// Tennis - Marathon //
In search of more songs to add to your summer playlist? Well here's one more courtesy of American husband-wife duo, Tennis. I don't know much about them other than the fact that their upcoming album, South Carolina, was inspired by a recent 8-month sailing trip along the Eastern Seaboard. It's a fuzzy little pop song that reminds me of poodle skirts and classic Cadillacs.

// Curren$y - Breakfast (Original Version) //
As much as I hate it when people use dollar signs in their name, I had to give it up for this track from one of hip-hop's many rising stars. Co-produced by urban legend Mos Def, "Breakfast" is about as classy as hip-hop gets. His first official studio release, Pilot Talk, doesn't live up to the hype though. It's too bad, because songs like this would make him a star.

// Big Boi - Daddy Fat Sax //
If you've read the review for Big Boi's Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, you'd know that I'm a fan. Now that I've had some time to sit on the album and sort out my favourites, the cream of the crop seems to be "Daddy Fat Sax". The second track on the album, it really starts things with a bang.

// Neon Hitch - Billionaire (Cover) //
She's travelled all over Europe as a circus performer, lived with Amy Winehouse, and was recently scooped up by Warner after catching the eye of American Idol's Kara Dioguardi. Having co-written Ke$ha's "Blah Blah Blah", pop newcomer Neon Hitch thinks she'ss ready to step into the limelight. Her take on Travie McCoy's "Billionaire" isn't as impressive as it is buzz-worthy, but it's worth a listen. It's a fresh take, to say the least.

// Asher Roth - G.R.I.N.D. (Get Ready It's a New Day) //
It's sophomore season for Roth, as he is faced with the task of improving on the disappointing retail action on his first album. "G.R.I.N.D." might help him get there. It's nice and all, but something tells me that it's not the attention-getter that he needs to live up to his initial hype. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want to dig it more, but can't. It goes with the summer mood.. I'll give him that.

// Trey Songz f. Nicki Minaj - Bottoms Up //
He's the prince of R&B, she's rap's reigning queen bee. They're both working with everyone, and crushing every chance they get. Get these two on the same track and it's a hit. It's not going to change your life or anything, but DJ's need something to spin in the clubs and "Bottoms Up" fits the bill just great.

// Dent May - That Feeling //Dent May is pretty one dimensional. He's got the ukulele/nerd thing, and the funny part is that it works for him. Last years' album produced a few good songs, including the retardedly addictive "Meet Me In the Garden". With "That Feeling", Dent May picks up right where he left off. It's simplistic and ultra wussy, but you gotta love the guy for getting the most out of what he has to work with.
