Nas "Daughters"
"Nah, the way mothers feel for they sons, how fathers feel for they daughters
When he date, he straight, chip off his own papa
When she date, we wait behind the door with the sawed off"
There has been a surge of rappers taking a positive outlook on fatherhood and making a track for their sons/daughters. Jay had "Glory" and now Nas has "Daughters", both songs tribute to the proud fathers of the world. This track has an old school appeal with the No I-D produced beat and still holds street credibility with Nas' lyrics. The soulful drum and sampled vocal connection of beat and rhymes make an honest and great single from his upcoming album Life is Good dropping July 17th. 

Slaughterhouse "My Life" ft Cee-Lo
In most artist's career, they are faced with the decision to make a song for the radio or for the fans. With "My Life" ft Cee-Lo, Slaughterhouse stays true to delivering great lyrics while Cee-Lo's vocals (inspired from Corona's "Rhythm of the Night") make it catchy enough to get major radio play. This track is a pleasant surprise from the supergroup and great single from their upcoming Shady Records debut album due out on Jun 12th. 
Wale" Slight Work" (remix)
Like the one kid that was last to be picked for sports during gym class, Wale must have been feeling sympathy for rappers Diddy, French Montana, and Mase because they are on the newly leaked remix to the track "Slight Work". I am not sure why they needed to remix this sleeper hit but this line-up is beyond random. Not just the addition of Diddy delivering one of his best ghostwritten flows but the return of Mase is what stood out the most on the track. I was pleasantly surprised though because he definitely did his thing. Not sure if the former pastor is making that comeback but was he really missed in the rap game?
Warren G "Party We will throw now" ft Nate Dogg and Game
After over 20 years into the game, Warren G brings back the sound of the West Coast party rap that he found success in on his new track "Party We will Throw Now!". With help from the deceased Nate Dogg and fellow west coast emcee Game, this laid-back track is classic Cali sound from back when I was a kid in the 90's. His lyrical flow is still the same and who can hate on a hook from Nate dogg? The track isn't his comeback hit but is a good effort from the rap veteran. 
Gotye ft Kimbra "Somebody that you used to know" (tiesto remix)
Tiesto offers a spin on the roster of the vast remixes to the mega-hit "Somebody that I used to Know" by Gotye. What Tiesto accomplishes with this remix is that he is able to still keep the same chill vibe of the original while still sounding like it would be great at a live set once the beat drops after the first chorus. I am still obsessed with the original to replace with this remix but Tiesto made a nice effort to take the "break-up song" to the club.
Vado "What that Mouth do" + "Badman"
Bass and drum heavy beat driven track, "What that mouth do" is Vado's attempt to deliver a thirst thug club anthem. The track is aight. Vado isnt the best lyricist and the beat sounds a little generic, almost like a thrown away club song from Noreaga. With the other leaked track "Badman", Vado takes it to the streets to warn listeners that he "sees more dead people than a mortician". Well its a wonder how he managed to stay alive, he must really be a bad man or stays safe in the comfort of his home while watching the evening news. I am not sure but Vado is determined to keep it hard and street for the fans who love this type of rap. The chorus is catchy but I don't see either being a standout hit.


"Bad Man"
Brandy "Put It Down"ft Chris Brown
Joining the success from her hit "It all Belongs to Me", Brandy recruits Chris Brown to slow down the mood and make a bedroom anthem track "Put it Down". This is one of the few times that Brandy has taken advantage of her sex appeal on a track and it mixes well with the Bangladesh and Sean Garrett beat. Why Chris Brown decided to step onto the track and rap makes as much sense as Brandy's short lived career as the rapper BrandNu. Regardless of the choice, this track is a good fit for the songstress.

Idle Warship "Driving Me Insane"
The dynamic relationship between singer and rapper with a more alternative and experimental music vibe is what makes Idlewarship an interesting and creative group. With their new track "Driving me Insane", Idlewarship takes inspiration from metal rock while singer Res tries her hand at delivering a quick rhyme. I have been a fan of hers for awhile and this track shows off her vocal talents and Kweli's quick/witty rap compliments this song well. It is apparent that the two are just having fun with this track and it does seem a little underproduced.

Brandon Hines "Yes You are"
The Jermaine Dupri written and Bryan Cox produced ballad is a promo single for the newly signed R&B crooner Brandon Hines. On "Yes You Are", he declares his love for that one special girl in his life. Appropriately released on Valentine's Day, this is a solid track and a good effort for the industry new comer. This song will not be his stand-out hit to set him apart from the top heavy weight singers in the male R&B game, but it is a "cute" single that is a good attempt at making his females fans' fall further in love.
