Drake ft. James Fauntleroy - "Girls Love Beyonce"


Drake wasn't kidding when he said this would be a very good week for his fans. After giving Khaled the okay to drop "Started From The Bottom" remix "No New Friends," he sneaks in a new track using Fauntleroy's Cocaine 80s strategy. Looks like the road to Drake's forthcoming effort Nothing Was The Same is officially in sight.

Stream the "Say My Name" sampled "Girls Love Beyonce" below, which capitalizes on a scientifically proven fact. We DO love her!

Kid Cudi ft. Kendrick Lamar - Solo Dolo Pt. 2


KiD CuDi caused a lot of commotion when he announced his amicable departure from G.O.O.D. Music, but the focus now rests on his album Indicud which is set to hit stores on April 23. One of the most anticipated tracks on the project was the Kendrick Lamar featured "Solo Dolo Pt. 2," which we are now privileged to hear since the album leaked to the masses. Don't worry though. Cudi's not mad about it...



Hit the jump to watch a clip of Cudi's interview with the LA Leakers as he speaks on what it was like working with Kendrick Lamar.

[Music Video] Frank Ocean - "Lost"


If I had my way, each song from Frank Ocean's channel Orange would have a visual counterpart. It looks as if I'm one step to having my dream come true as Frank let loose the music video for the upbeat track "Lost."

Watch below as director Francisco Soriano compiles moments from Frank's summer of 2012, and be sure to buy the Grammy Award winning album on Amazon or iTunes if you haven't already!

[New Mixtape] Cassie - #RockaByeBaby


Cassie may not have the best vocal range, but I'll tell you what she does have. A good a** team of writers and producers around her.

After being relatively quiet since her Bad Boy debut in 2006, she presents her new tape RockAByeBaby, which features guest appearances by Wiz Khalifa, Jeremih, French Montana, Fabolous, Pusha T, Ester Dean and more. What's more impressive are the multiple writing credits from Cocaine 80s frontman James Fauntleroy, Jeremih as well as the production from TDE's Sounwave and Cali saxophonist Terrace Martin. Hate if you want, but I'll give this a d(^_^)b guarantee.



Common ft. Cocaine 80s - "Congratulations"


In typical Cocaine 80's fashion, No I.D. casually sent out "Congratulations," a new collaboration with Common.

On "Congratulations" Common tells the story of his best friend getting married in June to someone who might not be the right one for him. Did she smash the homie? Listen to find out.

Fantasia ft. Kelly Rowland & Missy Elliott - "Without Me"

Fantasia debuted a new sound with "Lose To Win," and it sounds like she's headed in a great direction for her album Side Effects Of You. After hearing the Kelly Rowland and Missy featured "Without Me," I might buy the album on April 23rd based on these two tracks alone.

Produced by Harmony, Kyle Stewart and Lambert, "Without Me" has enough versatility to get major radioplay and a little love in the club. Listen below and let me know your thoughts!



Hit the jump to check out the snippets from Side Effects Of You, set to hit stores on April 23.

Pusha T - "Numbers On The Board" (Prod. by Don Cannon & Kanye West)
