Days after an altercation in a NYC club late last month and tweeting a picture of the bottle throwing incident, Brown leaked a new diss track freestyle titled "I Don't Like". The freestyle is less than intimidating and the rhyme flow is decent. When throwing bottles in the club, you cant really expect someone to "go hard" on a track. 

Alicia Keys is taking a step into the spotlight after mothering her first child, writing for other artists, and backing a critically acclaimed play. Her new single "New Day" is a percussion heavy, echoing piano, and lyrically dope uplifting chant for the new changes in her life. This is an uplifting, strong track from the new mom and shows that her life is in a good place.


College fanatic rapper Asher Roth has been laying low these past few years after the release of his debut album. He is now back with a new label behind him and a new single titled "Turnip the Beet". The track isnt as "care-free" as his other singles but borrows a throwback beat (produced by David Appleton) with a new flow from the Pennsylvania MC. His new album Is this too Orange? his set to drop later this year.


After claiming that she was no longer a rapper, now artist Azealia Banks released another new track titled "Nathan" off her upcoming mixtape due out next week. One thing that sets this apart from any other free single the Harlem emcee has dropped is the guest appearance from LOX rapper Styles P. As her first feature, this Drums of Death track is a jittery bass heavy beat that is club and dance floor friendly. Styles P.'s rap blends well with the beat and Banks' experimental lyrical flow on the mic. 


Now knowing that an Outkast reunion is highly unlikely, damn near impossible at this point, I have comes to terms with that and accepted any new material from the now solo artists Big Boi and Andre 3000. With that being said, Sir Luscious Left Foot's newly leaked single "gossip" features the lyrical stylings of UGK (even a posthumous verse from Pimp C) and Big KRIT. This track is a different sound from the ATL rapper but is still dope. Funky and addictive Big KRIT hook makes this single a solid effort for the upcoming follow up album to 2010's Sir Luscious Left foot: The Son of Chico Dusty. 


Kelly Rowland has taken a step into the mainstream spotlight and continues to let her star power shine. After dropping a visual for her latest single "Summer Dreaming", she has released a new track with the YMCMB prez Lil Wayne titled "Ice". Following the same sensual R&B sound found on the pairs 2011 hit "Motivation", "Ice" is a sexy laid back summer tune. Definitely sounds strong enough to make a dent on the Billboard charts but not as infectious as their previous work. They do say that lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place and this single is no exception. 


After a baby, brief hiatus, and dropping her reality tv series, Keyshia Cole is back with a new single and another Lil Wayne feature. The single "Enough of No Love" is off Cole's upcoming new album and is a return to the dramatic R&B that made her sophomore LP Just Like You one of her biggest albums. The Harmony produced, Cole and Redd Stylez produced track is a perfect comeback to her fleeting career and the Lil Wayne feature blends well with the beat. 


Nas has been steady dropping fire in anticipation for his upcoming album Life is good, dropping this summer. His newly leaked single "Loco-Motive" is a No I.D. produced return to his ld-school flow i. Featuring Large Professor, Nas reminds listener that he is still one of the greatest over a swampy boom-bap beat. This is track is fire and I can not wait till July 17th when his comeback LP will drop. 


"F*ck Where I came from, look at wher I finna b" 
The Chi-town born emcee chants in the chorus of his latest leak "Serenity" ft. Emilio Rojas. I came across this song while searching for some new music and couldnt deny that the track was dope. Wasnt sure if it was the Bink! produced piano-sampled beat or the tale of the struggle that doesn't define him but the artist is someone to look out for. His ill word play over this soulful beat is reminiscent of early Kanye to me. Expect to hear more once his new mixtape "King Kong III" drops sometime this year. 


Unintentionally leaked late in June, The Kickdrums "ridin" mixes verses from A$AP Rocky and chorus hyms from songstress Lana Del Ray. This odd pairing is like an Eve and Gwen Stefani "Let Me Blow Your Mind" collab and was supposed to be featured on Kickdrums mixtape "Follow the Leaders". Already spurring a Twitter rant from A$AP blasting the group, the chill single is actually a pretty dope summer tune. The mix of deep voiced ad libs and Lana Del Ray's pop vocals provide a great chemistry on this track.


2 Chainz has been featured on multiple artists tracks lately and with Wiz Khalifa's latest single "Its Nothin", Chainz may have found another hit to add to his list. Unlike other guest verses, this one actually sounds pretty decent and is a strong single from the Philly MC. This Drumma Boy produced, heavy bass driven street banger is sure to hit the charts and keep the clubs jumpin'. Filled with plenty swag and bragging rhymes, the feature isn't 2 Chainz's best verse but is infectious enough to stay on steady replay.



Recently Kanye's features and verses on new GOOD music leaks have been less than dope but on the their latest single "New God Flow", Ye delivers. Leaked only 24 hours after performing this with other GOOD music artists on the BET awards, this single reaffirms that Kanye is one of the most lyrically talented and gifted emcees in the game. Dont get it twisted though, Pusha T is not outshined and still does the damn thing over this bass and piano driven beat. This is some audio crack that you definitely need on your playlist and in your headphones. If all the singles aren't leaked by the end of summer, make sure to cop Cruel Summer in August.

Living Carefree

Like Ebert and Roeper or Redman and Methodman, some matches are just meant to be. In this case, the infamous pot-smokers Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa have paired up for an upcoming film "Mac and Devin Go To High School." A match only a weed head would probably think of in a chronic induced chat, this album embodies the element of the lead single "Young, Wild, and Free" but lyrical is still lyrically strong. The collaborations between the two MC's takes on the academic theme from the movie with tracks like "Talent Show", "Let's Go Study" (a play on words of the young term for a relationship), and "World Class." Although school oriented, majority of the album focuses on the wonderful herb that Wiz has dedicated his last album to and that Snoop has openly advocated for multiple years. With features from Mike Posner, Curren$y, Juicy J, and the soulful pop sounds of Bruno Mars on the hooks of the lead song "Young, Wild, and Free," this album is actually solid collaboration from the two low-key, amiable personality rappers. Not a classic rap album, considering that it is a soundtrack from a "How High" inspired school flick, but more than just a high-grade marijuana flick gimmick. Snoop and Wiz come correct with this LP, while still maintaining the casual, light attitude that makes this album a good listen. I doubt this pair will continued to make collab albums, but definitely give a good effort of Method Man and Redman meets Cheech and Chong with more street credibility.

Hey, Hey, Hey smoke everyday

The Collaboration of Wiz and Snoop Dogg is like the combo of Jay and Kanye for weedheads. Now when I heard these two were working together I thought that it was going to be a for an upcoming LP, nope. The mix of the two is for an upcoming movie that looks like a How High prequel. How old is Snoop? When I was a kid, he was grown and dropping hits like "Gin and Juice" with Dr.Dre. What happened to him lately though? I can not buy his old a#$ as a high school student. This is a worst casting than T.I. in the high school flick ATL.

Taylor Gang, Taylor Gang!

For years Wiz Khalifa has been yelling out "Taylor Gang! Taylor Gang" throughout his tracks and mixtapes but, when I asked around, no one could really tell me who or what exactly Taylor Gang was. Now it is nothing new in Rap culture to bring up your boys or people you have worked with during an artist's climb to fame. Nelly had the St. Lunatics, Mc Hammer had all of Oakland, and Khalifa has Taylor Gang. With The Cookout, fans are finally getting to hear the voice of one of the members of Taylor Gang besides Wiz; Chevy Woods. Although Wiz is on 8 of the 11 tracks, this mixtape is a smooth project that reminds me of the sounds of West Coast, laid back influenced rappers, such as Snoop Dogg or Warren G. Don't sleep on this dude, I hope to hear more from him in the future.
