Huey - No Make Up ft. Trey Songz
Artist: Huey
Featuring: Trey Songz
Producer: Soundz
Album: Strictly Business
Label: Que Records/EMI
After the disappointing sales of his debut album, Notebook Paper, rapper Huey is using a whole new approach on his all-important follow-up; one that’s Strictly Business. Since one of the most important aspects of a good business is to know your market, the St. Louis native appeals directly to his radio-listening, teenage female audience with the album’s first official single, No Makeup. Huey brings along well-known heartthrob Trey Songz for the hook and up-and-coming ladies’ jam producer Soundz (see Usher‘s Love in This Club Part 2) to set the instrumental accompaniment. Is the new style a sound business strategy? Check back later this year to see if Strictly Business is in the red or the black.

Trey sounds good on here as always. OK production from Soundz, nothing special. Huey is boring.

Try again, Huey. I doubt this song makes a dent on the airwaves. Not that I judge songs by that criteria but if you go for commercial play, you have to at least make it likeable. Huey just ain't talented. Trey Songz is. Songz shouldn't relegated himself to this BS.

Soundz did his thing with the production, but this is another radio aimed track with nothing new. Trey smoothens things out, but the track as a whole just seems totally generic. I could see it possibly blowin up, but I think it will be just a decent single.

Well I gotta admit, I do like this song. I know its generic and sounds as if we've heared it be4, but I like something about it. I think its production. I think huey's part was well delivered. I can see myself riding to this.

I like the production a lot. Trey Songz sorta weird using the voice box. He doesn't need that. Huey sounded really cheesy and stupid on the hook. I'm not too fond of the same cliche female song. I mean, I like songs where rappers are talking about ladies, but they need to start getting original (ex. Fabalous w/ "Baby", or Lupe Fiasco's "Sunshine".) This just sounds like any old lyrics. I respect Huey ever since I heard "Nobody Loves The Hood" and showed his contrast, but he's going to have to come better than this to really be a sincerely respected artist in my opinion.

Okay I listened to this song three times and it is growing on me. I think because we have all heard this sound so many times before, but it is that very fact that will cause this one to do well. If it gets radio play no one will notice that Huey is weak on this track...Treys hook and Soundz production will carry this song.

trey songz didnt need the voicebox, he arguably has one of the smoothest voices in R&b. anyways. this would be a good album filler but this wont be a hit. try again. doesnt stand out, and since he's not established he gonan need something stronger than this to establish himself

Huey honestly sounds a little bored on this record. It's almost as if he is dissapointed that he is going in this direction with his music. I think his debut was much better than people gave it credit for, but this isn't necessarily the way to approach the second phase of his career. Will this go to radio and be successful? Possibly. But I'm thinking that will have more to do with Soundz excellent production and Songz great hook singing.

Real good to move to. Trey sounds sexy as always. I like this song alot. The beat is real nice. I like the hook. True - Huey could've done alot better, but I'm feelin this song and it'll get much play in my ride.

Like many of you have written Huey sounds boring, but Trey is great, as always! Pity that he used the voicebox which covered his beautiful voice... That's why I'm not a fan of it. The only one who has to use it is Lil Wayne lol! It's a generic track, nothing original or unheard, but still good to me so it's in rotation

DJZ, you put it absolutely on the money. I wonder how many other artists go directions they really don't want to go with their music but know the move will be good for them financially and exposure wise. It definitely makes you think about the value of artist integrity within the industry.

Huey first album was alright. This is def a different approach. But its coo. The beat goes hard and so does the hook. Huey does his thing on here

The profuction is unoriginal but its still hot. Songz kills it and I love the title. Although Huey is the weakest part of this song, he still holds his own. What if Kanye was on this? I cant even imagine
