"The Unseen Mechanism"
This past Final Friday at the Liquid Lounge the man that is most wanted when it comes to Dallas collaborations dropped HIS solo debute Chucky Sly "The Unseen Mechanism". This title is so appropriate because Chucky has been unseen in the making of the Dallas Hip Hop scene. He has lent his rap skills and singing voice to many and is the go to guy to bring the island flavor to a project. The new project is a great representation of who he is a artist and the producers he's worked with have done a fantastic job in creating the framework. Don't take my word for it hit the link below and take a listen to the album. I've included the the tracklisting of the men/women who put in work on what I think will be the Dallas Hip Hop album to have from 2009.

I almost forgot: Chuck's performance was epic, he came dressed to impress so I had to kid him and tell him he "wasn't hip hop". He performed like a man on a mission and the Final Friday crowd game him as much love has he's given to the scene. In the house to celebrate the album release were Shabazz 3, DJ Jay*Clipp(True School, Mo Brown (Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights), R.C.(E. Badu music director & Jam Sessions @ Prophet Bar), Pikahsso, Vincent Tucker, Peoples Lunch Counter(Seidah, Rage & Satori), HeadKrack(The Rickey Smiley Show)& the Ra'Koo family. Big thank you to the Aziatik Teem family for holding down the Dallas Hip Hop scene for the past 10 years with the Final Friday event.

Rhianna "Rated R" The Wait is Ova

RIHANNA’s NEW ALBUM - RATED R - HITS MONDAY, NOV. 23rd




**“Russian Roulette,” first new single pick –written by Ne-Yo – launches worldwide Oct. 20th on radio and on official Rihanna website
**“Russian Roulette” video to premiere on ABC-TV
**Long-awaited follow-up to 2007’s worldwide multi-platinum Good Girl Gone Bad

(October 20, 2009 – New York, NY) The wait is ova – for one of the most hotly anticipated new albums in recent history, as multi-platinum, award-winning Def Jam recording artist Rihanna announces the completion of her fourth original studio album, Rated R, scheduled to arrive in the physical and digital marketplace on Monday, November 23rd.

Rated R’s first single pick, “Russian Roulette” will be launched at 11:23am EST on October 20th worldwide on http://rihannanow.com. The “Russian Roulette” video, directed by Anthony Mandler, will premiere in prime-time on ABC.

“Russian Roulette” was written and produced by fellow Def Jam artist Ne-Yo, whose long track record with Rihanna includes the #1 hit “Unfaithful” (2006, from A Girl Like Me), their Top 10 duet “Hate That I Love You” (2007, from Good Girl Gone Bad), and #1 pop/ #1 R&B “Take A Bow” (2008, from Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded). In addition to Ne-Yo, other producers and writers on Rihanna’s new album include the team of The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, Chase & Status, Stargate, Justin Timberlake and more.

Rated R is the long-awaited follow-up to Good Girl Gone Bad (May 2007), which contained the non-stop string of hit singles that began with the MTV VMA and Grammy Award-winning global #1 hit “Umbrella” (featuring Jay-Z), then “Shut Up and Drive,” “Hate That I Love You” (featur­ing Ne-Yo), and “Don't Stop the Music.” Good Girl Gone Bad spent 98 total weeks on the Soundscan chart, earned cumulative sales of more than 36-times platinum in at least 20 territories around the world, and spun off the CD+DVD package Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded (January 2009) – which continued the string of hits with the #1 “Take A Bow,” and the #1 “Disturbia.”

Good Girl Gone Bad was the third album release in less than two years by the 21-year old Barbados native Rihanna. It followed-up 2006’s RIAA platinum A Girl Like Me, which contained the back-to-back hits, “S.O.S.” and “Unfaithful”; and her RIAA gold debut from 2005, Music Of the Sun, featuring the world-wide smash, “Pon De Replay.”
