This Week's Hottest Tracks

Yeah, it's that time again. Get your CD burners ready and download these new tracks.

1. Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It
By: Ice Cube

Westcoast legend lays down some lyrical pain on this Maestro produced track. Sounds like something that could have been on the 2001 album. Basic drums over an intoxicating piano beat. Very quotable chorus. Remember "Why We Thugs"?

2. Hip Hop
By: Yung Cali

Newcomer set out to change the current Hip Hop trend. A nice blend of pounding piano with new synth. Still keeps the basic westcoast sound. Lyrically, it gives you an overview of rap over the past years. Step yo game up.

3. Blue Magic
By: Jay-Z

Another Jay-Z and Neptunes produced beat? Yeah, but you're gonna love it. The beat knocks with such simplicity and rhythm. Innovation prevails.

4. Ya Dayz R #'d
By: NYG'Z

DJ Premier is back with another great beat. I'm starting to recognize them, due to the similar sounds and structure. But, it delivers just like UPS does.

5. American Dream
By: Bishop Lamont

Dre's newest protege discusses the racism that continues no matter what class you move up into. Slow drums and violins haunt this lyrical track. Be prepared cause this guy is gonna blow up big.

6. Sexual Eruption
By: Snoop Dogg

Now this one is particularly for the ladies. Big Snoop decides to get his T-Pain on and alter his voice. The upbeat tempo and soft syth sound sets the mood.

7. Blow My Mind
By: Styles P featuring Swizz Beatz

SWIZZY MAN! SHOWTIME! Styles P raps over the latest beat from the One Man Band Man. Perfectly sets the nightlife mood with tranquil sounds and synth thumps.

8. Be There
By: Havoc

Self produced single by Havoc delivers with honest vocals and quality sounds.

9. Feel Good
By: G-Unit

GGGGGGGG-Uniiiiiiit. With their new single they ditch the gangsta persona and move straight to the macking. I can help but love the loud bass line. Everyone delivers a well done verse.

10. G.R.I.T.S. (Girls Raised In The South)
By: Stat Quo

You can probably see by now that I love piano beats which is why Dr. Dre is one of my favorite producers. Stat quo delivers lyrical love on this Piano/Orchestra track. I can't wait for his new album coming soon.

*That's What The Business Is*
