One of Atlanta's newest residents, Ne-Yo is back with some new music that I hear was remixed by Polow Da Don. While I can't confirm this information just yet, I still think it's a lot better than the original. What do you all think?

The original version didn't catch my attention at all. It sounded like something Rihanna would do and coming from homie I didn't think that was a good look. But when I heard the newest version that a reader emailed to me over the weekend that sh*t got uploaded to my iPod immediately. The beat is BANANAS

And here's the supposed remix. What y'all think? Is it a banger or should the prince of Def Jam go back to the drawing board? I hear the title of his new album is called "The Year Of The Gentleman" [Check out pics from the video shoot here.]

And while you're mulling that one over, all my aspiring entertainers need to be at Luckie Lounge on April 24th because Ciara, Lil' Wayne, Sean Garrett, and Teyana Taylor will be in the building.
