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.

First Listen Playlist: Your friends are invited too...

ATL native Big Boi and fashionable rapper Theophilius London team up for a collaborative panty-droppin effort. This Chris Carmouche produced smooth, sexy single titled "She Said Ok", cancels out any form of game and gets directly to the point with lyrics like "Let me see your t!tties..." The bravery and boldness of this track is only emphasized by the chorus provided by Sleepy Brown, i mean, Tre Luce. This track can be heard on Sir Luscious Left Foot's new upcoming album, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors, and London's upcoming mixtape Escape from Rose Island. Both release dates have yet to be revealed. 


In another dose of rappers collaborating, cloud nine rapper Curren$y collabs with Pharrell for this laid back, chill smokers track. Leaked from his upcoming effort Stoned Immaculate, the Jet Life emcee remains consistent with the a dope flow and solid track. Produced by VA's own Pharrell and, with help from auto-tune, he delivers a catchy hook that blends perfect with the beat. This track is nothing too innovative or new from the emcee but it is dope nonetheless.



Childish Gambino has been on his hustle lately with leak after leak and today I bring you two of his newest tracks, "Silk Pillow" ft Beck and "Black Faces" ft Nipsey Hussle. Although many have given him mixed reviews, I have grown to like his latest works and these two new tracks do not disappoint. On "Black Faces", Hussle opens the serious, darker tone track with a sick 16 bar rap flow while Gambino later closes it out with the chorus and rap. It is clear that Glover aka Gambino wants to be taken seriously as a rapper and nothing is more interesting than dragging Beck out of hiatus to collab on the other leak "Silk Pillow". This track takes a less serious tone but still has the darker, somewhat reminiscent sound of Beck's Mellow Gold days with the addition of some rapping. Both tracks are dope and although Gambino needs a bit of refinement in delivery and lyrical flow, he is still a dope emcee.  


I have been a big fan of Beck since the 90's. With a brief hiatus, he teams up with Jack White and delivers the country-rock track "I just started hating some people today". This White produced track is complete with guitar rips, harmonica, and some punk. Breaking down into a completely different song  within 4 minutes, Beck returns to the weird rocker we know and love. This is not a comeback hit in the least but is a good reassurance that with the time away from the spotlight, Beck has not changed his interesting yet unique style.  


It seems like this past week has been the week for features and unexpected collabos. In the latest release from Grammy winning emcee Omen, the newest single "Homecoming" features lyrical blessings from newcomers A.N.R.D., Skyzoo, and Denzil Porter. This feel good track of making it samples the legendary BIG's "Juicy" lines over a brass and percussion-driven beat. Omen's long-awaited new work Black Hero Theme Musik is set to hit the net June 18th.


Kid Ink has been making a steady buzz on the underground and mainstream over the past year. Personally I do not understand the excess hype and feel that his flow and appeal is generic, but his latest freestyle on the track "Hear them talk" is far from whack.  The dark, bass heavy track is coupled with background yelling and vocals and Ink's dope flow. I am not exactly sure if it the beat or the lyrics, but regardless this Hot New Hip Hop exclusive freestyle is sick. His debut album Up&Away takes off on June 12th. 


Bobby V has been relatively quiet as of late. After the not so impressing sales of his last album, Fly On the Wall, he returns with a new leaked track titled "Mirror". This uptempo K.E. on the Track produced single is another dive into the freaky as Mississippi bred singer describes using a mirror to watch a beautiful woman he is having sex with. The addition of Lil Wayne, no relation to his song by a similar name,  with a self-loathing rap has all the makings of becoming a moderate radio hit at best. As the lead single to his upcoming fifth full length album Dusk Till Dawn, I am assuming that Bobby V. is staying to true to his style of light and sex filled R&B. 


From a number iTunes downloaded EP to steady releasing videos and new music, former Didy Dirty Money singer Dawn Richard awarded her fans with a new release titled "Wild N' Young". Although this track was leaked a week or so ago, I wanted to keep it current by posting with the new music playlist. The fast paced and percussion heavy blend of electronic, dance, and tribal rhythms is very similar to the previous style of her work on her EP Armor On. Imagine if Sade and Ciara had a baby and you would have an idea of what to expect on this new single. The song is a solid effort from Richard but the production and her voice do not seem to blend to well. Like her other song "Bombs", her unique voice tends to get drowned out but the aggressive beat. 

I must admit that I was not exactly a fan from the beginning when I first saw Florence+the machine perform on the 2011 VMA Awards. The unique and intricate style of the UK singer reminded a lot of Bjork but with more psychedelic and theatrical pieces. As of late, I still am on the fence about her work but am growing to like the remixes and features. With the latest remix of her song "Spectrum", electronic mega-producer Calvin Harris adds a dance spin to the Ceremonials track. It is a fun remix, sounds a little generic but still a good effort. What makes this song is Florence's powerful, siren-like voice.

Sbtrkt has really grown on me lately. From his addicting "Wildfire" to his work with Sampha on the single "Hold On", there is something to like about the mix of chill, laid back electronic and quality production. With his latest release "Gamelena", he continues his style of heavy bass beats that are audio crack. Not exactly what a Gamelena is but this early release starts off with a low pulsing beat then quickly picks up tempo while still remaining soft and haunting. Like a mix between the "natural noises of the rainforest" cd's and techno undercurrents, this beat is soothing and dope. Expect more from the Dj/producer soon.

Kirk Randle aka Kirko Bangz has been steadily taking over the radio stations with his hit single "Drank in My Cup". With his latest leaked single "That Pole (Remix)", he recruits the VA performer Chris Brown. This ballad to the "working girl" is nothing less than a hood slow jam that is almost as infectious to the ears as "Drank in My Cup". Although this will not be as big as of a hit as "Drank in my Cup", the addition of Brown is a nice touch and could find its way on the charts. 


I have been a fan of Wale since "Nike Boots" days and with his new release "Actin Up" from the upcoming compilation CD, MMG Presents: Self Made Vol. 2, he recruits the help of French Montana and yelling talents of Meek Mill. Although the DC rapper has been a favorite of mine, this church choir , bass heavy beat is a little played out and the chorus is weak. Not really feeling this track and French Montana's verse doesn't really help. This is really a collab effort because Wale has one verse throughout the whole song. I am not really feeling this and from the weak rhymes, I don't think that the other rappers were really feeling it either. 


Taking a break from starting beef with VA emcee Pusha T, Wayne leaks a new track titled "My homies Still". I am pretty sure that this track was recorded way before Wayne launched an all out attack on G.O.O.D. music rapper Pusha T because Big Sean is featured on the track. Produced by Street Runner and Sarom, this fast-paced bouncy and skittery beat is becoming Wayne's new signature. As random and schizo as this track is, I am actually kind of feeling it. Sean delivers and kills the beat. The more you listen it, the more it actually starts to grow on you. Whether the beef was a publicity stunt or not, this single trumps the bs drama that Weezy has decided to start. Expect I am Not a Human Being 2 later this year. 


Taking into the weird, expressive, and artistic, Badu collaborates with the rock group Flaming Red Lips in the track "First time I ever saw your face". Released in April as part of a double vinyl, one of the standout tracks was a remake to the Roberta Flack hit single of the same name. Not exactly the most uplifting or uptempo single, the heavy and chilling bass rip compliments the soft vocals from Badu. Oddly enough, this song is equally haunting as it is good. The psychedelic video is something to leave you just pondering and continually hitting the replay button as you try to understand what you just witnessed.
