Susan Boyle caught the attention of the world when she stepped up onto the stage in front of a mocking Simon Cowell, a man who embodies the image over substance problem the music business faces today. But all of the snickering ended as she sang the first note. Her raw talent won over that audience but it apparently has won over music fans world wide with her debut album "I Dreamed a Dream" setting a record in her native UK but more importantly, becoming the biggest selling first week release in the US for 2009, despite not having the benefit of a full season of the popular television show for exposure and publicity. She also set a record in New Zealand as fastest selling worldwide female debut ever, according to 3news. Hits Double Daily's final chart shows that Boyle's album sold 669,843 copies in the U.S. last week and that number tops Eminem's "Relapse" which sold 608,000 units its first week.

The latest track is another demonstration of Dres' exceptional flow and lyrical finesse as he declares "I'm a one man Beatles, I be the Rolling Stone." When asked about the inspiration behind the song Dres explained, "The present state of mainstream hip-hop is the inspiration. It seems to me that the music has lost its concern for the world and people, and overtly speaks almost exclusively of the baubles of life and state of mind." Combining thought-provoking lyrics, a masterfully soul-inspired beat courtesy of the upcoming Urban Soul Music Group, and catchy hook, listeners are given a preview of the growth and maturity to expect from the highly anticipated EP From The Black Pool of Genius: The Prelude, as well as throughout Dres' forthcoming full-length release, described as a "deep, vast pool of soul... not always understood, but forever seen and loved." From The Black Pool of Genius: The Prelude is available now, and the full-length album is scheduled for a March 2010 release.
