Legal woes behind him, Chris Brown is finally ready to release the long-delayed X disc (Sept. 16th) and the latest song we have from the project is the haunting balled "Autumn Leaves" featuring Kendrick Lamar. The track is produced by B.A.M. and RoccStar and finds Chris singing about a troubling relationship.
"I've been bleeding in your silence/ I feel safer in your violence/ I hold on like leaves in fall, to what is left/ Before I sleep, I talk to God/ He must be mad with me/ He's coming/It seems like all the autumn leaves have fallen/ I feel like you're the only reason for it/ All the things you do."
In addition to K. Dot, Chris' album will feature appearances from Usher, Rick Ross, Brandy, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Jhené Aiko, R. Kelly and Trey Songz.

Earlier this summer, Faith Evans released “I Deserve It”, the first single off her eighth album and first new studio record in four years, Incomparable. Now, Faith has teamed up with famed Atlanta photographer Derek Blanks to create a visual for the track, featuring Missy Elliott and Sharaya J.
Shot in Atlanta, the video showcases Faith's banging body and takes cues from the famous club scene in "Coming To America" as Faith entertains potential suitors. Watch for cameos from Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star Stevie J. and Terrell Owens. Incomparable drops at the end of the year....are you feeling the song?
