Soulo takes a different, upbeat approach to this effort on a track maybe looking to push his boundaries. His usual deep lyrics are replaced with comical wordplay and metaphors but the TDE rapper kept up with the high-speed beat and bodied the hook. Adding crewmate Q for a sound switchup, they bounce off each other.

Trinidad James Ft Juicy J - Females Are Welcome (Rmx)
James continues to follow up the 'A.G.E' smash with another catchy track. This remix features a dubstep sound on the original Reija Lee vocals. It lacks in lyrics, James' point is to create a catchy joint that can be flipped and changed and sound dope. The dubstep kicks in as Juicy J lays his verse, stealing the verse war - most likely gold for his target audience.

J Cole - Cole Summer
'This right here is not a preview' - Cole puts his fans' excitement to hear an album snippet to bed as he puts out this standout track as part of his 'Truly Yours' collection. Addressing all changed since the fame rise, girls and family related before talking Warm Up and FNL's successes and critiques. Ends with 'June 25th. Born Sinner. Bitch'. The wait is nearly over.

ScHoolboy Q - She Like
Q's fierce flow goes tight with this high-pitched, compelling beat. Puffy's unique sound is instantly identified as he switches pace throughout the three verses to match the repetitive drop in bass. You don't get nothin' too deep, but his 'henn' and 'molly' talk is there. Build up to the final hook sound perfect for clubs and big DJ sets.

Talib Kweli Ft Busta Rhymes - Rocket Ship
Kweli's long awated Prisoner of Conscious dropped and this cut with Busta Rhymes shines out. They both go in with educated words, going in at today's 'rap bitches'. RZA produced beat includes drums and interludes that seperate and power the track through. Kweli's whole record merits the support.
As he demands 'What are you stupid? Listen'.

Joey Bada$$ Ft Action Bronson - Beyond A Reasonable Doubt
Two of the hottest up and comers in the game get together on this track as Pro Era lead boy Joey leads with his mellow, monotone flow - comments critise it but the 'beast coster' has the lyrics to rise up. Bronson fires in and steals the show, his more firey, powerful and passionate attempt gives the track a different edge. The collab contrasts and provides a good switch up within it.

Scotty Ft Trinidad James and Big KRIT - GAME
New ATL rapper Scotty's standout track on debut tape 'FAITH' - on paper anyway, as he incorporates James and boom baps KRIT on this effort. He spits unassuming lyrics over a catchy hook. His sound and potential are good on first lesson, shadowing James who enters with brags about the riches the 'GAME' brings. Krit fires it home, with impressive wordplay on his signature sound - stealing the track but a good lineup for Scotty.

Chance The Rapper Ft Ab-Soul - Smoke Again
Chance has been touted on since his 10 day mixtape which blew up the underground. 'Acid Rap' was really waited on, built up - there was pressure on the youngsters, espesh with features like Soulo, Bronson and Gambino onboard. The tape didn't fail, what isn't there in lyricsm is made up in unique sound, like no one in the game. Soulo adds his touch, completing a strong track.

French Montana Ft Mikky Ekko - Trouble
Left off the tracklist for 'Excuse my French', Montana really tones down his usual, party-style flow on this sooth track, Ekko's own personal touch does a lot for the song but French's honest tone shouts out. More respect could be found for the native Moroccan, if tracks along the same line follow this feel, refreshing to hear the Interscope man has another side.

Beyonce Ft Andre 3000 - Back To Black
Unique track that dropped in the last week as part of the collection for the new film release 'Great Gatsby', 3 stacks and Bey do everything to live up to the late Amy Winehouse's classic. Dre's vocals are unique-sounding and melodic, the guitar riffs sound out the deep beat before Mrs Carter's smooth tone catches the chorus with all respect and a new feel. Whilst slowed down and extremely different, this is a real dope ode to the passed.
