Like many of you, I was skeptical when Wayne Brady said he was putting out an album, but I am here to say he delivered. We always knew the guy could sing… seriously sing, but this album is a real revelation. From a soulful cover of Sam Cook’s “A Change is Gonna Come” to his own smooth R&B crooning on songs like “Ordinary” and “All Naturally”, this album deserves a listen.
Don’t get me wrong there are a couple of syrupy moments, but there are also moments that soar above what is being pawned off for R&B these days. Brady’s “F.W.B” leaves you thinking Bryan McKnight and there is nothing bad about that. In hopes that there is a CHANGE coming for this country, click on the link below and listen to Brady work with this Sam Cooke Classic.

They were once close friends but now rapper Foxy Brown is expressing her disappointment with her failed friendship with rapper Jay-Z.
In an interview with XXL magazine Brown says Jay hasn’t always been there for her when she’s needed him most. “I’ve been incarcerated for eight months, and Jay’s been everywhere, and he hasn’t mentioned one thing about, ‘Tell her I love her. Tell her to be strong.’ That broke my heart more than anything.”
Foxy says while in jail friends and family visited her but there was person she expected to see who never came. “When they sent me to jail, I just knew he would be there - everyone came. But he never showed up.”
