vybz, dude, he’s a sly one! Listen after the jump.
CYRIOUSLY: The Future Is Now…
Hopefully by this point, readers have been able to take some of my postings with a grain of salt (and a gulp of Mountain Dew) because I have no intent on slowing down my mind flow and speaking freely. Cyrus x seriousssssly, man…so with that being said, I want to take a quick moment and focus on the future of R&B.
CYRIOUSLY: Sex, Lies & Studio Sessions
(laugh)
When it all boils down, I’m still torn between trying to understand whether or not these “sex tapes” based off R&B singers are staged or legit.
In case you haven’t noticed, it’s “Return of the Mac……..” style with this posting, nothing but random thoughts splurged with R&B themes. Well, in all actuality I suppose we have yet to come across an R&B “sextape,” but the compilation of these Rihanna and Cassie photos which consumed the ‘net just a few months back is still damping my dome piece, so let’s roll with it, @CyrusKLanghorne.
CYRIOUSLY: Love Vs. Heartbreak
Welcome back and to some of errryone who never left, sorry for the lack of updates during the holiday rush!
Yes, 2010 is here and now that a(nother) decade is long and gone, it is time for me to come clean about something which has overtaken my mind, body and soul like Pier 1 CDs. (Come on, I can’t be ‘that’ alone on the reference, chea?)
Kanye West’s 808s & Heartbreak” < Andre 3000’s The Love Below
Sure, you could use the argument of time difference or maybe even keep on reading a few more lines to see what I’m really sayi here, but it’s quite simple and plain….Kanye straight JACKED Andre 3000’s dopest concept to date.

You really couldn’t get more emotional about the city of New York unless you personally helped build the subway. Colbert gets it in with his all-black-everything, shouting out gated communities and Connecticut. You know, just like we all live. Neighbors with 50! Shout to Times Square!
