(RE)Wire your ipod..

Usher has somewhat fallen off of the musical recently. His last album "Here I Stand" wasn't exactly a commercial hit, and somewhere along the lines marriage, fatherhood and divorce shifted his focus.

Well thankfully he's back. The official single off of his upcoming album "Monster" is entitled Papers, but a new track just leaked named Rockband. Yes, like the game.

But guess what? The song is hot. Granted Usher is moving in a more pop-oriented direction for this album, but the RedOne produced song is slick, uptempo, and classic Usher that keeps people on the dance floor. Plus he mentions the Rolling Stones in the song, so that's automatic cool points for him.

Next up is Wale, who's track is Letter featuring John Mayer. I don't know what to say other than I love it.

I will admit I'm a huge Wale fan, so maybe I'm a little bit biased, but his music is the truth. Lyrically he's real, raw and honest, and outside of a few artists in the game now, that sort of reality is sorely lacking. Hip-hop as a culture has been suffering from a over saturation and infatuation with money, girls, and fame, but Wale, Kid Cudi and others are finally bringing back the heart of what hip-hop used to be.

I could type out all of the lyrics and reiterate what is so amazing about this track, but the song will speak for itself. His album "Attention:Deficit" hits stores Nov. 10

Random Mashup..Old, New, and Unknown..

Wale ft. Lady Gaga "Chillin"



I just rep DC and PG hard because of this. And ONLY this. The dude is one of the best new rappers. And there's no autotune. Thank you.

I'm glad he's getting major label shine, because his work on the underground/local scene is fire.

I'm mad I'm just getting around to posting the video.

Mary J. Blige ft. Drake "The One"

Yea. It's hot. It's weird though that Mary and Drake are collabing (not a bad thing), HOWEVER the weirdest part is that she's using autotune. It could be a lot worse, but I mean it just makes her seem even more screechy to me. And I like Mary. Oh well. By the way, it's the rumored first single off of her upcoming album.

PS: What do you write about thought after being known as the heartbreak queen then making several albums about finding love?

Drake ft. Trey Songz "She Just Wanna Dance"

This is old as hell (since around january), but it's classic Drizzy, and Trey makes it a certified banger. Still worth a rotation on the ipod. From "The Drought is Over" (Friends With Money) Mixtape.

And, another old track resurfacing: "Right to Left" by Drake and Tanya Morgan. This is a track from the Comeback Season era, and its said that Drake's rhymes are reused in the song. I don't care. Two of my favorite hip-hop artists on one track is beyond dope.



I HATE Flo-rida. He's a sellout, horrible/whack lyricist, and one of the main reasons mainstream rap is garbage. However his song "Sweat" with Chris Brown is only being mentioned because Chris' part is smooth. I wish ANY other rapper was on this
