Thicke’s ‘Dirty It Up’ Won’t Be On Album

robin-thickescott-storch
Update: July 31st
„A blogger friend of mine contacted RT’s management to get the facts on the song. I’m not sure if it was Neil or not but he was told that the song was old and would not be on the album. He later removed the song from his site. He put up the explanation on his website and twitter site but I doubt any of the other sites care enough to correct it. They are not embarrassed by the song, they just don’t like anyone thinking it’s the first single or a new recording. They also think Scott Storch was the one to leak it. Some of the links have been removed but once something hits the net, you can never get it back.“ Thanks To Cynic27.

Update: July 27th
Robin Thicke is currently  working on his 4th Studio Album which is due end of the year and a new Thicke track just leaked called “Dirty It Up” produced by Scott Storch, pretty nice tune sounds unfinished though and its good to see  Storch back producing.

Clipse To Work On Dr. Dre’s Detox?

clipse_dr-dre
Virginia duo The Clipse are known just as well for their cocaine affiliation as they are for their clever rhymes about the street life and what to do with all that money. However I just got word this morning that the two may be checking into Detox or already have. Of course I’m talking about the long awaited mythical Detox album from Dr. Dre. The album is said to be near completion after a decade and the finishing touches are now being put on it.

The Clipse I’m hearing were called in  last weekend and instantly agreed to be a part of the project, writing for Dre. Other people known to be working on Detox are of course Eminem, 50 Cent, and others such as Jay-Z, and even Kanye West. I’m not sure I even care about this album anymore. I’m just waiting for it to drop, if it ever will and that’s it. in any case though this is definitely a good look for The Clipse. These two deserve any kind of shine they get so congrats to them.

Avery Storm: Nelly & Pharrell Approved

avery-storm
You know that Avery Storm’s first solo album is going to be interesting when, prior to its September release, some of his recent efforts include one of the few remixes of Jay-Z’s “Death of Autotune” off the Jiggaman’s soon-to-be-heard, Blueprint 3. Avery is among a handful of producers who somehow got his hands on the instrumental, then overlaid vocals. His remixing talent is just a taste of what’s to come, though. Avery recently played me a batch of new material off his new album, Shotgun Love, at Quad Studios in New York. The songs are filled with the kind of beats ideal for summertime blasting from cars and clubs both. The songs are hot, and Nelly seems to think so too. After all, Shotgun Love is being released on the rapper’s Derrty Entertainment label with a slew of guest producers and artists. Pharrell backs him too—not so bad to have two heavyweights already in your corner.

Avery is still figuring out the album’s sequence; he has a mere 300 tracks to choose from. “The way I’m going to narrow it down is what is most accurate to me at the moment and most true. But I’m pretty much already there and know what it’s going to be—about 13 songs in total.” Avery played me the album’s single, “Not Like My Girl,” featuring rapper Rick Ross with The Runners producing, plus “Terrified” featuring Jadakiss, “My Life”, “Mistakes”, and the album’s namesake intro “Shotgun Love.” “Terrified” is my personal favorite; it’s heavy, and hearing it for the first time in a soundproof studio at highest possible volume with Avery singing along was certainly an experience.
