WONGIE DISCOVERY: dirty money - love come down / angels (feat notorious b.i.g.) / hurt (feat drake)

dirty money - love come down
[i'm not usually interested in the projects that diddy is associated with, but the idea of a trio featuring the rapper and two female vocalists (including dawn, ex-from danity kane) in the vein of soul II soul or loose ends, is very appealing to me. check out some of their releases!]


dirty money feat notorious b.i.g. - angels
[biggie... i just love his voice. as for this song, it's nice, but damn is the autotune in overdrive!]


dirty money feat drake - hurt
[really nice ballad here and featuring the ever so hot drake. maybe this will be the single that will take them to the zeitgeist level]
