"R. Kelly - Skin"

In An Obvious Attempt To Move on From Previous Scandals, R. Kelly's New Project Seems To Be Well Under Way. Here Is A Brand New Leaked Track Called Skin.


While it keeps the same subject matter as nearly all recent Kelly ventures, this track, thankfully, feels a little less sleazy than previous songs. Skin is a real banger, nice production, good vocals, with a little help of the T-Pain style 'auto-tuner'.

I still can't say that I like R. Kelly, I think that his previous actions in life will always force me to dislike him as a person, but finally it seems I can start to like him as an artist again. Skin may not be a ground breaking effort, but it's a step in the right direction. Good all round!

"R. Kelly - Playas Get Lonely"

Code Blue Code Blue! Here Is A Brand New R. Kelly Track, Reportedly From His Up-Coming New Album - 12 Play: 4th Quarter. Here Is Playas Get Lonely.


As regular visitors will know, I am not a fan of Kells as a person & his recent music has been scrapping the bottom of the T-Pain barrel IMO. However, I am surprisingly impressed with this mid-tempo jam, Playas Get Lonely is really quite good.

The knocking production is complimented well with Kelly's reformed vocals, reminiscent, even if only slightly, of his former glory days. Not what I would call a masterpiece, but the short harmonies & rhythmic versus are a real pleasure to listen to. Thumbs Up!

R. Kelly Trial - NOT GUILTY

The Much Publicised Trial Of R&B Legend R. Kelly Is Over, He Has Been Found NOT GUILTY On 7 Of The 14 Charges & The Trial Acquitted.


The 14 charges against the singer were all regarding a video tape which allegedly showed Kells having sex with an under-age girl. There has been very conflicting evidence in the trial, with half the girl's family confirming it was her & the other half denying it.

At the 'end of play' on Friday afternoon, R. Kelly was cleared on the first 7 charges, & the trial was officially acquitted - check out the report below from the Associated Press:

Singer R. Kelly has been found not guilty on the first 7 of 14 counts at a child pornography trial. The jury deliberated less than a day...

...The jury — nine men and three women — was given the case Thursday.

The key question for the jurors was whether they believe it was Kelly in the video, as prosecutors contend. Kelly's attorneys say it wasn't him.


I have always assumed that Kells was guilty, the guy has gives me the creeps & let's remember that her has married a 15 Y/O girl by the name of Aaliyah! However, I am all for justice, & I think the matter should be laid to rest so Kelly can return to making proper music, not T-Pain rip-off tracks.

"R. Kelly - Hair Braider" (Video)

Damn! I Can't Honestly Believe He Is Releasing This Crap.

R. Kelly seems to me to be out of control, someone close to him needs to slap him round the face & tell him to get it together. Although not confirmed, it seems that Hair Braider will serve as the début single from Kell's new album - 12 Play Fourth Quarter.


R. Kelly - Hairbraider

The video is pretty standard, R. Kelly has never really been a master of music videos, however with a song like this, maybe he should have upped his game with the imagery.

Kelly seems intent on copying T-Pain rather badly, instead of expressing any musical charisma or creativity. At this time in his career, he should be less worried about growing a stupid beard & be more concerned with his lack of relevance in today's music, Kells used to be an innovator!

"R. Kelly - Touch My Body" (Remix)

"It's The Remix Killer" - Not My Words, But The Words Of R. Kelly On His Remix Of Mariah Carey's - Touch My Body... & Yes, You've Certainly Killed This One Off Kells!


OK, so it's not that bad, R. Kelly serves up some real nice harmonies, his vocal ability has never been questioned by myself. However the track just feels like a bad joint from The-Dream, or something that T-Pain couldn't be bothered to do.

Kell's seems to be determined to drum up some excitement around his new project, tentatively titled - 12 Play Fourth Quarter. I am more excited to see the outcome of his up-coming trial than I am about another egotistical, mediocre album.

"R. Kelly - Hair Braider"

R. Kelly Is Back With A New Track Entitled - Hair Braider. Now That Photo Makes Sense!


Now, don't be expect a good write up, I do not like R. Kelly, while I think he used to make amazing music, I have disliked him ever since that 'thing' with Aaliyah, who is probably my favourite artist of all time.

However, at first, I was with the party who said, 'innocent until proven guilty' & 'lets keep the music & the controversy separate'. That's until Kells started putting out crap, Hair Braider is more of the same, terrible, mindless garbage that sounds like a bad T-Pain impersonator.

I don't know who produced it, & frankly I don't care, it's boring as hell. It has no lyrical value & the autotuned vocals do nothing to help him out. I don't know what happened to make R. Kelly's music so bad, but he needs to get back that fire of the late 90s.

"Kanye West ft. Dwele & R. Kelly - Flashing Lights" (Remix)

Source - The Regulators

Here Is A New Remix To Kanye West's Current US Single; Flashing Lights.

R. Kelly lends some R&B vocals to this mix, end result is pretty middle of the road , laugh at Kells line - 'Flash Your Light On Me'.

I'm really not an R. Kelly fan, but if you are you will probably love it. I'm feeling the original much more, it's another epic Kanye track.
