That time of the week again folks and this time I’m making sure I get this post out on time. One problem is that I don’t have as many tunes as last week but one thing I can guarantee that the selection I have are DOPE. My favourite song this week has to be N.E.R.D‘s buzz single with Nelly Furtado ‘Hot N’ Fun’. Alternate music at it’s finest and especially nice to see Neptunes produce a dope beat as most of their productions recently have majorly blowed. Songs from Eminem, B.O.B, Killa Cam and more after the cut.

Video is bleh but it’s a buzz single so it’s understandable.
N.E.R.D. – Hot N’ Fun (feat. Nelly Furtado) – Link
Next up a Lupe joint with the beautiful Miss. Keys. Not sure if this is a Lupe or Alicia song but i’ll go with the first as his album is meant to be dropping this summer even though Alicia’s the one who’s singing for 70% of song.
Lupe Fiasco – Love Letter To The Beat (feat. Alicia Keys) – Link
Next up a dope tune featuring the Cudder on the hook and Cam’ron & Vado spitting over the beat. This is ill, Killa Cam kills it. Check out Cudi‘s opinion on it: ‘man did yall hear that Cam and Vado joint im on? i did that hook awhile ago with the OG Alchemist (m0re beats please) and i knew he’d find the perfect emcees to body that shit. aint nothing like some good ol classic Killah and Vado went in too. real hip hop shit. we do this. great record fellas, im honored foreal.’ Love he’s still so down to earth and real.
Cam’ron & Vado – Ur Killin’ Me (feat. Kid Cudi) – Link
I posted the videos of his amazing MTV Unplugged performance a few days ago, well here’s an audio rip from that show. This should hold you down till the MTV Unplugged CD comes out. YUUUUUUP! also got the CDQ of a possible single from his upcoming untitled album.
Trey Songz – MTV Unplugged Performance – Link, Already Taken – Link
We met him a few weeks ago, Tinie Tempah is a cool dude who’s living a ‘very very very wild lifestyle’. Labryinth’s beats are insane, it’s the only reason I like this song because honestly I think i’m better than Tinie lyrically. ‘She talks alot like Trisha‘ really Tinie, really?
Tinie Tempah - Frisky (feat. Labyrinth) – Link
Definitely a killer collaboration track off Damien‘s and Nas‘s album ‘Distant Relatives’. Somalian singer, K’naan jumps on this track titled ‘Africa We Must Wake Up’.
Nas & Damien Marley – Africa We Must Wake Up (feat. K’naan) – Link
I have no idea who this broad is but she can sure sing. I’d put her in the Amy Winehouse/Adele category, real amazing vocals that go so well with this beat.
Jenna Andrews - Tumblin Down – Link
J. Cole’s first single off his album dropped earlier this week. I like it but I feel as if it isn’t mainstream enough for a first single to be honest but thats his style. More Hip Hop less Pop unlike Drake (not dissing Drizzy) just comparing. It’s still a sick track nonetheless.
J. Cole – Who Dat – Link
Round-Up of dope tracks
M.I.A. – Born Free – Link
Eminem – Despicable Freestyle (Drake’s Over Beat) – Link
Fantasia – Bittersweet – Link
Sean Paul – Down The Line – Link
