With a summer onslaught of big, stuffy summer albums closer than you realized, labels are passing down hearty helpings of "exclusives," generating interest in new recordings from names. Most of these songs range from solid to tight to sweet. Initial thoughts included.
Cee Lo - Georgia
Not as good as the singles from 2004's excellent solo album or the best Gnarls Barkley. But I'm intrigued to hear what a Cee Lo solo album sounds like post-household name status.
Black Milk - Don Cornelius
Milk money.
Blu & Exile - So Perfect
Reggie loves to overrate Blu. I get why on gems like this.
Bun B featuring Young Jeezy - Just Like That
Apocalyptic hustle rap. Gimme my respect.
Copywrite - Last Laugh
Khrysis produces for a relatively unknown white guy with miserably bad promotional art. He's a good rapper though, if a bit crass.
Estelle featuring Nas - Fell In Love
Same type of house/retro beat Estelle surfed on 2008's "American Boy." The guest rap is cool. I dig the synths.
Freddie Gibbs featuring Bun B - Rock Bottom
Gibbs makes up for an average, sung hook by bringing out a marvelous narrative from Bun.
Killer Mike featuring T.I. - Ready Set Go
Get ready for Killer Mike's album ya'll.
Madvillain - Papermill
Ever notice Jay Electronica sounds just like DOOM ten years ago?
The Roots featuring John Legend - Doin' It Again
One of the most delectable, ear candy mp3s the Roots have ever leaked. Instantly likable.
The Dream featuring Diddy - Champagne
You may be asking the wrong person, I love all these silly excess anthems.
Waka Flocka Flame featuring Roscoe Dash, Wale - No Hands
Tough to really enjoy even ironically.
