This super smooth Hip-Hop-Pop come from Kanye-wannabe (or "Kannabe") B.o.B. is currently climbing up the pop charts. It's a guilty pleasure, good for a few listens.
This killer Indie power jam is from their new album Odd Blood, and it's leagues better than anything on their debut. This is the "My Girls" of 2010. Included is an awesome remix by one of my new favorites The Very Best.
Yeasayer - "Ambling Alp" (The Very Best Mulomo Remix)
Off the upcoming New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh. Judging from this track and the cover art, expect part 2 to get a little freakier than the 4th World War.
Upon furthur contemplation, I realized that the new T.I. joint isn't really banging enough of a New Hotness to kick off the weekend. So when I stumbled over this epically amazing dance song, I had to throw it up. From the consistently fresh French dance label Ed Banger, this new Breakbot single oozes with Michael-esque disco flavor. I'm gonna be grooving to this one all weekend.
The first official single from T.I. since his release finds the rapper right where we left him. The song is pure T.I., it's good to see prison didn't change a playa.
Damn, a double daily dose of New Hotness today. This is the first single from Drake's debut studio album Thank Me Later. It's going to be one of the biggest rap albums of 2010, second only to a little super-anticipated album known as Good Ass Job from everyone's favorite Kanye. Drake's 2009 mixtape was a lot like Kanye's 808 & Heartbreak, but Drake said recently that his debut would be straight Hip-Hop. He's got a good start here, blasting off over a killer Boi-1da beat.
Ur-shur baby. I cannot wait for Raymond v. Raymond, because if anyone can get it poppin' it's Usher. This song is pretty hot, and it features one of T.I.'s first post-prison raps.
If you like your pop saccharine, look no further. This track from white-boy heavy-hitter producer J.R. Rotem might make maple syrup ooze out your ears it's so sweet.
