Automatic.

Nicki Minaj took notes of the success that she achieved from "Super Bass" and RAN with it. I was shocked at how much singing and dance music was on this new album. I was hoping to see more of the Nicki that showed up on "Monster" but I can't lie, I kinda like this Nicki too. "Starships" is my jam and this "Automatic" track goes in! I would love to hear this in a party! *Starts singing* "I can't control the way I'm moving my hips..."

Fly Together.

Red Cafe is really random to me. He never gets all the way on, but then again, I don't know if he deserves to be. I feel like he's one of those New York rappers that only New Yorkers really love. Coincidentally, all of the songs of his that I like were sent to me by New Yorkers lol I also think that I like his songs mostly because of the production and the features...not really because of his skills. I don't mean for this to sound like a Red Cafe bashing session, because he's cool....but the main reason that I love this song is the beat and Trey Songz's verse lol Whatever. Here it is. (Shout out to Jaggon!)

I can't wait for Chris Brown's new album.

"When you got it all, everybody want something."

This kid is too talented. I wasn't a fan of him rapping at first, but it's started to grow on me and it's even better when he sings his own hooks. I'm in love with the production of this track (that drum breakdown? Sheeeesh...) and it's a pretty solid collaboration. Based on the other singles and a few of the leaked songs that I've heard, I'm pretty sure that this album is going to be amazing. Chris Brown is one of the artists that I still go out and buy physical copies of the CDs for. I'm excited about this one :)

Arch & Point

It's Miguel. Need I say more?

I Put On: "Cashin' Out" by Ca$h Out

Last week, I got in the car, turned on the radio, and heard this song. I turned it up a little bit...then a little bit more...before it was over, I ended up blasting it. LOL That beat is CRAZY! He's obviously not rapping about anything significant but it's a great club song. It has that Roscoe Dash feel to it. Either way, it's been on heavy rotation in my iPod, so I figured it deserved a spot on the blog. You're welcome :)

Cold Crush.

I didn't really love this new Estelle album. It was OK but o be completely honest, I don't think that she's been able to top her first album. Regardless, I LOVE this "Cold Crush" track. It's just one of those relate-able songs that people understand and the production is dope.

Whip Appeal.

I literally haven't heard a Frank Ocean song that I didn't like. I think it's clever how he flipped the old Babyface phrase and made it about a woman's car. Musically, he can do no wrong for me. :) Now, if only he would drop a damn album....smh.

I Put On: "Nobody" by John West

I randomly stumbled across this dude, John West, and I immediately appreciated his smoothness. He has a few tracks floating around, but this one is my favorite.
