"Love King" The-Dream Plans A Second Album, Plus Watch Melanie Fiona's "Give It To Me Right" Video & Download DJ Jaycee's Eargasms 6!

Maybe it's inspiring having Christina Milian around... because The-Dream says he's on pace to release a second album before the end of 2009.
According to Billboard.com Dream has already completed seven records for the project, tentatively titled Love King and is looking at a December release.
"I have to pace myself 'cause there's so much time between here and then," The-Dream says, "but the seven records I do have are timeless records. Whether they come out now or later it's not really going to matter what kind of records they are."
I'll be the first to admit that Love VS. Money was a great album (after just a few months it's certified gold), but saying you have 7 timeless records is really saying something. Do you believe him?
While Mariah Carey, Lil Jon and Kanye West joined him on the second album, so far The-Dream says no features are lined up for the next album.
"Usually it's one of those things where I kinda wait," he explains. "I wait 'til the end, and then who's ever doing their thing at that particular time, that's who I get."
Who would you like to see him work with? I need to hear him and Christina on something other than that "Amazin'" freestyle. I'd also love to hear him with Rihanna.
The-Dream begins his tour with Keyshia Cole Wednesday in Cincinnati, where he plans to provide fans with "a bigger Dream," complete with four dancers and a five-piece band and plans to film a DVD at some point during the tour, which ends June 21 in Keyshia's hometown Oakland, CA. He's also plotting a cover of Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana."
Dream's last three albums seem to have borrowed a lot of inspiration from Jackson, along with Prince and R.Kelly. How did you feel about songs like "Walking On The Moon" and "Kelly's 12 Play"?
In addition to his album Dream is currently working with Mariah Carey, Brandy, Christina Milian and Diddy, who he says has a record called "Change" that The-Dream calls, "probably one of the best male records I've ever written...the best record I've written besides 'Umbrella.'"
And a moment I know I've been waiting for has finally arrived. Melanie Fiona's video for "Give It To Me Right". Check it out below:
Melanie Fiona - Give It To Me Right
I love Melanie's voice, but I also think she's really refreshing as an artist. Very down to earth and laidback! I wish her much success!
And if you hadn't already heard, more pictures of Cassie leaked on the net -- this time waist down photos with her legs cocked up and a vaginal piercing on display. Freaky little thing aren't we Cass? And no, I'm not posting the picture.
It's Friday and I never leave you emptyhanded for the weekend. Enjoy DJ Jaycee's "Eargasms 6" below:
You can hear Jaycee weekdays at noon on Atlanta's V-103 radio station or website. You can also download all of his mixes (including Eargasms) at http://eargasms.podomatic.com
Have a great Friday, I'll be back with another post this afternoon!

Walkin on the Moon is a great song. cant wait until he actually makes a video for it.
A Dream & Rihanna collab sounds real good.
Personally, I don't it's a good idea for artist to drop 2 albums in the same year. I just don't think they would sell as much as they would if they would wait til the public is yearning for anothe album.And I have a feeling this album is gonna ride out til the end of this year...He should drop that album in the Fall of 2010. Just my opinion, I could be all wrong, but Plies showed that, it really didn't workout (I know, bad comparison)..
Man please... I'm glad you aint post any nekkid pics of Cassie.. You would of fucked my whole day up..She only has a beautiful face (before the half of head shave).. Her body is oh so lame..And we know damn well that she leaked her own photos..
Why would a hacker leak photo's of you one day, then decide to leak more photo's another day???
Then, what hackers would want to leak any pics of this chick??? I could see if they went for Beyonce, Rihanna or even Ciara's lame body having ass...
But Cassie??? The only person interested in that chick is P.Shitty....Dude probably haves his way with her any and everytime he wants..She's his fucking cum deposit box...Yeah, I fucking said it...
Oh, and just the other day I said "What WTF does Teyanna Taylor do" cause I've been seeing this chick constantly but have not heard one song from her...Yo, I just checked out this Youtube video of her dancing to "Single Ladies" (Yeah, I know already), but she killed it, did a better job than Beyonce...
Now, I knew her body was tight, but I aint no her body was like that...Yo fellas, peep the link below and tell me what you think..
Who has the better body, Teyanna or Rihanna???
LMAO @ Teyanna & Rihanna cause their names ryhme and they look alike to me..Teyanna looks like the hood version of RiRi but still fine at the same time...
I'm gonna have to go with Teyanna, simply cause her ass is phat!
I have to say, I like the Melanie Fiona. She doesn't really sound like anyone else out right now (a good thing)...BTW, I picked up the new Chrisette Michelle, and its ridiculous. Fragile, Blame It, Mr. Right, and Its Okay are my favs so far...
Rihanna and The Dream have already collaboed on Livin A Lie on the Love/Hate disc. Or am I mistaken?
