Unable to use Model Classes "Does not Contain deffination for Class Name"

i am following Mvc MysicStore , Project . In my model class i have Genre.cs

namespace MvcMusicStore.Models
{
    public class Genre
    {
        public int GenreId { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string Descriptio { get; set; }

        public List<Album> albums { get; set; }

    }
}

and same way 2 more classes like Artis.cs Album,cs and Genre.cs .

Genre.cs

namespace MvcMusicStore.Models
{
    public partial class Genre
    {
        public int GenreId { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public List<Album> Albums { get; set; }
    }
}

Album.cs

namespace MvcMusicStore.Models
{
    public class Album
    {
        public int AlbumId     { get; set; }
        public int GenreId     { get; set; }
        public int ArtistId    { get; set; }

        public string Title    { get; set; }

        public decimal Price   { get; set; }
        public string AlbumUrl { get; set; }

        public Genre genre     { get; set; }
        public Artist artist   { get; set; }
    }
}

My problem is that when i try to use these classes with sample data it says

enter image description here

i have made sure there are no namespace issues and i have created a class SampleData.cs that has following code that gives error

new List<Album>
            {
                new Album { Title = "The Best Of Men At Work", 
                Genre = genres.Single(g => g.Name == "Rock"),
                Price = 8.99M, Artist = artists.Single(a => a.Name == "Men At Work")
                , AlbumArtUrl = "/Content/Images/placeholder.gif" },

it shows me above mentioned error for this code whats wrong with it ?

I think your property is written in lowercase and you try to access it as Genre. Try renaming it.

It's because your Album class doesn't have a Genre property, but a genreproperty.

Instead of 

public Genre genre     { get; set; }

try

public Genre Genre     { get; set; }
