John Legend feat. Ludacris - Tonight (Best You Ever Had)


Here's "Tonight," the second single from the Think Like A Man soundtrack.  This John Legend and Ludacris collab is a sensual R&B cut that I definitely prefer over the Jennifer Hudson, Ne-Yo and Rick Ross track that dropped last week.  Think Like A Man hits theaters March 9th!

STS - Downhill [Music Video]


What's a week without a GOLDRUSH?

STS continues his internet takeover with visuals to his new song "Downhill," which shows STS rocking packed shows and making the crowd Demand More.  Nice flip of XX's "Shelter." I wonder what's next?

Planet VI (Formerly Rock City) - American Dream [New Mixtape]


Brothers Timothy and Teron Thomas who are the minds behind hits like Rihanna's "Man Down," Mario's "Music For Love," and The Pussycat Dolls' "When I Grow Up," are renewing their position as artists under the new moniker Planet VI.  Formerly known as Rock City, the duo finally cut ties with Akon's Konvict Records/Interscope after years of frustrations with the label.

To give Planet VI a proper introduction, the Virgin Islands representers just dropped the brand new mixtape The American Dream that includes production from Boi-1da and Tha Bizness, and features artists including Bei Maejor, 2 Chainz, Dom Kennedy, Chase N. Ca$he, and more.  Stream/download the mixtape below, and get used to hearing Planet VI more often because they're not going anywhere!

Wiz Khalifa - Oh-Gee-La ft. Juicy J & Lola Monroe (Freestyle) [Music Video]


Taylor Gang's Wiz KhalifaJuicy J, and Lola Monroe aren't waiting until BET Cypher time to show off their camp.  Instead, they've morphed into modern day Fugees and recreated their classic single into "Oh-Gee-La." Nowhere near as good as the original, but at least they're not rapping over "The Motto"...
