#1 - DJ Khaled ft. Drake, Rick Ross & Lil Wayne - I'm on One
We the Best head honcho DJ Khaled is following up the boisterous, street-certified Welcome to My Hood (and its successful remix) with something a little more club-focused. I'm on One finds Young Money megastar Drake joining...Read More
#2 - Kelly Rowland ft. Lil Wayne - Motivation
From her Destiny’s Child days to the review I wrote for her previous Ms. Kelly album, I’ve heard my fair share of Kelly Rowland. Still, I’m no Rowlandologist, so while I’m sure truly dedicated fans will be brimming...Read More
#3 - Big Sean - I Do It
It's hard to tell Big Sean's story without heavy usage of the word “finally.” It was two years after their first meeting in '05 before Kanye finally signed the Motown native, three more before he got the gears turning for...Read More
#4 - Tinie Tempah ft. Wiz Khalifa - Till I'm Gone
While rock and R&B import artists from England to the U.S. on a seemingly daily basis, so far U.K. hip-hop artists have found crossing the proverbial pond a tricky proposition (word to Dizzee Rascal). Hoping to be the first...Read More
#5 - Lil Wayne ft. Rick Ross - John
I don't know about y'all, but these past few months I've been praying to the hip-hop gods that installment number four in Lil Wayne's Carter saga will be every bit as brilliantly insane as its predecessor. While 6'7” was a...Read More
#6 - New Boyz ft. Chris Brown - Better With The Lights Off
There are a lot of people out there, and I’ll be honest and included myself among them, who thought the New Boyz wouldn’t last long after their smash You’re a Jerk exploded onto the charts. But group members Ben J and...Read More
#7 - Tyga ft. Chris Richardson - Far Away
As anyone who's ever committed a relationship-ending f*ckup is well aware, the psychological distance created by one breach of trust can be harder to bridge than any amount of physical space. Judging by the latest single off...Read More
#8 - Trey Songz ft. Drake - Unusual
When Trey Songz lets you know right off the bat that he’s gonna get a little nasty, prepare for a romp that’ll make you either blush or run to your nearest corner store for a pack of rubbers. The R&B lothario and his...Read More
#9 - DJ Drama ft. Fabolous, Roscoe Dash & Wiz Khalifa - Oh My
Industry tastemaker and mixtape icon DJ Drama is prepping for the release of his third full-fledged Gangsta Grillz album. For a taste of the bombastic musical goodness that's in store, check out Oh My, a high-impact club cut...Read More
#10 - Pitbull ft. Ne-Yo & Nayer - Give Me Everything
Known for pumping out hits like BP pumps oil into the Gulf (is it too late for that joke?), Pitbull has developed the perfect formula for that thing we call the “single.” Year after year, I’ve heard a Pitbull song...Read More
#11 - T-Pain - You Copying Me
To prime the masses for the release of his fourth studio album rEVOLVEr, T-Pain is dropping an aptly-named 30-track mixtape, prEVOLVEr, and leaking the new single You Copying Me. In 2005, a young Teddy emerged onto the music...Read More
#12 - Akon ft. Big Meech - Time Is Money
Akon’s Time is Money leaked a little over a year ago, but today we finally get the final, mastered version, which finds the Konvict CEO replacing former guest feature Caribbean duo Rock City with Big Meech (yes, that Big...Read More
#13 - Flo Rida & Pitbull - Turn Around pt.2
Previously-released as a single off Flo Rida's Only 1 Flo EP, Turn Around is back in the form of a new remix (or sequel, if you prefer), set for inclusion in forthcoming summer blockbuster The Hangover II. Pt. 2 of the...Read More
#14 - T-Pain ft. Joey Galaxy - Booty Wurk (One Cheek at a Time)
I don’t mean to reveal too much about what goes on behind-the-scenes here at the Booth, but I’ve pretty much got my pick of songs to write about each day, and I tend to pick songs that seem the most entertaining. So,...Read More
#15 - Wiz Khalifa ft. Big Sean - GangBang
You’ll be hard pressed to find two artists hotter at the moment than Wiz Khalifa and Big Sean. The Pittsburgh native is at an all-time high, catching another gust of wind after the Super Bowl and his color-oriented single...Read More
#16 - Bruno Mars - The Lazy Song
If you watched the Grammys like I did (on delay, shouts to YouTube), you might have caught the performance of a man who goes by the name of Bruno Mars. I’ve been a fan of the Hawaiian crooner since his Nothing on You hit...Read More
#17 - Young Jeezy ft. Lil Wayne - Ballin’
Having received disappointing reviews for his last selection, The Lick, and frankly a few selections before that too, trap star and CTE CEO Young Jeezy pulls out the big guns for the latest street single off his long-awaited...Read More
#18 - Fabolous ft. Lil Wayne - That's Not Love
Fabolous promised that his new The S.O.U.L. Tape, which he says is loosely inspired by Jay-Z’s classic Blueprint album, would feature more seriously minded material, and sure enough when the project was released today it...Read More
#19 - Fabolous ft. Ne-Yo & Ryan Leslie - Look At Her (Killin’ Em pt.2)
Collaborations are great aren’t they? Think about it, would Taco Bell’s Meal Deals be as epic without the Doritos? I think not. Hence the reason I love hearing various artists come together. From All City Chess Club to...Read More
