New music from Island Def Jam representer, Miranda Brooke. Listen to "Hater" below as she expresses her frustration with a man that she wishes would treat her the way he treats his newest girl.
Musiq Soulchild always knows how to make a video that makes my sensitive a*s cry. In the music video to "Yes," Musiq stands by his girlfriend (portrayed by Jasmine Burke) after learning that she has breast cancer. Watch further as Musiq, the real life ambassador for Susan G. Komen for the Cure Circle of Promise, takes things a step further and walks down the aisle. Gotta love music with a message.
Musiq Soulchild's sixth album, MUSIQINTHEMAGIQ, is in stores NOW.
Last week, Queens MC K. Sparks leaked "The Show Starts," a bonus track from his new album. Now, Diagnosis: Success is officially here! Support real music!
Thurz's LA Riot is one of the best projects of 2011, hands down. I don't buy a lot of music, but I was compelled to give this a listen after hearing so much fuss about it, and I haven't stopped playing it and making sure I give it love on Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio.
As a gift to hip hop lovers everywhere, there is now an exclusive free release of Thurz's LA Riot on DJ Booth. Download the incredible album here.
Bei Maejor is finally gearing up for the release of his debut album after a lot of mixtapes and years of writing/producing for other artists. I'm not in love with the song, but it's a catchy pop track and features a funny verse from J. Cole. Check out the video above and let me know if you're feeling it.
Camp is about to be a problem! Childish Gambino stopped by Hot 97 last night and dropped off "Bonfire," the first single from his debut album, which drops 11.15.11. I've already listened to this 4 times today. I catch something new every time.
During their New Jersey show, Blink 182 surprised the crowd and brought out Bun B as he performed a verse from his song "Draped Up." Gotta love trans-genre collaborations...
Looks like Ne-Yo is gearing up for a new project. Listen to the star studded "The Way You Move" f/ T-Pain & Trey Songz below, which will be featured on DJ Boy Wonda's Tough Love.

I thought it would be a slow Sunday, but thankfully this weekend has brought some new material for me to listen through. The undisputed standout is Philly rapper Ryshon Jones' Friday. This FreEP is the incredibly well executed story of a young man who made a mistake and dumped his girlfriend after cheating, ran into the arms of his female best friend, killed his former best friend, and tries to get his first girlfriend back. Download below as Ryshon spits over some revamped instrumentals from The Weeknd's Thursday album.
