#1 - David Banner ft. Chris Brown & A$AP Rocky - Yao Ming (Remix)
Though Yao Ming, the larger-than-life second single off David Banner's Make Believe Album, received lukewarm-to-negative reviews from our readership, the Mississippi repper didn't despair. Instead, he went right back to the...Read More
#2 - J. Cole ft. Missy Elliot - Nobody's Perfect
J. Cole's freshman set may not have been flawless—few, if any, albums are—but, judging by the avalanche of five star-reviews in the Booth (not to mention the Gold certification), there were plenty of listeners willing to...Read More
#3 - 8Ball & MJG ft. K.R.I.T. - We Buy Gold
It has to be a mind blowing experience to work with artists you grew up idolizing, and even more mind blowing for those artists to treat you like a peer. So I think we can consider Big K.R.I.T.’s cranium thoroughly...Read More
#4 - 50 Cent ft. Jeremih - Girls Go Wild
As the saying goes, if you scratch my back I’ll scratch yours. Unless you’re a rapper, in which case it’s more like “if you guest on my track I’ll guest on yours.” Six months after 50 Cent contributed some high...Read More
#5 - Wiz Khalifa - California
Fresh off the blunted (and Booth-approved) cross-generational collaboration that was his and Snoop's Mac & Devin Go to High School soundtrack LP, Wiz Khalifa is already hard at work on his next solo street release. As...Read More
#6 - B.o.B ft. T.I. & Young Jeezy - Strange Clouds (Remix)
Saying that B.o.B. and Lil Wayne are the only Southern rappers who enjoy smoking Strange Clouds is like saying Snoop Dogg and Game are the only west coast rappers who enjoy driving lowriders. So it shouldn’t be a surprise...Read More
#7 - Don Trip - Allen Iverson
With his highly-anticipated Gangsta Grillz tape slated for release during NBA All-Star Weekend, it's only right that Don Trip dedicate a record to a favorite baller. On the latest single off the project, the Memphis emcee...Read More
#8 - Jay-Z ft. B.I.C & Pharrell Williams - Glory
Many men sire children, but not every man takes the time to stand up and show adoration for that child like Jay-Z has just done with his new release Glory, produced by close friend and long-time collaborator Pharrell...Read More
#9 - N.O.R.E. ft. Busta Rhymes, Game & Waka Flocka Flame - Lehhgooo
Fresh off collaborating with Action Bronson on Booth-approved leak Mazel Tov, N.O.R.E. returns with another freshly-leaked cut off his forthcoming street album. Inspired by Chris Breezy's famous ad-lib, Lehhgoooo finds Charli...Read More
#10 - Wale ft. Lloyd - Sabotage
“Listen all of y'all, it's a Sabotage!” With the obligatory Beastie Boys' reference out of the way, Wale's latest single bears little in common with the Ill Communication classic that shares its title. Rather than...Read More
#11 - LoveRance ft. 50 Cent, Young Jeezy & T.I. - Up (Big Von Remix)
Young artists are constantly searching for that one hit that’s going to catapult them from relative unknown to overnight sensation – LoveRance is hoping that Up is that hit. Or more accurately, he’s hoping that bringing...Read More
#12 - Cypress Hill x Rusko - Roll It, Light It
What do you get when you mix classic West Coast hip-hop with the latest trend in dance music? You get Roll It, Light It, the latest leak off Cypress Hill's forthcoming collaborative EP with dubstep producer Rusko. Here, the...Read More
#13 - Rick Ross - Yella Diamonds
Whether you're talking precious stones or crack rocks, Rick Ross won't settle for anything less than the best. The Maybach Music mogul's high standards are readily apparent on newly-released single/mixtape standout Yella...Read More
#14 - Yelawolf ft. Gangsta Boo & Eminem - Throw It Up
Before Juicy J and Project Pat were on reality shows, they were consistently providing trunk-rattling music crunk enough to create riots. If the #Occupy folks had Tear Da Club Up ’97 constantly playing, I don’t think the...Read More
#15 - K'NAAN ft. Nas - Nothing to Lose
Mixing introspective street rhymes with a ballad style chorus isn’t anything new in hip-hop. This style allows for worthy lyrics to escape prior to the sing-a-long hook that begs to get stuck in the heads of the listeners....Read More
#16 - Tyga ft. Lil Wayne - Faded
Three-plus years after the release of Tyga's debut set, a sophomore effort is finally on the horizon. To tide fans over till the project drops later this month, the Young Money emcee has released Faded, a new street single...Read More
#17 - Mystikal ft. Lil Wayne & Birdman - Original
Fresh off signing with YMCMB in mid-November, Mystikal has hooked up with his new label bosses for his first single at his new label home. On Original, Detail's street-ready synth boardwork sets the stage for the New Orleans...Read More
#18 - Red Cafe ft. Trey Songz, Wale & J. Cole - Fly Together (Remix)
On the lead single off his endlessly-delayed freshman full-length, Red Cafe informed his girl that, no matter how brightly each of them may shine on their own lonesome, they're even Fly[er] Together. The same principle...Read More
#19 - Nelly - The Champ
What could be better than hearing your song booming through stadium speakers at a major sporting event? Try having it broadcast to ESPN-viewing households across the nation. With the 2011 college football season winding down,...Read More
