Hip-hop artiste Beyonce has release a brand new single Best Thing I Never Had, the latest in an installment of songs for her anticipated summer album 4. This June 1st release of Best Thing I Never Had comes on the heels of the recent Run the World (Girls), which still have music lovers and fans of the singer expressing different opinions as to its superstar impact and after 5 weeks on the Billboard 100 chart is rank at 50.
Best Thing I Never Had however has this catchy chorus and this spunk about it, which would explains the Billboard 100 recording as getting one of the greatest airplay and sales gains this week.
One line from B’s Best Thing I Never Had apart from the chorus that is literally stuck in my head is: “When I think of the time I almost loved you/ You showed your ass and I saw the real you”).
Here is the words to the chorus i know you’re gonna wanna have:
“I wanted you bad/ I’m so through with it/ Cuz honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had/ You turned out to be the best thing I never had/ And I’m gon’ always be the best thing you never had/ I bet it sucks to be you right now.”
Check out the song below and tell me what you thing!

Fresh from completing a degree in psychology at the Florida International University, Sanjay returned to Jamaica some years ago to pursue music which is his heartbeat and one true love. Many viewed his musical ambition with skeptism, he had to be an educated uptown yute with too much time on his hands or a wannabe DJ whose interest would burn out fast. Some may even cite his current work in TV as a presenter and producer as proof of him not being serious about his music.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Sanjay, a long term planner who is always looking towards the bigger picture, is grateful for his opportunities and experience learning and collaborating with industry talents such as Luciano, Vybes Kartel, Tami Chynn, Aidonia and Ce’Cile. The knowledge he received from working with producers like Christopher Birch, Steven McGregor, Mikey Bennett and Arif Cooper has helped to broaden his musical horizons considerably and inspired him to learn about all aspects of the music.
His time behind the camera as a producer for TV shows such as The Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall has given him a keen appreciation for the value of team work and good production work. His stint before the camera as host for TVJ’s Intense has introduced his charismatic personality into the homes and hearts of thousands of Jamaicans.
Sanjay’s dedication to the industry is even more evident by the fact that he has now started his own record label ‘Portland Cottage Productions’ named for his place of birth and from this label has released his latest single the very infectious ‘love the way you move’ for which he performs lead vocals alongside upcoming singer J Edge. The video for ‘love the way you move’ was directed by Ian Guthrie and Carl Durrant.
‘Love the way you move is my way of saying to Jamaica that music is still and will always be my number one passion’ Sanjay stated. ‘I am serious about getting better and working with genuinely talented people like J Edge and most importantly I wanted this single to show all the people who have supported me from the beginning that I am appreciative of the love and acceptance no matter what hat I am wearing,’ he concluded

Hip-hop performer Wyclef Jean, has been hospitalised for stress.
Wyclef Jean, the Haitian Activist, Rapper and Producer, has been hospitalised for stress.
A spokesperson for the man who recently failed in his bid for the Haitian presidency said that the Hip-hop performer was checked into a hospital in an undisclosed location over the weekend.
Jean, who is slated to release a new album in February and launch a corresponding world tour, was said to be suffering from stress and fatigue. His spokesperson Marian Salzman attributed it to ” the gruelling eight weeks he’s had,” when he confirmed his bid to run for President of his homeland Haiti.
Electoral authorities however deemed him ineligible because he did not meet residency requirements.
The rep for the artiste said he plans to “take it easy” and should be released later this week.

Dancehall artiste LA Lewis claims he has been the victim of an unfair fight in the industry ever since his much-publicised altercation with Beenie Man. This fight, he says, is coming from radio personalities and DJs who will stop at nothing to hinder his development.
He is appealing to persons to stop taking sides in the matter and be fair. He says, “Persons are taking sides in the thing when they weren’t invited. They didn’t call me to find out my side of the story.
“He claims that Ragashanti and Ms Kitty are among some of the personalities who have disrespected him following the incident.
“When I approached Raga to go on his show to make my side heard, he told me that he don’t want to hear anything from me, a just Beenie im a tek talk from,” he said.
“Ms Kitty also hit out against me. At first mi neva pay no mind to her ‘petrolent’ behaviour, but she went on her TV programme an continue to diss mi. Mi call her to ask her bout it and she gave me the runaround and avoided my calls. She’s saying how LA has no money and that he’s poor. My word to Ms Kitty is that I’m not poor, I’m ‘sobolius’, and she fi memba where she’s coming from, she get a likkle buss in life, she’s not to overstep her boundaries,” says Lewis.
