ON THE RACKS: MARY J. BLIGE, YOUNG MONEY & EMINEM

It's Tuesday so you know what that means, new albums! These albums in paticular were released yesterday not today but moving on....


Mary J. Blige releases her 9th studio album Stronger with Each Tear while Eminem re-releases his album Relapse with five additional unreleased tracks.

The album has been dubbed The Refill and we could use a little more Eminem before we kick 2009 to the curb.

Young Money releases their album We Are Young Money. The album includes tracks like "EveryGirl In The World" and their new single "Bedrock". I have been listening to it from the start of the morning and I can honestly say thus far my favorite song is "Bedrock." The uncensored version of "EveryGirl In The World" is a bit much for my taste and that is JUST the tip of the iceberg, but I digress.

Happy listening!
