Drake re-vamps the Started From the Bottom Remix into a totally new song called “No New Friends” which will now appear on Dj Khaled’s album Suffering From Success. I was expecting something a little more interesting in terms of guest appearances, this is pretty much “I’m On One” redux.
J. Cole links up with long time Kanye collaborator video director NABIL for what looks like J.Cole’s first hit. They forgot to take the lens filter off.
We haven’t heard a new Jay-Z song in a long time? Strangely enough, Hov returns to speak on the controversy surrounding his Cuba visit and selling his portion of the Nets. The rapping is of course stellar, but I’m not sure I’d play this again.
It’s good to see Joey trying to make radio records, but he’s not quite their yet. Perhaps, on his next project he’ll be able to mix the magic that was on Mood Musik with a mainstream friendly appeal.
Lupe has had some low points since we last left him but today he redeems himself with a new song about a 6 month year old that was recently shot to death in Chicago. This isn’t your typical dedication song nor is it a preachy song about gun violence. Must listen.
Will.I.Am recruits the Biebs for what sounds like a viable summer smash.
Wow. Never expected The Dream to go this hard on a record. This is some next level ish.
Juicy J continues to add ratchet anthems to billboard with his latest Show Out featuring Big Sean and Young Jeezy.
