I think I wrote the last Eargasms almost 3 weeks ago! It’s been a while and I’ve got a lot of good new music. Obviously only that tracks I like, the rest have been placed in the recycle bin. I’ll kick start this week’s post with a track off Step Up 3D by Trey Songz, you know what to do.
follow me on twitter, add me on facebook
The unmastered cut leaked a month or so ago but here’s the fully mastered version of ‘Already Taken‘. The song is about a player dude giving the game up for a chick and telling her competition that he’s already taken. I don’t think I’ll be in that situation anytime soon ha. I’ll be seeing Trey live next week and I kinda wanted to interview him for the site but his press don’t reply to their emails! LAME. Also added Fat Joe’s first single off his new album with Trey on the hook.

Next up a few cuts of one of the most highly anticipated albums of the year ‘Thank Me Later‘ by Drizzy Drake. Dead everytime at the picture haha. These tracks are dope, he’s got that flow that most of these new rappers lack. Aaliyah sample <3
Drake – Unforgettable (feat. Young Jeezy) – Link
Drake – Miss Me (feat. Lil Wayne) – Link
Drake – 9am in Dallas Freestyle – Link, July (feat. Jhena) – Link
KA! I used to design for this homie when before his first and best album came out, Home Sweet Home. Ya’ll remember that ish? P&Q’s was my tune! This is his new single off his upcoming project, it’s produced by electro legends Boyz Noize and features Bashment artist, Aidonia and rapper Wiley.
Kano – Get Wild (feat. Aidonia & Wiley) – Link
Tyga and Chris Brown have been dropping some heat in recent weeks. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the mixtape was, I expecting something full of auto-tuned crap but it was far more than that. Tyga’s flow has definitely improved and Chris Brown came hard both rapping and singing. I’ve got links to my favourite 2 tracks off the album as well as a single download link for the mixtape.
Chris Brown & Tyga - Deuces – Link, Ain’t Thinkin Bout You – Link

KING is back, his last few tracks that have leaked haven’t really created much of a buzz on the radio stations but I think this one will. It features one of my future ex-wives, Keri Hilson and the track is in the same mould as that of Keri’s ‘Knock You Down‘
T.I. – Got Your Back (feat. Keri Hilson) – Link, Yeah Ya Know – Link
I’ve been waiting a few years for Mark Ronson‘s follow-up to his epic 2007 album ‘Version’ and yesterday he dropped the first single off his upcoming project. It features none other than Q-Tip and some female singer that sounds a lot like Santigold.

Meet Wakey!Wakey! is for the most part Michael Grubbs, as he plays piano and sings the vocals. However, the band is not a solo project and incorporates many more musicians to round out the sound, including strings, drums and horns. I spotted them on One Tree Hill and just had to get a few of the songs they played on the show. Imma share with ya’ll my favourite, the video for it is above.
