Written by Mike Winslow on Wednesday, 06 May 2009 04:48

Sources have told AllHipHop.com that Dr. Dre's new brand of cognac will begin shipping to stores later this month and in the beginning of October.

Dr. Dre announced the details of his new line Aftermath Cognac in August of 2008. The first alcoholic drink from Dr. Dre is a joint venture between Dr. Dre and Interscope/Geffen/A&M Records.

The production and distribution of Aftermath Cognac will be handled by Abecassis Cognac, which will also help introduce a new 80-proof flavored and unflavored sparkling vodka product.

The Aftermath Cognac and accompanying vodka were originally supposed to be released to coincide with Dr. Dre's highly anticipated album Detox, which still has no official release date.

Dr. Dre teased fans during his performance with Eminem and Jay-Z at Detroit's Comerica Park, after they began chanting "Detox" in unison, in an attempt to push the produced to release the delayed album.

“I'm coming,” was all Dr. Dre told the crowd.

Detox is the follow-up to Dr. Dre's 1999 album 2001.

Trey Songz: Passion, Pain, & Pleasure

Written by Jay Cater on Wednesday, 06 May 2009 04:47

Coming off such a explosive third album and no longer looked at as an underdog Trey Songz takes full advantage of being R&B's #1 Artist right now and drops his fourth album titled Pain, Passion & Pleasure. Powered by the albums first single "Bottoms Up", Trey Songz seems to have done it again! With a mixture of "Pain, Passion & Pleasure" this album divides up into 3 different directions and creates incredible records such as "Can't Be Friends"(Pain), "Doorbell"(Passion) and "Unfortunate"(Pleasure). Songz also teams up with Drake on "Unusual" which is more of a uptempo record compared to the well known "Successful" from Ready". I think what separates Trey Songz and has him as one of the music industry hottest artist is his ability to create the perfect balance of party anthems that listeners can enjoy listening to like "Alone" to bedroom songs such as "Love Faces" & "Panty Droppa"(Full Version as a iTunes Bonus).
