Posted on April 26th, 2013 by ThisIsRnB in BEHIND THE SCENES, INTERVIEWS |

Super producer Danja has been sharing unreleased beats and songs for his ‘Throwback Thursdays’ series. For this weeks release the platinum hitmaker takes a slightly different approach. Sitting with singer/songwriter Kevin Cossom in the studio, the two reminisce and recollect the story of creating their #1 hit song “Knock You Down” by Keri Hilson.

Danja and KC reveal the song was originally created in a session at Daddy’s House in NYC for Bad Boy group Day 26, however it was passed on. Following that they played the song for Polow Da Don, who they claim, immediately fell in love with the track and thought it would be perfect for Keri.

Posted on April 9th, 2013 by ThisIsRnB in INTERVIEWS |

In a new clip from Eric Bellinger‘s chat with Rap-Up TV, the singer/songwriter shares some details about his work with Usher on his upcoming album. He explained the direction is more R&B, more Urban, and Usher has admitted, “This is the one where I have to show I’m still Usher.” Eric has been in the studio working with Jermaine Dupri, Bryan Michael Cox and Brian Alexander Morgan on tracks for the superstar.

If you weren’t aware Eric and Usher have formed a very strong working relationship. They recently collaborated on the Diplo-produced “Go Missin’” and previously worked on records including “Lemme See,” “I Care for U,” and our favorite, “What Happened To U” off Looking 4 Myself.

In addition to helping resurface the R&B side of superstars like Usher and Chris Brown, Eric has also been in the lab working with Keri Hilson on her new album. “We worked on a song with RoccStar and Timbaland that’s absolutely something that you haven’t heard. It’s just completely different,” said Bellinger, whose mixtape Born II Sing, Vol. III drops here on April 15. “Timbaland has come back and recreated his sound.”
