With everything he has been through, Chris Brown has shown the world how tough of a man he is. In addition to showing how we he can bounce back, Brown has also shown the world how talented he is. Ever since his mixtape track, "Deuces," Chris Brown has been all over the radio, once again.

The R&B game has been dominated by Trey Songz in recent years, but another shift has taken place. In 2009, Trey Songz released his album, Ready, while Usher and Ne-Yo were on hiatus. During their break, Trey Songz rose to the occassion. At the time, Chris Brown was struggling.

Chris Brown is all over the radio during the summer of 2011, obviously his struggle is over. Recently, it was announced he would be among the performers at the 2011 BET Awards. His tribute to his primary influence, Michael Jackson, at last year's BET Awards is what led to his massive comeback. Now, with his career back on track, Chris Brown is hoping to take things to the next level.

Among his hits on the radio is his hip hop track, "Look at me Now." The song features Busta Rhymes and frequent collaborator, Lil Wayne. Chris Brown raps through most of the song, except for a couple of lines, in which he sings. For years, Brown has rapped for fun, but after the success of "Look at me Now," he is considering releasing a rap mixtape. Right now, the R&B game is his playground, so Chris Brown could very well release a rap mixtape with his popularity at a new all-time high.
