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.

download

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.

Download

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.

Live n in Living Color Part Tre

With another round of videos hittin the internet and tv screen, I dedicate another post to the wonderful world of the music video. However, wanted to do something a little different and jampack as much videos (old and new) that i might have missed over the brief hiatus. So without further delay, sit back, relax, grab some Cheeto's or Dorito's, and enjoy the visuals...

"Lights Down Low"-Bei Maejor

Bei Maejor has set out to prove that not only can he sing and produce but he can also rap. With his club-hit single "Lights Down Low" ft Waka Flocka, he even sets out to prove that he has just as much swag as the rappers. The video is pretty basic with everything that would appeal to the hip-hop community(jerseys, basketball, drinks, partying, and pretty girls) but with an addictively catchy track you dont need a stunning visual.

Lil Scrappy-"helicopter"

After a brief hiatus, Lil Scrappy returns with a new single "Helicopter" ft. 2 Chainz, Rolls Royce Rizzy, and Twista. The video isnt too visually stunning but matches the song by actually adding in "helicopters". The song is classic Scrappy and may not be his comeback but it is good to hear something from the southern emcee.

"Take it to the Head"-Dj Khaled

Trapped in a subway station and about to drown with the massive amounts of water flowing in? Then Party! You've got plenty of hot model chicks around you but no bottles...take it to the head! With Dj Khaled's "Take it to the Head" ft Chris Brown, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and Nicki Minaj visual, he draws inspiration from the infamous Universal Studios ride and show the best of creative and destroyed settings. One thing that I found a little interesting for a song about drinking, there is the absolute absence of any bottles.

ANTHM-"Manhattan"

Ethiopian-American rapper hailing from NY may be new to the scene but has the potential to be one of the newest greats to hit the music world. With his new visual for "Manhattan", he keeps it simple but classy with a rags to riches in reverse approach to living in Manhattan and struggles of making it through a slight addiction to the bottle. The video is simple but creative in its approach. For an unsign emcee, I can see why he has the heavy on-line following. I remain a fan.

Melanie Fiona-"Watch Me Work"

Melanie Fiona's sophomore album MF Life has been receiving nothing but good reviews but commercially hasn't lived up to the hype. With her latest visual for track "Watch Me Work", she focuses on empowering her audience with a collage of strong and powerful woman over the decades. Although not one of my favorite tracks and least likely to become a major hit, this feminist PSA is creatively put together but takes too much away from the song. This seems more suited for something to display in the background while on tour but it still is a dope mix of the strong and beautiful.

"U Did That (Remix)" Teairra Mari ft 2 Chainz

After listening to the first release of Teairra Mari's "comeback" track "U Did That", I had a feeling that it was yet to be mastered. With the addition of 2 Chainz, she adds that gritty, masculine perspective to contrast with her sexy, sultry voice. Although the track has potential to be a banger, the over-the-top approach from the beautiful songstress just comes across as trying to hard to appear sexual. What kills me is that she is already beautiful and sexy, the term "less is more" should have come across loud and clear during the direction of this video. Besides that, the concept and look is very basic and falls short to  make the song interesting. This video just leaves you wanting more but just from a different source.

"The Woman You Love"-Ashanti ft Busta Rhymes

Although it has been over 8 months and Ashanti's comeback single has yet to hit the charts, she has released a visual for the track "The Woman You Love". The song is actually one of her stronger efforts but the visual doesn't exactly capture the intensity or the sense of the single. Not exactly sure what she is trying to portray with this video. Is she a futuristic alien singer from space that is reflecting on her relationship on Earth or is she just an angry futuristic witch tired of being constantly played? Either way she is looking good and hope this single, at least, gets more radio play for her. Maybe a re-up on the video and better promotion might help.

"Pop A Rubberband"-Travis Porter

There comes a time in every rapper's career when they take the high road and make the coveted "stripper" video. With Travis Porter's new single "Pop a Rubberband", they took notes from rappers of the past for a BET Uncut(if still around) worthy stripper anthem video. Nothing much to discuss or review, the strippers look right and the shaking of the gluteus maximus is plenty. Damn shame that these girls think this video will put them on, God bless America. 

Kevin McCall-"Naked"

West Coast producer, rapper, and ex Chris Brown entourage member Kevin McCall drops a visual for his promo single "Naked" ft Big Sean. The video is pretty stylish and is filled with plenty of ladies with strategically placed hands and arms over their naked bodies. With a little cameo from Brown, McCall hopes to appeal to a wide audience and take over the club with this track. Although the video is well done, the single is overproduced and generic.

Nelly Furtado-"Big Hoops (Bigger the Better)"

Nelly is back with a new dance track "Big Hoops (bigger the better)". Recently releasing the visual, she displays the obvious big hoops but adds a few extra BIG elements. Walking on stilts, growing 10 stories high, and throwing in some Native American tribal dancing, Furtado mixes her imagery from "Like a Bird" to more current Hip-Hop influences. The video isn't something that I would call visually stunning but the addition of the tribal dancing and use of color is something I haven't seen before from her and I like it. 

"Amazing"-David Banner ft Chris Brown

Not exactly sure when David Banner became a more creative and diverse Southern rapper, but his latest visual for his new single "Amazing" ft Chris Brown is a mix between MJ's "Leave Me alone" and a elementary school kids class project. The imagery is filled with paper cut-outs and dolls that would make Robot Chicken creators look sideways. With a little cameo from the MJ action figure, I am going to jump out on a limb and say that this is suppose to be a homage video but it falls short. I like that Banner is doing something different but it definitely looks like he spent about $50 on this visual. 

Kanye West-"Lost in the World"

Although this Ruth Hogben directed video is a year late considering that "Lost in the World" came out in 2010, this Kanye West visual is one of his best. The visually stunning effect of the separating buildings are only amplified by the black and white tones and precise cinematography. I really liked this video and only hoped that it was released earlier, so that more people would actually care to watch and comment on it. Say what ever you want about Mr. West, but you cant deny that he has a talent for finding visually stunning and audio mesmerizing art.

"Let's Go" Calvin Harris ft. Ne-yo

Dance music has always had international appeal. From Asia to the West Coast, the electronic sounds of great DJ's like Calvin Harris can be heard throughout any club. With his latest visual for the single "Let's Go" ft Ne-Yo, director Vincent Haycock capitalizes on the concept that music is international. There isn't any lip synching to the track but more of couples from different areas of the world enjoying different hobbies and Calvin Harris' parties. Ne-Yo makes a little cameo in the video as well. Although the song is beginning to grow on me, the video is something that I have seen before.

"Wildfire"-SBTRKT

SBTRKT track "Wildfire" has become strangely addictive to me, as of late. Although their visual for the hit track was released over a year ago, I felt the need to share it with you because it is just that odd but appealing. The Sam Pilling directed video did not make much sense to me at first and just confused the hell outta me as I tried to figure out why the female star was convulsing and sweating in the bed. It wasnt until I read some of the comments from the youtube page that I realized that Pilling took inspiration from a Korean superstition that if you fall asleep with the fan on, you will die from dehydrating. Hmm. Well regardless of the superstition, the effects are pretty interesting and dope and the song is just as mesmerizing as the song.
