Mary J. Blige

#4 - Mary J. Blige ft. Drake - Mr. Wrong

When last we left Mary J. Blige, the veteran R&B songstress was head-over-heels for a guy so fantastic she wished she could break the laws of time and space and be with him 25/8. It sounded like she was in a damn good place...Read More

B.o.B

#5 - 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

J. Cole

#6 - 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

Maejor Ali

#7 - Bei Maejor ft. Wale, Trey Songz, T-Pain & J. Cole - Trouble (Remix)

The only thing better than money is more money, the only thing better than sex is more sex and the only thing better than getting in Trouble is getting in even more Trouble. Almost eight months after we first heard Bei...Read More

Drake

#8 - Drake ft. Rihanna - Take Care

Update: Click "Watch Now" above to watch Drake's "Take Care" video. Perfectly capturing the mood of “luxurious melancholy” (to quote my good friend Nathan S.) that made the album so compelling, and featuring the guest...Read More

K'NAAN

#9 - 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

Average Rating:
50 Cent

#10 - 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

Drake

#11 - Drake ft. Lil Wayne & Tyga - The Motto

With the release date of Drake's hotly anticipated sophomore album Take Care looming closer, he knows his loyal subjects are becoming anxious. In an unprecedented act of benevolence, Drake has unleashed a new record, The...Read More

Ne-Yo

#13 - Ne-Yo ft. Trey Songz & T-Pain - The Way You Move

Jay-Z

#14 - 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

Yelawolf

#15 - 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

Ke$ha

#16 - Ke$ha ft. Wiz Khalifa, Andre 3000, TI & Lil Wayne - Sleazy 2.0

Ready to get Sleazy, Booth readers? Personally, I'm leaning toward the negative--I try not to get sleazy before 7:00 in the evening, and it's just shy of 11:15 AM as I write this. Even so, I'm not blind to the grimy appeal of...Read More

Wiz Khalifa

#17 - 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

#18 - The-Dream - ROC

Click “Listen” to watch The-Dream’s “ROC” video. After a relatively quiet, but still quite successful 2011 (the self-proclaimed “Radio Killa” didn't get a new album onto store shelves, but he did drop a number...Read More
