[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3888898&w=425&h=350&fv=] Sorry, had to let that loose. This morning on Good Day NY, Melanie Fiona’s sexy ass serenaded our TV screens. She performed her first single, “Give It To Me Right” off her new album The Bridge. In stores today.

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3887937&w=425&h=350&fv=] Can’t believe it’s 2009 and Ja’s still trying to make this record work. This reminds me, I heard Irv Gotti officially retired from the music biz. Can someone hit the kid and let me know the deal? Anyways, back to the music. I’m a sucker for a Beatles sample, but I think Jeffrey got beat by a brother from BK. WSHH
