Mary J. Blige and John Legend have a lot in common. The obvious similarity - both are incredibly successful R&B artists. However, one can apply that same connection to an almost endless number of storied figureheads within the genre.

Andre did just that in 'The Love Below;' he used the influences of R&B with his Hip Hop expertise and created a work which will forever bridge the gap between R&B and Hip Hop.

It seems Pete Philly feels like he is always the outsider but he always makes us feel at home with his global mix of R&B, Hip Hop & Soul on stage or when we hear him on a track. His ability to mix sounds, rock the crowd and understand so many cultures is a testament to the power of a free flowing expression that could only be captured by music.

The George Lucas directed film 'Red Tails,' starring Ne-Yo, Terrence Howard, Method Man, Cuba Gooding Jr. and more, has exceeded expectations at the weekend box office.
