Don't know if there's already been a thread about this dude. I've got a good feeling about this guy. I'm hoping he's gonna break out and really do his thing soon. Loved his song with J Cole I heard on the radio a few months back and ended up youtube stalking him! His stuff is real nice, I think he's bringing something fresh into the R&B game. What do you think?

Check out his mixtape, some of the songs have a Prince influence: http://www.zshare.net/download/734944642184db7d/ (Direct from his twitter account, don't be afraid of the link!)

    That song he has with J. Cole is pretty tight. The video gets some decent shine on MTV Jams. I've heard conflicting stories about him performing live, though. Some say he's pretty good; some say he's kinda wack...in as far as his vocals during a live show, that is.

    i love "all i want is you" but i barely hear it on the radio. one of the few songs i like on the radio yet i barely hear it. but i can be sure to hear "love all over me" by monica 1200 times a day(? hate that song). anyways, i'm feelin his voice and we need more r&b soulful artists but he is not attractive, not that it matters but his eyes are too far up on his head or something.

    when i first hear his song he sounded like someone who's trying too hard. but the song started to grow on me a little. i like the video, all the florescent jewelry and outfits. he has a beautiful smile and he's kinda cute though

    I like All i want is you, but dude sounds bad live. I saw his Yankee stadium performance and it was lackluster.

    Lol, not feeling Monica huh? I don't find him attractive either, he looks kinda weird to me. But I think that's a good thing. I'm tired of male singers using how 'sexy' they are to build a fanbase, or should I be tired of the females who create that hype in the first place?

    Would you put that down to nerves or an indication of how he'll generally be as a performer? Haven't seen any of his performances, may check some out. I think he's supposed to be going on the road with Mary J soon.

    I listened to some of his music on youtube and im digging him a bit. His voice was stronger than "all i want is you" displays. I like "sure thing" dude is pretty nice. I have tix to the mary show in l.a. this week so i'll report back on his live performance.
