It looks like we may have underestimated the powers of Keri Hilson. Either that or Rihanna just wasn't available to make the video shoot for Kardinal Offishall's "Numba 1 (Tide is High)". You may remember me posting versions of the song with both Rihanna and the Pussycat Dolls, well now it looks like the public at large will be listening to the Keri Hilson version, thanks to the new Gil Green directed video.

Behind the scenes footage from the shoot below.






And it looks like Keri has gotten herself some more press.




Homegirl appears in the latest issue of Nylon. Keep up the good work Keri, we'll be expecting a lot from that album December 9th, please don't disappoint!





The Rebel is starting a new segment on SOHH Soulful called Fan Mail. Email me letters to your favorite and least favorite artists telling them what you are feeling and not feeling about their work at sohh.soulrebel@gmail.com. I'll be running a new letter ever Wednesday.


 This week's letter comes from "Sam" and it's directed at Shontelle.

Sam says:

 Dear Shontelle, Your song "T-Shirt" is a remake of "With You" by Chris Brown. Stop.


Hmm, interesting thought Sam. I honestly never noticed a similarity, but let's compare.
 

Shontelle "T-Shirt"

 




Chris Brown "With You"

Sam may be on to something. There is some similarity there, but I don't think Shontelle is a rip off -- in fact, I'm hoping she'll knock Rihanna out of the top Bajan girl spot.



Last but not least Eric Benet sent me another Kyte video of him acting silly on tour. Now don't y'all all go out and buy crackberry's just cuz he got one!
